来自爱尔兰的流行组合Jedward由孪生兄弟John Grimes和Edward Grimes组成,他们因参加2009年的选秀节目《英国偶像》(The X Factor)而被观众熟知,后又凭借在欧洲歌唱大赛(Eurovision Song Contest)上的出色表现而名声大噪。和他们阳光的外形一样,Jedward的大多数歌曲都有着轻快的旋律和朗朗上口的歌词,充满了青春的活力与朝气,传达出积极向上的态度,带给听者无尽的鼓励和满满的正能量。这首“Ferocious”就是其中之一。
“Ferocious”出自Jedward在2014年发行的专辑《自由精神》(Free Spirit),这首歌以钢琴、贝斯开场,渐快的节奏营造出紧张的氛围。伴着高昂的歌声,Jedward满腔的斗志在高潮处如火山般爆发,紧跟着的反复吟唱更是激励人心。歌曲最终以一声嘶吼结束,既充满力量又干净利落。没有谁的人生道路是平坦大道。在生活中,我们可能会受到嘲笑和轻视,可能会遭遇否定和打击,甚至还可能会饱受欺负和凌辱。面对这些阻挡我们成功的羁绊,每个人都应如歌中所唱的那样:Deal with all the highs and lows. Don't let them say you can't. 是的,勇敢面对生活中的起起落落,无须理会他人的评价,更不必向他人低头,只需甩开一切,勇往直前!
I've been through struggles
Dodged a lot thrown at me.
Some people in the world
Don't want you to succeed.
I spotted your true colours.
I saw through the disguise.
I figure you're a user.
You're only full of lies.
Now with pride
I'm standing like a lion,
Not caring what you say.
Crawl away now you poison spider.
Don't ever stand in my way.
I'm setting free my inner wolf.
I will be ferocious.
And I'm setting free my inner tiger.
I will be ferocious.
And I'm setting free my inner wolf.
I will be ferocious.
And I'm setting free my inner tiger.
I will be ferocious.
Ferocious, ferocious,
I will be ferocious.

Life is never easy.
Don't ever pack it in.
Deal with all the highs and lows.
Don't let them say you can't.
You've come out of the dark.
Found the courage within.
Now I know for a fact
I can face anything.
