[音樂] 4 Non Blondes - What's Up

這首歌應該很多人都聽過, 我也聽過好幾次, 不過每次好像都是不同的人唱的, 大部分應該都是演唱會或是live band的時候, 一直沒有去研究原唱究竟是何方神聖, 前幾天偶然聽到電台在放送原唱版本, 趕快紀錄起來好好的研究一下.

4 Non Blondes 是一支1989年成立於美國的搖滾樂團, 那時候我才準備要上小學吧, 不過在1994年的時後他們就解散了, 難怪我到現在才認識這個樂團, 不過我想我應該有聽過當時的主唱Linda Perry 製作或寫的歌, 因為樂團解散之後她幫很多大咖製作或是寫歌, 像是  Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love 和 Kelly Clarkson

這首歌是1993年的時候發行的, 不知道他們那時候有沒有想到會成為一首經典歌曲, 被到處傳唱, 原唱的版本聽起來有一種懷舊的感覺, 覺得節奏好像有慢一點點, 有一種不同的感受, 唯一不變的就是一樣好聽  hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey yea yea

25 years of my life and still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination.
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made for this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step
Outside and I take deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream to the top of my lungs
What's goin' on?

And I say hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on

Oooh, oo! ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo
Oooh! ooo-aah-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo Whats up?

And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step
Outside and I take deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream to the top of my lungs
What's goin' on


And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on

And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
Oooh, oo! ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ahh-haa


25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo
