本期为大家介绍的棒球经典歌曲是Eddie Vedder的”All the Way”,又名”We’ll go all the way”。

这首歌的作者和演唱者Eddie Vedder是美国著名摇滚乐队Pearl Jam的前主唱。Vedder出生于芝加哥,其后辗转其它地方度过童年,长大后又回到芝加哥学习和生活,并在这里开始自己的歌唱事业。他非常热爱棒球运动,是大联盟球队芝加哥小熊队(Chicago Cubs)铁杆粉丝,并引以为豪。从1998年以来,他已经多次在小熊队主场——芝加哥Wrigley Field棒球场为大家献艺,在第七局中间休息时表演《Take Me Out to the Ball Game》,有时也为比赛开球。

为了给心爱的球队加油鼓劲,他在2007年专门谱写了这首歌。歌词感人至深,述说着浓浓故乡情,传递着传统、自豪、团队、勇气、信念,和不屈不挠的进取精神。棒球对美国人而言不仅是一项有趣的运动,也是融入生命的故土情怀,代表着家庭与归属感。这首歌连续多年荣登棒球金曲榜,也受到多位美国资深棒球专家推荐。

这里还有一个好玩的地方,球场周围建筑上设有“屋顶看台”,这在其他球场都是没有的。视野可是相当好哦。

歌词赏析:

Don’t let anyone say that it’s just a game

For I’ve seen other teams and it’s never the same

When you’re born in Chicago you’re blessed and you’re healed

The first time you walk into Wrigley Field

Our heroes wear pinstripes;heroes in blue

Give us the chance to feel like heroes too

Whether we’ll win and if we should lose

Some day we’ll go all the way

Yeah! Someday we’ll go all the way

We are one with the cubs,with the cubs we’re in love

Yeah,hold our head high as the underdogs

We are not fairweather by farweather fans

We are like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands

There’s magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard

The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score

A world full of greed,I could never want more

Someday we’ll go all the way

Yeah! Someday we’ll go all the way

And here’s to the men and legends we’ve known

Teaching us faith and giving us hope

United we stand and united we’ll fall

Down to our knees the day we win it all

Ernie Banks said “Oh,let’s play two”

Or did he mean 200 years

In the same ball park,our diamond,our jewel

The home of our joy and our tears

Keeping traditions and wishes made new

Place where our grandfathers,fathers they grew

Spiritual feeling if I ever knew

And if you aren’t been I am sorry for you

When the day comes with that last winning run

And I’m crying and covered in beer

I’ll look to the sky and know I was right

That Someday we’ll go all the way

Yeah! Someday we’ll go all the way
