来到音乐会举行的场地，原来是一个小山坡，旁边是为纪念瑞柏市建市一百周年而建的纪念塔，山坡尽头搭着一个舞台。我们去的时候前面的开场演出已经开始了，观众也已经占满了场地多一半的位子。我们把带来的毯子往地上铺好，两个背包枕在头上，舒舒服服地躺下，准备下面的“重头戏”。说起来这只是我第二次现场听摇滚乐队的表演，头一次是American Idol Kelly Clarkson 的演出。不过那次演出前下大雨，耽搁了好长时间才开始，而且我们又有什么事要提前离开，因此不是太尽兴。这次演出的乐队是两个儿子都很喜欢的，我呢，耳濡目染，也喜欢上了他们的代表作：Drops of Jupiter, Calling All the Angels, Meet Virginia, 以及最新的 Hey Soul Sister。
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere I need to know that things are gonna look up Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head When you feel the world shake from the words that are said
And Im calling all angels Im calling all you angels I wont give up if you dont give up
I need a sign to let me know youre here Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear I want a reason for the way things have to be I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
When children have to play inside so they dont disappear And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we dont talk for years And futbol teams are kissing Queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until its ours
Calling all you angels
When I Look to the Sky (Dedicated to the Men and Women in the Military)
When it rains it pours and opens doors And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love That have to say goodbye
[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion that wont seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me youre here with me And you make everything alright And when I feel like Im lost something tells me youre here with me And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didnt say that caught up in some busy day And every dance on the kitchen floor we didnt have before And every sunset that well miss Ill wrap them all up in a kiss And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me When I am hoping it wont pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me there you are to show me Cause when I look to the sky something tells me youre here with me And you make everything alright And when I feel like Im lost something tells me youre here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here [X2]
