French Band Air (图)

Since my own computer has broken down, : (((  I couldn’t access to the original Chinese file I have done earlier, and also due to I don’t have much time, I have borrowed the following information from the mighty internet (copy and paste lol). Any way, hope you will like the band and their music. : )))

Air was formed in 1995 after Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel left a previous band, Orange. Air's style varies so dramatically that no real genre can explain their sound.

Although Air's music is often referred to as electronica, their form of electronic music really owes more to the synthesizer sounds of the 1970s; other influences are psychedelic rock pioneers Pink Floyd and Krautrockers, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Jacques Perrey (although there are some echoes of dance music styles in the production), and French crooner Serge Gainsbourg. Air's music also has jazz inflections at times.

Their music has also frequently been used in commercials. "Surfing on a Rocket" is the background music for the Nissan Armada commercial (2004). "Playground Love" was used in a Levi’s jeans commercial (2002). "La Femme d'Argent" is played in the background on Dublin's FM104 Adrian Kennedy phone show. "Alpha Beta Gaga" was used in the "Orange" network advert (the try commercial) 2004.

If you've got the time and would like to listen to few songs from the album 'Talkie Walkie',can click on the ‘play’ sign to listen.

Thanks :)))

Run

Holy girl

Don't get up

For running

Stay with me

I feel sad

When you run

Sands of time

Are lying

On my chest

Stay in bed

I feel sad

When you run

Stay like this

On the hills

Of my chest

Don't wake up

I feel strange

When you go

Stop the night

Hold me tight

Holy girl

Don't stand up

I feel strange

When you go

Universal Traveller

I know so many places in the world

I follow the sun in my silver plane

Universal traveler

If you have a look

Outside on the sea

Everything is white

It's so wonderful

Universal traveler

So far, so far

So far away

I met so many

People in my life

I've got many friends

Who can care for me

Universal traveler

Just feel everywhere at home

Tomorrow

Is a brand new day

Let's go somewhere else

Universal Traveler

So far, so far

So far away

Venus

You could be from Venus

I could be from Mars

We would be together

Lovers forever

Care for each other

You could live in the sea

And I could be a bird

We would be together

Lovers forever

Care for each other

If you wear an illusion

I will make it real

We would be together

Lovers forever

Care for each other

If you walk in the sun

I will be your shadow

We would be together

Lovers forever

Care for each other

Surfin' On A Rocket

Time for flying rockets

For silver jets

For surfing bombs

Surfing on a rocket

Don't pray to go

Please take my hand

Don't get me down

Surfing on a rocket

I'll be back one day

Just pray for me

I'm on my way

Surfing on a rocket

5 4 3 2 1 0

No one can stop me to go

You'll never see me again
