Seven Days--Craig David
| CRAIG DAVID ， R&B 的守护者 |
| 2000年，当HIP-POP开始疯狂的席卷着整个主流音乐市场的时候，我们的耳边突然响起了一个与众不同的声音，他就是 当时风靡全球流行乐坛的 R&B守护者—— Craig David 。 1981年5月5日出生于英国南安普敦的Craig David受到父亲的影响，从小就开始接触音乐，当时的他钟情于Stevie Wonder、Terence Trent D'Arby和 Michael Jackson等等流行乐界的前辈，他的才华也开始渐渐的展露出来。早在中学时代，笔记本中就密密麻麻的写下了由他自己创作的词曲，并在 16 岁那年赢得全国作曲比赛大奖。怀着对音乐的热爱，他加入了PCRS 106.5FM电台，并在一些小型的Club中担任DJ ，而这些经历正为他以后的成功奠定了坚实的基础。 终于，才华横溢的Craig David被著名制作人Mark Hill发现，在2000年3月推出了一首单曲“Fill Me In”，顺理成章的拿下了英国单曲榜冠军，而第二首单曲“7 Days”又再次登上 英国单曲榜冠军宝座。同年夏天推出的一张专辑《Burn To Try》毋庸置疑的再获殊荣，获得了BRIT AWARDS 、 GRAMMY等国际流行乐大奖的提名，并同时在全球20个国家获得了金唱片、白金唱片和多白金唱片的佳绩。正当人们还沉醉在他温文尔雅的嗓音中，时隔两年之后，由 Mark Hill 再次操刀的第二章专辑问世了——《Slicker Than Your Average》。 这张专辑中Craig David以不同的音乐风格再次征服了R&B市场，名声大振的他开始受到世界流行音乐界的关注，得到了包括美国流行音乐重量级人物的肯定与赞赏。2003年他与Sting合唱的一首“Rise and Fall”被《时代》周刊评选为“年度最重量级音乐组合”。接下来的 Craig David 开始忙于世界各地的巡演，并取得真正意义上的成功。 而此时的Craig David似乎已经在我们的视线中消失了很久很久。在新人辈出的流行乐坛，沉寂了2年之久的他还能不能再次掀起R&B风潮呢？如果你听过他的最新单曲“All The Way”，那么答案就不言自明了。2005年8月，Craig David的最新专辑《All The Way》无疑又将为R&B音乐开创一片新的蓝天。 喜欢Craig David ，因为他曾经是一名电台DJ。喜欢Craig David，因为他那首红遍全球的“7 Days”，喜欢Craig David，也许有说不完的理由…… |

Title: Seven Days
On my way to see my friends
Who lived a couple blocks away from me, oh
As I walked through the subway
It must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
Stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it'd cost her her name
A six digit number
And a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
Cinnamon queen? Let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two
1 - Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
Nine was the time
Cuz I be gettin' mine
And she was looking fine
Smooth talker, she told me
She'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
From the front to back she flipped it
And I, oh, oh, I, yeah
Hope that she'd care
Cuz I'm a man who'll always be there
I'm not a man to play around baby
Cuz a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression girl, hmm, you don't seem to be like that
Cuz there's no need to chat, for there'll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
When you're feeling all alone
All you gotta do
Is just call me, call me
1 - Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
(Break it down, uh, break it down)
Since I met this special lady
Ooh yeah
I can't get her off my mind
She's one of a kind
And I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind of thing
With you, ohh
1 - Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
1 - Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
