天籁音乐:Whole World Around

2005年一首Bad Day让辛苦打拼乐坛多年的Daniel Powter惊艳地闯进了公众的视线，2008年Daniel Powter发行的专辑Under the Radar中，这首旋律婉转的Whole World Around也是福特New Mondeo的广告曲，非常动人。



Whole World Around

Daniel Powter


Life's been good, I can't complain so far
Designer clothes, expensive caviar
And gated homes to keep the wolves at bay
Tinted¹ glass to hide my guilt² and shame

Neon signs and vagrants³ at the door
Broken values, needles, liquor stores
And won't somebody help me to believe
Help me to deny the things I see

Now whatever comes your way
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
But when it all comes down you make it through

You got the whole world around
You got the whole world around
Something tells me not to make a scene
Open up your heart and let me in

I've traveled far enough to meet my own demise⁴
Seems like every one I know still wears the same disguise
Take me, rape⁵ me, push me down
As long as I'm understood
Like the soldiers view from the bunkers to
The towers on Park Avenue, yeah yeah yeah...

Something tells me not to make a scene
Open up your heart and let me in

You got the whole world around
You got the whole world around
Something tells me not to make a scene
Ah... open up yor heart and let me in
You got the whole world around
You got the whole world around
You got the whole world around
You got the whole world around
(You got the)got the whole world around
(You got the)You got the whole world around
(Yeah)You got the whole world around
Yeah, open up yor heart and let me in!
Don't be...
