Rain是Freedom Child中推出的第一首主打歌曲,記得在他們全球同步到數的前幾天小的興奮到有點睡不著。因為睽違三年終於有新歌了啊!!!
沒想到公布之後讓我有點失望,感覺只是流於大眾取向的POP Music而已(電音比例比以前重很多)。但多聽幾次之後,發現The Script的精神仍在其中,這只是他們冒險嘗試的新方向之一而已。
之後也就覺得越聽越好聽~
(為什麼會說是冒險嘗試呢?因為在公布後,我上網爬了文,發現有蠻多支持很多年的樂迷都沒辦法接受the script的曲風改變。說有多失望就有多失望)
不過The Script早就預料到這件事了,所以在宣傳訪問時說道(只節錄了一些話而已)
‘We wanted to change our sound a push our sound a bit. It’s either adapt, change or die in this industry. It’s very difficult in this industry.
‘We’ve never had the word Dancing next to the word The Script before – it would be dad dancing!’ the lads joked. ‘So we’ve always been the kind of singalong band, the pub band that everybody had that had those anthems but never really something that got everyone on their feet and moved.
‘We always want something different in our lives. We’re always hoping our songs penetrate different markets and gain new fans, we’re an ambitious band and I think it’s nice to think that way.’
And they’ve achieved that with Rain.
‘With Rain we just decided we needed something a bit lighter, you can’t just walk into a party of people and start with a heavy topic. It’s nice to have a bit of escapism that people can bob their head to and not be so serious about but when people peel the layers of the song they realise that lyrically we’ve gone deep but on the surface we wanted people to have a bit of fun.’
意思大概是
我們想改變(風格),在這個音樂界裡,只有改變或是死亡可以選擇,這是非常殘酷的一件事。
我們從未把跳舞這個詞與The Script聯想在一起,因為這樣會變成爸爸舞XD(Mark和Glen都已經結婚了)
因為我們通常是伴唱(團唱)型的樂團,說到夜店型的樂團所傳唱的旋律是大家耳熟能詳的,但這種旋律卻沒辦法讓人們學到什麼(鼓勵人生那類的
我們一直都想要在人生中有些不同的改變,總是希望我們的歌能夠滲入不同市場並吸引新的粉絲。我們是個有野心的樂團,如果這樣想的話我覺得還不錯。(忘記是mark還是誰說的
所以我們完成了Rain這首歌。
Rain這首歌,我們想增加一點光明面,你不能只是走進人群中開始談論一個很沉重的議題。給予人們一點幻想的空間(逃避現實),讓他們不必太嚴肅而盡情擺頭舞動是一件不錯的事,當人們剝去歌曲的表面會發現我們想傳達的深沉情感,但光從表面而論我們想讓人們享些樂趣。(所以才是夜店風嗎XD
好啦,前提提要又說了這麼多,開始翻譯啦
Woke up this morning, can't shake the thunder from last night
You left with no warning and took the summer from my life
I gave you my everything, now my world it don't seem right
Can we just go back to being us again?
All the lovers with umbrellas always pass me by
It's like I'm living in the dark
And my heart's turned cold since you left my life
And no matter where I go
Girl, I know if I'm alone, there'll be no blue sky
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
All it does is rain, rain, rain down on me
Each drop is pain, pain, pain when you leave
It's such a shame we fucked it up, you and me
'Cause baby, when you're gone
All it does is rain
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it feels like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause baby, when you're gone
All it does is rain
