Brad Paisley -- Letter To Me
                   
写给自己的信

If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare

And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me

At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you really should thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's just polishin' you 'til you shine

And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me

You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can

And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see

If I could write a letter to me
To me

 

如果我能写封信,
寄回给十七岁时的自己。
那里有一个啤酒罐和一本“花花公子”,没人知道你把它们藏在那儿。
然后我要说那很令你难受,
当你交往了七个月的女孩儿与你分手,
是啊我知道你好喜欢她,那似乎不很公平,
但我只能说那是短暂的痛苦而且也极少发生。

哦,你有着美好的未来,
但我知道十七岁时很少有谁人去想周五晚上以后的事儿。
她不适合你,
你却依然心如刀绞,
不知能否活下去。
但最终你能熬过这一切而且你会看到
你仍然好好的并写这封信给我。

在Tomlinson与第八街的交口处,
停车信号时一定要将车停住而不仅仅是点一脚刹车。
当你和Bridgett约会要确信油箱是加满的,
再仔细想想,别太在意了,那个女孩儿并不很酷。
每一次的争执,
就只当你是错了而爸爸是对的。
而且你真要好好感谢Brinkman老师,
她为你花费了那么多额外的时间,
好像她看到了地下的钻石,
她不停地打磨直到你闪闪发光。

哦,你有着美好的未来,
但我知道十七岁时很少有谁去想周五晚上以后的事儿。
今晚有个篝火晚会,
但你会留在家里,因为一旦代数考不好,
爸妈不会饶过你。
相信我吧,你会勉强得个C,
而你仍然好好的并写这封信给我。

你前途似锦,
你将结识许多新朋友。
你该看看你的妻儿,
最后我要说别担心,
这远不是你生命中最好的时候。
我想当你变成一个成熟的男人,
我们会在镜中再相见。
还有:别忘了有机会就去给Rita阿姨一个拥抱。

哦,你有着美好的未来,
但我知道十七岁时很少有谁去想周五晚上以后的事儿。
希望你学习西班牙文,
去参加一个打字培训班。
希望你别太忧郁,万事顺其自然,
自信一些,你会明白的。

如果我能写封信给我自己,
给我自己。

 

乡村歌手Brad Paisley于1972年10月28日出生在美国西弗吉尼亚州的Glen Dale,受到祖父影响,开始接触乡村音乐,在他8岁的时候收到了祖父送给他的一把吉他,这成了他走进乡村音乐的第一步,他将这样自弹自唱演出喜欢歌曲的方式,当做消遣娱乐周遭亲朋好友的特别节目,9岁的时候,他第一次在公众面前表演,那是在一座教堂里,他的吉他和演唱天分也第一次被人们所了解。13岁的时候他开始自己创作歌曲,并且和自己的吉他恩师Clarence Hank Goddard一起组建了的乐队The C-Notes,同时还邀请了恩师的两个老朋友加入。三个长者和一个孩子的组合很快给人们留下了印象,他们开始被邀请在当地一个著名的广播节目中表演。在那些星期六晚上播出的广播节目中,Brad Paisley淋漓尽致的展示了自己的才干,赢得当地电台的大力提拔。这使他成为了广播节目的固定表演者,而他也开始有机会在节目中与许多著名的音乐人合作,比如George Jones、The Judds、Roy Clark和Little Jimmy Dickens等,并担任了一些知名乡村艺人演唱会暖场嘉宾。
作为Brad Paisley的第五张录音室专辑,《5th Gear》在美国上市首周共售出19万7千张,夺得了本周Billboard 200专辑榜的季军。据统计,首周接近20万张的销量成绩已经改写了Brad Paisley个人专辑单周销量的最高纪录。在本周的公告牌乡村专辑榜中,本张《5th Gear》更是轻松夺魁,成为Paisley在乡村专辑榜中的第三张冠军唱片。这张《5th Gear》的大卖还要得益于先于专辑发行的主打单曲《Ticks》的成功,在Billboard乡村单曲榜中,这首《Ticks》高居榜首。
