Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
总是有那样的一些歌,歌词如诗,让人沉醉。
今天分享的这首「Wake me up when September ends」,本以为是一首乡村音乐,查过它的背景后才知道,原来这是一首反战歌曲。
这首歌的MV源于一个发生在美国的真实故事。故事的主人公Evan Rachel Wood和Jamie Bell饰演一对情侣,他们是如此的相爱,一直梦想着拥有自己幸福的未来。
直到有一天,战争打响了。Jamie应征去伊拉克,因为参与伊拉克战争的士兵每人都会获得1万美元的补助金。
他是那种有着自己理想的男生,可在残酷的战争面前,仅存的生机或许早已成为战争的炮灰,随着弥漫的硝烟、战友的牺牲和希望的磨灭被一起掩埋。
不幸的事终于发生了,在一次街道的战斗中,美军遭到顽强的抵抗,Jamie中弹身亡。
在伊拉克的土地上他不仅仅放弃了自己的未来,而且留下了自己的生命。
没过多久,远在美国的Evan听到了噩耗,失声痛哭,她在墓地望向远方,喃喃诉说着自己心中永恒不变的信仰:
"Just want you know, no matter what, you always have somebody here for you. I'm never gonna leave you."
九月逝去的时候,请唤醒我。
可惜,远方的那个人,永远都唤不醒了。
