4th of July

這首歌是由美國年輕女歌手Joanna演唱的一首歌曲。

verse 1:

every little kiss i tend to hold

precious in my heart you’ve turned to gold

love’s not the word to explain

just how i feel

it seemed like a dream but i’m wide-awake

and like the earth inside it made me shake

like a summer fairytale, but it was real

b-section:

you set off a brand new kind of spark inside of me

and i wouldn’t leave your lips even to breathe

chorus:

the first time i saw you, you were lighting up the sky

like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of july

i won’t forget and i don’t regret

losing myself deep inside of your eyes

that night i’ll remember for the rest of my life

verse 2:

i cherish all the moments that we spent

i only wish it never had to end

i can take a journey in my mind to yesterday

i’ll use the moon and stars to guide me there

a place so far away but yet so near

just to hold you one more time, i’d be ok

b-section:

you set off a brand new kind of spark inside of me

and i wouldn’t leave your lips even to breathe

chorus:

the first time i saw you, you were lighting up the sky

like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of july

i won’t forget and i don’t regret

losing myself deep inside of your eyes

that night i’ll remember for the rest of my life

bridge:

i feel i left my world, my life, my breath behind

but i know the sun will shine on through

cause i know that again i’ll see you

this can’t be goodbye

we’ll meet again on the 4th of july

chorus:

the first time i saw you, you were lighting up the sky

like bright flashing fireworks on the 4th of july

i won’t forget and i don’t regret

losing myself deep inside of your eyes

that night i’ll remember for the rest of my life

Joanna1984年10月6日生於Philadelphia, Pennsylvania。很小的時候就在父親的理髮店為顧客唱歌，用掙得的小費去雜貨店買些糖果。充滿天賦的Joanna很快參加了當地電視台舉辦的選秀活動。在國家週年紀念巡迴演出裏，Joanna參與了106場演出，但不幸的是她患上了支氣管炎，不能繼續演出。從那開始使joanna變得更加堅強，也開始讓她在音樂的道路決定繼續走下去。幸運是16歲的joanna被曾捧紅Christina Aguilera和許多歌星的著名音樂人Ron Fair看上，joanna過人的才能被Ron Fair所認同並立即簽了和約，那時的joanna才16歲。現年21歲的她發行了自己的新專集《This Crazy Life》，靈感來自親身的體會。這是一站很獨立自主的專集，首支單曲"Let It Slide," 頗有頌歌的韻味，另為一首佳作"Miracle,"走的是民謠路線，藴涵了很多情感在其中，同時也不往加入時下最流行的搖滾曲風的“Tip Toe”，當紅製作人linda pery還為她創作了"Miracle,"可見joanna的人氣，值得一提的是，"4th of July"，這首歌是joanna16歲時創作的，年紀輕輕就可以有如此的音樂天賦實在不多見。專集中一首"Just When You're Leaving"描寫的是悲傷的romantic，總之這是一張很多元化作品，還附有joanna充滿激情力量的嗓音，相信一定不會讓大家失望。

Joanna，一個非常有潛力的美國年輕歌手，終於在2006年8月15日發行了最值得期待的專輯《This Crazy Life》，她的歌動感之極，特別是這首“Just When You're Leaving”，讓人蠢蠢欲動想跟着唱，這種感覺太美妙了！
