人生苦短理当及时行乐,但是,生活上的诸多事物却常教人触景生情,对于在洛杉矶圣法兰多山谷地区长大的John Ondrasik而言,他就希望能结合一群音乐人与非音乐人的力量热情地去实践歌曲与意念的真谛,于是他就以Five For Fighting作为笔名/艺名,融合自己身为钢琴家/讽刺作家/时事评论家的多重身分,藉着Five For Fighting(*原是曲棍球罚则,指的是被罚下场五分钟等候再度上场的球员)隐喻挑战音乐工业这只庞然巨兽,努力地让别人听见自己的歌曲,却能依然保有不平凡与诚实的精神,同时也是Ondrasik抒怀、呐喊与谴责态度的表征。

【a day a song~2011.5.9】Five For Fighting——Tuesday

English

One year like any old other year
In a week like any week
Monday lying down
Half Asleep

People doing what people do
Loving
working and getting through
No portraits on the walls
Of Seventh Avenue

Then Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The Letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again

The thing about memories
They're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls
Left upon her blade

Is Monday coming back
That's what Mondays do
They Turn and Turn around
Afraid to see it through

Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The Letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again

Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When?
Cold and dressed in red
How could I forget
Tuesday Came and went
Like a Helicopter overhead
Will she come again

中文

这年如同任何一年

这周如同任何一周
在星期一躺下，半梦半醒
人们重复同样的事情
爱着，工作着, 还有
穿过墙上没有画像的第七大道

星期二来了又去 ;
如同在头顶盘旋的飞机
用冰冷红字写着地址的信，述说着她的离去
星期二来了又去 `
9月
她何时会再来

关于记忆
它们是清晰的，却注定会消逝
除了搁浅在她刀刃上的灵魂
星期一将如往常一样到来

它们周而复始 ?
看它们如此的流逝让我害怕 ?

星期二来了又去

如同在头顶盘旋的飞机
用冰冷红字写着地址的信，述说着她的离去
星期二来了又去
9月
她何时会再来
星期二来了又去
9月，何时？
冰冷的红色字迹
我又如何忘记
星期二来了又去
像盘旋在头顶的飞机
她会回来吗？
