歌词
[Verse 1: Paolo Nutini]
We are proud individuals
Living for the city
But the flames couldn’t go much higher
We find Gods and religions
To paint us with salvation
But no one, no nobody
Can give you, the power
[Chorus: Paolo Nutini]
To rise, over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
[Verse 2: Paolo Nutini]
Oh, that’s life
That’s dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society
[Chorus: Paolo Nutini]
From which we’ll rise, over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
[Refrain]
You’ve just got to hold on
You’ve just got to hold on
[Interlude: Charles Chaplin]
“To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed. The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You, the people, have the power to make this life. Free and beautiful. To make this life a wonderful adventure. Let us use that power - let us all unite!”
[Chorus: Paolo Nutini]
And we’ll rise
Over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Into freedom
[Chorus: Paolo Nutini]
From which we’ll rise, over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into
Freedom, freedom
From which we’ll rise, over love
Over hate
Through this iron sky that’s fast becoming our mind
Over fear and into freedom
Freedom, freedom
[Outro: Paolo Nutini]
Oh, rain on me
Rain on me

今天分享一首 Paolo Nutini 的《Iron Sky》
这首歌来自他2014年专辑《Caustic Love》。这张专辑在英国排名第一，之后创下了双铂金销量。而这首歌也获得了2014年Q奖的最佳单曲奖。
这是一首深情的、史诗般的民谣，歌词激动人心:“我们找到了神和宗教，/给我们救赎/但没有人/没有人/能给你力量。”创作者对于现代科技所带来的机器化、电子化表达了恐惧和抗议。个体是脆弱的，“那些连家人也不用养活的机器人，正在抢走你的工作。”
配合这首歌发行了一部视频短片。由丹尼尔·沃尔夫(《B计划》导演)执导的这段9分钟的视频展现了未来的反乌托邦景象，在那里人们饱受折磨，但偶尔还能跳舞。中间插入了一段演讲，取材于查理·卓别林(Charlie Chaplin)在20世纪40年代讽刺希特勒的电影《大独裁者》(The Great Dictator)中的演讲：
“不要把你们自己交给这些不正常的人，他们是机械人，机械思想，机械心灵。而你们不是机械，不是牛马，你们是人！你们，人类，有能力创造这样的生活。自由和美丽。让生命成为一场精彩的冒险。让我们使用这种力量，让我们团结起来!”
这样一首歌，在新年开工后的第一个周末听，再恰当不过了。
