相傳在古希臘的阿波羅神廟上刻有三句箴言,其中一句就是“認(rèn)識(shí)你自己”。自我認(rèn)知和探索對(duì)于每個(gè)人而言都是人生旅途上的必修課。我是誰(shuí)?在別人眼里我是怎樣的人?我想要成為什么樣的人?或許Bridgit Mendler的這首“Somebody”會(huì)給我們一些啟迪。
作為迪士尼頻道(Disney Channel)的當(dāng)紅女演員,Bridgit Mendler和許多通過(guò)迪士尼頻道走紅的明星一樣,影視歌多棲發(fā)展。1992年出生的她13歲時(shí)就開(kāi)始了演藝生涯,因主演《查莉成長(zhǎng)日記》(Good Luck Charlie)而被觀眾所知。“Somebody”是她主演的電影《檸檬大嘴巴》(Lemonade Mouth)的插曲,這首輕搖滾風(fēng)格的歌曲很好地表現(xiàn)了電影的主題,五個(gè)原本不起眼的高中生因?yàn)橥瑯訜釔?ài)音樂(lè)而走到了一起,組建樂(lè)隊(duì)的過(guò)程雖然一波三折,但最后他們都學(xué)會(huì)了如何克服重重困難,用音樂(lè)勇敢地表達(dá)自我。
“We will walk out of this darkness, feel the spotlight glowing like a yellow sun.”就像歌詞所寫(xiě)的那樣,自我探索的旅途從來(lái)不會(huì)一路平坦,我們會(huì)有迷茫的時(shí)刻,會(huì)有不知所措的瞬間,但當(dāng)我們戰(zhàn)勝了內(nèi)心的恐懼,勇敢地發(fā)出心中的吶喊,終將還會(huì)成為更好的自己。因?yàn)槲覀兠總€(gè)人都帶著獨(dú)一無(wú)二的皇冠,都有著屬于自己的光芒。因?yàn)槲揖褪俏遥?/p>
Can you see me?
'Cause I'm right here.
Can you listen?
'Cause I've been trying to make you notice.
What it would mean to me
To feel like somebody?
We've been on our way to nowhere,
Tryin so hard to get there.
★ And I say,
''Oh!''
We're gonna let it show!
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try
To make it come alive.
C'mon let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be
Somebody (Somebody).
Somebody, yeah (Somebody)
Some how
Some day
Some way
Somebody ★
I'm so tired
Of being invisible.
But I feel it, yeah,
Like a fire below the surface,
Trying to set me free,
Burning inside of me,
'Cause we're standing on the edge now.
It's a long way down.
Refrain ★
We will walk out of this darkness,
Feel the spotlight glowing like a yellow sun.
Oh oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh oh)
And when we fall, we fall together
Till we get back up, and we will rise as one.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Refrain ★
Ooooh
