天籁音乐:Phil Collins-Another Day In Paradise

Phil Collins(菲尔?科林斯)不仅是英格兰一位出色的摇滚乐歌手，还是一位很棒的爵士乐鼓手，同时还弹得一手好电子琴，经常在演唱会上自弹自唱。与众多 耀眼的歌星所不同的是，他演唱的作品极少风花雪月、卿卿我我的内容，而是关注社会，针砭时弊。尤其难得的是，他还能将如此严肃的内涵用动听的旋律表现出 来，它的音色并不完美，有点沙哑，但恰恰是这把沙哑的嗓子所发出的呐喊格外发人深省。

这首歌像一首叙事诗，通过Phil Collins充满感情的歌声，表达了对弱者的同情和对“天堂”社会里的阴暗面的思考。歌中描写了一个流离失所、无处过夜的女子向过路人求助，却遭拒绝的一幕，是一首具有很强现实主义的歌曲。柯林斯嗓音浑厚、充满激情，深受歌迷喜爱。
Phil Collins: Another Day In Paradise

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her


Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh think twice, it's just another day for you

You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

She can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, it's another day for

You and me in paradise

Oh think twice, it's just another day for you

You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do

Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there

Probably been moved on from every place

'Cos she didn't fit in there
