對于過去、現(xiàn)在和未來,每個人都有自己的態(tài)度。哪段歲月才是人生最美好的時光呢?有的人回答是過去,因為逝去的歲月中有那么多值得回憶的點滴;也有人說是未來,因為他們總相信未來的生活會比當(dāng)下更精彩。但是極少人回答是現(xiàn)在,因為現(xiàn)在的生活總有那么多的不如意。很多人都曾有過這樣的經(jīng)歷:讀中學(xué)時羨慕大學(xué)生的悠閑自得,進(jìn)入大學(xué)校園后又十分懷念中學(xué)時無比珍貴的單純和天真;大學(xué)畢業(yè)前期待著到社會中去大展拳腳,工作后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)許多事情都有著難遂人愿的無奈,后悔當(dāng)初沒有好好珍惜校園里那些無憂無慮的時光……為什么我們就不能珍惜現(xiàn)在的一切,不要再錯失欣賞當(dāng)下的美好呢?事實上,懷念往昔、憧憬未來都沒有活在當(dāng)下好。
歌曲You’re Gonna Miss This講述的便是這樣一個主題,它用三個生動的場景為聽眾描繪了珍惜當(dāng)下有多可貴。在第一個場景中,女孩抱怨說想要快快長大成人,過了18歲,便可以自力更生,自己作決定;而身旁的母親滿懷愛意地告訴女兒,長大后她就會懷念現(xiàn)在的時光。第二個場景中,剛剛成家的女兒和來訪的父親談起了未來的打算,他們談到了孩子,談到她想擁有一座大房子,而作為過來人的父親勸她,不要太心急,一切慢慢來。最后一個場景中,女孩已成了母親,為孩子們的吵鬧和家里的雜亂向前來維修的水管工道歉,而這位工人卻和善地告訴她,他一點也不嫌煩,因為他也是兩個孩子的父親,如今他們都已長大成人,這不禁讓人感嘆時光流轉(zhuǎn)……
You’re Gonna Miss This由美國鄉(xiāng)村音樂歌手Trace Adkins演唱,作為五個女兒的父親,他完美地演繹了歌曲中所表達(dá)的感情,真摯感人。歌曲MV的拍攝地點選在Adkins的家鄉(xiāng)路易斯安那,因為那里充滿了他兒時點點滴滴的回憶。盡管歌中沒有出現(xiàn)“precious”“valuable”這樣的字眼,但通過歌曲描繪出的生動畫面和一句含蓄的“You’re gonna miss this”,聽者已經(jīng)知道每個“現(xiàn)在”都是獨一無二的,珍惜不可替代的當(dāng)下才是生活的意義所在。
You’re Gonna Miss This
She was starin’ out that window of that SUV
Complainin’, sayin’, “I can’t wait to turn 18”
She said, “I’ll make my own money, and I’ll make my own rules”
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head, and said, “I was just like you”
You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this
Before she knows it she’s a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her, “It’s a nice place”
She says, “It’ll do for now”
Starts talkin’ about babies and buyin’ a house
Daddy shakes his head and says, “Baby, just slow down”
’Cause you’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this
Five years later there’s a plumber
Workin’ on the water heater
Dog’s barkin’, phone’s ringin’
One kid’s cryin’, one kid’s screamin’
And she keeps apologizin’
He says, “They don’t bother me
I’ve got two babies of my own
One’s 36, one’s 23
Huh, it’s hard to believe”
But you’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna miss this
Yeah, you’re gonna miss this
