Maroon5一直是以搖滾與舞池音樂的結合體著稱,歌曲Payphone深刻地體現了他們一直以來的路線,稍當微帶靈魂氣息與戲劇性的唱腔,加上混合器的製作,動感之外還帶來一絲夏日的清涼感!
Payphone(中文名:付費電話)是美國流行樂隊Maroon 5第四張錄音室專輯《Overexposed》中的一首單曲。
單曲於2012年4月16日首發,並邀來說唱歌手Wiz Khalifa助陣。曲目描寫的是一段失敗的感情,所有的浪漫時間已經不再重現。
歌詞寫得也十分貼切,那種想要挽回一份感情,對回憶的珍視,拿著電話想打給愛人,卻又有些遲疑的心情,何嘗不是年輕時的我們所做過的呢?
i’m at a payphone trying to call home,all of my change i spent on you
我在公用電話前,嘗試打電話回家,所有的零錢都用來打給你了
where are the times gone baby,it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
那些時光都到哪裡去了,baby,這些都是錯的,那些我們為二人所作的計劃在那裡?
