Nick Jonas & The Administration - Who I Am

【專輯名稱】Who I Am
【歌手名稱】Nick Jonas & The Administration
【專輯語言】英
【發行日期】2010-02-02

2010 solo album from Nick Jonas, one third of the Jonas Brothers and a huge musical phenomenon. With some downtime in 2009, Nick Jonas took the opportunity to form a side project called Nick Jonas & The Administration, which also includes drummer Michael Bland (Prince, Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, Rob Thomas), keyboardist Tommy Barbarella (Prince, Switchfoot, Jonny Lang), album-only guitarist David Ryan Harris (John Mayer, Santana) and bassist John Fields (producer of Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Pink) who also produced the CD. Fueling the album's 10 songs was Nick's long-held fascination with politics, especially politics at the top. Throughout, Nick places allusions to the trappings of the Presidency, from the White House Rose Garden to the symbolic olive branch and arrows clutched in the talons of the American eagle (fans will have fun spotting all the clues). But "Who I Am" is not a political album. Rather, through the idiom of Rock and Soul music, it's a survey of the ungovernable human heart.

1. Rose Garden

She was brought into this world
Out of a beautiful mistake
When her mom was just a girl
And her daddy didn't stay

She was working at age nine
At the flower shop in town
Working not just to survive
'Cause life was throwing her around

In the rose garden
Where the rain is falling
And the thorns are sharpened

2. Who I Am

Songwriters: Jonas, Nick;

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
is that so bad?

I want to break our madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

Nothing makes sense
Nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing is right
Nothing is right when you're gone

Losing my breath
Losing my right to be born
I'm frightened to death

3. Olive & An Arrow

Songwriters: N/A

We've never been into honesty
So promise me you'll let me know
When you're lying
She wants to be an eagle
When she's high she can fly
No matter what she was trying

She'll be the perfect woman
Then she'll change suddenly
You wanna cry from the feeling
She's got a heart of gold but
Every now and again she'll turn to grey
And you know she gives me

4. Conspiracy Theory

Songwriters: N/A

Conspiracy theory
Better keep it down
Cause the walls are thin
And the word is out, now

Lock your lips
Don't make sound
Cause the walls are thin
And the word is out, now

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't choke
That's right

Why do we need to live in fear
Knowing that the words are real
This time

5. In the End

Songwriters: N/A

This town's too small for
You to run around like you do
You're taking things
That just don't belong to you

Picture yourself inside a room, now
Imagine the freedom that you lose
Well baby it all comes back to haunt you
In the end

Baby it hurts the most when you
Don't have a friend
You know you broke our trust and now you're stuck
On the wrong side of the fence

6. Last Time Around

Songwriters: N/A

Walk in the room
I'm a man on a mission
You're standing there and I feel that connection
I break the ice and I ask what your name is
Then I recall that we already did this
Some how I missed it

Keep on moving like you did last summer
When the grass was greener
And your hair was longer
If you, become familiar with another in town
Don't forget about the fun that we had

7. Tonight

Songwriters: N/A

Well, here we are again
Throwing punchlines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

Every single word's been said (Whoa oh oh oh)

8. State of Emergency

Songwriters: N/A

she's seductive, she does it well
she'll charge you by the hour
for a straight trip down to hell
she'll correct you, you think you know
she's gonna let you go, she's gonna let you go

I'm a lover, but I'm still reserved
again you touch the fire
but your heart could still be burned
she'll want you to let her know
she's gonna let you go, she's gonna let you go

9. Vesper's Goodbye

Songwriters: N/A

All of you,
shaped me into what I am,
carried out the better man,
Do you have a master plan?
Oh no.

Somewhere, I,
let all my defenses down,
never thought to turn around,
and you did not make a sound.

See it turning red,
like a bullet through the chest,
lay me down to rest,
it's a lovers final breath.

And I found out,

10. Stronger (Back on the Ground)

Songwriters: N/A

Wake up, to the alarm and the phone
Trying to stick out
Stuck in the world don't belong
Sometimes something so right can be wrong
When the week ends
Cause gravity's taking it's toll

I wanna know
Am I the only one around
Can you show me something deeper then I found
I wanna know will you be with me
Everything around is falling down
When I finally get these feet back on the ground
