By The Script
爱尔兰摇滚近年声势比较弱,U2退出录音室专辑已是几年前的事,The Cranberries解散、Sinead Oconnor则把音乐转向了静谧的神学,老一辈的音乐人似乎都在休养生息当中。不过最近几个月一支来自都柏林的新鲜血液——The Script重新赢得了大家对爱尔兰摇滚的关注。The Script是一支三人摇滚乐队,成员包括主唱Danny ODonoghue、光头吉他手Mark Sheehan、鼓手Glen Power。但颇令人迷惑的是,单从曲风上来说,The Script的音乐听起来不太像爱尔兰摇滚,反而美国味更浓一些。原来The Script三位成员的其中两位,Mark与Danny在青少年时期就在都柏林的詹姆士街区相识,两人均对美国黑人音乐情有独钟。因此,除了保留爱尔兰原有的摇滚风格,The Script更结合黑人音乐风格,强势力拼当红乐队Maroon5。
小编在本期《英乐魔盒》为大家极力推荐的是The Script励志新单曲《Millionaires》,歌曲讲述了一群贫民中的“百万富翁”,他们与自己的朋友简单而快乐地生活着。其实金钱不代表富有,每个人都有机会成为百万富翁,而相比之下,感情与时间也许才是我们更应该珍惜的。就像歌词所唱一样,“如果时间就是金钱,那我们都是百万富翁。”
Theyre kicking us out saying its time to close
Were leaning on each other trying to beat the cold I carry your shoes and I give you my coat
* Were walking these streets like theyre paved with gold
And any old excuses not to go
Neither one of us want to take that taxi home *
** Singing our hearts out
Standing on chairs
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Laughing our heads off
The two of us there
Spending our time like we are millionaires Millionaires **
Lost my heart and I hope to die
Seeing that sunlight hit your eyes
Been up all night but youre still amazing me Yeah
Half the time of night you only dream about If God came down he could take me now
Cause in my mind, we will always be
Repeat **
*** Look at us at six in the morning If time was money, yeah
Wed be worth a fortune
I swear you might think youre rich You could have a million euro
But you cant buy this
Repeat ***
Well the band was on playing that song
We messed up the lyrics as we sang along
But we didnt care
Cause it felt like we were the only ones there
My feet were sore my voice were raw
Theyre turning out the lights but were shouting more Were shouting more
Repeat **
Repeat ***
Repeat *
酒吧里的人把我们赶出来说要打烊了我们彼此靠着,试图抵御严寒
我拿着你的鞋子,把我的外套给你
* 我们(高兴地)走在大街上,就像它们是由金子铺成的
寻找更多留下来的理由
我们俩都不想坐出租车回家 *
** 纵情歌唱
站在椅子上
我们像百万富翁那样生活
放声大笑
我们两人在那里
像百万富翁那样生活百万富翁 **
我心痛欲绝,希望一死了之
看见阳光刺疼你的双眼
虽然一整晚和你在一起,但是你还是让我感到惊艳嗯
晚上的一半时间你都在做梦
如果上帝来了他现在就可以把我带走
因为在我心里,这一刻是永恒的
重复 **
*** 在早上六点的时候看看我们如果时间就是金钱,嗯
那么我们都是百万富翁
我发誓你可能认为自己很富有你有一百万欧元
但是你买不到时间 ***
重复 ***
乐队正在演奏那首歌曲
我们唱歌的时候把歌词唱错了
但是我们并不介意
因为这感觉就像我们是那里唯一的群体我的脚很疼,我的声音嘶哑
他们把灯关了,但是我们更是在大吼大叫我们更是在大吼大叫
重复 **
重复 ***
重复 *
