【发布】【英文】tamas wells - Valder Fields

           Tamas Wells既是团名也是其中主唱的名字，这支来自澳洲墨尔本的indie-pop乐团最早成立于2000年初，当时只有Owen Gray (bass, harmonica)及Ben Castle(violin)两名成员，发行的第一张EP"Hello Jealousy"是张带点政治意味的民谣唱片，创作灵感来自当年的“第三世界国家债务解除运动”，第二年鼓手Nathan Collins的加入带入了新的创作元素，而接下来紧密的巡回演出，也为Tamas Wells在当地乐界积累了不少人气。2002年3月和8月分别发行了两张广受好评的EP（"Cigarettes, a Tie and a Free Magazine"及"Stitch In Time"），Ben中途退出，接着加入了Tamas和Anthony。知名制作人Tim Whitten（曾制作过Gersey, Art of Fighting, Gaslight Radio）在听过"Stitch in Time" 之后颇为欣赏，邀请他们来悉尼的Megaphon studios共同录制新唱片，2004年第一张专辑"A Mark On The Pane"曾被评为当年最美的唱片之一。

valder fields 歌词
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Let me tell you now well got me in a fix
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits
I had to walk a long long way to town
Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on
Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions
I gonna want to be right off for home

Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you
A summer's day out in California
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Give me them cotton fields
(It was back in Louisiana)
Let me hear it for the cotton fields
(Just about a mile from Texarkana)
You know that there's just no place like home

Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown
In them old cotton fields back home
