Bad Day不美好的日子

每個人都希望從早晨起床就能迎來美好的一天，即使不是24小時驚喜不斷、好運連連，至少也求平安無過、諸事順利。可惜有時候，生活就像循環播放的磁帶一成不變，讓人一睜開眼睛就感到負荷沉重，奮斗著的白天似乎漫無止境，而稍有差池，周圍人的誤解、嘲諷就不期而至，甚至連壞天氣也來湊熱鬧……加拿大歌手Daniel Powter在2005年大熱的可口可樂廣告歌曲“Bad Day”中就生動地描述了這樣一個令人沮喪的bad day。面對不美好的一天，我們如何度過？也許大多數人在經過時間的消磨以后，都會不知不覺地選擇消極的方式，任憑心情低落、陰霾蔽日，光彩從自己的面龐和瞳孔中消失，又或者是像歌中唱到的faking a smile，強顏歡笑，卻解決不了任何問題。

然而，就是這首令人備感挫敗的“Bad Day”，Daniel Powter卻用朗朗上口、歡快悅耳的旋律演繹了出來。有人曾說：“The world is not beautiful， therefore it is.”這句話并不自相矛盾，生活中所謂的不美好恰恰會令它更加美好，因為日子起伏跌宕、變化無窮，生命才會多姿多彩。有時候，我們需要做的只是給自己放個小假或者改變心態。“You've seen what you like.”歸根結底，我們的大多數不快樂其實都沒有那么痛苦，也并非無法消除。我們眼中的巨大挫折也許就是小小的遺憾而已，所以我們沒必要因為短暫的“壞天氣”就放棄自己的堅持或是熄滅心底的熱情。就像這首歌的MV結尾主人公終于領悟到的那樣：晴朗的天空忽然愁云密布、大雨傾盆，怎么辦？與其站在雨中懊惱哭泣，不如行動起來，找一把雨傘，或是一位能為你撐傘的朋友，也許壞天氣反而能帶來一段奇緣呢！

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to grey

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee you go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces every time

And I don't need no carryin' on

▲※('Cause) you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride※

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day▲

Well you need a blue-sky holiday

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

Refrain▲

Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing it turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well， oh! that strong

And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most

(Oh you and I)

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Refrain※

You had a bad day

You've seen what you like

And how does it feel for one more time

You had a bad day

You had a bad day
