歌手9. THE FORCE OF LOVE (Lia sings for RF online)／Lia

Special Site(推薦!!!)：
提供試聽與 THE FORCE OF LOVE一曲PV欣賞

Lia 官方網站：

唱「鳥之詩」的Lia，大概已經有名到無可復加的地步了吧
....可見一首好歌的影響力是多麼地大
....而唱到一首具好歌又對一個歌手來說是多麼重要xD

Lia 的前一張專輯 mini Album『gift』(051229)，當時隱約記得並不受我青睞，第一首 荒城の月 就讓我打退堂鼓
2nd Album『 Colors of Life』(050525) 之前也不怎麼注意
更別提 1st Album『prismatic』 (040625) 了
不過這次Lia為RF  online game所唱的這捲專輯---『THE FORCE OF LOVE』 倒是備受我關注

話說RF online壓根兒沒玩過，所以我也是從一無所知的狀態下開始聽，比起過去Lia自身的專輯，這捲專輯的編曲風格顯然突出
難道是因為網路遊戲可以投入資金比較多的緣故？:p
還是，追究專輯本身以遊戲為出發點，因此所塑立的曲風更鮮明許多？
....應該是後者吧。

後來細想怎麼之前都不怎麼想去聽Lia的個人專輯？
Lia的歌聲雖然很純淨 (或許再稍微渾厚一點會比較好)，唱起歌來其實真的還蠻好聽的
但是個人專輯本身感覺很普通，僅靠Lia的歌聲做賣點，不能稱上是好作品
因此這捲THE FORCE OF LOVE專輯，除了讓我很高興終於又聽到好聽的歌曲外，也益發覺得專輯製作真的是蠻重要的

 
songs list： 
 1. ～Introduction～
 2. War for Peace (Theme of Bellato)
 3. somewhere (Theme of Cora)
 4. HAIL THE NATION (Theme of Accretia)
 5. THE FORCE OF LOVE ～peaceful ver.～
 6. Aggressive Overture (Theme of endless battle)
 7. solitude
 8. ～Interlude～
 9. GIVE PRAISE
10. Planets Requiem (Theme of intense war)
11. THE FORCE OF LOVE (Theme of RF online)
12. harmonia

整捲大體上都是以英文獻唱，只有最後一首回歸日文，查了一下資料，才知道曲名後面括弧的意思
War for Peace →  Bellato聯盟主題曲
somewhere → 克拉聖潔同盟的主題歌
HAIL THE NATION → Accretia帝國主題歌
THE FORCE OF LOVE → RF日版主題歌
聯盟、帝國什麼的，不外乎就是遊戲的設定吧

第2首  War for Peace，是我最喜歡也最讓我放大耳朵去聽的一曲，也是因為這曲才讓我注意到整捲專輯
輕快卻帶點莊重的節奏，不管是Lia的歌聲也好、中間喃喃自語的說話聲、還有合音、歌詞、或曲風我都非常喜歡
或許是因為合音彌補了Lia歌聲不夠厚的弱點，Lia的確唱出了歌曲所下的標題的味道
尤其在最後強勁的尾音時也結束得非常好，我倒是覺得這樣的歌曲才足夠發揮出Lia歌聲的特色，單調的抒情歌還是不要唱太多的好 xD

第11首 THE FORCE OF LOVE ，倒是看了PV才比較注意到 (我個人好像對抒情曲比較不敏感XD)
當然我不是去注意裡面的機器人之類的，我以看Lia的角度來看的，看了才覺得這首歌還蠻好聽的

其他歌曲大致上都還可以聽，第4首 HAIL THE NATION 也是首有趣的歌曲，不過我還是偏愛第2首
整體而言，是還不錯的一卷專輯 

因為Special Site已經提供PV，所以上面的WMPlayer就提供兩首完整的歌曲試聽
---- War for Peace 和主題曲  THE FORCE OF LOVE ，並提供歌詞 (英文就不用翻譯了，哈哈)
若需要其他歌詞也可以找我要

War for Peace
Music by: Tsuyoshi Kaneko
Arranged by: aikamachi+nagie
Lyrics by: Sachi
Gut Guitar, Irish Bouzouki: Koichiro Tashiro

Silent bells will ring
A signal for us to fight
Deep inside we wing
Something different all the time
Why do we still hurt each other?
When all is pain that drowns you down and nothing more

No one doubts our fights
We protect our families
In the darkest nights
We destroy our enemies
Is this the way out to survive?
When all it leaves us is nothing but knives not lives

(All within the rising force)
Day adn night we pray for peace to come
When not at war, that is what we long for
Let us sing and dance to our motherland
With smiles and laughter

Out loud bells will ring
Once again for us to hear
Can't help our hearts sing
Something different yet not fear
This is the way out to survive
No matter how deep the pain or the lives it costs

We will keep believing that one day this will end
Each step we take, will take us to the next
We'll keep fighting 'til our men say
Then we will find our peace

Yes we will, keep believing in tomorrow
Yes we will, fight until there is tomorrow
The Holy Force will never die

Day and night we pray for peace to come
When not at war, that is what we long for
Let us sing and dance to our motherland
With smiles and laughter

THE FORCE OF LOVE
Music by: Tsuyoshi Kaneko
Arranged by: DJ Defilements
Lyrics by: Tatsuji Ueda
Acoustic Guitar: Masanobu Fukuhara

All alone,somewhere far away from home
In a lonely place where no one konws your name
Lost inside a corner of your mind
Looking for a place to hide and none to find

Back in the days when you were just a child
The sunrays danced eternally
And when you least expect it,you hear a voice inside
Telling you to begin the life of your dreams

You have the power to believe
Take a look inside your heart
A road is waiting for you
The truth is written in the stars
No matter who you are
You feel the force of love

Like a wind blowing high above the clouds
You were moving fast but couldn't touch the ground
Think of the days when you were just a child
You felt a joy so tenderly

And if you stop to listen to what you feel inside
You can be everything you wanted to be

You have the power to achieve
If you reach inside your heart
Your wish is waiting for you
The truth is written in the stars
No matter where you are
You feel the force of love

All the pain and tears and broken dreams
Flowing like a river
It's never easy to see
Trust what you feel and just keep your spirit free
You can be all the things you wanted to be
In your dreams

You have the power to believe
Make a promise in your heart
Your future's waiting for you
A secret in the sky above
Like a shooting star
You feel the force of love

It's written in the stars
