瑞典DJ音樂人 Avicii 在 2014.12.1的時候發行了這兩首EP,兩首都有屬於自己的背景故事,
而在聽了這兩首歌以後,除了對Avicii有興趣以外,同時被他這幾首歌迷住了。
共同點是唱歌的部分都不長,大部分都是Instrument,歌詞簡單,背後的故事卻可以套用在任何人身上。
是否都有那麼一個死黨,共同許下願望,又是否有人在你背後支持著,讓你能逛闖蕩一片天地?
The Days先是用黑色噴漆將歌詞一句句塗在牆上,畫出了Avicii的樣子,再用各式鮮豔的顏色潑在上面,從簡單的黑白,變成彩色的,或許就是因為有了那些年的死黨好友們,才能揮灑出彩色的人生。
The Nights則是看著兒子帶著爸爸嘗試各種運動、各種活動,就像歌詞唱的,趁年輕的時候,去闖出自己的生活吧。
The Days
Under the tree where the grass don’t grow
在樹下那草無法生長的地方
We made a promise to never get old
承諾我們永不老去
You had a chance and you took it on me
你曾有個機會,但你將他交給我
And I made a promise that I couldn’t keep
然後我做了一個我無法達成的承諾Heart ache, heart break
心痛、心碎
All over town
充滿整座城市
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
當你一走近的時候,如同開關被啟動一般
And I’m in pieces, pick me up, and put me together
我變成滿地碎片,但你將其拾起,重新拼出一個我These are the days we’ve been waiting for
這就是我們一直在等待的日子
And days like these who couldn’t ask for more
像這樣的日子無法要求更多
Keep them coming
就讓它們來吧
Cause we’re not done yet
因為我們還沒完呢
These are the days we won’t regret
那些我們不會後悔的日子
These are the days we won’t forget
那些我們不曾遺忘的日子These are the days we’ve been waiting for
這就是我們一直在等待的日子
Rattle the cage and slam that door
震盪籠子並將門甩上
And the world is calling us but not just yet
這世界正呼喚我們,但我們還沒準備好
These are the days we won’t regret
那些我們不會後悔的日子
These are the days we won’t forget
那些我們不曾遺忘的日子[Verse 2]
Out on the midnight
就在那午夜時
The wild ones howl
野性的呼號
The last of the lost boys have thrown in the towel
剩下的男孩早已被拋棄在後
We used to believe we were stars aligned
正如我們曾相信將如星星一樣永亮
You made wish and I fell out of time
你許了個願,但我卻沒了時間Curfew, cut through
時光飛逝
All over town
穿透了全城
You make me bleed when I look up
當我仰望的時候
And you’re not around
當你不在的時候,便會讓我撞的遍體麟傷
But I’m in pieces, pick me up, and put me together
我卻變成滿地碎片,但你將其拾起,讓我重生These are the days we’ve been waiting for
這就是我們一直在等待的日子
And days like these who couldn’t ask for more
像這樣的日子無法要求更多
Keep them coming
就讓它們來吧
Cause we’re not done yet
因為我們還沒完呢
These are the days we won’t regret
那些我們不會後悔的日子
These are the days we won’t forget
那些我們不曾遺忘的日子These are the days we’ve been waiting for
這就是我們一直在等待的日子
Neither of us knows what’s in store
沒人知道裡面藏著甚麼
You just roll your window down and place your bets
你就只是將窗戶搖下,然後賭了一把
These are the days we won’t regret
那些我們不會後悔的日子
These are the days we won’t forget
那些我們不曾遺忘的日子And these are the days
而這就是那些日子
And these are the days
而這就是那些日子
The Nights
Hey, once upon a younger year

When all our shadows disappeared
那時我們可沒這麼黑暗
The animals inside came out to play
野性的天性都會跑出來玩
Hey, when face to face with all our fears

將你的名字印在那些閃爍的星星上吧
He said, “Go venture far beyond the shores.
他說:「闖出那些限制吧
Don’t forsake this life of yours.
