自从买了apple muisc的服务以后，时不时的就会有一些小众的音乐推给我，比如这位澳大利亚歌手Sia。我相信国内没几个人听过，长得不好看，专辑封面也丑丑的，你们感受一下：

但是她2015年的这张专辑《The Acting》让我异常喜欢。她独特、慵懒、沙哑的嗓音总给我一种坚韧力量，仿佛狂风中虽然弱小但仍然不屈不挠藤曼。而这张专辑收录的歌曲也都备受波折的曲子；主打歌Alive本来这首歌是写给Adele的，但是最终由于和她的专辑《25》主题不合而被遗弃；《Bird Set Free》本来是写给《完美调音2》的，最终也被遗弃了，后来蕾哈娜试录过，然后拒绝了，后来Adele也试过，依然是拒绝……这张专辑的其他歌曲也是，都是Sia写给别人的，但都被拒绝了，Sia自己说这些歌曲都不是写给自己的，不是表现她真实的个人心里，所以专辑叫《This Is Acting》。但是我却觉得每首歌都透着她坚韧的性格。

这是Alive的歌词，百度的翻译感觉没有原文有感觉：

I was born in a thunderstorm
　　生于雷雨交加中
I grew up overnight
　　一夜之间我便完美蜕变
I played alone, I’m playing on my own
　　我孑孓一身 孤独前进
I survived
　　但我依然顽强的生存着
Hey, I wanted everything I never had
　　我不断的追求我不曾具备的
Like the love that comes with light
　　就像爱情从天降临一般
I wore envy and I hated that
　　我瞋视着这一切 已恨透如此了
But I survived
　　但我还是顽强的生存者
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
　　我只想去到恶魔前往的地方
Where the wind don’t change
　　那里吹着冷风 寒气刺骨
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
　　寸草不生
No hope, just lies, and you’re taught to cry in your pillow
　　死气沉沉 毫无希望 只能闷在枕中哭泣
But I’ll survive
　　但我依然顽强的生存着
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
　　我依旧安好 平稳的呼吸着
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
　　我依旧安好 平稳的呼吸着
I’m alive, I’m alive
　　我就这样顽强的活着！
I’m alive, I’m alive
　　我就这样顽强的活着！
I found solace in the strangest place
　　终在这陌生之地中寻得一丝慰藉
Way in the back of my mind
　　回望我内心的最深处
I saw my life in a stranger’s face
　　我看到了一个与众不同的人
And it was mine
　　这就是全新的自我
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
　　我只想去到恶魔前往的地方
Where the wind don’t change
　　那里吹着冷风 寒气刺骨
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
　　寸草不生
No hope, just lies, and you’re taught to cry in your pillow
　　死气沉沉 毫无希望 只能闷在枕中哭泣
But I’ll survive
　　但我依然顽强的生存着
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
　　我依旧安好 平稳的呼吸着
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
　　我依旧安好 平稳的呼吸着
I’m alive, I’m alive
　　我就这样顽强的活着！
I’m alive, I’m alive
　　我就这样顽强的活着！
