歌词
[Verse 1]
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
[Chorus]
And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say
[Verse 2]
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
[Chorus]
And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say
[Outro]
So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

多添一点:
今天分享一首 Oasis的 《Don’t Look Back in Anger》。
今天来首绿洲的歌,这首歌来自他们1995年的专辑《(What 's the Story) morningglory ?》,是专辑中的第四首单曲。这首歌取得了巨大的成功,以至于绿洲的每个歌单都有这首曲子。在发行后不久,它就登上了爱尔兰和英国单曲榜的榜首。尽管这首歌在美国百强单曲榜中仅排名第 55 位,但在芬兰、冰岛和瑞典闯入前 10 名,又在苏格兰获得了第一名。这首歌还登上了许多杰出的榜单,包括在 NME 的“50 支最具爆发力的合唱团”排名中名列第一。
神奇的是,这首歌是吉他手完成的,而最关键的一点是他根本不知道自己怎么写出来的!因为写这首歌时他磕了药(不提倡,不提倡啊!)。后来在采访中他说:“打个比喻,这首歌其实来自其他地方”。部分歌词受到约翰列侬的影响,从标题和副歌来看,这首歌表达的是不要总是陷入过去的消极回忆中,勇敢向前看。可以说,歌曲创作者从许多随机灵感中组合出来了一首歌曲,其中一些灵感来自于他最喜欢的艺术家、他个人过去和随意的想象,但最终它成为英国历史上最受尊敬的热门歌曲之一。
2017年5月底,在Ariana Grande的演唱会上,这首歌成为恐怖袭击后曼彻斯特精神和抵抗的象征,当时一群曼彻斯特人在一分钟的默哀结束时开始唱这首歌,向袭击中的受害者致敬。
可怜的 Oasis 的创始成员之一鼓手 Tony McCarroll ,在发出这张专辑后被乐队开除了。2009 年 6 月Noel Gallagher 告诉Q杂志,在这首歌的演奏上看得出McCarroll并不是一个非常好的鼓手。他解释说,“在进入最后一段副歌那里,他甚至不能在一条直线上演奏。“
