英语歌曲:Raise Today-Peasant

Raise Today-Peasant

what is there missing¹ from me, that i see in you?

what can i say? what can i do for you?

i find myself trying each day, i want to grow up

what do i know? it seems that i can't force feeling

as everything's dancing around

a circle that i cannot see

and all the times slipping² away

we try to remember the days

gathering³ all of the pictures we took

together and apart we will die

as everything's dancing around

just trying to stay on the ground

i find myself reaching tog rab, you away

feelings today, don't look away from me

and holding our hands out we'll grow, everyday

losing the way, no more alone we will stay

as everything's dancing around

a circle that i cannot see

and all the times slipping away

we try to remember the days

gathering all of the pictures we took

together and apart we will die

as everythngs dancing around

just trying to stay on the ground.

 

歌手介绍

    2009年1月21日peasant在仅有三个旗下乐队的Paper Garden Record发行了新专辑《On the Ground》。由于互联网的恩惠，实际听到这张专辑应该在12月末1月初。当时遇到一件足以成为我人生重大转折点的事，又恰巧听到peasant这张专辑中的"we are good",让我一时有一种想飙泪的冲动。"we are good"的开场有股力量闷弱却咄咄逼人的气势，把积藏在心里的郁结突然提至嗓门，难以呼吸，唯有泪流。

    peasant来自美国PENNSYLVANIA 的DOYLESTOWN，本名Damien DeRose，出身在工人阶级的他经常利用晚上的时间创作，为了实现自己炽热的音乐梦想，Peasant做出了很多的牺牲和努力。peasant收集了很多故事和歌曲来完成《On the Ground》，希望给情绪低落的人默默的支持，也给疲倦的无产阶级者们更多的鼓励和安慰。在这个繁华虚弱的社会背后，peasant仍然能够平静地叙说着自己的故事，在黑暗的天空点亮自己的光明。他的音乐朴实纯净，淡色中不仅有一点苦涩，还有亮色的顽强抚慰着人们往日的创伤，告诉人们——Tomorrow is another day。
