精致的妝容、美麗的指甲、時髦的發(fā)型、性感的裝扮——似乎只有這樣才能受歡迎，才能融入那些華麗光鮮的圈子。只是，獨自一人站在鏡子前時，我們是否真的喜歡這樣的自己？迎合別人又是否讓我們身心疲憊？這正是美國唱作型才女Colbie Caillat在其新專輯Gypsy Heart的首支單曲“Try”中緩緩唱出的很多女生的困擾。

Colbie來自美國加州，2007年在Myspace上發(fā)布了自己的首支單曲“Bubbly”，旋即引起巨大的反響，進(jìn)而開始在歌壇嶄露頭角。2009年，Colbie同民謠“男巫”Jason Mraz合作的歌曲“Lucky”更讓她俘獲了無數(shù)人的耳朵。和歐美歌壇那些個性張揚的女歌手不同，Colbie的吟唱宛若微風(fēng)，沒有什么過多的修飾，就像是慵懶的午后閨蜜們的閑聊，溫暖又治愈，卻又能悄然撥動聽者的心弦。她在“Try”中的吟唱亦然，輕柔而溫暖，撫慰著那些疲于改變自己以取悅他人的靈魂。不過，“Try”這首歌卻并非催淚的內(nèi)心剖析，也更非女權(quán)主義的勵志宣言。Colbie只想借這首歌告訴人們：You don't have to try so hard. You don't have to bend until you break. You just have to get up， get up， get up， get up. You don't have to change a single thing. 不必為取悅他人而改變什么，卸下負(fù)擔(dān)，擁抱真實的自己就好。

Put your make-up on，

Get your nails done，

Curl your hair，

Run the extra mile，

Keep it slim，

So they like you.

Do they like you？

Get your sexy on，

Don't be a shy girl，

Take it off，

This is what you want

To belong，

So they like you.

Do you like you？

You don't have to try so hard.

You don't have to give it all away.

You just have to get up， get up， get up， get up.

You don't have to change a single thing.

You don't have to try， try， try， try.

You don't have to try， try， try， try.

You don't have to try， try， try， try.

You don't have to try.

You don't have to try.

Oh.

Get your shopping on at the mall，

Max your credit card，

So you don't have to choose，

Buy it all，

So they like you.

Do they like you？

Wait a second，

Why should you care

What they think of you

When you're all alone by yourself？

Do you like you？

Do you like you？

Refrain

You don't have to try so hard.

You don't have to bend until you break.

You just have to get up， get up， get up， get up.

You don't have to change a single thing.

Refrain

Refrain

Refrain

You don't have to try， try， try， try.

You don't have to try， try， try， try.

You don't have to try.

You don't have to try.

Take your make-up off，

Let your hair down，

Take a breath，

Look into the mirror at yourself.

Don't you like you？

'Cause I like you.
