摇滚人永远年轻：Forever Young

 

 

Forever Young - Bob Dylan 

  

       Bob Dylan14岁时，他在戏院里看到了《Blackboard Jungle》中的摇滚狂热， 从此他发现了音乐的另一种功能——它的社会学效应。摇流乐的歌词使人振奋，反映着青少年的个性、野心与叛逆。

       他对音乐的最主要的贡献，也影响了列农和麦卡特尼之后的很多歌手，那就是歌词的深刻寓意与音乐成为同等重要的一部分。

       从他一开始的抗议歌曲，就展示了他的歌词比他的音乐更浪漫、更激动人心。

       纵观其音乐生涯，Bob Dylan 真正赋予了摇滚乐以灵魂。

Forever Young - 摇滚童话

 

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is wrong
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later
They all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

 

 

 

Forever Young - Alphaville

  

      受到Ultravox乐队结构和音乐风格的德国电子乐团Alphaville是个简单朴实的团体，他们显现出了一流乐团的素质和水平。

      但是在他们的歌唱生涯中，阵容的变化很大。不管还有多少人记得Alphaville，forever young依然被传唱着，音域宽广，歌词真挚动人，是Alphaville最为有名的歌曲。成熟忧郁的男声，极富感伤、极致梦幻华丽、甚至带有几丝颓废色彩的电子乐。歌曲唱出年轻人的心声：年轻就是资本，年轻代表活力，因为年轻，所以我们可以挑战、放肆、蔑视传统；因为年轻，宁愿轰轰烈烈地死去，也不愿平淡地老死……
