[Miley Cyrus]The Climb

今天是考研的第一天，上午的政治和下午的英语已经成为过去时，所有的遗憾都没有意义。即便英语考试的超强难度，也应该并且必须被遗忘。想起之前听过的Miley Cyrus的The Climb，挺能鼓舞士气的。Miley Cyrus的声音有些嘶哑（husky twang），由于年龄的原因，感觉有点不太成熟（尤其是听了那首和Taylor Swift合唱的Fifteen）。听了《Hannah Montana》电影版的专辑，这首歌感觉最好听。

这是Miley第一次尝试乡村音乐，正如影片制作人说的，“这首歌正是为Miley量身定做的，可以改变她的人生，也可以改变你们（指歌曲作者）的人生”。关键是这首歌开发出Cyrus新的声线，拓宽了演唱风格。美国一评论家说歌曲的歌词写得并不出彩。他同时指出，我也这样觉得，Cyrus在这首歌里摆脱了之前歌曲中的听起来很重的童音。可以去听一下Cyrus与Taylor Swift合作演唱的《Fifteen》，两人年龄差不多，但感觉Taylor明显比Miley更成熟。《The Climb》这种风格的歌曲正好展现了Miley没被发现的一面。

PS:这首歌还获得第52届格莱美奖影视类歌曲的提名（Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media ）。很遗憾的是，由于歌曲不是专为电影创作的而最终丧失了提名资格。

The Climb被众多参加选秀节目（如第九届美国偶像）的选手选用，其中获得2009年X Factor英国偶像冠军得主18岁的男歌手Joe McElderry最具有代表性。MV回顾Joe的参赛并最终获得冠军的经历，比Miley Cyrus的MV更具有感染力，值得一看。

歌词：The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
