The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
(Instrumental for 1 minute)
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

今天继续！
介绍一位新歌手-出生于1986年，年仅22岁的Blaine Larsen-如果你只是听他的歌，你根本不会想到这样成熟，这样有质感，是一个这么年轻的小伙子发出的！当初他的新歌刚刚在电台播放的时候，成千上万的听众都在打听这样一个成熟而散发绅士魅力的声音是谁，听到答案后是一样的吃惊。相信在你听过这般浑厚声线后，一定爱上这个这个英俊帅气的乡村小子！
首先献上Rock you tonight! let's cheer up!
we grew up in the same town
Three houses down on Magnolia Street
Young love was going strong
Even though your Dad and Mom were sound asleep
A blanket and some moonlight
We'd slip down by the lake
Seventeen and restless
You know we just couldn't wait
And I wish I were rockin you tonight
I remember the day we both cried
You got that full ride to university
You had to do what you had to do
And we both knew it was the end of me
We wrote "we miss you letters"
Made long distance calls
But I lost you forever halfway through the fall
And I wonder, baby, who's rockin you tonight
And I live for those moments
Wrapped up in your arms
Swaying to the music of those wildly beating
Wildly beating hearts
Gotta a lot of time to think of you
On my way to the next marque sign
With any luck one of these days
You'll see my name, no, I'm doing fine
Every now and then out here on the stage
I look through the flood lights
And I swear I see your face
Feels so good to be rockin you tonight
Yeah, I'm rockin you tonight
I'm rockin you tonight
Baby, I'm rockin you tonight
《Off to Join the World》是Blaine Larsen在18岁发行的，并在当时的2004年获得了极大反响，可能在POP领域以这样的年纪出道还算“不晚”，但在乡村乐这边就少之又少了。加之乡村乐手大都是创作型歌手，这样的年纪正式出道常人难以想象。
强烈推荐专辑的主打歌the best man，这是献给他继父的歌。早在他5岁时父母离异，和妹妹随母亲搬往老家，在小镇Buckley住下。Blaine Larsen的童年一直笼罩在没有父爱的阴影下---直到他遇到Woody，也就是后来他的继父，才重新拾起了乐趣与希望。是他让Blaine Larsen喜爱上乡村乐，他自己也说“Woody是世界上最棒的男人，也是他教会了我怎样成为最棒的男人。”歌词非常淳朴感人！

My mama got married to someone I barely knew
They had me and then they had my sister too
I was too young to understand why he left
But how it broke Mama's heart, I'll never forget
It was three years before she met somebody new
And though I didn't have much to compare him to
He was the best man, my mama ever loved
Not the kind that walks away, but the kind that don't give up
Devoted and true, someone to look up to
Even a boy of eight could understand
He was the best man
He called me his son and I called him my dad
He was the like no friend I had ever had
He taught me how to drive a nail and how to build a go-cart
And how to love a women with all of my heart
One night we watched him get down on one knee
And ask mama to be his wife, then he asked me
To be the best man, and I stood by his side
As he lifted the veil of that beautiful bride
He said I do, then she did too
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
With the best man
[solo]
He said I do, and then she did too
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
With the best man
Teaching Me How To Love You
-他的歌好像都是在讲述自己的故事，真切的生活感悟，歌词朴实无华，但真实感人...
Her name was Sarah Jean, it was a night like this
In front of the Dairy Queen, she gave me my first kiss
I was just ten years old, so I never knew
She was teaching me how to love you
After the high school dance, in my ol' man's car
Holdin' Carol Ann, I tried to go too far
When she said "no", I didn't have a clue
She was teaching me how to love you
Every hand we hold, every bridge we burn
Every story told was another lesson learned
A few years ago, I met jill one night
Man I loved her so, but I didn't treat her right
When she left me there with my heart broke in two
She was teaching me how to love you
Every hand we hold, every bridge we burn
Every single story told is another lesson learned
So if I should glance in your rearview mirror
At every failed romance that brought you here
Honey, I can't be hurt by what I see
They were teaching you how to love me
They were teaching you how to love me
Carpenters兄妹的歌，也是我的最爱之一，他们虽然在乐坛只驻足了十余年时间，却代表了一个永恒 : 有些声音并不会随时间流逝而消失，就像一颗星星，也许平时不会留意， 但一抬头发现他依然在同一个位置静静的闪亮着， 温暖着我们的心，给我们带来一丝宁静或者希望。
Yesterday Once More 无疑是其中的代表作，影响了整整一代人; 而 “Ticket to Ride，我自己的感觉是和THE BEATLES相比，多了一点淡淡的伤感; “Rainy Days And Mondays”是下雨天常听的曲子，彷徨、忧郁、逃避现实，但对未来又充满期待；“Close To You”是Carpenters的成名作，其特有的旋律和配乐，尤其是人声背景，无不给我们强烈的怀旧感；而“Jambalaya”的吉特巴舞曲节奏，让你涌起扑上美丽大自然的冲动。。。。。。。
哇！太好了！找到知音了！小马的文笔好好哦！我自愧不如！
这个组合，妹妹karan的声音温暖而磁性，仿佛能触摸到你心底；容易被忽略的是哥哥richard。richard是幕后合音，也是位钢琴家，他知道要如何巧妙的将乐器和歌声结合在一起,所以他们的歌音效都相当出色！他更写出了不少动听的歌曲，例如Yesterday Once More和 Top Of The World。他还有着出众的音乐直觉，为The Carpenters带来了令人吃惊的20首TOP40曲子(其中更有12首进入TOP10)，像是 Super Star、Rainy days and Mondays、We've only just begun、Sing、 Top of the world、Only yesterday和Yesterday Once More。因为这样的功力，使他四度被提名为葛莱美奖"最佳制作人。
