[03.30]Superman (It's Not Easy

shijie1126

John Ondrasik是这个名字背后的灵魂人物，他不仅演唱作曲，还弹得一手好吉他和钢琴。出生在洛杉矶圣费南多谷的Ondrasik有位做钢琴教师的母亲，从两岁时就开始让他接受音乐训练。13岁那年，Ondrasik对姐姐的吉他产生兴趣，自学弹奏并试着谱曲。他还在歌剧院学习声乐，不过他很快发现自己真正喜欢的不是歌剧，而是像Billy Joel，Stevie Wonder，Elton John那样的音乐。

1997年，他用“Five for Fighting（曲棍球比赛的一项判罚规则）”作为艺名，在Capitol唱片旗下推出了首张专辑《Message for Albert》。三年后，他的第二张专辑《American Town》在哥伦比亚唱片旗下发行。这张极具人文主义风采的唱作专辑，诞生了在“911”事件中抚慰整个美国的歌曲《Superman (It's Not Easy)》。Ondrasik在2001年冬天“911”纪念演唱会上高唱这支曲子，使得这张唱片的销量也在其后一路狂升，成为一张白金唱片。

2006年，Ondrasik带着新专辑《Two Lights》重装上阵，他用浑然天成的钢琴和人声继续歌唱爱情和生活，探讨战争和死亡。

         Five for Fighting   -  Superman

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me
inside of me,inside of me,inside of me
Only a man looking for her dream
It's not easy to be me
