音乐咖啡厅:Travis - Before You Were Young

相关介绍：无独有偶，Travis主唱Fran Healy和乐坛前辈U2一样，为了音乐这条不归路，放下自尊向父母开口借钱，结果海利太太这6百英镑成了最有价值的投资，从750张自制单曲CD变成1000万张畅销专辑，也造就了英国摇滚最重要的乐团之一「Travis」。 有人说，没有Travis当先锋铺好路，Coldplay、Keane、Snow Patrol这些后起之秀的乐团，就不可能一路走来顺畅。来自苏格兰摇滚镇Glasgow的Travis，成军于90年代末期，在当时充斥着舞曲和电音的英国排行榜，Travis以独特的清新英式摇滚风格争得一席之地。2000年Travis以第二张大碟『The Man Who』勇夺全英音乐奖「最佳专辑」，更于2000/2001连续两年拿下全英音乐奖「最佳乐团」的殊荣。2002年，Travis因为鼓手跳水意外险些丧命，团员间也因为急速成名的压力而产生裂缝，几乎濒临解散危机，Coldplay就是此时在美国迅速崛起。而同样在英国举足轻重的Keane，在2004年甚至还是Travis巡回演唱会的暖场乐团呢。

歌词：

Song：Before You Were Young
Artist：Travis

In the days before you were young
We used to sit in the mourning sun
We used to turn the radio on
What happened?
We'd see our lies in the eyes of faith
And take our cradles¹ to the grave
Well even then we never saved
From danger

And if you ever leave me come
I will be there waiting
Waiting for you know i will
I love you for ever
I'll never say never

Bet i've only got two hands
And i'll never learn to dance
I'll never get a second chance
Whatever
I'll take the breath away from your sighs
And wipe the tears away from your eyes
And hope the fire never dies
Inside you

And if you ever leave me come
I will be there waiting
Waiting for you know i will
I love you

In the days before you were young
We used to sit in the mourning sun
We used to turn the radio on
What happened?
