They
Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
And it's ironic too
Coz what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly
know all this
Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly
know all this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss
Who are they
And where are they
And how do they
know all this
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they
know all this
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
就像打开了潘朵拉的魔法盒，流泄出来的歌声，交织着神秘、优雅、飘缈、性感， 融合了电音、民谣、古典、摇滚、Trip-Hop、雷鬼的音符，jem把它们化成魔咒，唤醒了我们沉睡的听觉。 难怪jem的歌声这么适合搭配交融复杂情感的电影“偷情《Closer》”。 听过“偷情”广告曲“Come On Closer”后，你很难不对这位歌声与曲风都独特的歌手念念不忘。 这位来自英国威尔斯的歌手，13岁就开始创作并演唱， 下定决心要以音乐为职志的她在学业告一段落后就马上投身音乐事业。2003年美国摇滚天团主唱大卫马修所属的ATO唱片慧眼签下这位才女，jem的音乐魔力开始大放异彩， 美国热门影剧电影“偷情”、“六尺风云”、“欲望师奶”、“野兽婆婆”、“麻雀变王妃” 等争相使用jem的创作做为插曲，在这些电影、电视影集的推波助澜下，jem一路从美国爆红回英国， 迄今在英国获得第六名的专辑已在排行榜上占据超过30周， 并创下全英点播亚军曲“They”与冠军曲“Just A Ride”两首热门单曲。
被誉为Dido第二的Jem可谓是大器晚成。今年29岁的她才发行了自己的处女专辑Finally Woken。所幸的是这张类似Dido曲风的专辑很快风靡了全世界。相比于Dido的飘渺，Jem的音乐多了一种尘世味道。虽说是民谣专辑，可是也融合了Rap~hip-pop等流行元素在其中。应该来说，这不是一张纯粹的英式专辑，它其实也混杂了许多世界音乐的成分。Jem也许并不算是一个美丽的女子，不过听着她的音乐时，却能感受到她纯净的心灵。
Jem首张专辑“如梦初醒《Finally Woken》”中除了歌迷影迷争相询问的“Come On Closer”外， 开场曲“They”取样享誉国际的人声合唱团体“史温格歌手〈The Swingle Singers〉” 诠释的“巴哈F小调前奏曲”，搭上孩童合音，结合古典及电子，创造出简洁的优雅美学； 专辑同名曲“Finally Woken”取样童谣“Ride A Cock Horse”传递出明亮的调性； 到了“24”又转为激昂的摇滚行径；“Stay Now”一开始就挑起高涨的戏剧张力。 整张专辑散发细腻与创意兼具的无穷魅力，无怪乎英美媒体对这张专辑好评不断， 现在，jem的灵秀才情也将透过这张专辑温柔深植你的心。
