We Are Young

今年年初，最火的華語(yǔ)片之一當(dāng)數(shù)《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(jì)實(shí)片，講述了一個(gè)稚嫩的男生對(duì)心儀女生多年追求并堅(jiān)守這份感情的故事。這部影片在上映后的短短幾天內(nèi)便創(chuàng)下破億的票房紀(jì)錄，與其說(shuō)是因?yàn)槠洚?huà)面清新、故事唯美，倒不如說(shuō)是因?yàn)槠鋵?duì)青春的追述將很多人帶回到那段青澀的記憶中，憶起他們?cè)鴵碛械那啻簳r(shí)光：年少的不羈，初戀的懵懂，生活的迷茫。青春是一個(gè)歷久不衰的話題，人們對(duì)它津津樂(lè)道，是因?yàn)槟贻p只有一次，青春不會(huì)再來(lái)。正如同名小說(shuō)《那些年，我們一起追的女孩》中所言：“青春是一場(chǎng)大雨。即使感冒了，還盼望回頭再淋它一次……”我們時(shí)常懷念著青春，其實(shí)懷念的是青春時(shí)的自己。

歌曲“We Are Young”表達(dá)的也是這樣的青春感懷。這首歌是美國(guó)獨(dú)立流行樂(lè)隊(duì)Fun.于2012年發(fā)行的專(zhuān)輯Some Nights中的一首單曲。“We Are Young”曲風(fēng)多變，節(jié)奏歡快，旋律振奮人心，淋漓盡致地展現(xiàn)了青春的火爆和激情。歌中沒(méi)有糾結(jié)和煩惱，沒(méi)有悲催和妥協(xié)，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(shí)，這樣的場(chǎng)景似曾發(fā)生，似乎那歌里吟唱的是我們每個(gè)人都曾歷經(jīng)的青春。歲月流逝，我們漸漸長(zhǎng)大。如今，那些恣意飛揚(yáng)的日子好像離我們?cè)絹?lái)越遠(yuǎn)，我們開(kāi)始為現(xiàn)實(shí)生活四處奔波，我們整天應(yīng)付忙不完的瑣事，我們已經(jīng)悄然沒(méi)有了當(dāng)年的熱血……當(dāng)我們回眸那些年的激情和夢(mèng)想，心中總會(huì)有一絲隱痛。但Fun.樂(lè)隊(duì)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(wú)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(wú)法 burn brighter than the sun，但至少可以在自己遲暮之年說(shuō)一聲：“那些年，我們無(wú)悔地青春過(guò)！”

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
