今天和你们推荐的歌，估计你们都听过~ Lucas Graham 的 Seven Years. 但它其实想表达些什么呢……
[ 英文参考 ]
The vocalist Lukas Graham/'ɡreiəm/ Forchhammer described "7 Years" as a song about his life so far and what he hopes to achieve in the future.
The lyrics go as far as the age of 60 is because his father died at 61 and he needed to "pass it to believe it."
He was raised in a Copenhagen/kəupən'heiɡən/ and smoked weed for the first time when he was 11.
"It's a song about growing older. I'm also coming to a realization that being a father is the most important thing.
My biggest dream is not to be some negative old dude, but to have my kids' friends say, 'You're going to visit your dad? Say hi! He's awesome.' I had a perfect father."
