经典励志英文歌曲:《We Are Young》

 Give me a second I

 I need to get my story straight

 My friends are in the bathroom

 Getting higher than the Empire State

 My lover she's waiting for me

 Just across the bar

 My seats been taken by some sunglasses

 Asking 'bout a scar

 And I know I gave it to you months ago

 I know you're trying to forget

 But between the drinks and subtle things

 The holes in my apologies

 You know I'm trying hard to take it back

 So if by the time the bar closes

 And you feel like falling down

 I'll carry you home

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 Now I know that I'm not

 All that you got

 I guess that I

 I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart

 But our friends are back

 So let's raise a cup

 Cause I found someone to carry me home

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's the set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 Carry me home tonight

 Just carry me home tonight

 Carry me home tonight

 Just carry me home tonight

 The world is on my side

 I have no reason to run

 So will someone come and carry me home tonight

 The angels never arrived

 But I can hear the choir

 So will someone come and carry me home

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 Tonight

 We are young

 So let's set the world on fire

 We can burn brighter

 Than the sun

 So if by the time the bar closes

 And you feel like falling down

 I'll carry you home tonight

 给我点时间

 让我理清思绪

 死党醉倒在洗手间

 已经悄然入天

 爱人在酒吧那头等候

 墨镜女占了我的位置

 谈起你我的情伤

 我知道我另你陷入情网

 我知道你难忘伤痛

 然而在酒醉金迷间

 我的道歉如此蹩脚

 我想努力挽回你

 当酒吧打烊

 你的脚步蹒跚

 我会带你回家

 今夜

 花样年华的我们

 将世界点燃

 另骄阳失色

 今夜

 花样年华的我们

 将世界点燃

 另骄阳失色

 今夜带我回家

 请今夜带我回家

 天使并未降临

 但我听到天籁之声

 有人将我带回了家

 今夜

 花样年华的我们

 将世界点燃

 另骄阳失色

 今夜

 花样年华的我们

 将世界点燃

 另骄阳失色

 当酒吧打烊

 你的脚步蹒跚

 我今夜会带你回家

 We Are Young是美国独立流行乐团Fun.于2011年9月发行的一支单曲,单曲收录在乐队第二张录音室专辑《Some Nights》中。此曲曾被Glee翻唱,翻唱版本首发时登上了Billboard第12位,并在itunes单曲下载榜上排行第一。原版在Billboard Hot 100榜冠军位置停留六周,在2012 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End中排列第三,并获第55届(2013)格莱美年度歌曲奖(Song Of The Year),并获得年度制作,最佳流行乐队/组合提名。

 简单的说,《We Are Young》就是一首充满正能量和积极意义的励志歌曲。也难怪它常常被许多美剧拿来做配乐歌曲,它高昂的情调和戏剧化的张力,也让这首歌曲既有丰富的听觉震撼力,也有许多独立乐团最为缺乏的精气神。听这首歌曲,就像当年听Queen的《We Will Rock You》或者《We Are the Champions》。

 《We Are Young》这首单曲由乐队主唱Nate Ruess和他们《Some Nights》的制作人Jeff Bhasker***同创作完成。而这首作品的女声演绎,则来自于另一位出生于堪萨斯的黑人女歌手Janelle Monae。

 歌曲的创作可以追溯到2011年2月。某日,Nate Ruess和Jeff Bhasker相约于纽约东城Bowery酒店的酒吧,商谈音乐事宜。而为了这次会面,Nate Ruess已经是第三次相约,前两次则都被Jeff Bhasker放了鸽子。而这一次,Jeff Bhasker在和Beyonce完成工作后,终于匆匆赶来和Nate Ruess相见,但只提供了十分钟的.会谈时间。不过,Nate Ruess关于将流行和嘻哈融合的创作想法,却很快引起了他的注意。之后,Nate Ruess将Jeff Bhasker请到了自己的客房,向他亲自演示了这种想法的成果,即流行、嘻哈和电子融合的效果,而主旋律部分,甚至还有一些Beyonce作品的线条。第二天,Jeff Bhasker就把Nate Ruess请到了他纽约的工作室。并最终完成了这首歌曲的母带。
