Now
Don't just walk away
Pretending everythings okay and you don't care about me
And I know it's just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care
Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now
Would you tell it to my face
Have I been erased
Are you happy now
Are you happy now
You took all there was to take
And left me with an empty plate
And you don't care about it
Yeah
And I am giving up this game
And leaving you with all the blame
Cause I don't care
Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now
Would you tell it to my face
Have I been erased
Are you happy now
Are you happy now
Are you happy now
Do you really have everything you want?
You could never give something you ain't got
You can't run away from yourself
Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now
Come on tell it to my face
Have I been replaced
Are you happy now
Would you look me in the eye
Could you look me in the eye
I've had all that I can take
I'm not about to break
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
两年来的游历与聚焦， 接触不同的人和事， 19 岁的 Michelle Branch 长大了。 2001 年的首张个人大碟 《The Spirit Room》 ，不但为她带来超过 260 万的销量佳绩，大碟更停留在美国 Billboard 200 销量榜上长达 84 星期，韧力非凡。 首支单曲 "everywhere" 为 Michelle 赢得首个音乐奖项 (2002 年 MTV Viewer's Choice Award) ，与结他之神 Santana 合作之全球大热单曲 "the game of love" 更夺得2002 年美国格林美音乐颁奖礼之最佳合作单曲， 令格林美结他少女之美誉得以肯定。
一下子的名利、奖项与成就， 并没有将 Michelle Branch 冲昏头脑。 "其实 George Harrison 出道时只不过 17 岁，而 The Beatles 和 U2 的出道年纪亦跟我差不多， 所以我真心希望乐迷能用心感受我的摇滚音乐。" 绝非空口讲白话， 过去一年 Michelle 为美国摇滚女神 Sheryl Crow 作美国巡回演唱会之开场嘉宾， 亦与 Santana 为 "the game of love" 作世界性巡回宣传。跟过无数重量级音乐人合作，Michelle 的确在音乐上获益良多。 "无论作为一个歌手或音乐人，都觉得比之前成熟了不少。"
2003 年夏天， Michelle Branch 公开她的全新大碟 《Hotel Paper》。 "这张绝对是一张自传式专辑，" Michelle 羞怯的说。 "我不懂得表达自己， 写歌对我来说是一个表达过程，而 《Hotel Paper》 是我过去两年来所接触的每一天、 每一点、每一滴。 我可以清楚告诉你， 写每一首歌时我在那里、在想什么、 在感受什么。"
"过去两年初尝独立生活， 还要马拉松式的与工作人员到世界各地作演出及宣传。 纵使工作顺景， 但亦难免会有孤寂的时候。" 这正是 "hotel paper" 主题作品之写照。 话题主打 "are you happy now?" 表达对情人的不满，MV 内更分身用塔罗牌来占卜 开心运程； 次打单曲 "breathe" 叫你呼出一口少女心事，雨便会跟你呼应；"tuesday morning" 对恋人的温婉诉求， 柔软地容化你心窗；"desparately" 靡靡道出一见锺情的炽热； 而碟尾曲 "it's you" 用简单木结他细诉旅途上的思念情感，份外动人。
体贴你的，除了她的歌声，还有她。
她，就是 Michelle Branch。
