震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

The Interrupters - On A Turntable

My fridge ain't broken
我的冰箱沒壞
But my beer ain't cold
但啤酒卻不冰
My body's aching, I'm not even old
全身痠痛 我明明還年輕
Police are coming
警察來了
But I did nothing wrong
但我沒做錯什麼
And I sit here singing
所以我坐在這大聲歌唱
But I don't have a song
儘管我沒有自己的歌

Never had much, grew up with nothing
有的不多 一無所有地長大
But the music always meant something
但音樂對我總有著特殊的意義
I've been down and out
我曾窮困潦倒過
I've been on top of the world
也曾登上世界頂峰
The world that keeps on spinning on a turntable
那持續在唱片機上轉著的世界

Don't have a room, but I'm not homeless
沒有自己的房間 但至少不是無家可歸
I'm filled with doubt, but I'm not hopeless
儘管心中充滿疑慮 卻未曾絕望
The stakes are up, but I got nothing at stake
賭注很高 但反正我身無分文
Got a wounded heart, but it won't break
有顆飽受創傷的心 卻從未碎裂過

Never had much, grew up with nothing
有的不多 一無所有地長大
But the music always meant something
但音樂對我總有著特殊的意義
I've been down and out
我曾窮困潦倒過
I've been on top of the world
也曾登上世界頂峰
The world that keeps on spinning on a turntable
那持續在唱片機上轉著的世界
On a turntable (x3)
就在唱片機上

Traveled the world, but been nowhere
走遍世界 卻無處可去
All I do is worry, but I got no cares
總是感到擔憂 但我不在意
And I drink too much, but still feel sober
喝太多 卻始終感到清醒
This record plays over and over
伴隨不斷重複的專輯

Never had much, grew up with nothing
有的不多 一無所有地長大
But the music always meant something
但音樂對我總有著特殊的意義
I've been down and out
我曾窮困潦倒過
I've been on top of the world
也曾登上世界頂峰
The world that keeps on spinning on a turntable
那持續在唱片機上轉著的世界
On a turntable (x3)
就在唱片機上

Keep on spinnin'
持續轉著
Ya keeps on spinnin'
持續轉著
It keeps on spinnin'
持續轉著
Ya!



這首歌收錄於The Interrupters 2016年的專輯"Say It Out Loud"中，
是個人非常喜愛的一首，
歌詞非常符合自己的成長過程，
尤其是"Never had much, grew up with nothing
But the music always meant something"這兩句，
而這也是The Interrupters作品一直以來給人的感覺，
總是用淺白的描述或形容，
帶給人們活力、勇氣與認同感。
