[Music] Pink ft. Nate Ruess –Just Give Me a Reason @ Xavier 元創主義

文：Xavier

Pink (粉紅佳人)的單曲裡，我喜歡Sober、Bad Influence和Just Give Me a Reason這三首歌，又以去年發行的Just Give Me a Reason最觸動我的心。

Just Give Me a Reason為專輯The Truth About Love的第三支單曲，找來Fun樂團的主唱Nate Ruess一起合作，結果引起廣大迴響。這支單曲不僅稱霸美國Billboard Hot 100 (Pink第四支攻下告示榜首位的單曲)，還在加拿大、澳洲和荷蘭等十多個國家的音樂榜奪冠，成為該專輯最賣的一支單曲，最後獲得葛萊美獎Song of the Year的提名。

Pink 2

歌曲以簡單的琴聲開場，先由Pink獨唱，再慢慢加入鼓聲、Bass和Nate Ruess的合唱，最後在Pink的歌聲中，伴隨著琴聲結束。兩人的聲音十分契合，旋律也很容易讓人一聽再聽，是近年西洋樂壇相當有代表性的情歌對唱。

歌的意境帶著些許哀傷，隱約感覺你變了心，但還是試著告訴自己沒那麼糟，還有修補的可能(其實早就無可救藥？)，給我個理由吧！只要一些……就足夠，還是真的是我想太多了呢？

Pink ft. Nate Ruess – Just Give Me a Reason 歌詞

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts can rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
