这首《Mask of the Elder》 选自美国「Ben Tavera King & Eric Casillas 」1994年3月4日由「Talking Taco Music」发行的纯音乐专辑《Hunting Magic》(追寻魔法)。
作为Talking Taco唱片的创始人和经理,Ben Tavera King 还运营着公司旗下Iago品牌,而此两者是美国本土音乐和新世纪音乐领域两大主要CD 厂牌。 Ben Tavera King 的音乐背景(非常丰富),是主音吉他手、琵琶手、vinuela的演奏者。他周游各地演出、录制唱片,其早期的专辑 Desert Dreams, Coyote Moon 以及Turquoise Trail 获得了诸如 Time, Jazziz, CD Review等杂志的一致好评。此外,他还为 PBS包括Heritage系列以及 Mujeres con Sida 等节目作曲,其作品被公共广播电台,爵士乐、新世纪和其它音乐电台(电视台)广为播放。
许多人认为,为PBS制作的Los Mineros(The American Experience系列内容之一)充满激情的主题是King的最好专辑。编配丰富、赏心悦目,加上强度密集的段落,作品完美的融合了现代要素与传统的墨西哥音乐,而King的标志:尼龙线吉他、原始木琴、手风琴、合成器和口琴为专辑增色不少,乐谱发掘了浓厚的音乐情感深度,而这些在广播、电视节目制作过程中很难遇到。——by Philip Krumm
Ben Tavera King 和Eric Casillas 用他们的长笛、打击乐和拉丁吉他描绘了与拉丁美洲人完全不同视角的西南部美国。两人新发行的专辑Hunting Magic得到了点缀西南部的石雕的启发。这些石雕据说包含魔力并且能给人带来好运。 虽然作曲人并不承认(这样做)为了获得好运,但(我们不难看出专辑)在曲子的选择上魔力非凡。某些曲子引人神思,总的说来,专辑音乐朦胧缥缈,让人久久不能忘怀。(雅燃)

这首《MacLain Of Glencoe》选自2000年由「索尼BMG」发行的「凯尔特」音乐合辑《Celtic Spirits Vol 3》,演唱者为Moira Kerr,「莫拉.可儿」是英国非主音乐的首席女歌手,在苏格兰Glencoe散步时,看到了MacIain的墓, 这段歌词突然涌上心头,於是她就写下了这首歌,也写下了凯尔特人心中永远的痛,此歌还是英国金榜年度百大金曲之一。
背景:
历史回到1689年,英国国王詹姆士七世把国教改为天主教,引起非常大的反弹,被来自荷兰的侄子William of Orange夺去王位。The MacDonalds of Glencoe和The Campbells of Glenorchy是邻居也是世仇。The Campbells of Glenorchy因为支持William of Orange而得势,1692 年MacDonalds家族被迫表态臣服於新的政权,MacDonalds的首领MacLain在最後一刻不得已前往表示臣服,虽然期限已经超过,但仍然被接受,因此,当Campbell家族的军队来Glencoe驻扎时,MacDonalds家族不但没有怀疑他们的用心,还很热情地接待,没想到Campbell家族的军队竟然展开了一场大屠杀,MacIain一家人也惨死,这就是苏格兰历史上著名的格兰克大屠杀Massacre of Glencoe。
歌词:(Lyrics)
Yet still my lonely spirit soars... I am MacIain
The royal stag stands proudly on the hill
Falling prey to man his mortal foe
Some men know nought of dignity or pride
And strike with no respect their deadly blow.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.
The east is flanked by Buachaile Etive Mor
At south the highest Bidian is here
Of treachery no warning will they give
But from the Signal Rock betrayal sounded clear.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.
My restless soul will never sleep..I am MacIain, I am MacIain.
至今我孤独的灵魂仍在高飞...我是麦克伊恩
雄鹿骄傲地伫立在山岗
成为敌人的牺牲品
有人置尊严或自尊于不顾
恶意发动了致命的攻击
至今我孤独的灵魂仍在群山和幽谷中高飞
我来自祖先的公墓,我是麦克伊恩
在高地人的内心,麦克唐纳的名字依然回响
我不屈的灵魂永不会休息,我是麦克伊恩
西面被Buachaile Etive Mhor包围
南面的制高点被Bidian占据
他们不予警告就背叛我们
但发出的信号暴露了他们的意图确定无疑
至今我孤独的灵魂仍在群山和幽谷中高飞
我来自祖先的公墓,我是麦克伊恩
在高地人们的内心,麦克唐纳的名字依然回响
我不屈的灵魂永不会休息,我是麦克伊恩
至今我孤独的灵魂仍在群山和幽谷中高飞
我来自祖先的公墓,我是麦克伊恩
在高地人的内心,麦克唐纳的名字依然回响
我不屈的灵魂永不会休息,我是麦克伊恩,我是麦克伊恩

这首《Martha’s Harbour》选自2001年6月12日由「索尼BMG」发行的「凯尔特」音乐合辑《Celtic Spirits Vol 4》,较之「Meav」、「Frances Black」与「Ryan & Rachel O’Donnell」这几个版本,觉得这版本更为耐听。
歌词:(Lyrics)
I sit by the harbour
the sea calls to me
I hide in the water
but l need to breathe
You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
i am a galley slave my love
If only I would find out the way
To sail you...
Maybe I'll just stow away...
I've been run aground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe and sound
But needed the danger
You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
i am a galley slave my love
If only I would find out the way
To sail you...
Maybe I'll just stow away...
You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
i am a galley slave my love
If only I would find out the way
To sail you...
Maybe I'll just stow away...
Stow away....
Stow away

这首《I'd Rather Dance With You》选自挪威新民谣二重唱乐团「Kings of Convenience」(便利之王)2004年7月27日发行的专辑《Riot On An Empty Street》(沉溺在空旷大街)。
夏日,和风,阳光……
歌词(Lyrics):
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book in years
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
(Getting to the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

这首《Melt Me Into Honey》选自2007年10月发行的独立合辑《蜂蜜与白色樱草》,一群独立音乐人用他们的歌曲讲述了一个美好的童话故事。《Melt Me Into Honey》是「Toheal乐队」作品,主唱为「钱鹍」。
歌词(Lyrics)
I drifted away for another fairy tale
I was warmed, I was cooled, I was frozen in tears
No, don't be sad. I was doomed to be a broken angel
Look into your eyes and I find me dreaming there
And I want to know when did you put me inside
I am surprised I am surprised
Allow me to hold your smile
Friends said I am not what I used to be
Another said that I hurt myself
Things are changing but nothing really changes
If memories hurt let's throw them away
I know I never be perfect for myself
But I wish I could be perfect for only you
I know I never be perfect for myself
But I wish I could be perfect for only you
Let me be your candy
Melt me into honey
Let me be your candy
Melt me into honey
