初听“New Tomorrow”,立刻被它明丽清新的旋律所征服,有一种似曾相识的感觉。跳动的音符穿透耳膜直抵内心,仿佛炎炎夏季悠悠吹过的丝丝海风,即刻驱散内心的骚动和燥热。干净清朗的男声如同闪亮的流星划过深黛的夜空,令听者充满幻想和期冀。
这首来自丹麦流行乐队A Friend in London的单曲颇有英伦摇滚之风,干脆欢快却又流露出淡淡的无奈。歌曲一开始仿佛发出了召集令,“Come on boys, come on girls”,直截了当地告诉男孩女孩们要意识到自己的价值,因为“你们”是“宝石(diamonds)”,是“珍珠(pearls)”,并以长者的语气鼓励他们在这个疯狂的世界中“make a new tomorrow today (把握现在,创造未来)”,而这句歌词也反复出现,构成了歌曲的主旋律。
白云苍狗,世事无常。今日位高权重,怎知明天不会落魄潦倒。现在大红大紫,又怎敢保证永远绿树常青。今天流行的,明天也许就过时了;今天得意的,明天亦可能失意。正所谓“旧时王谢堂前燕,飞入寻常百姓家”。追求名利,计较得失,皆是徒劳。时间可以带走一切,却又为一切提供了无限可能。否极泰来,世界充满了辩证。看似无常的世事背后并不见得毫无规律可言,而无法预测的未来也并非完全不可控。生命就像陀螺,不停地旋转,我们终会从风华正茂走向年老体衰。生命的轮回如同花开花谢,花开的时候尽情绽放,花谢的时候方能落英缤纷,方能成就了无遗憾的青春。歌曲反复鼓励男孩女孩们:未来掌握在自己的手中,取决于自己的选择,而无往不胜的武器就是自己的主见。“往者不可谏,来者犹可追。”唯有把握现在,才能“make a new tomorrow”。
Come on boys, come on girls
In this crazy, crazy world
You're the diamonds, you're the pearls
Let's make a new tomorrow
Today
Wake up, slow down
Do nothing right now
Breathe in, breathe out
Did we forget how to live, to dream
And what it all means?
It's like we don't care
Who's hot, who's not
Who's got the right upside down?
Tonight, tomorrow
You're out of time, of style
You are back in the line
A race to nowhere
Come on boys, come on girls
In this crazy, crazy world
You're the diamonds, you're the pearls
Let's make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys
It's your future, it's your choice
And your weapon is your voice
Let's make a new tomorrow
Today
Turn left, turn right
Don't make up your mind
Your way to fame is all in vain
You get in the spot
Then you run out of luck
You're going nowhere
We can change it all today
Refrain
(Oooohh o-oh ooooh)
Come on boys
Let's make a new tomorrow
Refrain
