创作背景
歌曲介绍
"True Colors"由Billy Steinberg与Tom Kelly操刀,是专辑中唯一非辛迪所写的曲子,但此曲却成为传唱至今的隽永经典,后人更是翻唱不断。真挚略哑的嗓音,与简单纯粹的弦乐、吉他编曲,及充满正能量的歌词让这首歌的张力直接穿透身体,触动最深层无法言喻的情绪。
"True Colors"成为辛迪的第二首美国冠军单曲。辛迪对这首歌曲之所以产生共鸣,是因为这首歌让辛迪想起因艾滋病而逝的旧交Gregory Natal。
这首歌因此也成为同志圈的代表歌曲,辛迪也因此建立了"True Colors"基金会,主要受益群众为男女同志人群,双性恋以及变性人等弱势群体。
歌曲歌词
You with the sad eyes don't be discouraged
Oh,I realize,it's hard to take courage
In a world full of people you can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show me your true colors
True colors are beautiful like a rainbow
Show me a smile then don't be unhappy
Can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors shining through
I'll see your true colors and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your true colors
True colors are beautiful like a rainbow
Can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors shining through
I'll see your true colors and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let it show your true colors
True colors
True colors shining through
I'll see your true colors and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your true colors
True colors are beautiful like a rainbow
