各位觀眾! The Script睽違兩年終於又出新歌了!
新單曲照例走heartbreak路線,但論歌曲風格,終於有點回歸二專的影子了(爆哭
就連MV也是,直接被Danny的帥暴擊,明明就快40歲了,為什麼穿個白T和牛仔褲可以這麼像30出頭(套句Mav編的話,有個帥主唱好處多多~)
TS這次依然在宣傳上做足了功夫,幾天前莫名發出很多高質量的studio pics倒數,再無預警把頭貼全換黑色
LOGO和網站也都回到Science and Faith的感覺,真的讓我們這些把第二專奉為世間第一神作的粉絲們感動到不行
(TS在訪問時有說他們希望Back to basis,很好很好,不要再玩那麼多電子混音了,那些留給夜店嗨歌寫手就好XD)
廢話說完了,以下正文
[Verse 1]
Why's it so hard to look me in the eye?
Playing with that cross that's on your chain
為什麼你玩著戴在身上的十字架,卻難以直視我的眼?
I know you only ever bite your lip
When it's something you're afraid to say
我知道你只有在面對害怕說出的話時,才會緊咬著雙唇
[Chorus]
Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
這會是最後一次凝視著你嗎?
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
這會是最後一次看著你離去嗎?
This is the last thing I would ever have done to ya
這本是我最不可能對你做出的事
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me
這本是我認為你最不可能會對我做出的事
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
我們都說會一起走到永遠,但又怎麼就迎來了終點?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hands tied
我試著握住你的手,卻又感覺被反綁一般
We said we'd be forever, now you'll never ever be mine (Oh-oh-oh)
我們都說會一起走到永遠,如今你卻再也不可能屬於我
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
我們都說會一起到永遠,但又怎麼做出最後的離開?
[Verse 2]
You've practiced leaving many times before
你曾經幾次試著分別
But I guess you'll get it right today
但我猜這次你是真的離開
Leaving that ring I gave you in the drawer
你留下我給的戒指在抽屜
But you're taking every single part of me
你卻帶走我每一寸的靈魂
[Chorus]
Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
這會是最後一次凝視著你嗎?
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
這會是最後一次看著你離去嗎?
This is the last thing I would ever have done to ya
這本是我最不可能對你做出的事
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me
這本是我認為你最不可能會對我做出的事
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? (Oh-oh-oh)
我們都說會持續到永遠,但又怎麼就來到了尾聲?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hands tied (Oh-oh-oh)
我試著握住你的手,卻又感覺被反綑一般
We said we'd be forever, now you'll never ever be mine (Oh-oh-oh)
我們都說會一起走到永遠,你如今卻再也不可能屬於我
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh
我們都說會持續到永遠,但又怎麼做出最後的離開?
[Bridge]
I think of that first kiss
That lead to the first night
Whoa, whoa
我想起了那個使我們共度第一晚的初吻
I think of that first tiff
That lead to the first fight
Whoa, whoa
Ooh
我想起了導致我們第一次爭吵的口角
[Pre-Chorus]
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
我們都說會一起走到永遠,但又怎麼就迎來了終點?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hands tied, mmm
我試著握住你的手,卻又感覺被反綁一般
[Chorus]
We always said we'd be forever, now you'll never ever be mine, ooh (Oh-oh-oh)
我們總說會一起走到永遠,你如今卻再也不可能屬於我
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh, ooh
我們都說會持續到永遠,但又怎麼就來到了尾聲?
I think of the first kiss
That lead to the first night
Whoa (First night), whoa (Whoa)
我想起了那個使我們共度第一晚的初吻
I think of that first tiff
That lead to the first fight
Whoa, whoa
我想起了導致我們第一次爭吵的口角
[Outro]
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
我們說會一起走到永遠,但又怎麼做出最後的離開?

喜歡玩一語雙關的The Script 果然又在歌詞下玩心大起,除了在last上玩動詞「延續」與形容詞「最後的」之外,也有一個特別想和大家分享的片語:
somebody's hands are tied 除了直譯手被綑綁在一起之外,也進而形容一個人身不由己、無能為力的狀態
所以 I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hands tied, mmm
這句歌詞也可以解讀成我試著挽留你,卻又感覺無能為力。
The Last Time MV發布的同一天在iTunes上架,一上架不到幾個小時就衝到第二名啦! 真不愧是The Script Family (拍手叫好
聽說新專會在今年十一月出,期待!!
小小的故事分享,在TS正式發布MV和單曲之前(9/20)的前天(9/18凌晨12點),Mark在IG限時動態裡開啟群聊功能,我和Mav編各自申請自己帳號加入失敗,想說進不去正常,他們那麼多粉絲。沒想到過幾秒後,Mark開啟第二次群聊,我用台灣粉專的帳號竟然加入了!!進去Group Chat後發現幾乎都是熟面孔,除了幾位根本和團員已經成為朋友之外的英國粉絲,也有南非、德國、尼泊爾、美國等等的小編加入(共計32位)
進入群聊後,Mark發出了一段錄音,點開是當時尚未發布的The Last Time前奏!! 全體一聽直接暴動!! Mark傳了之後又去開了新的群聊(總共三次)
當時我在群裡問說他們是否在其他群傳不同的片段,有粉絲證實是一樣的內容(Mav編表示說不定Mark看到之後覺得對齁!這樣或許更好玩XD)
因為那時有點晚了,亞洲地區小編們陸續離線,當我隔天再點開群聊時,發現Mark又在群組裡傳了兩次錄音檔。
前情提要:當時有人問說Glen去哪了? 有個Mark死忠粉絲回:Glen Sheehan 後意外開啟Gary Sheehan的梗之開關XD,Mark看到之後就錄了音傳到群裡:
1. Hey, this is Gary Sheehan here, waiting an airplane.
2. Gary is my favorite member of The Script, too. He's awesome.
(p.s.)Gary Sheehan的梗是來自於之前有人在維基百科上誤植Mark Sheehan的名字,甚至把吉他手Mark和鼓手Glen兩個人的名字搞混,從此以後就常被大家說The Script裡沒有Mark這個人XD
