上面照片(来自Wiki)墙上有一段娱乐圈里的一句名言:
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." 俺借题发挥一下!
不得不承认生活中真有这种情况,想“润”却无法“润”,由此可能产生一种莫名的无望感,悲有时候莫过于此,在音乐里可以强烈地感受到它,比如摇滚歌曲《Something better》(The broken View乐队),《15 minutes of Fame》(Citizen Soldier 乐队)等等。然而,换个角度,每当还有一点期望,“润”还留着一丝丝积极改变的味道。
《Something better》by The broken View
著名的乡村组合歌手Sugarland女主唱Jennifer Nettle 和摇滚歌手Matt Nathanson演绎了一曲《Run》,歌曲中她的温婉、率真、宏亮、圆润的好声音,醉人心扉, 成了一首十分火辣的有摇滚味的乡村歌曲,在较为保守的乡村音乐界里的确少见,歌名翻译成“润”未尝不可。她的歌声经常出现在乡村音乐电台里,比如播放她的《Baby girl》次数是其他女歌手望尘莫及的,以至于心生疑问,她的好歌很多,比如《Life is sweet》,怎么偏爱这首《Baby girl》?”

相对功成名就的歌手Jennifer Nettle而言,歌手Whitney Milker属于刚刚出道不久,却展现了一段跨界传奇:获2012年美国小姐称号后,转战MMA(自由搏击),然后追逐乡村音乐梦想,一种积极的“润”。最近,她发布了第二首单曲《15 minutes of fame》,WiKi发现,歌名来源于Andy Warhol(电影人)的名言:“未来,每个人都可以扬名立万一刻钟”("In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." ),这句名言贴在一建筑的墙壁上(如图)。其他音乐人也创作了很多不同风格的同名歌曲,如前面提到的摇滚乐队Citizen Soldier的同名歌曲。当今网络、网红时代,一夜暴红不再稀奇了。此前,Whitney Milker已经发了“试水”单曲《Diamond Country》,几天天前,在YouTube上又推出新歌《Nobody 》,看好她在乡村音乐之路上的发展。她曾经对杂志《People》谈到步入乡村音乐的原因时说:“音乐让我唱出自己害怕表达的情感,…,把自己的真实放在音乐里,看看究竟会怎样。” 其实,她讲出了一些人的想法,把自己的喜怒哀乐融入音乐里,完成了一次又一次的愉快的“Run”。

后记:
最早接触音乐中“run”是一首来自非洲的歌曲《African Dream》, 在非洲大陆无人不知,这首歌由Vicky Sampson 首唱,1996年在南非举行的非洲足球杯开、闭幕式都演唱了这首歌。
除歌曲旋律优美,歌词委婉唱到“Run”这个词,
All I hear are the voices, telling me to go
But I could never run
…
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
歌曲表达了从无处可Run,到不再需要Run的简单、有点卑微的梦想。仔细想想,或许梦想就这么简单
这里有两个歌曲版本
原唱
Andre Rieu版本
African Dream(歌词来自网络)
Sometimes alone in the evening
I look outside my window
At the shadows in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying
The darkness multiplying
And weary hearts denied
All I feel is my heart beat
Beating like a drum, beating with confusion
All I hear are the voices, telling me to go
But I could never run
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream, is dream that we can follow
Now when the night begins to fall
I listen for your call, I listen for you heartbeat
Alone my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion, a shadow in the night
All I want is for our hearts to be beating just as one
To silence the confusion
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream is a dream that we can follow
And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My African dream is an end to the confusion
Mawetbu we Afrika (This is my African dream)
Nine kusasa Elittlbe
Igugu e Afrika (Yeah, let us left our voices)
Sizoni landela ma Afrika (Sing in harmony, you and me yeah yeah)
Siyayibona Intlanzi (I want us to live as one)

Iguguletbu le Afrika (No more wars, no more wars, no more guns)
Ukupbela Kwenkinga Zonke
Mawetbu we Afrika
Nine kusasa Elittlbe (This is for love)
Igugu e Afrika (This is your love)
Sizoni landela ma Afrika
Siyayibona Intlanzi
Ukukbanya Kwentokozo (Let's for fight for peace, love and harmony)
Iguguletbu le Afrika
