爱华网前几天看了第52届格莱美颁奖典礼。感想只有两个字——震撼。
给我印象最深的不是LadyGaga极具个性的开场，不是Beyonce充满重金属味道的霸气，也不是pink优雅如画的空中维亚，而是这首史上阵容最豪华的《21guns》。
《21 guns》以反战为主题，“Lay down your arms”“ Giveup the fight”“Throw up your arms into the sky，you andI”在这首歌中重复了四次，由第一次的女声二重，到第二次的green day和百老汇剧目“Americanidiot”的演员合唱，再到最后两次和声也加入，全场齐唱，呈现无穷的爆发力。
最后全场高举的双手给人莫名的力量，让我不禁想起前几天在《raise yourvoice》里看到的一句话：
Music is ...a higher revelation than allwisdom and philosophy.（音乐是比所有智慧和哲学都更重要的发现)
这是贝多芬说的一句话，也许很多人认为这出于他对音乐的偏爱。
但不得不承认，这首歌让被物欲麻痹的心灵有了片刻的复苏。
Do you know what's worth fightingfor,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins.
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins.
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up thefight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
