来自澳大利亚墨尔本年仅21岁的Anthony Callea参加了2004年第二届澳洲偶像大赛(AUSTRALIAN IDOL).从4月份试音开始,他便受到了歌迷与裁判的一直好评,成为当年大赛的最大热门.尽管最后惜败于16岁的Casey Donovan,但我认为他从唱功到舞台表演能力都是众多参赛者中最为出色的.在获得亚军之后,ANTHONY 加入SONY BMG门下,他推出的第一首SINGLE -- THE PRAYER就成为澳洲音乐史上销量最高最快的单曲.
Rain
Anthony Callea
I remember when we met
Before I was invisible
I thought I'd play it hard to get
Pretend I was unapproachable
But somebody else came along and
Took all the chances that I missed
Stuck on the sidelines
I keep thinking there she goes
Falling like rain
No I don't get to hold her tonight
Falling like rain
I was oushed to the back of the line
Cos even though I need her love, and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain
Just not for me, not for me
Why I took the longest road
I'll have to plead insanity
It's like my pride put on a show
And didn't sell a single seat
While I was talking in riddles
Somebody else made perfect sense
Stuck on the outside
I keep thinking there she goes
Falling like rain
No I don't get to hold her tonight
Falling like rain
I was oushed to the back of the line
Cos even though I need her love, and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain
Just not for me, not for me
What do you do
What do you say
When the best thing has passed you by
Where do you go
How do you know
If she'll come back another time
She's falling like rain - falling like rain
She's falling like rain - oh, oh, oh
She's falling like rain - falling like rain
She's falling - she's falling
She's falling like rain
No I don't get to hold her tonight
Falling like rain
I was oushed to the back of the line
Cos even though I need her love, and crave her touch
I guess I wasn't fast enough
She's falling like rain
Just not for me, not for me
