[marit]Stylus杂志上MARIT的采访 most Americans have probably heard Marit Larsen’s voice before. She was one-half of the teenage pop duo M2M, whose “Don’t Say You Love Me” was a minor-hit stateside (helped, no doubt, by its inclusion on the Pokemon: The First Movie soundtrack). After the break-up, and years out of the spotlight, Larsen emerged with 2006’s stunning Under the Surface, a record that received both overwhelming critical acclaim and massive sales in her native country and throughout Western Europe. Far from flirtatious teenage love songs and digitally enhanced bubblegum, Larsen has a knack, thanks to her pixie-ish range somewhere between Gillian Welch and Bjork, for crafting saccharine sweet melodies. Under the Surface boils over with rich and sophisticated pop music; a cohesive document spotted with country accents as on the banjo led “Only a Fool” and soaring piano hooks, found on her biggest hit, “Don’t Save Me,” that could translate in any corner of the world. Stylus caught up with Larsen at the South By Southwest Festival to talk to her about Under the Surface, its possible release in the States, and the next album. First of all, why are you here playing South By Southwest? Basically, I’m looking for a label. My record is a really weird pop album and I’m hoping to find someone here that is enthusiastic about my music and doesn’t have enormous ambitions sales-wise. I just want it to be available. Not to bring up M2M that much, but I wanted to talk about the period where M2M broke up and you decided to become a solo artist. Were you always writing your own songs? I was always writing my own songs. I started writing when I was thirteen, and I’ve always been writing my own songs just for myself. It’s my way of getting things out of my system. I just never had the courage to share the ones that I wrote all by myself. So M2M was mostly… We co-wrote all of that, but when you have two names on a song you can never tell who owns the story. You and Marion? Yes, so we co-wrote them, and we wrote with a lot of different people. I mean, we traveled the world for two years and wrote with like 50 different co-writers. It was a good learning experience, but I learned mostly what I don’t want, which is important as well. Do you find yourself regretting your time in M2M at all? No, not at all. I play a country version of “Don’t Say You Love Me” but that’s basically it, and that’s a song that I’ve always held close to my heart. But even then, I’ve always had my own songs, and some of the songs on Under the Surface, like “Solid Ground” I started writing when I was 14. You were talking about what you didn’t want to do as a solo artist, what did you learn the most from being in M2M that has carried over to now? I think the most important thing I learned is that when you’re standing on that stage and you’re so alone and so naked, it doesn’t matter that the producer was so stubborn or the record company wanted it to be this way or that way, because all the audience sees is you. They’re going think that it’s your opinion, your choices in melodies, and if it sucks it sucks. People won’t buy it.

【marit】marit新专辑的歌词 1. In Came The LightIn came the light,it swallowed me wholemelted the tracks in the snowto leave room for the newto leave room for the newIn came the lightand we started to glow 2. Under the Surface It抯 such a funny sensation to be so happy that you wanna diePromises always were crazy to meBut never was I so surprised Minutes are longer when we are apartYour presence抯 more than I can handleIt抯 come to the point where I wonder if I could ever be luckier When suddenly I抦 back at the coreThinking of her who had you beforeWere you as goodAs good as we areDo you remember?Did you love her the way you love me?Is there a chance that there might betraces of her that you carry under the surface? Lend me your ears, I would like to confess I抦 doubting that you could be realBy your side wearing a beautiful dressI celebrate how good it feels Say that you love me, say that it抯 trueI know that I want to believe youBut somehow silence speaks louder than wordsI抦 worried she抯 still on your mind Suddenly I抦 back at the coreThinking of her who had you beforeWere you as goodAs good as we areDo you remember?Did you love her the way you love me?Is there a chance that there might betraces of her that you carry under the surface? Mmm I know that I抦 selfishI know that it抯 badI know, but it抯 driving me madIt抯 driving me mad Suddenly I抦 back at the coreThinking of her who had you beforeWere you as goodAs good as we areDo you remember?Did you love her the way you love me?Is there a chance that there might betraces of her that you carry under the surface?under the surfaceunder the surface 3. Don't Save Me You say, we must move forwardAnd I say, let's not go backOnce we were brave explorersBut this trail is a worn-out trackDon't chase that setting sunLook what we've become Don't save me, I'll save you the hassleOur little castle is a house of cardsIt's empty, heartache is pendingThis is us ending You say, you were just kiddingAnd I say, this is no jokeWe've grown and we're not fittingWe've flamed out to a wisp of smokeDon't turn the truth aroundIt reads the same way upside-down Don't save me, I'll save you the hassleOur little castle is a house of cardsIt's empty, heartache is pendingThis is us endingSo don't save meDon't you dare Little by little, sneaking uponTill it's too much to ignoreLet's leave in the middle, before it dead endsI've been down this roadDon't you dare leave me hereI'll go looking elsewhere! Don't save me, I'll save you the hassleOur little castle is a house of cardsIt's empty, heartache is pendingThis is us endingSo don't save meDon't you dare 4. Only a fool So you say I need to consider thisYours were the face that I couldn抰 resistYours was the fuel to the flames in my heart
关于[marit]Don’t save me的消息 Posted on 6/1/2006 by TalkieToaster. OMG, it's Marit!Follow these directions to hear Marit Larsen's debut single, 'Don't Save Me' in Norwegian radio station P3's archives;Go HERE.Click on Nettradio on the menu to the left. This will bring up a pop-up window.Click on P3morgenIn the new list of links, click on 05.01 (08:32 - 09:00)Enjoy! (Unless you think she sucks. In that case, well, I can't make you enjoy. I enjoyed it though.)Also, here's another single review, this one from Lørenskog newspaper Romerikes Blad. Once again, thanks go to Halvard for the translation;Marit Larsen - ‘Don’t save me’ (single, Propeller Recordings/EMI) Here she is, Marit Elisabeth Larsen from Sørlie Terrasse in Lørenskog The first taste of her upcoming album sparkles with fun, good melody lines and energy. In addition, the chorus is just right. Radio stations can all make space for it right away. On Tuesday the single will be in the stores. The album ‘Under the surface’ is released on the 6th of March. If the rest of the songs are of the same calibre as this, 2006 might be Marit Larsens year. ‘Don’t save me’ is more than yet another catchy song with a youthful freshness. The opening immediately brings associations to ABBA; simple, tasty chords that grab a hold of you. There is magic in the art of switching between the major and the 7th, as it’s done here. If you are to create a hit, there has to happen something in the first two or tree seconds. Bjørn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (of ABBA fame) knew what they were doing when they wrote the intro to ‘Waterloo’. And yes, it sounds like they have been involved on this production too. They have not. The song is produced by Marit herself in cooperation with Kåre Vestrheim and Mike Hartung, the gentlemen behind the great sound of Odd Nordstogas ‘Luring’-album. The final result is an airy and at the same times focused soundscape and lovely instrumentation with keys, guitar, harmonica and clapping of hands. Vocally, Marit Larsen has some of the recklessness and rustic of Alanis Morissette about her, but she also has some of her young girl charm intact. After the split of M2M in the summer of 2002, Marit has mostly been away from the public scene. Meanwhile she has been working on an album , and the expectations have been high. On the cd-cover she is pictured, for some reason, as a Lolita with cast down eyes. That is not necessary. ‘Don’t save me’ promises well for the little queen of Sørlie Terrasse. - Michael
