欧美金曲 |《Stan》曲中竟蕴含着如此悲伤的故事

2018年08月02日 走遍美国



《Stan》由美国男歌手Eminem演唱,词曲由The 45 King和Eminem创作,副歌部分截取于Dido的歌曲《Thank you》。


  现场版


歌词中写到一个叫Stan的粉丝,他写了很多信给Eminem,但没得到回复。他最后被愤怒和疯狂吞没,选择了极端的手段:服下大量安眠药,痛饮五瓶伏特加,将他的未婚妻绑在后备箱,录下了对Eminem最后的话,却不知道怎么寄出,就在这时冲下了大桥,淹没在一片沉寂的水花中。


Eminem想以此警示歌迷,分清他歌中的虚实。他的朋友PROOF在采访中说,“当他的歌迷出事时我们刚从米兰回来,那个叫Stan的歌迷简直是太疯狂了。”


也许这个名字不是真实的,但是故事并不是虚构的。Eminem唱这首歌的目的是希望他的歌迷们不要像Stan那样,要好好地活着。

专辑:The Marshall Mathers LP

演唱:Eminem & Dido
