美丽的黑珍珠Aaliyah生于1979年1月16日,2001年8月25日在拍摄《黑客帝国》续集中途因飞机失事而香消玉陨,这位年仅22岁的艺人却是天不从人愿,Aaliyah的生命结局不由让人想起John Danver,是不是传奇人物注定都要以传奇开始,以传奇终局?全世界的歌迷都只能扼腕叹息……
在新生代的布鲁斯女歌手中,Aaliyah的经历很是特别。1994年她的首张专辑《Age Ain't Nothing But a Number》一鸣而红拥有了白金之尊,1996年在Timbaland与Missy Elliott协作下推出的《One in a million》则被评为当年的最有创意和突破的专辑之一。不过之后她即把注意力转向了好莱坞,在大片《Romeo Must Die》中担纲女主角和李连杰演对手戏,同时还在广受关注的《黑客帝国》续集中饰演角色Zee。这位酷酷的小女生还对吸血鬼感兴趣,在根据《夜访吸血鬼》的作者女作家Ann Rice的同名小说改编的影片《The Queen Of The Damned》中饰演一个名叫Akasha的吸血鬼女皇--够酷吧?!不过Aaliyah并没有离歌坛太远,对于歌影双栖的身份她把握得游刃有余,以女主角身份演唱的《Romeo Must Die》主题曲Try Again荣登当年billboard流行單曲榜榜首,1999年为Eddie Murphy的影片《怪医杜立德》配唱的主题曲Are you that Somebody也疯狂热销大受欢迎.
Blackground唱片公司在声明中把 Aaliyah赞誉为“女王”,声明中说: “Aaliyah将会被无数热爱她的人所深深怀念,我们希望她短暂的生命历程可以为这个世界上所有的年轻人带来启迪和思考。”该公司的声明中也对另外两名牺牲者表示了哀悼,Gina Smith和Keith Wallace,声明把他们称之为Blackground唱片大家庭中的一员。
与此同时,Virgin唱片公司也在声明中将Aaliyah赞誉为“世界上最有光彩也最有天赋的明星,将为所有喜爱她和她的音乐的人所哀悼。她全方位的才华和已经达到的高度是与她的敬业和为音乐献身的热情相称的。
音乐产业界普遍认为Aaliyah的离去对整个音乐界是“巨大的损失。” di Bonaventura在一份声明中说:“Aaliyah是和我合作过的年轻女性中最为优秀的,她是一位完美的职业音乐人,一位令人惊异的天才,潜能无法限量,最重要的是,她是一个不循常规的人。她的去世对于她在沃纳·布鲁斯公司的众多支持者而言是一个巨大的损失,在此我们向她的家人和那些与我们一样爱她的人们致以深切的同情和慰问”。
“我们失去了一位伟大的年轻艺术家,Aaliyah事业未竟。这是可怕的悲剧,我的心与她的亲人同悲。”——Brenna,巴拿马
ACAPELLA:
Let me know, let me know
Ah - ha, let me know, let me know
Let me know
Verse 1:
When I feel what I feel
Sometimes it''s hard to tell you so
You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know
There are times when I find
You want to keep yourself from me
When I don''t have the strength; I''m just a mirror of what I see
Chorus:
But at your best you are love
You''re a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know. . .
Verse 2:
When you feel what you feel
Oh, how hard for me to understand
So many things have taken before this love affair began
But if you feel, oh, like I feel
Confusion can give way to doubt
For there are times when I fall short of what I say,
What I say I''m all about, all about
Chorus:
But at your best you are love
You''re a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know. . .
Bridge:
Tell me what it is (Tell me what it is)
Make believe, no need to make believe
Look beyond your own (Look beyond your own)
Try and find another place for me
Cause. . .
