听歌学英语:泰勒最新凄美单曲 Safe And Sound

Taylor Swift联手The Civil Wars的新曲"Safe and Sound"（安然无恙）作为电影"The HungerGames"（饥饿游戏）的原声带。The Civil Wars是一支美国独立民谣乐队。
"Safe and Sound"这首歌与泰勒以往的演唱风格不同，在吉他的伴奏下，她的歌声更显空灵，同时又有气势磅礴之感。基于电影故事有美版“大逃杀”之说，歌词凄美而绝望。

I remember tears streaming down your face
when I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
You'll be all right
no one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare¹ look out your window darling
everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging² on
hold on to this lullaby
even when the music's gone
