Ain’t gonna say the sky is falling

You gotta read between the lines

Stop waiting for a sign

Who’s gonna live your life?

The future’s looking brighter than a handful of stars

You gotta hold on, hold on*

赏析

成军将近35年的邦乔维乐队可以说是美国乃至全球最成功、最有影响力的摇滚乐队之一。看着这几个年过半百的硬朗大叔在舞台上又是唱又是跳，一派光芒万丈，你一定不会想到，在他们刚在摇滚界站稳脚跟那个年代，众多死硬派一直诟病乐队“太奶油”“太媚俗”“太商业化”……几十年过去了，当年的批判者早已不知所踪，而邦乔维一直都在—甚至比时下很多一脸迷茫颓废的“小鲜肉”还更有活力地、一年接着一年地炮制摇滚“鸡汤”，怎一个热血了得！

和邦乔维的大部分作品一样，《明日重生》这首新歌也是为每一个听歌的“你”而唱的，就连它的MV也采用了第一人称视角，从“你”的角度看着一个男人从出生到死亡的一生：父母、朋友、恋爱、学习、玩耍、工作、结婚、宠物、养家—平凡的日常生活，平凡的喜怒哀乐，但也正因平凡而越发动人……
