温柔告白
时隔八年，Damien Rice终于发声。
《I don't want to change you》是新专辑《My Favourite Faded Fantasy》发布的第二支单曲，正如Damien曾允诺过的一样，“an epic scope and artful arrangements”，至少从这两首先发的单曲来看，他做到了，足以让我们这些翘首企盼Damien的人们喜出望外的同时，对他的爱更加深。
不知道Damien在这八年里经历了什么，还是所说的时间让人成熟、岁月使人成长，在听《I don't want to change you》时，你仿佛会看见一个男人，漫不经心却又紧张急切在对一个女人念一封情书，他生怕自己的心思不能表达到位，这其中的感情丰沛得就像泉水一样不停地往外涌：
不论你在哪里，你要知道，我喜欢你（Wherever you are, know that I adore you）；
不论路途有多遥远，我会先你一步走在前面（No matter how far, well I can go before you）；
我从没有像和你在一起这样与其他人在一起过（i’ve never been with anyone in the way i’ve been with you）。
情到深处，眼看可能收不回来时，每一句念词却拿捏地恰到好处：
我不想改变你，我也不想改变你的思想（i don’t want to change you i don’t want to change your mind）；
如果你只想一个人，我会等你，如果你想告别单身，我会乐意陪伴着你（if you just want to be alone well, i can wait without waiting,if you want me to let this go well, i’m more than willing）。
Damien在这首歌中的所表达的感情似乎低到没有底线，卑微却留有尊严，但是转念一想，真爱一个人时何尝又不是这样，I don't wanna change anything, but please let me just be there for you，这意思好像是在说，我给你足够的自由，让我好好来爱你。
和以往Damien多以吉他为伴奏乐器的风格相比，新专辑的两首单曲都有更加丰富性的配乐及编曲，可能要多谢制作人Rick Rubin的帮助，尤其《I don't want to change you》的提琴旋律伴奏，把整首歌曲的气氛渲染得极度到位。第一遍听时，我脑海中一直萦绕着这个旋律，在某种程度上，这个旋律带动了Damien的演唱和情绪，非常完美。
说我不务正业也好，说我三心二意也罢，我今天一直听的就是《I don't want to change you》，“water races down the waterfalls”，那种感觉可以把你稳稳地拽入深潭之后又被高高抛到空中，就像我跑步跑到5K的时候会有的那种感觉：飘，跨步毫不费力，身轻如燕，身体不受自己控制，但就持续几秒钟，类似orgasm，很梦幻。
Damien的第三张录音室专辑《My Favourite Faded Fantasy》将在今年11月11日发布，这是今秋最值得期待的专辑，不为过。
附《I don't want to change you》的歌词：
wherever you are
you know that i adore you
no matter how far
well, i can go before you
and if ever you need someone
well, not that you need helping
but if ever you want someone
know that i am willing
i don't want to change you
i don't want to change your mind
i just came across a manger
out among the danger
somewhere in a stranger's eye
wherever you go
well, i can always follow
i can feed this real slow
if it's a lot to swallow
and if you just want to be alone
well, i can wait without waiting
if you want me to let this go
well, i'm more than willing
cause i don't want to change you
i don't want to change your mind
i just came across a manger
out among the danger
somewhere in a stranger's eye
i don't want to change you
i don't want to change your mind
i just came across a manger
out among the danger
somewhere in a stranger's eye
i've never been with anyone
in the way i've been with you
but if love is not for fun
then it's doomed
cause water races
water races down the waterfalls
water races
water races down the waterfall
i don't want to change you
i don't want to change your mind
i just came across a manger
where there is no the danger
where love has eyes and is not blind
