Sweeter than Fiction——生活比小说更美好

李茁

Hit the ground， hit the ground， hit the ground， oh oh.

Only sound， only sound that you hear is "no".

You never saw it coming，

Slipped when you started running.

And now you've come undone and I， I， I， I

Seen you fall， seen you crawl on your knees， eh eh，

Seen you lost in a crowd， seen your colors fade.

Wish I could make it better.

Someday you won't remember

This pain you thought would last forever and ever.

★ There you'll stand， ten feet tall.

I will say， "I knew it all along."

Your eyes are wider than distance.

This life is sweeter than fiction. ★

Just a shot， just a shot in the dark， oh oh.

All you got， all you got are your shattered hopes.

They never saw it coming.

You hit the ground running.

And now you're onto something， I， I， I say，

What a sight， what a sight when the light came on；

Proved me right， proved me right when you proved them wrong.

And in this perfect weather， it's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever.

▲ Refrain ★

There you'll stand， next to me.

All at once， the rest is history.

Your eyes are wider than distance.

This life is sweeter than fiction. ▲

☆ I'll be one of the many， saying，

"Look at you now， look at you now， now."

I'll be one of the many， saying，

"You made us proud， you made us proud， proud." ☆

Refrain ☆

And when they call your name and they put your picture in a frame，

You know that I'll be there， time and again， 'cause I loved you then.

When you hit the ground， hit the ground， hit the ground， oh oh.

Only sound， only sound that you heard was "no".

Now in this perfect weather， it's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever （forever）.

Refrain ▲

It's sweeter than fiction.

It's sweeter， yeah.

It's sweeter， sweeter， sweeter than fiction.

这首“Sweeter than Fiction”是美国当红乡村女歌手Taylor Swift为电影《机不可失》（One Chance）创作并演唱的主题曲。影片根据真人真事改编，讲述了36岁的手机推销员保罗·波茨（Paul Potts）在《英国达人》（Britain's Got Talent）节目上以一曲“Nessun Dorma”（《今夜无人入睡》）一鸣惊人的励志故事。Taylor Swift在接受采访时提到，她觉得这部电影十分感人，主人公保罗对音乐梦想坚持不懈的努力令人敬佩，而他的妻子对他的关爱和支持更是深深打动了她，这份爱正是这首主题曲的创作灵感。歌词使用第一人称和第二人称，听起来如同亲人的安慰和鼓励：曾经的伤痛记忆会模糊远去，熬过漆黑的夜晚，就会有灿烂的曙光在等待。不过值得一提的是，这首暖心的歌曲在曲风上并没有走抒情路线，而是加入了摇滚舞曲的元素，节奏欢快，动感十足，让人不禁想要随着歌曲一起摇摆。

人生就像一场障碍赛，在奔跑的过程中，跌倒和伤痛总是难免的。如果你能够忍住疼痛、咬紧牙关继续向前奔跑，你会发现一路上经受的磨练都有它特别的意义。如果你能穿越一道道障碍、坚持到最后，你会发现life is sweeter than fiction。
