The Best Day出自Taylor Swift 的專輯《Fearless》。Taylor Swift于1989年出生于美國(guó),受曾為歌劇演員的外婆影響,自小便和音樂結(jié)下不解之緣。她所創(chuàng)作的絕大多數(shù)歌曲都是自己所熟悉的題材。專輯《Fearless》就像是從一個(gè)高中女生的日記中摘錄的片段。

歌手簡(jiǎn)介

泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift),1989年12月13日出生于美國(guó)賓夕法尼亞州,美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村音樂、流行音樂創(chuàng)作女歌手、演員、慈善家。

背景

她用她的歌聲講述著學(xué)校里種種情景,球場(chǎng)、啦啦隊(duì)、角落里的座位、舞會(huì)上的美麗邂逅……這些熟悉的場(chǎng)景和平常的故事被她用聲音演繹得無比真切。出自其中的The Best Day是一首寫給母親的溫馨贊歌,與專輯中其它抒發(fā)小女生感情的歌曲相比,The Best Day顯得尤為獨(dú)特和感人。

這首歌是獻(xiàn)Taylor母親Andrea的,是Taylor在錄制第二張專輯Fearless的時(shí)候想對(duì)母親表達(dá)自己的愛和感恩。這首歌是以講故事的方式敘述的。剛開始的時(shí)候她說到她當(dāng)時(shí)才5歲,那個(gè)時(shí)候的她什么都不懂,只覺得母親是世界上最勇敢的人。后來到了13歲,她被同學(xué)排擠,很委屈,但她的母親對(duì)她格外溫和,同她談心……這就是"the best day"的事。她以樹木的季節(jié)變更來表示她的成長(zhǎng),而到歌曲最后表示她現(xiàn)在長(zhǎng)大了,也懂得了很多道理,但是有一點(diǎn)沒有變化,就是她永遠(yuǎn)愛她的母親,永遠(yuǎn)感激她。

在Taylor十二三歲的時(shí)候,因?yàn)閷?duì)鄉(xiāng)村音樂的執(zhí)著,又成為當(dāng)?shù)氐男∶餍牵艿綄W(xué)校同學(xué)的排擠,她感覺很委屈很孤單,她的媽媽帶著她遠(yuǎn)離他們住的小鎮(zhèn)去散散心。

當(dāng)然在歌中Taylor也表達(dá)了對(duì)爸爸和弟弟的熱愛,說我有個(gè)很棒的爸爸,他的力量讓我變得更加強(qiáng)壯。上帝親吻我的小弟弟,他哪方面都比我強(qiáng)。

這首歌是Taylor瞞著媽媽錄的,MV也是Taylor翻遍小時(shí)候的家庭錄像自己剪輯的,為了給媽媽一個(gè)驚喜。當(dāng)Taylor媽媽第一次聽到這首歌,看到家庭錄像的時(shí)候都沒有反應(yīng)過來那是Taylor在為她唱歌。

歌詞

英文歌詞

I'm five years old it's getting cold I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides look now the sky is gold

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall

I know that you're not scared of anything at all

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away

But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away

And we talk and window shop till I forgot all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school

But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you

Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel ok

But I know I had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father

His strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little brother

Inside and out he's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run

and I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three

You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs

Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

Now I know why all the trees change in the fall

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes

Staying back and watching me shineand I didn't know if you knew

So I'm taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today
