What if

清夜难眠，忽然想到喜欢听的一首歌曲，算是首慢歌，在这儿推荐给大家。

2005年春天，那时候还在荷兰念书，酷玩乐队把新专集的广告做到了每个火车站的站牌上（图），新专辑却总是无处觅仙踪。各大MTV频道也一直在播放着同一首造势单曲speed of sound的MV，不过感觉四平八稳，只能打7分。

然而，凭着我对酷玩乐队的信任和他们前两张专集的功力，我隐约感觉到这张新专集一定会有更加不凡的表现。后来的事实证明了我的预感。先贴上一曲 "What if"。请注意主唱的招牌式真假声转换已经炉火纯青了，比起第二、特别是第一张专集，略显青涩的感觉一扫而光。

what if there was no life?
nothing wrong, nothing right.
what if there was no time?
and no reason or rhyme.
what if you should decide,
that you don't want me there by your side.
that you don't want me there in your life.
what if i got it wrong
and no poem or song
could put right what i got wrong
or make you feel i belong
what if you should decide
that you don't want me there by your side
that you don't want me there in your life.
oooh, that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
oooh, that's right
how can you know it if you don't even try
oooh, that's right
every step that you take
could be your biggest mistake
it could bend or it could break
but that's the risk that you take
what if you should decide
that you don't want me there in your life
that you don't want me there by your side.
music
oooh, that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
oooh, that's right
how can you know it when you don't even try
oooh, that's right

ohhhhh
oooh, that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
oooh, that's right
you know that darkness always turns into light
oooh, that's right
