今年年初,最火的華語片之一當數《那些年,我們一起追的女孩》了。這是一部小清新范兒的青春紀實片,講述了一個稚嫩的男生對心儀女生多年追求并堅守這份感情的故事。這部影片在上映后的短短幾天內便創下破億的票房紀錄,與其說是因為其畫面清新、故事唯美,倒不如說是因為其對青春的追述將很多人帶回到那段青澀的記憶中,憶起他們曾擁有的青春時光:年少的不羈,初戀的懵懂,生活的迷茫。青春是一個歷久不衰的話題,人們對它津津樂道,是因為年輕只有一次,青春不會再來。正如同名小說《那些年,我們一起追的女孩》中所言:“青春是一場大雨。即使感冒了,還盼望回頭再淋它一次……”我們時常懷念著青春,其實懷念的是青春時的自己。
歌曲“We Are Young”表達的也是這樣的青春感懷。這首歌是美國獨立流行樂隊Fun.于2012年發行的專輯Some Nights中的一首單曲。“We Are Young”曲風多變,節奏歡快,旋律振奮人心,淋漓盡致地展現了青春的火爆和激情。歌中沒有糾結和煩惱,沒有悲催和妥協,有的只是澎湃的青春激情和絢爛的花樣年華。這樣的旋律似曾相識,這樣的場景似曾發生,似乎那歌里吟唱的是我們每個人都曾歷經的青春。歲月流逝,我們漸漸長大。如今,那些恣意飛揚的日子好像離我們越來越遠,我們開始為現實生活四處奔波,我們整天應付忙不完的瑣事,我們已經悄然沒有了當年的熱血……當我們回眸那些年的激情和夢想,心中總會有一絲隱痛。但Fun.樂隊主唱Nate Ruess那富有穿透力的歌聲似乎是一種召喚:歲月可以侵蝕青春的面龐,但無法侵蝕青春的心。在生命的旅程中,我們要始終懷有一顆滾燙而年輕的心,即使不能set the world on fire,即使無法 burn brighter than the sun,但至少可以在自己遲暮之年說一聲:“那些年,我們無悔地青春過!”
We Are Young
Give me a second
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
Asking ’bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
★ Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun ★
(Refrain ★)
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I just thought maybe We could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a cup
’Cause I found someone to carry me home
(Refrain ★)
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
(Refrain ★)
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight
