介绍：一位远方的朋友让我推荐温柔治愈系的歌，我推了几首，这是其中一首。

来自苏格兰格拉斯哥的Camera Obscura是由六个音乐家组成的一个明亮，闪耀的独立流行乐队。Camera Obscura有一位轻盈、灵动的女主唱Tracyanne Campell，她的嗓音深获乐评赞赏，常与Tracy Thorn、Astrud Gilberto等美丽女声相提并论。

歌词：
You had the office before you had the business
你有公务之前就有了办公室
You had the ring before you found the girl
你有新娘之前就有了婚戒
If it were up to you would she be suffering still?
如果一切由你那她是否还在受苦？

You say your arms ache from the weight of your mistakes
你说你犯过的错误压着胳膊很疼
You're the keeper of the doomsday clock
你就是那末日之钟的守护者
Did I get that wrong?
我理解错了吗？

Little darling, I try
小小亲爱的，我试着

Oh at least I look on the bright side
噢至少我看着乐观的那一面
I'll break it to you gently
我会轻柔地透露给你
Break it to you gently
轻柔地透露给你

With their 45s from 82 and the looks that say
差45秒他们就82了而那样子显示
I'm cooler than you
他们比你酷

They hide behind boxing fists and arrogance
他们用拳头和傲慢交易

I got nothing, nothing, nothing to say
我无话，无话，无话可说

About the way you spend your day
关于你如何度过你的一天

You rest your head on your hands.
你的头倚靠着你的双手
would you let it slip away?
你就这样让时光悄悄溜走吗？

Little darling, I try
小小亲爱的，我试着

Oh at least I look on the bright side
噢至少我看着乐观的那一面
I'll break it to you gently
我会轻柔地透露给你
Break it to you gently
轻柔地透露给你

Little darling I try
小小亲爱的我试着

Oh at least I look on the bright side
噢至少我看着乐观的那一面

I'll break it to you gently
我会轻柔地透露给你
Break it to you gently
轻柔地透露给你

Little darling, I try
小小亲爱的，我试着

Oh at least I look on the bright side
噢至少我看着乐观的那一面

我会轻柔地透露给你
Break it to you gently
轻柔地透露给你

Little darling, I try

驱散滞留在你头上的乌云

文/索菲娅·安德雷森，译/姚风

驱散滞留在你头上的乌云，
驱散带走你目光的飞鸟，
驱散比石头更沉重的梦魇。

哪怕我的表情把你刺穿
让你自孤独滚入尘埃，
哪怕我的声音灼烧你呼吸的空气，
让你的双眼再无法凝视，
此刻我来了，你必须看见我。
