雅尼的《 NEVER TOO LATE 》
属于专辑《天下一家》
雅尼于2003年2月推出的最新休闲音乐专辑,是雅尼专为雅典奥运会预热助势而作。《天下一家》的英文名为《Ethnicity》,港台翻译为《大同世界》,意指这是一张世界所有民族都会爱听的专辑。新专辑中,雅尼仍以钢琴、合成乐器、乐团等大编制方式来演奏自己的创作乐曲,使专辑保持了雅尼一贯的独特音乐气氛。不同的是《Ethnicity》加入了不少人声吟唱,而且专辑的音乐风格比以往任何一张专辑都要多样化,按雅尼自己的说法,这张融合了多种文化的专辑最终的结果是要让全世界的人都满意。
几分古典音乐的风骨和气派;通俗流行中又带有超脱情调;雅尼别具一格的编曲、和弦、迷离梦幻的演奏现场征服了世界。丰富优雅的节奏是现代与古典的结合,传统与现实的汇聚,清透、神秘,充满朦胧氛围,雅尼挑战传统,独一无二的音乐风格:钢琴、合成乐器、乐团的大编制,以声、光、电于一体的华丽电子音乐演奏会,风靡全球。在雅尼营造的神秘飘渺意境中,聆听者总会不知不觉中摆脱尘世对灵魂的羁绊,得到心灵的洗涤……
雅尼以前的专辑都只有创作音乐,而这次专辑中改编自己早期的作品“The Promise”,请好友填词,由曾在他tribute巡回演出中表演的女声洁诺(Alfreda Gerald)献声。另一曲“Almost A Whisper”也是一首抒情至极的歌曲。专辑中巧妙融入世界各族群的音乐色彩,雅尼表示,即使不同的种族,不同的文化,一旦进入了音乐世界,就会发现音乐是共通的语言,众人的灵魂也会在音乐中合而为一。
新世纪音乐大师雅尼几年来一直在世界各地旅行,经过长时间沉淀酝酿才完成了《Ethnicity》中的十二首新曲。雅尼的上一张专辑是2000年的《If I Could Tell You》,睽违3年,雅尼不仅推出了乐迷们期待已久新专辑《天下一家》,还出了个人的第一本书——《Yanni In Words》,同时雅尼正在进行2003-2004年度的世界巡回音乐会演出。

Never Too Late 歌词
( Rossi / Frost )
The world is in a mess
And finished more or less
It doesn't really matter
And it's maybe too late to change it
It's never too late to change it
Did you take a look
Any sort of look
I'm sure you would remember
'Cos it wouldn't need much explaining
'Cos it's never too late to change it
The world is in a mess
And finished more or less
It doesn't really matter
And it's maybe too late to change it
It's never too late to change it
It's never too late for changing
Never too late for changing
Now this old sea-dog's gonna get away across the water
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
But I don't think God thought we'd get out of order
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
But now it's getting late
Too late to hesitate
I can't wait any longer
So there's no use in you complaining
'Cos it's never too late for changing
Now did you take a look
Any sort of look
I'm sure you would remember
'Cos it wouldn't need much explaining
'Cos it's never too late to change it
I've told you once or twice
It could be paradise
So listen when I'm talking to you
It shouldn't take much expalining
The world is gonna need some changes
Never too late to change it
Never too late for changing
Never too late to change it
Never too late for changing
Now this old sea-dog's gonna get away across the water
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
But I don't think God thought we'd get out of order
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
