最近除了David Gates,James Blunt和Robbie Williams外(看來我的tast真的很廣),
Daniel Powter的Bad Day也是最愛之一.單曲Bad Day 在2004年已經發行,
Daniel Powter的同名專輯也在2005年秋天上市.
在華納線上音樂雜誌所寫的樂評中形容,"在Daniel Powter的創作空間裡，
歌詞、旋律與嗓音有著一種奇特的呼應與對比，
他筆下所寫的歌詞大都以日常生活中的所見所聞為主，
不過，要是社會上藏污納垢的現象被他察覺，他也會寫成歌詞，
而他那帶點顫動，同時還夾帶著冷潮熱諷與有點被惹惱的假聲唱法則是用來呼應歌詞中
所蘊藏的不順遂、不舒服、不悅的情緒，但是，他所譜寫的旋律，
感覺上卻相當輕盈、平滑、俐落有致，甚至帶有幾分積極的意味，
聽起來跟他在歌詞寫作與歌聲唱法上所浮現出來的性格有著相當大的對比，
他這種用美好的旋律掩護著不怎麼美好的情緒的歌詞與唱法的表現方式，
確實為當代的流行樂注入了不一樣的聽覺感受。
舉他在2005年夏天登上英國金榜亞軍的單曲"Bad Day"為例，
這首歌在旋律的律動性與流暢感上顯得十分迷人，
但是，這卻是一首道盡現代人面對生活壓力的心聲的歌曲，
都會人急欲掙脫鬱悶感受找回生活中的激情的情緒全在歌詞與歌聲裡表露無疑."
Bad Day
Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
