歌手簡介
Plain White T’s的故事始於十年前,一個
芝加哥郊區的少年Tom Higgenson來到了當地一家著名的
搖滾俱樂部“the Metro”,並在舞台上看到了自己的未來。回到家以後,Tom立刻找來紙筆和吉他在一台簡陋的
四軌錄音機上開始向夢想邁出第一步。Tom把自己的
樣帶遞到了90年代混出名氣的Loud Lucy樂隊的主唱Christian Lane的手裡,Christian聽過樣帶以後回復Tom說:“如果你帶著吉他把自己鎖在房間裡一整年,你一定會成功。”儘管這支叫做Loud Lucy的樂隊在今天遠比不上Plain White T’s,這句話也大大鼓舞了當年的Tom。
在高中里,Tom和學校里其他的搖滾小子們組了一支又一支不同的流行和搖滾樂隊。然而,直到加入一支名叫Harvey’s Daughter的樂隊,才真正改變了Tom的未來。在這支樂隊里,Tom認識了
貝斯手Harvey’s Daughter。兩人一拍即合,隨即雙雙離隊另組新隊。Tom開始擔任主唱,並且開始寫歌。好友Dave Tirio作為鼓手加入進來。1997年秋天,
流行朋克樂隊Plain White T’s正式成立。樂隊開始在芝加哥當地不斷演出,其中就包括當初的Metro俱樂部。1999年夏天,Tom遇上了一場車禍,腎和肺都嚴重受傷,差點丟掉了性命。大難不死的Tom對生活有了新的領悟,這也體現在了他的創作上,樂隊由於這場車禍展現出了全新的面貌。
2001年,樂隊自己發行了
DIY專輯《Come on Over》,在這張唱片賣出了好幾千張以後,終於引起了唱片公司的注意。Fearless公司簽下了Plain White T’s,並在2002年為他們推出了全長專輯《Stop》。2005年年初,樂隊在經歷了人員變動和大規模巡演後推出了新專輯《All That We Needed》。也是在那個時候,樂隊陣容終於穩定下來:主唱依舊是Tom Higgenson,而Tirio和Tim Lopez擔任吉他手,De'Mar Hamilton鼓手,Mike Retondo貝斯手。
歌詞
Our Time Now - Plain White T's
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There will be no rules tonight
If there were we'd break 'em
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Let's get down to it
Nervous hands and anxious smiles
I can feel you breathing
This is right where we belong
Turn up the music
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now, it's our time now
This is more than just romance
It's an endless summer
I can feel the butterflies
Leading me through it
Take my heart, I'll take your hand
As we're falling under
This is an addiction girl
Let's give in to it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now, it's our time now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
It's a dance
Get up, come on brothers
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
B-b-breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now
It's our time now
(It's our time now)
It's our time now
(It's our time now)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Finally it's our time now
