陶喆的专辑之中,常以女生的英文名字为歌名.在《黑色柳丁》专辑里,就有两首英文歌名是和他相关的两个女生;一个是他前女友Melody,一个是他曾经想追求、但却惨遭婉拒的Katrina.
陶喆和Melody过往的恋情,在当初Melody从美国返台开创星途时,广为大家所熟知.不过,大家知道这段恋情时,他们其实已经分手了,而《Melody》这首歌曲,就是陶喆在恋曲告终之后谱写的作品.陶喆说,他写这首歌,有双重意思,一方面是悼念逝去的爱情,另一方面,也是创造一首新的“ 旋律”.
陶喆回忆,写这首歌的过程很不顺,配唱更是有如一场恶梦,但大功告成之后,他非常满意.“这首歌的编曲复杂,节奏起伏性也很大,在音乐的表现上很戏剧化.”分手之后和Melody仍是朋友的他,曾把这首歌放给Melody聆听,不过,Melody当下的反应却不太爽,质问陶喆:“为什么要用我的名字当歌名呢?”让陶喆急忙解释他创作的用意.陶喆说,当初《Melody》并非主打歌,但回响却出乎他意外,可是他却不常演唱这首歌,“主要是不想再让媒体有过多连想和揣测.”
Katrina则是出现在陶喆和Melody分手后的女生.陶喆说,他美国住家附近有个商场,Katrina当时是兰蔻化妆品专柜的销售员,“ 我有一次经过她面前,就觉得这女生很迷人,她应该是法国和越南的混血儿.好几次,我为了想看她,就只好去跟她买化妆品,其实,我哪用得到那些化妆品啊!”
有一天,陶喆灵感一来,写下《Katrina》这首歌,第二天他鼓足勇气,捧着一束花和写好的卡片及《Katrina》的DEMO带,送到 Katrina面前.“我记得我在卡片上写着,希望可以进一步认识她,还留了我的电话,送上花的那一刻,我真的觉得自己像个大傻瓜.”
Katrina不知道当时陶喆在台湾已经是知名的歌手,她也没有接受陶喆的爱意.陶喆透露:“有好几个月的时间,她都无消无息,让我非常痛苦,后来我接到她的电话,她跟我说她觉得很感动,但她已经有了男朋友.”
回顾这段过程,陶喆虽笑称自己像个笨蛋,但还是很佩服自己有这股傻劲和冲动,而《黑色柳丁》里所收录的《Katrina》,也是他当初献给Katrina的DEMO原始版本.

这是我翻译的版本.我不知道你的用途是什么,可能不能达到你地道美语的要求,但我已经根据我对David的了解尽量准确地翻译出来了.
歌曲名和专辑名的斜体显示不出来,你可以自己再修改一下格式就行了.
David Tao often uses some girls' English name as his songs' titles in his albums.In his album The Black Tangerine,there are two girls whose name are used as songs’ titles.One is his ex-girlfriend Melody; the other is Katrina who he once wanted to pursue but finally failed.
The past Romance between David and Melody was later widely known when Melody first returned to Taiwan to start her singing career.But actually they had broken up when we knew about it.The song Melody was composed by David after their parting.According to David,there is a double meaning in this song:on the one hand,it is mourning the passing away of love; on the other hand,it is creating a new "melody."
David Tao recalled that the song’s composing wasn’t a smooth process,nor was the record,which was rather a nightmare.However,he was very satisfied when finishing it."This song has a complex arrangement and a great rhythm of ups and downs.It is dramatic in the musical expressiveness." David said.They were still friends after parting and David once played this song for Melody.But Melody was unhappy and asked David why he used her name as the title and the reason..David said that Melody was not the theme song and the response was beyongd his expectation.But he did not always sing this songs,as he didn’t want to cause too much conjecture.
Katrina appeared after David’s breaking up with Melody.According to David,Katrina is a salesgirl at the Lancome cosmetics counter in a shopping mall near David’s home in USA.“Once being in front of her,I thought that this girl was very attractive.She should be half Vietnam and half France.On several occasions,in order to meet her,I had to buy her cosmetics,which ,however,I would never use!”
One day,David wrote the song Katrina on a sudden inspiration.The next day,with a bouquet of flowers and a card,he gathered his courage to send the DEMO of Katrina to Katrina.“I remember that the card read I hoped to know better about her.I also left my phone number.When giving her the flower,I really felt I looked like a fool.”
Katrina didn’t know that David had already been a famous singer in Taiwan at that time,nor did she accepted the love of David.He said she didn’t have any response after a few months,which made him very upset.Later Katrina phoned him and said she was moved,but she already had a boyfriend.
Looking back to this,David laughed at himself as a fool,but still admired his folly and impulse.The Katrina,embodied in the Black Tangerine,is the original DEMO he gave Katrina.
