Charlie Hunter Quartet - More Than This (feat. Norah Jones)
Written by Bryan Ferry
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
（不負責翻譯）
我登時察覺
我們走上一條未知的路
就像午夜飄零的落葉
不知何處去
指望能在風一般的自由裡得些體會
怎知大海潮汐來去
卻無從停轉
More than this - There is nothing
Oh more than this -You tell me one thing
More than this - You know there's nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we´re going
No care in the world
And maybe I´m learning
Why the sea on the tide
It has no way of turning
走在未知裡
起初覺得有趣
但卻如夜半迷夢
不知何處去
以為能從無憂無慮中學曉什麼
怎知海水潮汐
卻無從停轉
More than this - You know there is nothing
Oh more than this - You tell me one thing
More than this - There is nothing
Nothing...
More than this - You know there is nothing
Much more than this - You tell me one thing
More than this - There is nothing
More than...
這首歌原本發表於1982年Roxy Music的最後一張專輯Avalon中，此後數十年被翻唱不斷。
Roxy Music曾被認為是80年代頹廢音樂的代表，即使解散多年仍舊維持他的圖騰地位。在迷失東京(Lost in Translation, 2003)裡，曾有一幕是Bill Murray在東京ＫTV裡有些迷濛地唱著More Than This。即使默老的唱腔實在是荒腔走板，不過他演唱時那微醺的頹廢眼神，可說是完美詮釋了。
Norah Jones的版本收入在Charlie Hunter Quartet的專輯Songs From the Analog Playground裡。Charlie Hunter在樂界以他那把特殊訂做的八弦吉他縱橫搖滾、爵士以及融合樂壇。他在Songs From the Analog Playground專輯裡邀請了許多歌手合作，而Norah Jones些許黏膩的聲音在這首More Than This帶點Bossa Nova 曲式慵懶的聲浪推進下，顯得很性感，是這張專輯裡表現最為突出的歌手。
音樂之外，歌詞也挺撩撥人。
「落葉會被不羈的風吹往何處？夜半迷夢的情節會如何進展？或許我還玩世不恭地學著，還在所謂自由裡領悟，但卻不得不嗟嘆：海邊的浪潮為什麼總是來去不回頭呢？我跟你之間的關係應該不只如此吧，不只如此，對嗎？告訴我，不只如此，對吧。」
