1951年出生的Phil Collins堪称欧美流行歌坛的一棵万年青。他在乐器方面出道很早，五岁习鼓，二十五岁以前就成为是世界一流摇滚鼓手。在歌唱和作曲方面却是大器晚成，三十岁才出第一张个人专辑<表面价值>，旋即一炮打响。第一首单曲<In the Air Tonight>更被奉为经典，被无数后人翻唱。连美国当今最红的痞子阿姆(Eminem)都在自己的Stan一曲中提到<In the Air Tonight>。Phil不只是出名的工作狂(参照以下巡演时间表)，而且在自己的音乐方面又是个控制狂。虽然出的个人专辑不多，但几乎每一张都包办词曲，制作，敲打乐和键盘，1993年的Both Sides那张专辑干脆是连所有其他乐器也都一手揽来，音乐全方面的实力可见一斑。 童星出身的他，谈吐风趣，平易近人，不象很多其他巨星那样令人敬而远之。这位多才多艺的老牌超级流行/摇滚巨星歌坛生涯三十余年来最可惜的是从未去过中国，以至于大陆歌迷对他的了解相对甚少。
来自遥远北欧年轻的声音，童话之国流行音乐的新贵，三位率真男孩引领流行乐坛新潮流。歌声恬美的创作型团体C21来自北欧的童话 之国丹麦，三位成员分别是大卫、索伦和艾斯本，他们相遇于当地一间足球俱乐部中，共同的兴趣和爱好让他们擦出了音乐上的火花，首 张单曲Stuck In My Heart是完满的答案。C21的故事始于一个足球俱乐部的更衣室：三年前，16岁的索伦是梦想到超级杯踢球的队员，但爱好音乐 的他经常在更衣室里大声歌唱。直到一天某队友的父亲琼听到了歌声邀请索伦去他开的录音室试音，索伦的命运才真正与音乐结缘。很快 ，索伦把他的同伴艾斯本也从中学乐队拉到录音室，进而两人在一次派对热身演出时碰到了另一位有天份的歌手——大卫。当大卫拿起吉 他加入索伦和艾斯本的音乐世界时，C21才真正诞生了。

You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was.. it was you Damn!
mocking bird 歌词（含中文翻译）：
Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cuz you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, aint he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this world When it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a daze I know it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we was teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[Chorus] Now hush little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But i promise momma's gon' be alright
It's funny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
[Chorus]
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the world I'mma buy a diamond ring for you I'mma sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies neck I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha 中文歌词 mockingbird 我知道有些事情对现在的你而言并不总是有意义 但是``嘿~~老爸总是告诉你什么？ 振作起来，小斗士 咬紧你的嘴唇 你哭什么呢？ 你还有我
