女歌手Edie像是Susan Vaga與Don Mclean的合體
歌聲帶有靈性而女性的氣息
與新波西米亞人合作創作出簡單雋永的民謠曲風
Eddie同時也喜歡插畫 這張專輯裡就充滿了她有趣而奇特的塗鴉
專輯封面也是她的創作
星空 像太陽的月亮 還有坐在射橡皮筋旁橘貓咪
大家比較熟知的 應該是一首聰靈又具哲學味道的
What I am
我就是我
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
我不懂太多事 但我明白我所識
如果你聽得懂我的話
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
哲學 是穀箱上的談話
宗教 在小狗的微笑裡
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
我不懂太多事 但我明白我所識
如果你聽得懂我的話
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
在淺水灘上把我掐死吧
免得我陷得太深
What I am is what I am is what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am is what you are, or what?
我就是我一如你就是你 不然你是想怎樣?
Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
哲學 如履滑石之上
宗教 是迷霧中的光芒
What I am is what I am is what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am is what you are, or what?
我就是我一如你就是你 不然你是想怎樣?

我更喜愛的是這一首
Circle
圈子
Me, I am part of your circle of friends
And We, notice you don't come around
We, I think it all depends on
You, touching ground with us
我,我是你朋友圈子裡的一份子
我們,發現你不再進這個圈子裡了
我們之間,我想這全維繫於你的來去
But, I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems end
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems end
然後我還是退出了 我放棄
沒有十全十美的局面
一切看來已經結束
And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye
而孤獨正是最完美的方式
就讓我獨處 正是最完美的方式
當我一個人 正是最完美的方式
孑然的世界 沒有人能向我道別
Everything is temperory, anyway
一切都是短暫的, 反正
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky
But I don't know that means you and I are
That means you and
當街道潮溼 色彩滑向天際
我卻不明白其中對你我的意義 而我...
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems end
我退出 我放棄
沒有十全十美的局面
一切看來已經結束

17歲時愛上的歌曲
MTV是Eddie驕傲地唱這首受傷的歌
年輕的傷痕與年長的傷痕其實並沒有什麼兩樣
抉擇也都一樣
我也是決然地離開了好多個圈子
也被漠然地被丟在圓心裡 我們以及其他人 未必明白其中的意義
反正 一切都是短暫的
