创作背景
《Safe & Sound》创作于2011年秋季的一个晚上,歌曲的歌词由泰勒·斯威夫特与独立民谣乐队The Civil Wars的成员约翰·保罗·怀特、乔伊·威廉姆斯共同编写,T·本恩·本内特担任执行音乐制作人,这首歌的内容根据电影《饥饿游戏》的主题所撰写,表达了影片的一部分含义。而这首歌曲的录唱歌手泰勒·斯威夫特在接受媒体采访时,也表示自己因为能够为这部电影(指《饥饿游戏》)献唱主题曲而感到非常荣幸。
歌曲鉴赏
《Safe & Sound》有着空灵而又迷人的音乐氛围,在逐渐由弱转强的吉他伴奏下,泰勒·斯威夫特极具辨识度的声音舒缓而温暖,传达出希冀终会将黑暗消散、勇敢坚毅之人终会于危难中安然无恙的信念。这首歌曲的音调以G大调为主,拥有一个每分钟72次的温和节奏,泰勒·斯威夫特在歌曲中使用了高昂的喘息声线唱歌,而她的音域必须从G3横跨至D5。《滚石》杂志盛赞《Safe & Sound》为泰勒·斯威夫特“最美妙的民谣”。
歌曲歌词
(Verse1)
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
(Verse2/Chorus)
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
(Verse3)
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone
(Verse4/Chorus)
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
(Bridge5)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La la (La la)
La la (La la)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La la (La la)
(Verse5)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...
(Verse6)
Oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh
