来自英国伦敦的Vega4,由来自爱尔兰的主唱John McDaid,贝斯Gavin Fox,加拿大的鼓手Bryan McLellan和新西兰的吉他手Bruce Gainsford。整个一个国际组合,这样的多国籍乐队实在不常见,带来的音乐当然多姿多彩了。4个人都参与专辑的制作,4个人的地域背景不同,带来的声音用他们的话来说就是“这是我们很难形容的声音”。一张专辑中带着多种元素的,他们只花了9个月便制作完成了这张美丽动听的专辑。Vega4在2003年初时发行了乐队的首张专辑《Satellites》,可惜的是当初居然没有人注意到这只乐队。从他们的音乐中,你可以听出Snow Patrol的味道。有力度的鼓点,有强有弱纯英式的吉他声线贯穿着整张专辑。单从开篇的You And Me的来说,带着复古味道的节奏,加上动听的高潮,绝对让我们想继续往下听。Traffic Jam 同样是一首十分英式的歌曲,不伦旋律还是演唱部分,都称的上是佳作。Let You是一首与Life Is Beautiful歌曲模式非常相似的歌曲,高潮来的很动听。Life Is Beautiful就更不用说了,专辑的招牌货,除了歌曲很棒外,这首歌曲的意义也是非常值得人们去深思的,单从名字看来,关于生活,关于美好生活的东西。“我们要鼓励大家去做我们需要做的一切,你可以改变自己,让自己贡献使我们的环境更美好,更加安全。我们需要节约能源,并且保护空气环境....等等”。乐队用歌曲来向世人宣传,表达出那份自己应该去做的东西。另外,他们在德国还比较红,2007年初就开始去德国巡演。

他们真正证明自身价值的作品是单曲You And Me,出自专辑《You And Others》,呈现了Vega4最显明的音乐基调,善心悦目的吉他和弦配上坚定有力的演唱,牢牢勾起了对于愉悦听觉的憧憬。Vega4同Jackknife Lee基于专辑《You And Others》的合作开始于2006年,对于乐队来说这是次值得纪念的经历,Lee全身心地投入乐队唱片制作,专辑花了9个月完成,Johnny感慨万千“和Lee合作太美妙了,他努力让我们把注意力放在广义的音乐世界,开拓了我们对于音乐的展望,突破内省的作风,让我们感受到了音乐无处不在。”
Vega4在2003年初时发行了乐队的首张专辑《Satellites》,但并没有引起很大的关注。2006年,他们推出了这张《You And Others 》。从他们的音乐中,你可以听出Snow Patrol的味道。有力度的鼓点,有强有弱纯英式的吉他声线贯穿着整张专辑。第一首You And Me,带着复古味道的节奏,加上动听的高潮,吸引力十足。Traffic Jam同样是十分英式,不伦旋律还是演唱部分,都称的上是佳作。Let You是一首与Life Is Beautiful歌曲模式非常相似的歌曲,高潮来的很动听。Life Is Beautiful就更不用说了,专辑的招牌货,除了歌曲很棒外,这首歌曲的意义也是非常值得人们去深思的,单从名字看来,关于生活,关于美好生活的东西。
“我们要鼓励大家去做我们需要做的一切,你可以改变自己,让自己贡献使我们的环境更美好,更加安全。我们需要节约能源,并且保护空气环境....”乐队用歌曲来向世人宣传,表达出那份自己应该去做的东西。
Vega 4 is a four-piece band formed in London. Johnny McDaid is the band's lead vocalist and is joined on guitar by Bruce Gainsford. Gavin Fox is the band's bassist while Bryan McLellan plays the drums.
McDaid and Fox are from Ireland, McLellan is from Canada, where he is regarded as one of the country's top drummers, and Gainsford is from New Zealand. Vega4 is signed to Columbia Records in the UK, Epic Records in the USA, and has an album You and Others produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Bloc Party).
Gavin Fox, formerly of the band Idlewild, joined Vega4 in December 2006 when bassist Simon Walker left.
Vega 4 premiered in the US when its single "Life is Beautiful" was featured on the November 2, 2006 episode of "Grey's Anatomy."
"Life Is Beautiful" was also recently featured on Episode 416, 'Prom Night At Hater High', of One Tree Hill.
Vega 4 topped the Irish charts in the last quarter of 2006 and broke sales records, with its hit "You and Me", when it was used by RTé 2fm to re-launch the station's new look and lineup. The band wrapped up its first U.S. tour on April 14, 2007 in San Diego, California. Vega 4 had been touring with Augustana for the previous several weeks. The band is receiving much media attention in the U.S. with major radio support for "Life Is Beautiful" and the rumors of Gainsford's on-again, off-again romance with Scarlett Johansson.

Life Is Beautiful
life is beautiful
we live until we die
when you run into my arms
we steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile (I'm not sure about this one)
let them see you smile
and do i hold you too tightly
when will the hurt kick in
life is beautiful
but it's complicated
we barely make it
we don't need to understand
there are miracles
miracles
your life is beautiful
our hearts they beat and break
when you run away from harm
will you run back into my arms
like you did when you were young
will you come back to me
and i will hold you tightly
when the hurting kicks in
life is beautiful
but it's complicated
we barely make it
we don't need to understand
there are miracles
miracles
stand where you are
we let all these moments pass us by
it's amazing where i'm standing
there's a lot left we can give
this is ours just for a moment
there's a lot left we can give
it's amazing where i'm standing
there's a lot left we can give
this is ours just for a moment
there's a lot left we can give
