Beautiful mind

Your heart got a story with mine

Your heart got me hurting at times

Your heart gave me new kind of highs

Your heart got me feeling so fine

So what to do?

Still falling for you

It took us a while

With every breath a new day

With love2)on the line

We’ve found our share of mistakes

4) scar [skɑː(r)] n. 疤，伤疤

5) bold [bəʊld] n. 粗体，黑体

赏析

“绵羊姐”埃利·古尔丁回来啦！

带着一如既往惊艳空灵的绵羊音，埃利为经典爱情电影系列《BJ单身日记》的最新续作献唱主题曲。高亢的长音与清亮的转音在不断加强的电音节奏中交织缠绵，热情如火，温婉如水，轻重缓急无一不恰如其分，歌颂着一段矢志不渝的炙热爱情。值得注意的是，这首电影主题曲的歌词虽然难度不高，但是写得颇具匠心—不断出现的“This love”和“Still falling for you”层层叠叠，每一个小节都有重复的词句互相呼应，读起来工整而富有韵律，大家不妨在欣赏音乐的同时仔细品读，用心体会。
