Question

owl city为什么要翻唱enchanted？

他们说是owl city喜欢taylor，真的？不是吧

Answer 1

是真的，Owl City承认了。Taylor的Enchanted就是写给他的，Owl City的真名叫做Adam Young，Taylor的enchanted的歌词本暗语拼起来就是A-D-A-M，Owl City录制这首歌时还改了歌词，最后一句话就是“And i just wish you knew taylor i was so in love with you”（我只是希望你知道Taylor我是那么地爱你）
据说两人是曾经见过一面，好像只是一面而已……但是就一见钟情了= =虽然有点童话色彩但是的确是真的

Owl City还给Taylor Swift写了一封信：
Dearest Taylor,

I'll be the first to admit i'm rather shy boy and since music is the most eloquent form of communication i can muster,i decided to record sth for u -- as sort of a "reply" to the breathtaking song on your current record.This is what i wanted so badly to tell you in person but could never quite put into words:

Everything about you is lovely.You're an immensely charming girl with a beautiful hear and more grace and elegance than i know how to describe.You are a true princess from a dreamy fairytale,and above all,i just want you to know...I WAS ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU TOO.

Love,

Adam.

“我该会是第一个承认自己比较害羞的男孩吧，因为音乐才是我可以拿得出手的最真实生动的方式。我决定为你录一些东西——就作为对你新专辑里那首令我激动万分的歌曲的回应吧。”他写道，“你就像是一个从梦幻般的童话故事里走出来的公主，最重要的，我只想让你知道，我也对你着了迷。”

Dear Taylor
On February 14th, 2011 by Adam Young
One blustery evening last October, I waited impatiently until the clock tolled midnight and then promptly bought Taylor Swift’s new record on iTunes. I played it in the kitchen, I played it in the car, I played it at the studio, I played it on flights to Japan and back; I just couldn’t keep away from it. Speak Now was the indisputable leader of my “top 5〃 record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works.

I always love decoding the sneaky secret messages hidden in Taylor’s written lyrics, so naturally the day Speak Now came out, I played the whole thing from top to bottom as I added up the capital letters per each song’s set of lyrics.

As track 8 came to a close and the album switched over to track 9 (a breathtaking song called Enchanted and one of my favorites on the entire record), something began to feel curiously “familiar.”

I couldn’t put my finger on it. Why did the song feel so personal? Why was it ringing a bell? Perhaps it was merely the word “wonderstruck” that indeed struck a sweet chord, but before the second chorus hit, I’d already added up the letters:

A-D-A

And then it hit me like a freight train. I didn’t even need to find that last letter “M.” A colorful swirl of memories flashed before my eyes as it all added up. My jaw hit the floor.

The track is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn’t stop smiling.

I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It’s no secret that I’m a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor. How does one respond to such a personal outpouring of emotion and sentiment? I tossed and turned over that one.

They say “timing is everything” and that brings us to now. Today is Valentine’s Day.

亲爱的Taylor

去年十月份的一个狂风大作的晚上，我耐心的等着时钟转过午夜，然后在iTunes上购买了Taylor Swift的新专辑。Speak Now是我2010年最喜欢的5张专辑中最喜欢的一张，这有一点奇怪，因为另外四张专辑是abstract experiment/post-rock/ambient works。（这应该是什么风格之类的吧…不会译…）
我一直喜欢解开Taylor歌词中隐藏的秘密信息，所以很自然地，当Speak Now面世的时候，我把所有的歌曲播放，从第一首到最后一首，将每一首歌歌词中的关键词放在一起。当第8首歌放完，专辑开始播放第9首（一首激动人心的歌——Enchanted，这也是整张专辑中我最喜欢的一首）时，一些东西让我觉得非常熟悉。
我无法用我的手指去触摸它，为什么这首歌的感觉这样亲近？为什么我的心中仿佛有铃声在响？或许这仅仅是想知道而又无法知道答案，而我确实是陷入了这甜蜜的旋律之中，但是在第二部分开始之前，我已经将这些字母放在了一起:
A-D-A
而后这些像一辆列车一样撞击着我，我甚至不需要再去寻找最后一个字母“M”。随着他们组合起来，一个明亮而绚丽的旋转着的记忆在我的眼前浮现出来。我无法合拢我的嘴。
这首歌非常令人陶醉，我对Taylor写了这样优美的一首歌给我感到兴奋且荣幸。不得不说，我已经找不到合适的词语来形容我对她的一见钟情。我无法停止微笑。
我知道这样的表示应当有一个礼貌真诚而尊重的回应。也许我可以激起一些勇气。
大家都知道我有一点害羞，所以音乐是最能表达清楚的一个途径。一个人要怎样将这样将及其私人的感情倾泻而出？我摇摆着，选择了这一种。
人们说，“时间就是一切”，并且它将我们带到这里。
今天，是情人节。
