音乐咖啡厅:Frank Turner - Losing Days

在音乐这条大道上经过长时间的不懈努力，Frank Turner这张混合着布鲁斯摇滚、民谣摇滚的第三张个人专辑终于展示在我们面前，作为英国已经解散的一支并未拥有太多名声的后硬核乐队Million Dead的主唱，Frank Turner所发行过的三张个人专辑，已经明确地昭示着他已经由早期的生猛渐渐转变为如今的厚重平静。

歌词：

Song：Losing Days
Artist：Frank Turner

Oh my broken battered¹ body,
In the days when I was younger,
Used to fix itself quick sharp
After every slip and stumble.
But these days I'm collecting scars that don't seem to fade,
Cuts and bruises² that won't go away.

And I used to think that I
Would never live past twenty five,
And when you think like that, each day
Is a gift if you survive.
But I've survived too long for my side of the deal,
And as I reach that shore I'm not sure how to feel.

I keep losing days
That used to take a lifetime
In the blinking of an eye.
And all these small ideas
Are suddenly commitments,
As greatness slips on by.

I remember well the day that I got my first tattoo³:
I was so scared before and after I was so proud when it was new.
But these days I've gone and got me many more,
And sometimes I get more when I get bored.
One for every year I've lost
