作者简介

Vitamin C原名Colleen Fitzpatrick，由Alt-rock团Eve's Plum的女主唱发声，扬弃摇滚乐团的深刻思维与沉重躁进音符，一头火辣的黄金色发线伴随活跃四射的流行舞曲调性、与Dancehall界女歌手Lady Saw高唱Smile，加上一首去年全美高中毕业季的应景国歌Graduation (Friends Forever)成功打响名号。虽然不如Britney Spears或Christina Aguilera所引领新生代女子偶像霸主般强势焰火燃起的高温热潮，却让流行乐界开始注意Vitamin C小姐所辐射出的另一波势力，足以摆脱Micky Mouse Club出身的一股大军压境般的威胁。

而她给人的感觉就像vitamin C一样，亲切而充满活力。这个1972年出生于新泽西州的女歌手最初的梦想是做一名舞蹈演员，在高中时沉迷舞蹈的她也开始加入一些乐队的演出。1988年，她获得了喜剧Hairspray中的一个角色，之后在1995年又参与了另一个电视剧的演出。在此期间，她组建了Eve's Plum乐队，并担任主唱，前后发行了2张专辑，Envy和Cherry Alive。1999年单飞后，以她自己名字命名的专辑面市，并录製了流行单曲“Smile”。然而她真正的成功开始于2000年的这首《Graduation》。

英汉歌词

Graduation (Friends Forever)So we talked all night about the rest of our livesWhere we're gonna be when we turn 25I keep thinking times will never change.Keep on thinking things will always be the sameBut when we leave this year we wont be coming backNo more hanging out cause were on a different trackAnd if you got something that you need to sayYou better say it right now cause you don‘t have another dayCause were moving on and we cant slow downThese memories are playing like a film without soundAnd I keep thinking of that night in JuneI didnt know much of love but it came too soonAnd there was me and youAnd then we got real coolStay at home talking on the telephoneWed get so excited, wed get so scaredLaughing at ourselves thinking lifes not fairAnd this is how it feels…As we go on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd as our lives change, come whateverWe will still be, friends foreverSo if we get the big jobsAnd we make the big moneyWhen we look back nowWill our jokes still be funny?Will we still remember everything we learned in school?Still be trying to break every single ruleWill little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?Can Heather find a job that wont interfere with her tan?I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbyeKeep on thinking its a time to flyAnd this is how it feels….As we go on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd as our lives change, come whateverWe will still be, friends forever(la la la la la la la la……)(We will still be, friends forever)Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?Can we survive it out there?Can we make it somehow?I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly its like were women and menWill the past be a shadow that will follow us round?Will these memories fade when I leave this townI keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbyeKeep on thinking its our time to fly….As we go on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd as our lives change, come whateverWe will still be, friends foreverAs we go on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd as our lives change, come whateverWe will still be, friends foreverAs we go on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd as our lives change, come whateverWe will still be, friends forever毕业我们曾整夜讨论以后的生活不知25岁时我们会在哪里我坚持认为时代不会更替坚持认为事物会亘古不变但当今年离开，我们就不再回来不会再呆在一起，因为我们会过着不同的生活如果你有需要讲的话最好现在就说吧，因为你不可能再多有一天因为我们在往前走，不能放慢脚步记忆就像在播放无声电影我经常想起六月的那个夜晚我对爱还了解太少但它又来得太快我和你在一起我们获得了真正的自信呆在家里和我在电话里聊天我们兴奋，也很害怕自嘲自乐，认为生活不公这就是全部的感受当生活继续，我们记得所有我们在一起的时光当生活在改变，但无论发生什幺我们仍然永远是朋友如果我们身居要职、赚得很多钱当我们回顾今天是否我们的玩笑仍然有趣？是否仍然记得我们在学校里学到的一切？是否还试着触犯每一个条例？是否聪明的小鲍比会成为股票经纪人？我们能否找到不会影响我们晒成棕褐色的工作？我坚持，坚持认为这并不是再见坚持认为已到了展翅高飞的时候这就是全部的感受是否我们会考虑未来就像我们考虑现在？
是否我们在社会上能挺下来？是否我们能获得某种成功？我猜我原以为这永远都不会结束但突然好像我们都已经长大成人是否过去会像影子一样跟随我们？是否当我离开这个地方，这些记忆会褪色？我坚持，坚持认为这并不是再见坚持认为已到了展翅高飞的时候
