紀念我的2005－2007

这位1981年5月5日出生于英国Southampton的年轻小伙子，自小于PCRS 106.5FM电台担任DJ并于Club播放歌曲，直至遇上了Artful Dodger之中的Mark Hill后改变了他一生的命运。在名制作人Mark Hill的制作与护航下，首张专辑『Born To Do It』中首支单曲Fill Me In于2000年3月，成功的夺下英国金榜冠军，顺势推出的第二支单曲7 Days也顺利的登上英国单曲榜冠军宝座。专辑于2000年夏天同时夺下英国专辑榜冠军，推出至今已缔造全球5百万张销量与全球7个国家的冠军宝座。

　　在『Born To Do It』专辑中，Craig David融合2-Step/UK Garage?AR&B、拉丁、摇滚、爵士等多样音乐元素，以其充满磁性、性感诱人的嗓音征服全球乐迷。无怪乎英国流行乐坛龙头老大Elton John更大胆诙谐的以『如果在英国有比Craig David更好的歌手的话，那么我就是英国首相撒切尔夫人』来赞誉这位未来英国流行乐坛炙手可热的天皇接班人。

下面是Rise and fall的MV, Craig和Sting合作的经典.

Craig David - Rise And Fall
(feat. Sting)

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall

I always said that I was gonna make it,
Now it's plain for everyone to see,
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,
Just casualties,
I know that everything is gonna change,
Even the friends I knew before me go,
But this dream is the life I've been searching for,
Started believing that I was the greatest,
My life was never gonna be the same,
Cause with the money came a different status,
That's when things change,
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
I'm beginning to lose my integrity
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall

I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I don't even wanna please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
And less demands,
Given advice that was clearly wrong,
The type that seems to make me feel so right,
But some things you may find can take over your life,
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,
And there's nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in comprimising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didn't walk away,
When I knew that it was best to go,
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall

Now I know,
I made mistakes,
Think I don't care,
But you don't realise what this means to me,
So let me have,
Just one more chance,
I'm not the man I used to be,
Used to beeeeeeeeeee
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It's what they call,
The rise and fall
