Long Live ("For You") — 年轻万岁
Speak Now 是 Taylor Swift 的第三张个人专辑，在这张专辑中，她包办了所有的创作，参与了专辑从制作到包装设计等等的绝大部分工作。技术方面的评价我也不懂，就留给别人吧。我只想说说一个TS粉的话。作为一个TS粉，我认为 Long Live 是她这张新专以及以前所有专中最好的一曲。
这首歌是唱给她所有的歌迷的，正如歌词本中的“secret message”，这一首就是两个字：“For You”。（我想作为一个TS粉，应该都知道她在歌词本中用故意用一些大写的字母来拼出隐藏信息的这个小心思了吧。）
来看看歌词吧。
I say remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "this is absurd"
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, "long live the look on your face"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
And you take a moment
Promise me this:
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
All the candlelight shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
总有一天我们也会老去，总有一天我们也会说再见。也许有了自己的孩子，当他们指着我们当年的照片时，答应我告诉他们我的名字，告诉他们当年的情景，告诉他们我们也曾年轻过。这一天我们会被铭记。

有些人对TS这种歌手很不待见，甚至不屑。当她一次又一次创造Billboard销量纪录时，他们说这都是昙花一现，销量什么都是浮云。当她力压阿姆、Lady Gaga、Kings of Leon和刚去世的流行之神MJ获得全美音乐奖年度艺人时，他们说小屁孩们就是喜欢刷票，歌迷评选的奖项说明不了任何问题。当她在VMA的颁奖舞台上被Kanye West抢了话筒，他们幸灾乐祸。当她在20岁时就包揽格莱美4项大奖，包括分量最重的年度专辑时，他们又酸酸的说什么格莱美的评委都瞎了眼，让她撞了大运，还不忘讽刺一下她的现场表演。是啊，TS是有很多缺点，但哪个人是一点缺点没有呢？鄙视一下TS这种伪乡村流行泡泡糖歌手就显得您品味高端了？
但是TS远远不止是一个流行歌手。她是有很多小屁孩歌迷，但是他们喜欢TS不止是因为她的外形，或者是她能弹几个吉他和弦，哼几句抓耳的曲子。他们喜欢的是TS在歌曲中表达出的一个真实的自己，一个小屁孩的自己，有着简单的喜怒哀乐。这也就是TS不同于其他很多包装出来的偶像明星的地方。她的歌曲传达出的是真诚、年轻和积极。她在歌迷心中不止是一个流行偶像，更是一个role model。当你老去时，回想当年，你也不会对于年少的自己追求这样一个流行偶像而感到好笑。当你的孩子指着当年的照片时，你会告诉他们Taylor Swift这个名字，告诉他们这青春无悔的时光，告诉他们年轻万岁。
