手稿樂隊(The Script)是一支來自愛爾蘭的搖滾樂隊,由主唱Danny O'Donoghue、光頭吉他手Mark Sheehan和鼓手Glen Power組成。該樂隊將節(jié)奏藍調(R&B)、靈魂樂(Soul)等黑人音樂加入到自己的音樂中,作品節(jié)奏感十足、極富感染力,實力堪比來自洛杉磯的魔力紅樂隊(Maroon 5)。難能可貴的是,他們繼承了永不妥協(xié)的搖滾精神,從不唱只有節(jié)奏而沒有內(nèi)涵的口水歌,而是通過音樂來批判社會弊端、宣揚人道主義、倡導愛與和平。這樣有靈魂的音樂,最是觸動人心。
該樂隊2014年發(fā)行的單曲《超級英雄》(Superheroes)就歌頌了那些平凡的超級英雄。主創(chuàng)團隊親赴南非首都約翰內(nèi)斯堡拍攝這首歌的MV。貧民窟里,西裝革履的黑人父親在清晨吻別熟睡的兒子,坐在卡車后面來到了工作場地,然后他小心地脫下西服,換上臟兮兮的工作服,走向了塵土飛揚的垃圾場——沒錯,他是這里的工人。在堆積成山的垃圾中,他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只玩具小馬。下班后,他重新?lián)Q上西服。兒子在橋上遠遠地看到了他,朝他飛奔過來。他抱起兒子,把那只玩具小馬送給了他,鏡頭定格在孩子純真的笑臉上。為什么一個撿垃圾的工人要穿著西服去上班?因為他是兒子心中的超級英雄,他想讓兒子相信自己有著一份體面的工作,想讓他為自己感到驕傲。
正如歌中所唱的那樣,“You've been working every day and night/That's how a superhero learns to fly/Every day, every hour/Turn the pain into power”。當你不分晝夜地工作,當你把悲痛化為力量,當你矢志不渝地追逐夢想,這就是超級英雄如何學會飛翔的。Superhero并不一定是改變世界的超人,所有不向現(xiàn)實妥協(xié)、努力拼搏的平凡人都是超級英雄。向生活中那些平凡的超級英雄致敬!
All her life, she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet's dream
For a profit on the street
Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
All his life, he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show
'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
* When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power) *
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You'll see fire in their eyes
'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
△ (Refrain *)
(Power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power △
★ She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode ★
(Refrain ★)
(Refrain △ )
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
