記得小時候看《白雪公主》皇后對著鏡子提問的情節嗎,如果今天你站在鏡子前,你會問魔鏡什麼問題呢?本週的《英語咖啡館》John老師和詩敏老師要一起聊一首用這句經典台詞開場的爵士新作,還有歌詞中夾帶的「你身邊的魔鬼」。
Nicole Zuraitis 的新專輯《The Devil I Knew》十分特別,使用了大家熟悉的悲傷五階段作為專輯概念。今天聊的這首《part I - the mirror》作為專輯開場,充滿了大量的對比和心魔,而這也是我們人人都經歷過的情緒歷程,聽完後不妨想想,你身邊的魔鬼是什麼!
Do you remember the scene from "Snow White" when the queen asks the magic mirror a question? If you stood in front of a mirror today, what would you ask it? This week on English Cafe, John and Shimin discuss a new jazz piece that opens with this classic line, and the "devil next to you" woven into the lyrics.
Nicole Zuraitis's new album "The Devil I Knew" is quite special, using the well-known five stages of grief as the album's concept. Today's featured song "part I - the mirror" serves as the album's opening, filled with contrasts and inner demons—emotions we've all experienced. After listening, why not reflect on what your own devil is!
