【听歌练听力】A Bad Dream

想到无数正在奋斗的人们。

这是英国摇滚乐队Keane 所唱的一首歌，2007年出品。据说这首歌借鉴了爱尔兰诗人Yeats所写的描写第一次世界大战一首诗，诗开头的几句是：

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;

Yeats为什么会这样写？因为战争初期爱尔兰还属于英国，所以爱尔兰士兵要为英国打仗去。后来爱尔兰独立并成立国家，北方的几个郡仍留在英国，形成“北爱尔兰”，因此英国的全称为United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland。下面歌词里的那句：And you that I defend, I do not love  也有它自己的意义吧。

Why do I have to fly
Over every (       ) up and down the line?
I'll (       ) in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (      )

Where will I meet my (      )?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to fight
And when will I meet my (      )?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (     )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (       )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

• 我问过几次rock与pop在作曲,配器有什么不同,都没得到明确答案,二者确实很难分辨,只好凭感觉去判断 -移花接木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 13:56:25

• 这首歌虽然比较轻柔,但我的确感受到了摇滚的因素, rock不一定比pop更重,更快. -移花接木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 13:58:32

• 我也不太懂，只见到有一处说他这属于“soft rock". 到底摇滚音乐的定义是什么，还要请教。 -前川- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 14:25:17
