Shine Your Way——使生如夏花之絢爛

Adam Young是一個有趣的音樂人，他組建的Owl City樂隊實際上只有他一個人，像樂隊的編曲、演唱以及后期的混音合成工作都由他獨立完成。Adam Young的音樂作品別具特色，充滿了天馬行空的想象和童心未泯的情懷，這樣的音樂特質(zhì)使得他在創(chuàng)作動畫片主題曲時格外得心應(yīng)手。繼此前為動畫片《貓頭鷹王國：守衛(wèi)者傳奇》（Legend of the Guardians： The Owls of Ga'Hoole）和《無敵破壞王》（Wreck-It Ralph）獻唱之后，他與來自馬來西亞、頗具音樂天分的獨立唱作女歌手Yuna合作，演唱了動畫片《瘋狂原始人》（The Croods）的主題曲“Shine Your Way”。

這首歌清新勵志，歡快跳動的音符仿佛在為每一個努力生活的人加油打氣：溫暖的陽光會照耀前方的路途，也會讓臉上的淚水干得更快；廣闊無垠的世界里總有屬于我們的天地，沒有什么能夠阻擋我們發(fā)光發(fā)亮。詩人泰戈爾在《飛鳥集》（Stray Birds）中曾寫道：“Let life be beautiful like summer flowers ...”每個人都應(yīng)生如一朵夏花，向陽絢爛而生，努力汲取養(yǎng)分和力量，爭取在短暫有限的花期里以自己獨特的姿態(tài)盡情綻放。唯有這樣，才不負(fù)青春的美好年華。

Just before the dawn

When the light's still gone

Shine， shine your way

And you may not know where to go

Shine， shine your way

Open road but it's still dark

Build a fire from a spark

And shine， shine your way

Feed the feeling in your heart

Don't conceal it then you'll start

To find， find your way

No one can stop what has begun

You must believe when I say

▲All of your tears will dry faster in the sun

Starting today

Shine， shine， shine

Shine your way▲

There's an open sky

And a reason why

You shine， shine your way

There's so much to learn

And now it's your turn

To shine， shine your way

There's a feeling deep inside

You can let it be your guide

To find， find your way

And there's no time for us to waste

Got to take a leap of faith

And fly， fly away

Don't have to walk

Now you can run

Nothing can get in your way

Refrain ▲

Morning is breaking

Darkness is fading

We found a way to the light

It's such a beautiful sight

Anytime， anywhere

Turn around and I'll be there

To shine， shine your way

Like a star burning bright

Lighting up the darkest night

I'll shine， shine your way

Now I can see

You are the one

Sent here to show me the way

All of our tears will dry faster in the sun

Starting today

Shine， shine， shine

We're on our way

Shine， shine， shine

That's what we say

Shine， shine， shine

Shine your way

There's a reason why

You shine， shine your way

All of our tears will dry faster in the sun

Shine your way
