摇滚:Long Long Way To Go

英文歌词：

you held my hand and then you slipped¹ away
and i may never see your face again
so tell me how do to fill³ the emptiness inside
without love, what is life⁴?

and anyone⁵ who knew us both can see
we always were the better part⁶ of me
i never wanted to be this free
all this pain⁷, does it go away?

then every time i turn around
and you're nowhere⁸ to be found
i know i got⁹ a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever² knew
to you, to you

from memory¹⁰, there is no hiding¹¹ place
turn on the tv and i see you there
in every crowd¹² there's always someone¹³ with your face
everywhere, trying not to care¹⁴

then every time i turn around
and you're nowhere to be found
i know i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever knew

to you, i wish you everythin'
and all the best that life can bring
i only hope¹⁵ you think of me sometimes, oh
and even¹⁶ though¹⁷ i feel the pain
i know that i will love again
the time will come, oh, and i'll move on
i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go
before i can say goodbye, before i say goodbye
to all i ever knew, to all i ever knew
i got a long, i got a long, long way to go, long way to go
before i can say, before i say, goodbye to you
say goodbye, say goodbye
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever knew

DEF LEPPARD是一支典型的流行重金属乐队〔乐评语〕，流畅的旋律和优美的和声是乐队的特征之一。DEF LEPPARD音乐中的优美旋律令乐迷们对重金属音乐有了新的认识，无数热血青年受DEF LEPPARD音乐的引领步入重金属的殿堂，而这一点也成了一些评论家和重金属狂热者攻击的目标。我是这样的观点：音乐发展到今天，已经渐渐偏离了本性，流派类别之争非常激烈，摇滚看不起流行，流行当朋克是垃圾，其实大可不必如此。音乐原本就只是一段供给人欣赏的旋律加节奏的合成体，因此只应该有好音乐和不好音乐之分，而不应该硬性的归结流派。任何一支乐队或歌者都是有其自身特点的，如何分的那么清楚，有些乐队甚至是无法化入任何流派的，如Cranberries〔卡百利〕非常的有个性。因此，我认为，一支乐队只要他的音乐动听入心，那他的音乐就绝对有理由得到尊重。让流派见鬼去吧，def leppard就是def leppard 风格。
DEF LEPPARD成立于1977年的冬天，前身ATOMIC MASS（核能圣餐）乐队，1978年7月18日乐队第一次登台演出是在谢菲尔德的中学韦斯特菲尔德，他们的报酬是一位老师自掏腰包的5英镑。1978年DEF LEPPARD在自己创建的公司推出首张同名专辑《DEF LEPPARD》，由于资金原因，这张EP唱片只制作了1000份拷贝，时至今日，这张唱片已成为摇滚迷们渴望已久的藏品。随后DEF LEPPARD开始走向成功，并成功杀入美国，成为当时唯一能与迈克尔·杰克逊争雄的乐队。
然而一系列的灾难降临到乐队身上，吉他手酒精中毒病故，鼓手酗酒被开除，鼓手里克·艾伦发生交通事故，左臂被齐肩切断，但艾伦以惊人的毅力和顽强的意志重返乐队，利用脚和手的合拍性苦练特地为他定做的电子鼓，并成了乐队的灵魂人物，艾伦用这种超强毅力和音乐执著大手笔的书写了真正的摇滚精神。
