今天要介紹的是由美國超人氣歌手Justin Timberlake
於2013年所帶來的-Mirrors。
JT的演藝之路可以說是一路順遂,
從擔任男孩團體「'N Sync」的隊長,
一直到單飛後開始發行個人專輯,
甚至獲得六次葛萊美獎的肯定。
JT具有王子般高貴的氣質,
以及略顯纖細的嗓音獲得許多人的喜愛。
在這首長達8分鐘的歌曲中,
敘述了一段看似平淡卻令人難忘的愛情。
MV中以時光交錯的手法來描繪情感,
利用「鏡子」貫穿整首歌,
運用MV中隨處可見的鏡子代替複雜的運鏡手法,
沒有華麗的光影特效,
就像在講述你我身邊的故事,
在這8分鐘就如同看了部微電影般。
歌詞寫得很棒,情感十分濃厚,
搭配上JT細膩的嗓音,
輕吟低語的闡述方式讓這首歌顯得恰到好處。
不像許多情歌那般淒美悲憾,
卻有著淡淡說不出的愛意纏繞在心頭。
以上。
希望你/妳喜歡今天的音樂。
Mirrors - Justin Timberlake
Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The biggest scene that sat in my heart
Is a space and now your home
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The biggest scene that sat in my heart
Is a space and now your home
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The biggest scene that sat in my heart
Is a space and now your home
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are, you are the love of my life [x10]
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life [x8]
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life [x16]
