 《My Name》--  McLean


 i was in the darkness waiting to be found
my heart was locked away and beaten to the ground
tried to find my way but there was no way out
but when you're close to me, whenever you're around
you take the pain away, you make it worth the wait
and i pray that i will have you in my life always
and when my hope is gone you make me keep the faith

i guess what i'm tryna say
baby you got me falling uncontrollably in love, never felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn't enough
hey i wanna give you my name, my name, my name (hey)
i wanna give you my name, my name, my name
i wanna give you my..

my everything and all that i possess
cos you deserve to be offered nothing less
you know i'm there for you like you've been there for me
but whenever i'm without you girl i find it hard to breathe
you take the pain away, you make it worth the wait
i was broken but you came along and mended me
now that my hope's restored and i can keep the faith

all i gotta say is
baby you got me falling uncontrollably in love, never felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn't enough
hey i wanna give you my name, my name, my name (hey)
i wanna give you my name, my name, my name
i wanna give you my..

you take the pain away, you make it worth the wait (wait, wait..)
you take the pain away, you make it worth the wait (wait, wait..)

baby you got me falling uncontrollably in love, never felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn't enough
hey i wanna give you my name, my name, my name (hey)
i wanna give you my name, my name, my name
i wanna give you my..

 
 

“One of my earliest memories is running around the house singing my Dad’s song ‘If I Gave My Heart To You’ 

– that was his first song that stuck with me,” says McLean, son of Lovers Rock legend John McLean. 

 在英國本來名不見經傳的McLean和很多近年來網路造就成名的藝人一樣，

要感謝包括YouTube 和MySpace社交網站的幫助，實現他實現音樂理想。

 2000萬的下載點擊量讓本名叫作安東尼(Anthony McLean)的這名藝人兩年前從自費、並且很寒酸、低調地網絡發行自己的首支單曲開始

突然間從去年下半年起引起英國主流的注意。

從父輩親傳的“抒情搖滾”(Lovers Rock)的Reggae精神，讓McLean的音樂一聽就有很強的親和力，

而且這種把六、七十年代的久遠、但是很深遠地影響McLean的東西展現在當今躁動的英國流行歌壇，很有“獨樹一格”的意味

 McLean誓言要和他的女友送CD和宣傳T卹“到吐血為止”。

這位以前一直只能靠送比薩餅、工廠保全來糊口的藝人，已經鯉魚躍龍門

正式在英國簽在了華納旗下的Asylum Records，並且在美國併入了Atlantic Records的名下
