What's up 是来自美国的旧金山的摇滚乐团 4 Non Blondes 的一首成名曲,歌曲描述了25岁年轻人的心态。4 Non Blondes 的歌风格很有特色,主唱 Linda Perry 嗓音粗犷、高亢,“磁性”十足,歌声与乐队伴奏浑然溶为一体。What's up”收录在 4 Non Blondes 的成名专辑《Bigger, Better, Faster, More!》之中,实际上这张专辑只有“What's up”一首歌曲是最成功的,至今也未见乐队再出过其它唱片。4 Non Blondes 是典型的凭借一首歌而且只有一首歌走红的乐队。 他们留给摇滚界一个不朽的传奇,What's Up成为90年代摇滚青年的圣歌,反复吟唱之后依然光彩夺目,动人心魄。 Linda Perry 高亢奔放的嗓音和天马行空的演绎,几乎让一切翻唱都显得幼稚可笑。这首歌比较完美地体现了 Linda 峰回路转的嗓音,如果说摇滚是蕴涵激情的音乐,那 Linda 的嗓音就应该是能呼唤出激情的魔音宝盒。 歌词: 25 years of my life and still I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this Brotherhood of man For whatever that means So I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed To get it all out what's in my head Then I start feeling a little peculiar So I wake in the morning and I step Outside I take deep breath I get real high Then I scream from the top of my lungs What's goin' on And I say hey... And I say hey what's goin' on And I say hey... I said hey what's goin' on And I try, oh my God do I try I try all the time In this institution And I pray, oh my God do I pray I pray every single day For a revolution So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed To get it all out what's in my head Then I start feeling a little peculiar So I wake in the morning and I step outside I take a deep breath then I get real high Then I scream from the top of my lungs What's goin' on And I say hey... And I say hey what's goin' on And I say hey... I said hey what's goin' on And I say hey... And I say hey what's goin' on And I say hey... I said hey what's goin' on 25 years of my life and still I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination
