而且直到现在还被人们各种翻唱着 这里面肯定有你知道的"雨点不停的落在我的头上",卡朋特兄妹的成名曲"Close to You",包括各种翻唱过的"I'll never fall in love again",SEAL最近翻唱过的"Walk On By"(在Grammy提名2006中你可以找到),等等,太多了…… 我个人最喜欢的是他那首"What the world need now is love"，而且是他亲自演绎的那个版本，就是在电影Austin Powers中，在伦敦双层巴士上为Austin和伊丽莎白·赫丽弹奏钢琴的那一位。 Burt50多年来一直坚持着歌曲创作，其作品先后影响了一大批流行、爵士、和摇滚艺人，这其中也包括Oasis。Burt还一度离开流行乐创作，甚至拉起一支管弦乐团在世界各地演出。 向伟大的天才的勤奋的Burt同志致敬！Burt同志永垂不朽！更希望他能长久的活下去，把那些经典作品用他自己的声音演绎给我们听！

Five decades strong, Burt Bacharach's songwriting career has influenced artists as diverse as Marty Robbins and Oasis and brightened stages from the Great White Way to Tinseltown, forging a body of work that rivals any of the great pop composers of the last century. But as this generous, 23-track compilation skillfully underscores, there was considerably more at work in Bacharach's canon than mere golden formula. Like Gershwin, Bacharach suffused his songs with jazz (and other) influences, giving their laconic rhythms and loping melodies a distinctive, yet deceptively straightforward elegance. More importantly, Bacharach's talents as a producer and arranger insured an unencumbered musical vision, as these largely instrumental arrangements (most culled from a series of 60s/70s solo albums for A&M and Kapp) of many of his biggest hits attest. While his guileless vocals charm "Something Big," "A House is Not a Home," "Close to You"and especially the cabaret drama of "Make It Easy On Yourself," it's his deft way with a studio ensemble that's center stage here. Breezy, often inflected with a Brazilian sense of jazz-cool, these tracks may have originally been intended as an easy-listening alternative during the height of the rock era; ironically, they ended up as a warm musical bridge between the generations. --Jerry McCulley

这是一张普通的专辑，但是在特定的时间，特定的地点，和特定的人，特定的life cycle联系在一起的时候，它就是far from普通的了。可以不夸张的说，音乐，好的音乐是支撑着一个人坚持走下去的全部动力和勇气，不知道未来是什么样，心中只有坚持走下去就对了。就像那个时候我们听的Texas、Cardigans、Pet Shop Boys、Ace of Base和“韵律操”乐团，和这一张《Have a nice day》。 还记得那个没有iPod，没有mp3，CD是奢侈品，而我们只听卡带的年代吗。 那个时候的我们喜欢的音乐是纯粹的，非视觉系的，单纯的音乐。在音乐里，有着我们的单纯的笑脸，有着我们自习室单独的身影，有着图书馆的那一排排书架，有着操场前那条小路，有着头发花白的老师，有着可爱或不可爱的同学，有着我们最灿烂美好的青春时光。 1999年－2008年，当再次听着熟悉的声音，10年的光景仿佛历历在目。如果在另一个空间有着10年前自己的身影，你最想对他说些什么呢？ "You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone."
