【独立民谣】Things You've Never Done - Passenger
如果想得到从未拥有过的东西，那么你必须去做从未做过的事情。如果你没做，当你老了以后，也许会后悔这一生过得如此单调乏味。
Passenger是来自英国的民谣摇滚乐队，于2003年5月在英国Brighton and Hove创建。乐队主要成员是主唱兼词作者Mike Rosenberg、以及作曲者Andrew Phillips。07年发行了首张专辑Wicked Man's Rest，之后团员Andrew Phillips离开，乐队也解散。成员Mike Rosenberg以/Passenger为艺名继续歌唱。

Blue eyed boy wonder
那个眼睛湛蓝的小孩心怀好奇
Never used to ponder on what life may hide

Now you’re older

the nights are so much colder
长夜也变得冷冽许多
Never even told her how you feel inside

You were so proud with your head up in the white clouds
你如此得意忘形，被奇思妙想冲昏头脑
She’d call you so loud but you’d never know
她大声呼唤着你，而你却毫不知觉
Now that you’re wiser you’d never compromise her
现在你智慧渐长，但从不为她让步妥协
Every day you’d realise her
每天你都恍然想起她的好
But this bird has flown
可是，那幸福的青鸟已一飞不返
And you’ve blown out all your candles one by one
是你亲手将自己的烛火逐一扑灭
And you curse yourself for things you never done
现在回首往昔未竟的种种，你的心中空余自责···
She would wait for you

idolise adore you

love and reassure you you couldn’t let it be
深深爱着你，让你安下心来，而你却留不住这份美好
you let it linger
你任由它即离不定，徘徊苟延
slip on through your fingers
从你的指间匆匆流逝
so that september she moved across the sea
那个九月，她动身去到大洋的彼岸
how your face dropped
你耷拉着脸，惆怅不已
how your heart stopped
你的心跳像是戛然而止
sitting at the bus stop when they told you that she’d gone
呆坐在公车站，耳边尽是旁人细叙纷纷：她已离开了···
so you run to the harbour
你一路奔向那个港湾
need to tell her that you love her

as the boat disappears you never felt so alone
船只消失于海平线之际，你才发觉自己未曾这般寂寞
‘cause you’ve blown out all your candles one by one

Where were you when her hour of need had come?

Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome

Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why

So your answer don’t be scared of failure
