这个夏天怎么能错过了Ally Kerr呢?

《Off The Radar》是Ally Kerr的第2张专辑，
Ally Kerr在第一张专辑《Calling Out to You》
为热门动漫〈虫师〉录制了一首《The Sore Feet Song》，
就因为这一首歌，Ally Kerr在整个东亚地区受到广泛的关注，
特别是在日本。2008年上旬，Ally Kerr延续第一张专辑的
清新风格发行了单曲《There's A World》，

随后发布新专辑《Off The Radar》。Ally Kerr
一直以来都是以清新吉他风格为主，并伴随着钢琴点缀，
没有太多的乐器，也没有多变的节奏，自然，甘甜，
纯正地像夏日的雏菊，淡雅，淳朴，清香。
Ally Kerr的声线温柔的就像薄沙，柔美间
又毫不失起本质的坚韧，悠扬和纯美是最直接的感触，
而用时间去细细品位，漫漫浮现出的更多是一丝惘然
和淡淡的忧伤。动静间展示出更多的生趣，灵动间
更多的是细腻的感情，难怪在苏格兰，
人们将他称之为"最富生趣和最创造性的音乐家"。

Overall Meaning

Off the Radar is a soulful and poignant song by Ally Kerr that speaks about being lost and forgotten, and the desire to find one's place in the world. The lyrics suggest a feeling of detachment from society and the common struggles of life, as the singer sings of living "off the radar" and hidden from view. The song brings to light the emotional pain and loneliness that one can feel when they cannot find their place in the world, and the need to be recognized and seen by others.

The melancholic tone of the song is heightened by the gentle strumming of the guitar and plaintive notes of the piano, creating a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the song is over. The lyrics are simple yet evocative, and Kerr's soothing voice adds a layer of emotional depth to the words. Off the Radar is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and searching for a sense of belonging, making it a timeless and relatable piece of music.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm off the radar and I don't know why
I feel disconnected and don't understand why

I feel like I'm drifting on an open sea
I feel lost and aimless

And I can't find my way back no matter how I try
I'm unable to return to where I used to be, no matter how hard I try

I'm off the radar and it's clear to see
I am unnoticed or invisible and it's obvious

That nobody knows me like I know me
No one understands me the way I understand myself

I need a way out of this stormy sea
I need to find a solution to this difficult situation

But I'm off the radar and I'm lost at sea
But I'm still unnoticed or invisible and I'm still lost and aimless

And nobody knows me like I know me
And still, no one understands me the way I understand myself
