25遍，终于到站。沿途闪过的窗景，悠扬的歌声，散落在旅途中……
一首老歌，陪偶回家。

词：
Close your eyes
and roll a dice
under the board
there's a compromise
If after all
we only live twice
which life is the run
road to paradise
Don't say a word
here comes the break
of the day
In white clouds of sand
raised by the wind
of the end of may
close your eyes
and make a bet
faced to the glare
of the sunset
this is about
as far as we get
you haven't seen me
disguised yet
Don't say a word
here comes the break
of the day
In white clouds of sand
raised by the wind
of the end of may
Close your eyes
and make a wish
under the stone
there's a stone-fish
hold your breath,
then roll the dice
it might be the run
road to paradise
Don't say a word
here comes the break
of the day
In white clouds of sand
raised by the wind
of the end of may
Don't say a word
here comes the break
of the day
In white clouds of sand
raised by the wind
of the end of may
介：
1974年，她出生于以色列，从小学吉他时就开始扒Joni Mitchell的曲子，11岁举家迁往巴黎后竟然得到了Joni Mitchell的赏识而结识了著名制作人Benjamin Biolay，后者的古典音乐背景为她的作品带来更丰富的编配层次。2000年Keren Ann的首张专辑《La Biographie De Luka Philipsen》融入了俄国文学、犹太民谣和法国诗歌，并以Trip-Hop、民谣及法国流行乐的融合形式现身，一举在欧洲赢得巨大成功。一曲《Jardin d'Hiver》更是惊动了80高龄的法国Bossa Nova鼻祖Henri Salvador，后者在自己的经典复出专辑《Chambre Avec Vue》中收录了包括《Jardin d'Hiver》在内的五首由Benjamin Biolay和Keren Ann创作的曲子。从第二张专辑《La Disparition》开始，Keren Ann在民谣中加入了更多爵士和布鲁斯的元素，据说是因为听了不少Chet Baker和Tom Waits的东西。这一特点在这张《Not Going Anywhere》也有体现，只不过Keren Ann布鲁斯民谣更低调，略带颓废的清淡语调一直贯穿于小夜曲一般的主题曲中，贯穿于《End Of May》梦幻般的和声中，也贯穿于唯一一首节奏强烈的《Sailor And Widow》之中。甚至连像圣诞童谣一样的《Right Now And Right Here》、唯美极致的香颂《By The Cathedral》和带有一丝拉丁吉他色彩的《Spanish Song Bird》，也无一不笼罩在一层感伤的淡淡雾气中。而早先的Trip-Hop节拍表象已然隐匿，转化成为Beth Gibbons似的内在阴郁。
