2002年的夏天，一个只有17岁的来自加拿大的女孩如疾风暴雨般的席卷了整个北美地区的流行音乐界，并且继而在随后的几个月时间里立即风靡全球，成为这一年中世界流行音乐界最令人不可思议的现象。艾薇儿‧拉韦妮(Avril Lavigne)就是这个加拿大女孩，就是这个“现象”。

艾薇儿，这位如今的摇滚小魔女于1984年9月30日出生在加拿大安大略地区一个只有5千人的小地方Napanee。2岁，对于众多平凡的孩子来说这是一个刚学会自由说话的年龄，但是艾薇儿的演唱天才已经开始得到发挥了，她的摇滚乐潜质已经开始显现。不久之后，家乡的教堂唱诗班成了艾薇儿的第一个表演舞台。不过艾薇儿并没有立即开始摇滚乐的发展，她更多的是演唱乡村音乐，随着年龄的增长她也开始在不同的场合演唱，当地的很多节日庆典和不同的表演节目成了她在之后几年展示才华的地方。艾薇儿的演唱才华并没有随着青春期的到来而平庸，相反的是她在12岁的时候已经开始自己动手创作歌曲，同时还自学会了弹奏吉他。

艾薇儿的音乐略带朋克色彩，旋律上可以清楚的感觉到Grunge音乐对她的影响。艾薇儿的音乐以另类的流行摇滚风格为主，与另一位著名的加拿大摇滚女明星Alanis Morissette的音乐路线上有某些方面的相似。由于制作能力的强大使她的音乐旋律和编曲更易于青少年歌迷群体接受，同时，摇滚风格为基础的音乐又明显比泛滥的青少年流行舞曲更易于迎合年龄稍大的歌迷的口味。艾薇儿的音乐也为她赢得了在世界范围内巨大的成功，成为了流行音乐的新偶像，新的小天后，一个摇滚小天后。

Avril Lavigne When You're Gone Lyrics

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take


Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
