谢谢“北纬31度”同学推荐这首来自Joshua Radin的“I'd Rather Be With You”，选自专辑《Simple Times》。这首歌也是美剧《lie to me》第一季第四集的插曲。

Joshua Radin Radin的创作风格属极简的吟唱民谣(acoustic folk/pop)：温暖真诚的歌词加上少量的乐器修衬（吉他、中提琴等弦乐器为主）；主题总是不离爱情左右，嗓音轻柔深沉，音质清透，带有Simon & Garfunkel、Elliott Smith、Damien Rice 和 Iron & Wine的影响。没有浮夸的曲式安排，没有蹩脚的求新，只是一遍一遍拨弄着吉他的和弦，歌由心生，娓娓道来。
温柔到融化整个身体，轻轻编织的细语美梦，Joshua Radin就是这样能让你一遍又一遍的听下去，心境越近平和。典型的美式民谣弹唱，轻柔不费力气，略显沙哑的嗓音有着穿透心底的动情魔力，简单的旋律编排，不夸张不另类，不高亢不低沉，零星点点的动人！单薄的音色吟唱着满满的情意，惬意无边，温暖始终，谁也不愿打扰这个民谣工匠低吟浅唱！（网络整理）
