其實很早就聽到這張專輯,Her Diamonds為第一主打
不過我第一次聽完這首歌並不覺得有什麼特別的地方
但就在前幾天我認真聽完這整張專輯發現這首歌越聽越耐聽
Rob Thomas獨特又性感的唱腔為這首歌增添了不少味道
這首由他自己創作的歌曲在次證明了,Rob Thomas不僅是一位出色的歌手,而更是一位出色的創作人
Cradlesong這張專輯的主打歌"Her Diamonds",描述夫妻或情侶之間,其中一半每天都在對抗病魔等心理
以及生理上的痛苦 ,另外一半卻幫不上忙也都痛在心裡的心情 . Rob Thomas把他日常生活所遇到的事情
放在歌曲裡面,因為他老婆就在對抗紅斑性狼瘡,也許因為如此他的歌詞簡單卻相當感人,使聽者很容易因
為自己的經驗感同身受. (引自http://blog.yam.com/evonnieh/article/23721685)
Rob Thomas在歌曲中將女人的眼淚比喻成鑽石,這也許是MV中包圍著女主角那一層冰的靈感來源

I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And Her Diamondsbring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She'll be all right
She'll be all right
Just not tonight
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
