Best Day Of My Life (Explicit) – Tom Odell (汤姆·奥德尔)
Lyrics by:Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell
Composed by:Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell
I think today is the best day of my life
Gonna rent a bicycle and ride
Around the city around the city from 9 til 5
I think today is the best day of my life
**** thinking about the future all the time
If I’m alone if I’m alone then I don’t mind
Movie stars in black and white pictures
Warm beer and valium mixtures
Am I in a dream
Crazy as it seems
I think today is the best day of my life
Saw a billboard
It said something like
Everything everything is gonna be alright
I think today is the best day of my life
My girlfriend looked worried and asked me
Why
But I dunno I dunno so I didn’t reply
Laying on the car
You’ve got stars
I’ve got scars
They don’t see
I think today is the best day of my life
Last night all I wanted to do was die
But right now I’m just happy to be alive
这首歌诞生于Tom Odell人生中最黑暗也最清醒的一段时期。作为英国备受瞩目的创作才子,他曾长期饱受焦虑症与抑郁症的折磨。如果说他上一张专辑《monsters》是困在心魔打造的高温地狱中哭喊求救,那么这张《Best Day of My Life》则是他在历经药物依赖、情绪崩溃后,终于坐在明暗交界处的一次自我和解。
《Best Day Of My Life》不仅仅是一首旋律动人的流行单曲,它更是一篇关于绝处逢生的内心独白,完美诠释了“昨晚只想一死了之,今天却庆幸自己还活着”的极致情感反差。
