关于mockingbird

看到小组里有人说喜欢HAILIE'S SONG。 很自然的就想到了MOCKINGBIRD。 两首都喜欢。 不过更喜欢MOCKINGBIRD。 这首更表达了他对孩子的爱。 他向女儿们解释他理解的世界。 他和妻子的关系。他们的曾经。 这首歌中，他对他的妻子不再是愤怒。 而是给孩子以爱的教育。。。 呵呵，这么说好像有点冷。不过的确是如此。。。 更多的是他对于过往生活的一个思考吧。 开头就很感人， 尤其是那句straighten up little soldier. 简单却饱含深情。 I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now. But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier. Stiffen up that upper lip. What you crying about? You got me. 他知道孩子想他同样也想念妈妈。 他诉说了他的辛苦，他的成名的艰难路程。 还有他成名后的烦恼和无奈。 让他的女儿也不得不承受。 （这几个旋转的词用的很妙^_^） We're all we got in this world When it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a daze 。 I know it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me 不过,EMINEM也已经终于接受了吧。 But then of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream 希望一切如梦。。。 猜想EM的内心深处是脆弱的， 他告诉孩子们也许有一天会发现这一切是梦， 这其实也应该是他的愿望吧。 他也是个渴望幸福和爱的普通爸爸吧。。。 艰难的成名路。。。 It's funny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. 让人心痛哦。尤其是那句Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em. I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying. EM的那段人生真的比较坎坷。 And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart 可是。这不过是悲剧的开始。。。 And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart. 家庭的破碎恐怕才是最痛苦的。 And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand. 悲切。。。 Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now 尤其是， all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud. 整首歌都很让人感动。 也是洞察EM内心和他真实生活的一个窗口吧。 在他如此不屑一顾的骂人和看似无所谓的生活表层下， 其实是一个充满爱，需要爱的人。。。 不过呢，最后的几句， 好像又把我们拉回到平常见到的EM了。 一样暴力。。。 这大概是EM最后想达到的效果吧。 让你看到他的真情，再对此进行一个类似“嘲讽”的效果。 他要告诉你， 我还是我，还是会在现实骂人，充满讽刺和辛辣的说唱歌手。 不要以为我就此变得温情了。 很有他的特色。 呵呵。 此歌已然被我拆的零乱不堪喽， 所以再附上完整歌词。^_^。 MOCKINGBIRD Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you crying about? You got me Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cuz you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, aint he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this world When it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a daze I know it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we was teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream [Chorus] Now hush little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But i promise momma's gon' be alright It's funny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the moment [Chorus] And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the world I'mma buy a diamond ring for you I'mma sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies neck I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
