Rob Thomas 與2008年第一個失眠夜

零晨三點
北美中部還是一片漆黑的時候
我已經從睡夢中醒了過來
再也睡不著
想起昨夜因為心情不好
所以在吃完自己煮的火鍋料
沖個熱水澡之後
就坐在房間傻傻看著電視睡著
還好有開著電暖爐對自己狂吹
要不然在-12度下肯定感冒
醒來時
電視MTV播著Rob Thomas 的"Ever the same"MV
聽到時心情又頓時靜下來
果然...心情不好還是不適合聽這類的歌,呵~~

Rob Thomas是Matchbox20(火柴盒20合唱團)的主唱
雖然不是帥哥歌手,但是其略帶沙啞的聲音卻讓他們在1996年出道時就大受歡迎
之後在2000及2002年各出一張專輯,
都是叫好又叫座
而主唱Rob Thomas在2005年出了個人首張大碟"Something to be"
專輯一出就攻下美國專輯榜首週冠軍
之後在2007年Matchbox20也出了一張6首新曲加精選的專輯
其六首新歌也是不錯聽
不過...我還是喜歡Rob Thomas的個人專輯...
感覺比團體專輯更讚^_^

下面這一個MV是Matchbox20精選中的主打新曲

　　How Far We've Come

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
(我在世界末日時醒來)
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
(但感覺和平常早晨沒啥兩樣)
now i wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
(現在我納悶著未來可能逝去的生命究竟代表著什麼)
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
(車一小時才開了半哩路)
started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
(我卻開始呆視著揮手道別的旅客們)
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
(你能否告訴我我哪時最特別?)

chorus:
but i believe the world is burning to the ground
(我確信世界在燃燒著)
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
(而我們將會發現)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
(我確信一切終將會結束)
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
(而我們也會偽裝著)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)

i think it turned ten o'clock but i don't really know
(十點鐘了自己卻渾然不知)
then i can't remember caring for an hour or so
(甚至記不起是否專心了一小時)
started crying and i couldn't stop myself
(我流下止不住的眼淚)
i started running but there's no where to run to
(並且漫無目的的跑)
i sat down on the street and took a look at myself
(坐在大街上，看看自己)
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
(說著:老兄，你要去哪裡，你明知道世界最後都會通往地獄)
say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
(那就向可以道別的人說再見吧)

i believe the world is burning to the ground
(我確信世界在燃燒著)
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
(而我們將會發現)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
(我確信一切終將會結束)
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
(而我們也會偽裝著)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)
let's see how far we've come
(曾走過的漫漫長路)

its gone gone baby its all gone
(消失了，親愛的，一切都消失了)
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
(街角和家中空無一人)
it was cool cool, it was just all cool
(很好，親愛的，這樣很好)
now it's over for me and it's over for you
(你跟我都解脫了)
well its gone gone baby its all gone
(消失了，親愛的，一切都消失了)
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
