The 4400 第三季插曲 Life For Rent
经过了四年的漫长等待之后，电子流行乐歌星Dido终于推出了第二张个人专辑，自从受到Eminem的单曲《Stan》的推动作用以后，Dido专辑的销量飞速增长，人气也呈几何倍数的提升，这张倍受期待的专辑推出以后，已经在英国专辑榜上轻松的成为了冠军，随后又以接近19万2千张的单周销量在美国 Billboard排行榜上位居第四名，这也追平了她第一张专辑《No Angel》的记录。
在这张专辑中，Dido主要表现了她的音乐工作的艰辛，以及感情上的挫折等许多令她伤心的记忆，特别是在最近和多年的男友分手的情形，颇有些 “功名利禄虽苦取，红颜知己更难求”的感觉。在上一张大获成功的专辑《No Angel》之后，Dido长时间的投入到制作这张新专辑的工作中，为了保证专辑在音乐和商业上不会出现大滑坡，Dido也采用了通常的做法，那就是尽量保持上张专辑的原班人马操刀，所以这张专辑还是主要由她的哥哥Rollo担任制作人，但是这也在一定程度上影响了音乐在创新方面的工作。事实上也是如此，在音乐风格上基本和上一张没有太多的区别，不过一些旋律的处理上比前一张专辑显得更为自然了。此外专辑里也有一些令人回味的单曲，诸如《White Flag》《Stoned》《See You When You're 40》《Do You Have a Little Time》以及同名主打《Life for Rent》等。
对于整张专辑中比较多的伤感成分来说，专辑的电子融合流行民谣式的音乐风格表现起来也还是比较自然，透彻的，旋律加上歌词，这份伤感对于那些过了而立之年又不幸遭遇感情挫折的人们来说可能会引起共鸣。对于喜欢Dido的歌迷来说，这是一张仍然具有Dido特点的专辑，因为音乐风格上没有大的变化，所以还可以听到和以往同样的Dido，可以说这就是《No Angel》的音乐在新世纪的延续。
歌词：Life For Rent -- Dido
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
