Vienna 多好听的名字——她是陌生人，却散着不可阻挡的温暖。
之所以这个陌生人给我这么特殊的感觉也许是因为我们的眼睛有着同样的颜色。
Vienna Teng，中文名叫史逸欣，来自旧金山的华裔女歌手。毕业于斯坦福计算机科学系，做过两年软件工程师后，最后决定与一直热爱的音乐走下去。
有人问她如何定义自己的音乐风格，她说这是她最讨厌的问题。不过她还是给了回答，叫做“室内乡村乐”。乡村和流行的结合，和古典器乐的加入，给人一种小范围的感染。也许你说，我们有Tori Amos，有Sarah McLachlan，有Paul simon，有Don McLean,我们不需要Vienna了。错了。就像她唱的：
I need not to need
or else a love with intuition
someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow
总是会有人潜入到我们最柔软的地方。Vienna的音乐就是这样。
“每天我们与多少陌生人擦身而过，相逢是如此短暂，常常让我们误以为对方冷漠、疏离，写歌能让周围即便是陌生人也能感觉温暖。”这是她曾经说的话。而她温暖中透着聪颖的歌声就是最好的证明。
单曲试听
The Tower (Teng)- 3:50
the one who survives by making the lives
of others worthwhile
she's coming apart
right before my eyes
the one who depends on the services she renders
to those who come knocking
she's seeing too clearly what she can't be
what understanding defies
she says I need not to need
or else a love with intuition
someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow
she turns out the light anticipating night falling
tenderly around her
and watches the dusk
the words won't come
she carries the act so convincingly the fact is
sometimes she believes it
that she can be happy the way things are
be happy with the things she's done
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can change me
where is the one
the one
the one
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can save me
where is the one
the one
the one
