2.Cactus in the valley--Lights&Owl City
Lights，加拿大流行歌手兼作曲人，她的歌曲带有小清新的电音曲风。2009年Lights获得了朱诺奖年度最佳新人的荣誉，朱诺奖被称作加拿大版的格莱美奖，由此可见，Lights的确是一个很有才华的歌手。《Cactus in the valley》目前共有4个官方版本，2013年，Lights又和Owl City合唱了这首歌，个人认为这个版本的《Cactus in the valley》中，Adam Young与Lights的声音十分合拍，所以更加青睐这个版本。

I longed for the flood to come back around
我渴望洪流归来
long for渴望，憧憬，相当于be eager to
对于long这个单词，我们最熟悉的解释是长的，但是在这里，它是一个动词，表示渴望，它的固定搭配就是long for，渴望，憧憬。
