歌曲簡介
《100 Years》是一首由美國歌手Five For Fighting創作並演唱的英文歌曲。這首歌曲作為第一首單曲收錄在2004年的專輯《The Battle for Everything》中。整首歌中鋼琴分量很重,從頭貫穿至尾,如果沒有鋼琴,這首歌一定會減色不少。另外值得一提的是,Bass作為陪襯,構成另一條線,穩重的節奏,沉厚的音色,讓人有一種安全感!Five for figinhtg動情的演唱,最是讓人無法忘懷,略帶沙啞的聲音,時而高亢,時而尖細,令人回味無窮。其魅力在於,當你聽完之後,他的聲音仍然在腦海蕩漾,揮之不去。
歌詞
100 Years
詞曲:Five For Fighting
演唱:Five For Fighting
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
歌手簡介
1997年,美國創作型歌手John Ondrasik用Five For Fighting作藝名發行了他的首張個人專輯《Message for Albert》,實際上,Five For Fighting這個詞原來是曲棍球比賽中的一項規則,指被裁判罰下場5分鐘等待重新上場的隊員。
Five For Fighting被認為是一個樂團,可是實際上只有一個成員——John Ondrasik。Ondrasik認為自己只是歌手和作曲家,可是實際上他也是吉他手和鋼琴家。
John Ondrasik出生並成長於洛杉磯的San Fernando Valley地區,母親是一位鋼琴教師。從兩歲開始,John Ondrasik就開始跟隨母親學習音樂。在13歲那年,已經精通鋼琴演奏的John Ondrasik開始自學了吉他。之後,John Ondrasik開始嘗試自己作曲。興趣廣泛的John Ondrasik甚至還專門學習過唱歌劇,但過了不久,他就發現歌劇並不是他真正喜歡的,最吸引他的還是比利·喬(Billy Joel),旅行樂隊(Journey),埃爾頓·約翰(Elton John),史蒂夫·旺德(Stevie Wonder)和Earth, Wind & Fire樂隊的音樂。
