Time Of My Life - Toploader

歌词：

Sitting in the summer sun
Binding my time
Waiting for the demons to go away
No one knows when they come
Or when they're gonna go away
Aslong as they do were ok, yes were alright

Cos I had the time of my life
Show me some love tonight
You know I'll treat you right
Cos I had the time of my life

Woke up in the morning rain
God knows were I slept again
No recollection of the night
Oh God what's this I see lying next to me
With a smile on your face
Were alright, yes were alright

Cos I had the time of my life
Show me some love tonight
You know I'll treat you right
Cos I had the time of my life
ooh yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah were alright, yeah
Yes were alright

Cos I had the time of my life
Show me some love tonight
You know I'll treat you right
Cos I had the time of my life
Cos I had the time of my life
Show me some love tonight
You know I'll treat you right
Cos I had the time of my life

I had the time
I had the time
I had the time
I had the time
I had the time of my life
I had the time
I had the time
I had the time
I had the time
I had the time of my life



来自英格兰的Toploader成员分別是Joseph (Keyboards / Vocal)、Dan (Rhythm Guitar)、Matt (Bass)、Rob(Drums)，四个人是演唱会的常客，常常在Pub里不期而遇，在一次Live Show大伙情绪High到最高点，有人登高一呼提议组团，就这样Toploader一脚走进英国音乐圈里，开始在以前常混的各大Pub表演，谁也没想到竟然很快受到唱片公司的关爱，先是签至Sony旗下紧接着进录音室录制专辑。 　　

在正式发行首张专辑"Onka’a Big Moka"之前，Toploader上路展开为期一年的巡迴演出，与Noel Gallagher、Travis、Stereophonics、Catatonia等同台演出，并参与重大音乐节包括Glastonbury、Reading、Eclipse等，表现出他们与日茁壮的音乐生命。乐队主唱及核心Joseph声音酷似Simply Red的Mick Hucknall，略带沙哑的磁性嗓音吟唱出满怀的人文思绪，流畅乐音结合摇滚曲调以及白人灵魂乐的丰沛內涵，令传媒一致认为：以吉他与钢琴挑起人心深层悸动。专辑发行首周即拿下专辑榜Top5名次，首支单曲「Dancing In The Moonlight」，给予人深刻的欢愉跃动，带领听者感受月光的神祕力量，荣登英国金榜Top19；第二支單曲「Achilles Heel」在纤细悠扬的弦乐配置下，宛如走进电影配乐的情境久久不能平复內心的激情不已，获得排行Top8肯定并且入选NME "Single Of The Week"。

深受Rolling Stones与早期Elton John等摇滚前辈、Stevie Wonder和Bee Gees等放克灵魂宗师交相影响，混合成复古而丰富的招牌声响，也让他们备受好评。只是当他们准备再度出击时，“困难的第二张专辑”之诅咒也随之而来，甚至有多家媒体因为吉他手Dan Hipgrave与名…………（转贴）
