加薪貓之生人勿近

這首歌是收錄在Joey 1995年的個人專輯「A Place to Call Home」的同名作品，
這是自彈自唱的Live版本，我最近才第一次看到這段影片，一聽我就很喜歡～
輕快的曲風完全不同於Europe的硬搖風格，而是帶有鄉村搖滾的味道。
我想我對於音樂的偏好，絕對的會受我所喜愛的歌手所影響，
只要是我喜歡的歌手，他所創作或是演唱的歌曲，80％以上我會接受，
哪怕它並不是我原本所喜好的曲風。
像Baz之前那首鄉村歌曲「Battle with the Bottle」我就也很喜歡的說～

好喜歡Joey他這樣自彈自唱的樣子，而且帶著滿足笑容的表情～
能這樣唱歌一定好快樂！好嚮往喔～～可惜我不會彈吉他～
可是捏................................

頭髮啦！頭髮！！！幹嘛剪這麼短啦～～
我最愛的金色捲毛爆炸澎澎頭不見了～～～還我～～～

用翻譯軟體翻了一下歌詞，大致了解一些，不是完全理解，
有時間再詳細研究吧～
唉～聽不懂就是有這種困擾，不懂歌詞的含意是什麼～
可是我偏偏就愛聽這些聽不懂的語言～呵呵～

節錄一段維基的資料：
『A Place to Call Home is the first solo album by Joey Tempest, the vocalist in the Swedish hard rock band Europe. It was released on April 20, 1995 and presented a different sound compared to Europe.

"I needed a change from the Europe sound," Tempest said in an interview, "I wanted to prove myself as a singer/songwriter for sure, but for me it was more of a journey to learn about making music. I went to see a lot of new young artists .. got into stuff like Van Morrison and Bob Dylan."

Europe guitarist John Norum made a guest appearance on the song "Right to Respect".』

事實證明，
Joey Tempest絕對是個很棒很棒的Singer & Songwriter～

A Place to Call Home （Released：April 20, 1995 / Genre：Country rock）

A Place To Call Home

I was out the front door like nothing was lost
wanted my freedom no matter what the cost
It made no difference what anyone said
I didn't follow my heart I followed my head

well a man is an island but the water is deep
and the shore on the other side is ragged and steep
well I built my castle for just one man
without the love of a woman it's made out of sand

the tower of strength with no one around
to pick me up when it all came down
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home o
h yeah, uh huh

well you travel the highways and you travel the world
when there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard
to look for perfection is a lonely old ride
it takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride

and then one day when you really care
she touches your soul but you're far too scared
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home
oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah

I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself
learning how to love now I need it from somebody else
Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time
come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme
when you look for independence and you get what you want
how come you look back thinking "what have I done?"
but time and again it dawns on me
it's the price we pay for liberty
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home oh yeah, home
God I miss you tonight
we all need a place to call home oh yeah
