stand

圆圆

jewel1974年5月23日出生于美国尤他州的payson, 随着家庭搬到了更靠北部的的阿拉斯加的anchorage，她的祖父juel给她取了jewel这个名字，六岁时，她就开始歌唱生涯，她经常跟随父母在所居住的爱斯基摩村落里演出，并倍受当地村民喜爱。在阿拉斯加长大的她被赞誉为现今流行乐坛最有才华且最出色的歌手之一。至今，她在全球的唱片销售量高达2300万张。这首《stand》是jewel的第六张专辑《0304》的主打歌，歌词虽然是讲家庭暴力以及社会种种丑陋现象的，歌词中充满了对于现实的迷惑和不解，看似叙述的口吻，包含了莫大的讽刺和叛逆意味。但听起来一点也不生硬，很有韵律，加上jewel清澈且有磁性的嗓音，清新自然，很是让人喜欢。当然，歌曲旋律的优美也是极其重要的因素之一。

圆圆

Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try 2 run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent 2 make u clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

U will love me, I will love u
