“Every one thinks that I have it all.
But it’s so empty living behind these castle walls,
These castle walls.
If I should tumple, if I should fall,
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls?
There’s no one here at all, behind these castle walls…”
靜謐的氛圍之下，Christina空靈的嗓音幽幽地唱道…第一次聽見這首歌時，我的心真的揪了一下…
T.I.最新專輯“No Mercy”的最新主打“Castle Walls”，不僅找來全美冠軍曲“Love The Way You Lie”的新銳製作Alex Da Kid扛轎，更請來Christina Aguilera跨刀獻聲，重振聲勢的企圖不言而喻，只是比起Eminem + Rihanna (“Love The Way You Lie”)，或是更之前的Jay-Z + Alicia Keys (“Empire State of Mind”)，T.I. + Christina其實算不上是Double Ace的組合，一個是踉蹌入獄的rapper，一個則是新專輯不賣的失婚Diva，感覺起來更像是惺惺相惜的組合…
Christina難得收起了狂放的唱腔，抑鬱地唱著似乎影射真實生活的歌詞，聽見一向bitchy的她赤裸裸地自白，我想應該是這首歌最感人的地方吧…
