摇滚:How Many Hours—迈克学摇滚

英文歌词：

Mothers giving birth to a little son
crying in the rain of falling bombs
Father he is young but deep and wise
You see the fighter inside his eyes
Hold me cover my sight
This is no paradise
Don't show me
the evil¹ sides of the world
How many hours and how many days
love is just slipping² away
How many seasons and how many years
in tears
How many centuries and how many lives
in fear
People selling flowers like nothing's going on
turning their backs on a world gone wrong
Children play around I guess they found some wheels
You see them running down the naked³ fields
Hold me cover my sight
This is no paradise
Don't show me
the evil sides of the world
How many hours and how many days
love is just slipping away
How many seasons and how many years
in tears
How many centuries and how many lives
in fear

I

细数过去的18个年头，每一个乍寒还暖的日子，都有摇滚麦克的温暖歌声。曾被形容是斯堪地那维亚音乐传统与西洋流行乐的甜美相遇的摇滚麦克，在们深入流行音乐情感层面并从中精确掌握音符组构成果的能力，使得他们成为丹麦流行音乐史上最成功的团体之一。摇滚麦克在家乡已经有超过五十万张唱片的销售纪录，但更惊人的是他们在全球的销售数字更是超过800万张。其中更在亚洲更是掀起一阵流行狂潮。
