本週的《英語咖啡館-爵士學英語》,John 老師和 Shimin 老師帶來了爵士樂壇實力派夫妻檔 Nicole Zuraitis 和 Dan Pugach 的現場錄音專輯。這對爵士夫妻曾在拉斯維加斯駐場演出,究竟為什麼頂尖藝人會選擇留在 Vegas,讓全世界的粉絲千里迢迢飛來找他們呢?

再來今天要介紹的歌曲是這首充滿意象的《All Stars Lead to You》。從星系、彗星到引力,歌詞裡的每一個畫面都在描繪那種被某個人深深吸引、卻又不知所措的感受。有趣的是,原來外國人寫歌也會把「海市蜃樓」藏進歌詞裡!光學幻覺、沙漠之海,這些意象到底在說什麼?讓我們解析給你聽。

This week on "English Cafe - Learn English Through Jazz," John and Shimin bring you a live recording album from power couple jazz artists Nicole Zuraitis and Dan Pugach. This jazz couple once performed residencies in Las Vegas—so why do top-tier artists choose to stay in Vegas, making fans from all over the world fly thousands of miles to find them?

Next, today's featured song is "All Stars Lead to You," filled with vivid imagery. From galaxies and comets to gravity, every image in the lyrics describes that feeling of being deeply drawn to someone while feeling utterly lost. Interestingly, it turns out foreign songwriters also hide "mirages" in their lyrics! Optical illusions, seas in the desert—what do these images really mean? Let us break it down for you.
