一早起来，坐在电脑前习惯的打开千千静听，正好在放Gareth Gates的Anyone Of Us。突然想写点关于这个帅气的英国小伙的东西。

最初知道这个歌手是在大概1年半之前，可以说有些阴差阳错，当时我正在找杜德伟和萧亚轩早年作雪碧广告的广告歌。那首广告歌是翻唱一首英文歌曲，几经周折知道了那首英文原曲叫Nothing‘s gonna stop us now。于是在网上搜到了这个名字的歌，下载下来听过发现不是我要的那首，但是这首歌也非常不错，听过几遍感觉很有味道，但是歌手我却不知道是谁。后来打听了一下知道是Gareth Gates的歌。正巧当时去西南八楼下面买简装cd，发现了他的第二张专辑，就买下来听听。很快里面的歌的就感染了我，比如说Say it isn't so，Too soon to say goodbye，Lies等等。

时间大概过了半年，我这个很少去物美超市的人突然不知哪里来的兴趣跑到物美逛了一圈，在音像架发现了他的正版cd正在促销，于是毫不犹豫的买下了他出道来发行的两张专辑。cd制作的非常精致，看过里面附带的歌手介绍，不觉间对这个新人多了些崇敬。Gareth Gates本来是个口吃，但他并未就此自卑，虽然说话吃力，但他非常喜欢音乐，很喜欢唱歌，由于自己的爱好和努力，他不但克服了口吃而且获得了2002年英国选秀节目pop Idol比赛的亚军，从此走上歌唱事业。

历来从逆境中走出的人都很让我敬佩，这当然包括这位英国小伙。他的这些歌里我最喜欢还要算正在听的Anyone of us，我无法用语言来表述这首歌让我喜欢的原因，曲调还有歌词能够打动我需要的是感觉，我只有自己尽情享受这首歌了。附这首歌的歌词在下面。

 

anyone of us - gareth gates

i've been letting you down, down
girl i know i've been such a fool
giving into temptation
i should have played it cool
the situation got out of hand
i hope you understand

it can happen to anyone of us
anyone you think of
anyone can fall
anyone can hurt someone they love
hearts will break
cos i made a stupid mistake

 

it can happen to anyone of us
say you will forgive me
anyone can fail
say you will believe me
i can't escape
my heart will break
cause i made a stupid mistake
a stupid mistake

she was kind of exciting
a little crazy
i should have known
she must have altered my senses
as i offered to walk her home

 

it can happen to anyone of us
anyone you think of
anyone can fall
anyone can hurt someone they love
hearts will break
cos i made a stupid mistake

 

it can happen to anyone of us
say you will forgive me
anyone can fail
say you will believe me
i can't escape
my heart will break
cause i made a stupid mistake

she means nothing to me
nothing to me
i swear every word is true
i don't wanna lose you
