It makes perfect sense that an anonymous online music fan has best described what rocker Chris Daughtry's Phoenix-like ascension means to the ever-evolving rock n' roll canon. It's his intensity - notes the insightful blogger - a balm for an ailing industry, writing that Daughtry in a recording studio is akin 'to putting a beat-up violin in the hands of a master.' A 'pure' and 'soulful' balm, with even professional scribes concurring that 'Daughtry dominates,' according to USA Today. 'Homeboy loves to rock' crows Rolling Stone - but if the phenomenal impact and enduring legacy of the double-platinum-and-counting debut of Daughtry means anything - it's how enthusiastically the wandering music listener has embraced rock's new standard bearer.

Use any measurement you like - in an era of digitized, customized-shuffling music = wallpaper styling's, Daughtry has almost single-handedly given the genre back its heart, resurrecting an endangered species via the bluesy swagger of What I Want,and the image-shredding angst of Feels Like Tonight; restoring its nomadic longing for place on Home, its righteous indignation on It's Not Over. With signature ache and poise, the North Carolina native blends each hard-won attribute into a rousing mosaic for the ages. The DAUGHTRY album is also forging unprecedented sales and chart breakthroughs - affirming there is still gold to be mined, thank God, with a rugged voice and passionate songwriting instincts.

Chris daughtry　

Tom Petty once said such a primal connection between a musician on top of his game and his fans can be so strong 'you can actually hurt yourself up there and not know it.' But the kind of 'hurt' Daughtry has put on a famished music landscape is nothing short of astonishing: In just a few months of release, the celebrated disc has leaped more milestones faster and further than any rock debut in recent memory. Anointed as the quickest selling rock debut in Soundscan history, DAUGHTRY became the #1 top selling album in the country not once, but twice, after debuting at #2 in November, 2006, moving upwards of 300,000 copies in the first week alone.

Emboldened by a collection of arena-tempered anthems and hand-crafted gems, Chris formed a band around the foundry of songs that make up DAUGHTRY before any of the accolades rolled in - hitting the road almost on instinct - eager to share his hardscrabble journey - his emotional diary of sorts - with who else but his fans. Secure enough to become a passenger on such a revelatory train ride - You walk through a lot of doors for a moment like this,he says I'm enjoying every minute,- he has personified the heart and soul of this elusive rock allegory without sacrificing one combustible ion of his authenticity. A trait that has always been his calling card whether writing, singing, performing or bonding with his newly minted band with whom he also shares his success.

Scanning well over a million individual tracks digitally since DAUGHTRY's debut, Chris always knew the secret of his connection with his fans was widening the circle surrounding his music no matter what medium of transfer. Whether he was interpreting other artists material or his own, his razor-sharp instincts told him the right band could take such a bond to even greater heights. I'm a tough music fan myself. I'm not swayed easily, but one of the things I've always loved about great bands is you feed off of each other's confidence, build on each other's strengths and create an opportunity for something magical to happen every time you go out there,he notes. Daughtry is living proof of that edict, garnering rave reviews on the road, locking down what quickly became 2007's must-see show: 'Daughtry clearly connects with the audience and it would seem to be only the beginning�' raved the San Francisco Chronicle.

What a beginning: The double-platinum juggernaut that is Daughtry has hovered in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 Albums since its release, the first album since the 2006 phenomenon High School Musical soundtrack to log more than 9 weeks among the Top 3 albums, and the first rock band to achieve such a streak in the first 15 weeks of release since Creed in 2002. Daughtry is also the first rock band release in nearly 20 years - since Bon Jovi's 1988 classic New Jersey - to hit the top spot after debuting below #1.

Such flirtations with history are even more amazing when you consider how seamlessly Daughtry has engrained itself in the digital domain, pulling in over one million page views per week to their artist site www.daughtryoffical.com, with their album remaining a Top 10 staple on iTunes since its release. The debut single It's Not Over,has conquered every digital, mobile, radio and video platform imaginable, parking at or near the top of every major music industry metric including #1s on the Adult Top 40 chart, on the Hot AC chart, the Billboard Top Singles chart. The video reigned at the top of VH1's enormously popular Top 20 Countdown show for two months running, as well as garnering most played status on MTV.

The way it all has unfolded is everything an artist could ever ask for,says Chris. An understatement when you consider the challenges he laid down for himself before approaching the debut effort. I knew going in that the album, the band, all of it had to start from my own vision. I've always known who I am and what kind of sound I wanted to get across, yet I never wanted to dictate any sort of path.

　OVER YOU



Now that it's all said and done,
现在当这一切都已经结束,
I can't believe you were the one
我真不敢相信你是那么一个人，
To build me up and tear me down,
建立我的信赖后再摧毁掉它，
Like an old abandoned house.
就当它是一栋遗弃的旧建筑一样。
What you said when you left
你离开时说的那些话
Just left me cold and out of breath.
让我感到那么冰冷,失望,无法呼吸。
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
我坠得太深,陷入得太深
Guess I let you get the best of me.
我想,是我让你利用了我。

Well, I never saw it coming.
好吧,我从未预见到会如此结束。
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
不然我很长时间以前就早应该开始从你身边逃离
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
而且我从未想过要怀疑你
I'm better off without you
没有你我才过得更好
More than you, more than you know.
会比你能想到的,想到的更好。
I'm slowly getting closure.
我终于慢慢的愈合了
I guess it's really over.
我猜这终于结束了
I'm finally getting better.
我终于开始痊愈了。

And now I'm picking up the pieces.
现在,我终于开始捡起那些碎片。
I'm spending all of these years
这些年我都一直试图
Putting my heart back together.
将我的心重新拼完整。
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
因为我还以为我永远也不会熬到这一天,
I got over you.
但我终于忘记你了。
You took a hammer to these walls,
你用一把铁锤摧毁了那些围墙,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
将那些回忆都的拖出了走廊,

Packed your bags and walked away.
收拾了你的箱子,离我而去。
There was nothing I could say.
我无话可说。
And when you slammed the front door shut,
而当你将前门用力关上时,
A lot of others opened up,
很多其他的东西对我敞开了大门,
So did my eyes so I could see
就像是我的眼睛,我终于能看到
That you never were the best for me.
你从不是对我最好选择。
Well, I never saw it coming.
好吧,我从未预见到会如此结束。
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
不然我很长时间以前就早应该开始从你身边逃离

And I never thought I'd doubt you,
而且我从未想过要怀疑你
I'm better off without you
没有你我才过得更好
More than you, more than you know.
会比你能想到的,想到的更好。
I'm slowly getting closure.
我终于慢慢的愈合了
I guess it's really over.
我猜这终于结束了
I'm finally getting better.
我终于开始痊愈了。
