Travis(旅行)乐队是由4个来自苏格兰的大“男孩”组成的摇滚乐队。特拉维斯(Travis),被认为是1990年代末英国最为优秀的传统摇滚乐队之一。
正如他们名字所代表的意思一样,旅行,他们的歌大多有一种轻装上阵的愉悦和放松之感,甜美动人的旋律像浸满爽朗的吉他果酱,很少乐迷能抵抗得住这种没有任何危险的诱惑。而主唱Fran Healey那有点慵懒的成熟声线更像大不列颠帝国即将沉睡的夕阳一样惹人遐想。
这首歌的前奏,不同于往常听到的有规律的音调,而是一种奇特新颖的吉他旋律,有点不按常理出牌的小调皮。歌词清新明媚,适合于阳光灿烂的偷闲时光,恋恋旧日,轻轻摇摆,尽情享受心的旅程。
歌词
Travis - Walking in the Sun
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
Oh oh oh oh
Well it's easy to see from the far
And it's easy to be on your guard
But it's harder just to be who you are
Oh oh oh oh
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
If you think of all the things that you feel
All the voices in your head that you hear
It's a mystery that we are all still holding on
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
If you see me hit the ground
Don't come near, don't make a sound
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
