hey soul sister
简介"Hey, Soul Sister"是美国另类摇滚乐队Train新专辑《Save Me San Francisco》当中的首支单曲，于2009年8月发行，在美国摇滚单曲榜上排名40。
在十五年的时间里总共推出了五张专辑，老牌摇滚乐队Train算得上慢工出细活的典范，通常三年磨一剑的速率，也绝对耐得住寂寞。
专辑通过《Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)》一曲，Train拿下了格莱美最佳摇滚歌曲大奖，还有其他大大小小的奖项，从而一举确立了自己的地位。在上一张专辑《For Me, It's You》发行三年之后，Train迟迟推出了他们的全新专辑《Save Me, San Francisco》。在这一回的专辑里，乐队的阵容进行了减缩，成员由原来的五人众缩减到创始之初的Monahan、吉他手Jimmy Stafford 和鼓手 Scott Underwood。要不然，乐队主唱Monahan也不会放话：我们将通过这一张专辑回到从前。看来，轻装上阵的决心并不是空穴来风。
在Train行走的漫长路途中，是成功伴随着曲折的。在《Save Me, San Francisco》当中，他们依旧保有如初始的充足精力，他们在这张专辑里表现了愿意尝试新声音的念头；另一方面仍然保持了一贯的基本节奏，一新一旧的两重元素使得这张新专辑听起来是如此愉快及惊喜。
流行、温暖、悦耳，是《Save Me, San Francisco》给人的初印象。同名歌曲《Save Me, San Francisco》从一开始就懂得如何向听众灌输这类情绪，歌词中唱到““当语言让你不安时/像柴火一样使用他们吧/让它们燃烧””，直接简单，木吉他堆砌的快感，加之呜呼的唏嘘，钢琴隐约的串联，都使得最后的欢呼声不沦为单纯的背景。《Hey, Soul Sister》的出现，像极了某些广告片的歌曲，甚至可以毫不避讳地说倘若Ipod就此拿去，也丝毫不用在意是否与其印象贴切，要知道老乐队也能有如此澎湃的精力。而《BlackWater》、《I Got You》、《Breakfast In Bed》延续了《Hey, Soul Sister》里的新鲜感觉，到《Marry Me》则变得无比柔和，洋溢着糖和阳光。《You Already Know》算是相对另类的一曲，有交响乐般的前奏作为铺垫，在穿越了漫长的星际之后才缓缓降落。《This Ain't Goodbye》的细腻，让人们见识了主唱Monahan对细节的精准拿捏。
对了，Monahan谈到在准备专辑时大致写了六十到八十首歌，如此充足的创作精力，看起来Train的火力正十足，跑得正欢。
歌词Hey, hey
Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you, and so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided, you're the one I have decided who's one of my kind.
Hey soul sister, ain't the Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey, hey
Hey
Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction, a game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna, and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey
The way you can't cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me
Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight,
Hey
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey
Hey, hey
Tonight
Hey, hey
