Say Something

说些什么

。。。。。。。

Michael的推荐语：

Say Something这首歌几年前我就听到了，怎么说呢，它所表达的情绪十分饱满，让我刚一听到就沦陷了，尤其是副歌部分，完美的和声部分十分吸引人，歌词也写的十分有力，绝对是一首值得推荐的好歌。

"Say Something" is a song by American pop duo A Great Big World from their debut album, Is There Anybody Out There? (2013). Written by the duo members—Ian Axel and Chad King—alongside Mike Campbell, the song was originally recorded by Axel for his solo album This Is the New Year (2011). It was later released as a single by the duo on September 3, 2013, by Epic Records. Following its usage on American reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance, the track gained attention from singer Christina Aguilera, who wanted to collaborate with A Great Big World on the song. Soon afterwards, a re-recorded version of "Say Something" with Aguilera was released on November 4, 2013.

“Say Something”是美国流行歌曲，是A Great Big World的首张专辑《Anybody Out There?》（2013）中的一首歌。这首歌是由乐队中的两名成员Ian Axel和Chad King与Mike Campbell共同创作的。这首歌最初是由Axel为他的个人专辑《 This Is the New Year》（2011）录制的。2013年9月3日，在由史诗唱片发行的专辑《Duo》中作为一部单曲发行。在美国真人秀节目《So You Think You Can Dance》中这首歌曲被使用并引起了歌手Christina Aguilera的注意。不久之后，2013年11月4日发布了一个与Christina Aguilera重新录制的“Say Something”版本。

"Say Something" is a slow-tempo piano ballad that talks about a breakup, where the lover is implored to make a statement that could potentially cause the singer to change their mind, with the singers expressing humility, sadness and regret. In the single version with Aguilera, she plays a ghost of the lover to whom the song is addressed as she traces the steps of the lead vocal. The song was praised by music critics for its powerful lyrics, the emotional composition and Aguilera's vocal delivery. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, the song earned A Great Big World and Aguilera a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

“Say Something”是一首慢节奏的钢琴民谣，它讲述的是分手的情人被恳求发表一个声明，这个声明可能会导致歌手的创作主旨改变，而歌手们其实是表达谦卑、悲伤和遗憾。在与Aguilera的单曲版本中，她扮演一个恋人的幽灵，这首歌的内容是她由追踪主角的脚步一点点浮现的。这首歌以其富有冲击力的歌词、情感构成和Aguilera声音的传递而受到音乐评论家的赞扬。在第57届格莱美年度颁奖典礼上，因为这首歌，A Great Big World和Aguilera获得了格莱美最佳流行组合/团体表演奖”。

Say Something

Lyrics

[Intro: A Great Big World]

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

[Verse 1: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

[Verse 2: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

[Chorus: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

[Verse 3: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

[Chorus: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

[Outro: A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera]
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...
