對(duì)于過(guò)去、現(xiàn)在和未來(lái),每個(gè)人都有自己的態(tài)度。哪段歲月才是人生最美好的時(shí)光呢?有的人回答是過(guò)去,因?yàn)槭湃サ臍q月中有那么多值得回憶的點(diǎn)滴;也有人說(shuō)是未來(lái),因?yàn)樗麄兛傁嘈盼磥?lái)的生活會(huì)比當(dāng)下更精彩。但是極少人回答是現(xiàn)在,因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在的生活總有那么多的不如意。很多人都曾有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷:讀中學(xué)時(shí)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(shí)無(wú)比珍貴的單純和天真;大學(xué)畢業(yè)前期待著到社會(huì)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(wú)奈,后悔當(dāng)初沒(méi)有好好珍惜校園里那些無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的時(shí)光……為什么我們就不能珍惜現(xiàn)在的一切,不要再錯(cuò)失欣賞當(dāng)下的美好呢?事實(shí)上,懷念往昔、憧憬未來(lái)都沒(méi)有活在當(dāng)下好。
歌曲You’re Gonna Miss This講述的便是這樣一個(gè)主題,它用三個(gè)生動(dòng)的場(chǎng)景為聽(tīng)眾描繪了珍惜當(dāng)下有多可貴。在第一個(gè)場(chǎng)景中,女孩抱怨說(shuō)想要快快長(zhǎng)大成人,過(guò)了18歲,便可以自力更生,自己作決定;而身旁的母親滿懷愛(ài)意地告訴女兒,長(zhǎng)大后她就會(huì)懷念現(xiàn)在的時(shí)光。第二個(gè)場(chǎng)景中,剛剛成家的女兒和來(lái)訪的父親談起了未來(lái)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(guò)來(lái)人的父親勸她,不要太心急,一切慢慢來(lái)。最后一個(gè)場(chǎng)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(lái)維修的水管工道歉,而這位工人卻和善地告訴她,他一點(diǎn)也不嫌煩,因?yàn)樗彩莾蓚€(gè)孩子的父親,如今他們都已長(zhǎng)大成人,這不禁讓人感嘆時(shí)光流轉(zhuǎn)……
You’re Gonna Miss This由美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)歌手Trace Adkins演唱,作為五個(gè)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(diǎn)選在Adkins的家鄉(xiāng)路易斯安那,因?yàn)槟抢锍錆M了他兒時(shí)點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴的回憶。盡管歌中沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)“precious”“valuable”這樣的字眼,但通過(guò)歌曲描繪出的生動(dòng)畫(huà)面和一句含蓄的“You’re gonna miss this”,聽(tīng)者已經(jīng)知道每個(gè)“現(xiàn)在”都是獨(dú)一無(wú)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
