概述
《為你祈禱》(pray for you)是
美國歌手加倫創作的網路單曲。
鄉村音樂搭配
詛咒歌詞,被網友戲稱“史上最牛分手歌”。
內容
歌中講述歌者慘遭女友情感背叛後,鬱悶不解向他人尋求開導,聽聞“你不該對傷害你的人心懷恨意,你應該為他們祈禱。”這句開導
箴言後,他卻產生了與常人理解不同的“
祝福”,他的“祈禱詞”全是“
詛咒”女友的惡搞橋段,“我祈禱花瓶從窗台掉落,就像我期望的那樣擊中你的頭;我祈禱沒人在你生日那天打電話祝賀……”
MV中,歌者對著
電腦唱,液晶螢幕上女友的一幕幕“情景再現”,結尾處女孩重回男友懷抱,但慘遭拒絕,迎合“我祈禱你的夢想都會幻滅”這句歌詞。
雖然歌詞寫得惡狠狠,但MV色調柔和,搭配
美國鄉村音樂的民謠,整首歌顯得一點也不暴力,反而有種童話般的可愛感。這種惡搞的反差似乎很適合網友的口味,許多人稱讚該歌為“史上最牛分手歌”,唱出“
男人的心聲”。
歌曲點評
西安音樂學院作曲系教師任意就點評說,不同於膚淺的“網路口水單曲”,“分手歌”有很完整的旋律,“首先,持續弦樂和聲的曲調,像男主人娓娓道來分手緣由;此後節奏一轉,加入
打擊樂,重節奏讓失戀者極度悲憤的心情徹底釋放;最後曲調放緩,結尾給人意想不到的結局,整首歌很完整。”
西安資深心理專家
劉瑤表示,網路戲謔失戀,表達出失戀者內心的無奈。她認為用娛樂視角走出分手困境,比傷害自我方式更顯妥當、輕鬆。所有“娛樂”失戀痛楚的行為,都屬於人類思想多元化的表現,客群者應持有娛樂、健康的心態,“就像‘分手歌’中的
詛咒橋段,只是歌手的無奈,並不是真心所為,大家只可娛樂一笑,切勿當真。
歌手
演唱《為你祈禱》的歌手名叫加倫,他與雙胞胎兄弟依萬(Evan)曾組成組合闖蕩樂壇但並不出名。直到2009年11月,加倫以化名上傳網路單曲《為你祈禱》,隨即聲名大噪,並在2010年6月,與依萬合發新專輯。
目前已有網友為歌手建立
貼吧,並給他起了個搞怪的名字,叫“
詛咒派歌手鼻祖”。
歌詞
英文歌詞
I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were going great til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do his job, you just pray for them
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I'm really glad I found my way to church
Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words
Yeah, I'm gonna take the high road and do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin' up, and I'll keep prayin' for you
I pray your tire goes out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend
And wake up with his and her tattoos
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far
In your house or in your car
Wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I pray for you
中文歌詞
我已經許久沒去教堂了
在你劈腿前我過的都還不錯
他說:你不該對傷害你的人心懷恨意
有時我們會怨天尤人但我們不該如此
就讓上帝解決,而你只需為她們禱告
我祈禱你的輪胎爆胎並且滾下山丘
我祈禱花瓶從窗台掉落
