Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?
I haven’t felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this distraction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they
just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I’m holding here in my fire
This is for you

Am I too obvious to preachin’?
You’re so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through

With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

The words you say to me
are unlike anything
That’s ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That’s ever been
Am I too obvious to preachin’?
You’re so hypnotic on my heart

So, since you want to be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday

But you’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I’ll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You’re gonna have to follow

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?

< Let it Go >

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=Plj8xVlelYU&feature=related

I can’t live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time
But it all works out

You’re a shining ember
I’ll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won’t let you down

And I’ll always be here
Yes, I’ll always be here

Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go

Except for me
I’m the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now

Why don’t we play hooky?
We could both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today

We don’t have to shower
You won’t wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we’ll put it all away

And we’ll always be near
We should always be near

Don’t you know you’re the one for me
After all, anyone can see

後記:

< Gavin Degraw 蓋文迪克羅/ 1977.4.2 / NY >

國內可能對這位歌手名有點陌生,報導的也不多,
不過他可是當今正發紅的創作歌手.
擅長吉他與鋼琴,所以創作中也已這兩種為主旋,再加上他自己那很有張力的
聲音,可說是全方位的才子了.
喜歡這兩首歌,感受當中所散漫的些許愁與無耐情緒,
有些壓抑卻不會讓人窒息!

2003年夏天推出專脊 < Chariot >.
〈I Don’t Want To Be〉為視率極佳的電視影集
「One Tree Hill」的重點主題音樂，迅速於2004年夏季挺進全美單曲榜Top10，熱潮未退的再將同名單曲〈Chariot〉推上流行榜Top30之林中，接踵而來的好評。

紐約出生的Gavin，從小就在家庭灌輸音樂訊息下成長，八歲開始學習鋼琴，學生時期的Gavin，與哥哥合組翻唱樂團，開始在紐約當地表演，利用這個歷練，一邊累積多元樂器演奏技巧，一邊撰寫屬於自己的創作歌曲，進入J Records發行的《Chariot》.

經過一年的銷售大逆轉，唱片公司立刻改版再推出《Chariot-Stripped》，迅速攻上熱門潛力榜冠軍，流行專輯榜No.56，銷售突破百萬大關，CD1的部分，仍完整收錄〈Follow Through〉、〈I Don’t Want To Be〉、〈Chariot〉等三首排行暢銷作，另外順暢吉他音韻勾引出的〈(Nice To Meet You)Anyway〉，配入跳躍琴聲音符穿繞其中，處處可聽見吸引人的動人旋律；而〈More Than Anyone〉、〈Over-Rated〉等曲，都是值得再次推薦的稱頭佳作！

CD2的部分，將《Chariot》專輯中11首歌重新以現場Acoustic的方式演譯，另外加收一首以輕鋼琴輔佐，帶出靈式曲韻的〈Change Is Gonna Come〉，正也吐露出屬於Gavin的機會已經來臨，別再錯過這張已經熱賣兩年的優質專輯！
