When I Was Older是电影《罗马》的原声音乐,由美国女歌手Billie Eilish演唱。电影Roma作为这首歌的灵感源泉是一部美国和墨西哥合拍的剧情片,通过描写70年代一个普通墨西哥中产家庭的生活故事,讲述了墨西哥所经历的种族鸿沟与骚乱历史。而在Billie的歌中不论是歌词还是曲调,更多的是一种“明媚的丧”,一种淡淡的忧伤及无奈,没有打雷丧的那么彻底,在丧的同时却又带着些许阳光的意味和对生活的期待,也许这就是她吸引人的点吧!
When I Was Older歌词:
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
Mhm
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend
I'm on my
I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught
Got a little of it in my blood
In my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm watching movies back to back in black and white I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Been going over you I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
