上麵照片(來自Wiki)牆上有一段娛樂圈裏的一句名言:
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." 俺借題發揮一下!
不得不承認生活中真有這種情況,想“潤”卻無法“潤”,由此可能產生一種莫名的無望感,悲有時候莫過於此,在音樂裏可以強烈地感受到它,比如搖滾歌曲《Something better》(The broken View樂隊),《15 minutes of Fame》(Citizen Soldier 樂隊)等等。然而,換個角度,每當還有一點期望,“潤”還留著一絲絲積極改變的味道。
《Something better》by The broken View
著名的鄉村組合歌手Sugarland女主唱Jennifer Nettle 和搖滾歌手Matt Nathanson演繹了一曲《Run》,歌曲中她的溫婉、率真、宏亮、圓潤的好聲音,醉人心扉, 成了一首十分火辣的有搖滾味的鄉村歌曲,在較為保守的鄉村音樂界裏的確少見,歌名翻譯成“潤”未嚐不可。她的歌聲經常出現在鄉村音樂電台裏,比如播放她的《Baby girl》次數是其他女歌手望塵莫及的,以至於心生疑問,她的好歌很多,比如《Life is sweet》,怎麽偏愛這首《Baby girl》?”

相對功成名就的歌手Jennifer Nettle而言,歌手Whitney Milker屬於剛剛出道不久,卻展現了一段跨界傳奇:獲2012年美國小姐稱號後,轉戰MMA(自由搏擊),然後追逐鄉村音樂夢想,一種積極的“潤”。最近,她發布了第二首單曲《15 minutes of fame》,WiKi發現,歌名來源於Andy Warhol(電影人)的名言:“未來,每個人都可以揚名立萬一刻鍾”("In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." ),這句名言貼在一建築的牆壁上(如圖)。其他音樂人也創作了很多不同風格的同名歌曲,如前麵提到的搖滾樂隊Citizen Soldier的同名歌曲。當今網絡、網紅時代,一夜暴紅不再稀奇了。此前,Whitney Milker已經發了“試水”單曲《Diamond Country》,幾天天前,在YouTube上又推出新歌《Nobody 》,看好她在鄉村音樂之路上的發展。她曾經對雜誌《People》談到步入鄉村音樂的原因時說:“音樂讓我唱出自己害怕表達的情感,…,把自己的真實放在音樂裏,看看究竟會怎樣。” 其實,她講出了一些人的想法,把自己的喜怒哀樂融入音樂裏,完成了一次又一次的愉快的“Run”。

後記:
最早接觸音樂中“run”是一首來自非洲的歌曲《African Dream》, 在非洲大陸無人不知,這首歌由Vicky Sampson 首唱,1996年在南非舉行的非洲足球杯開、閉幕式都演唱了這首歌。
除歌曲旋律優美,歌詞委婉唱到“Run”這個詞,
All I hear are the voices, telling me to go
But I could never run
…
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
歌曲表達了從無處可Run,到不再需要Run的簡單、有點卑微的夢想。仔細想想,或許夢想就這麽簡單
這裏有兩個歌曲版本
原唱
Andre Rieu版本
African Dream(歌詞來自網絡)
Sometimes alone in the evening
I look outside my window
At the shadows in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying
The darkness multiplying
And weary hearts denied
All I feel is my heart beat
Beating like a drum, beating with confusion
All I hear are the voices, telling me to go
But I could never run
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream, is dream that we can follow
Now when the night begins to fall
I listen for your call, I listen for you heartbeat
Alone my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion, a shadow in the night
All I want is for our hearts to be beating just as one
To silence the confusion
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream is a dream that we can follow
And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My African dream is an end to the confusion
Mawetbu we Afrika (This is my African dream)
Nine kusasa Elittlbe
Igugu e Afrika (Yeah, let us left our voices)
Sizoni landela ma Afrika (Sing in harmony, you and me yeah yeah)

Iguguletbu le Afrika (No more wars, no more wars, no more guns)
