动画片“机器人总动员”《Wall-E》主题歌 "Down To Earth" 获81届奥斯卡电影原创歌曲提名。
《Wall-E》主题歌“Down to Earth”由托马斯·纽曼和彼特·加布埃尔共同创作,彼得·加布里埃尔希望能在奥斯卡上完整演唱这首歌曲,但奥斯卡制作人只给他60-65秒时间,彼特·加布埃尔认为在这么短的时间里无法真正展现出这首歌曲的魅力,于是决定退出表演。
因此在第81届奥斯卡颁奖典礼中唱down to earth的是歌手约翰-勒珍德(John Legend)与索威托灵歌合唱(Soweto Gospel Choir)共同演唱的。
歌曲:Down To Earth
歌手:Peter Gabriel
Did you think that your feet had been bound 你觉得自己的双脚被
by what gravity brings to the ground 重力带到地上的东西束缚住吗
Did you feel you were tricked 你觉得自己被
by the future you picked? 你选择的未来愚弄了吗?
Well come on down 好 下来吧
All these rules don't apply when you're high in the sky 当你在高高的天空上时,所有规则都用不上了
So come on down 那么就下来吧
Come on down 下来吧
We're coming down to the ground 我们下来到了地上
There's no better place to go 没有其他更好的去处了
We've got snow up on the mountains 我们让雪落在山上
We've got rivers down below 我们让河水下低处流动
We're coming down to the ground 我们下来到了地上
To hear the birds sing in the trees 去聆听鸟儿在树梢上歌唱
And the land will be looked after 大地会被照顾好
We send the seeds out in the breeze 我们在微风中撒下了种子
Did you think you'd escaped from routine 你觉得自己可以
By changing the script and the scene? 用改变字迹和情节的方法,从例行公事中脱身吗?
Despite all you made of it 尽管你都这样做了
You're always afraid of the change 但你还是害怕改变
You've got a lot on your chest 你胸有成竹
Well you can come as my guest 好,你可以成为我的客人
So come on down 那么就下来吧
Come on down 下来吧

Like the fish in the ocean dep 仿佛海里的鱼儿
We felt at home in the sea 我们觉得大海是我们的家
We learned to live off the good land 我们学会离开那美好的陆地生活
We learned to climb up a tree 我们学会爬上树梢
Then we got up on two legs 之后我们用两条腿站起来
But we wanted to fly 但我们想飞翔
When we messed up our homeland 当我们把家园搞得一团糟时
and set sail for the sky 就向天空启程
We're coming down to the ground 我们下来到了地上
There's no better place to go 没有其他更好的去处了
We've got snow up on the mountains 我们让雪落在山上
We've got rivers down below 我们让河水下低处流动
We're coming down to the ground 我们下来到了地上
To hear the birds sing in the trees 去聆听鸟儿在树梢上歌唱
And the land will be looked after 大地会被照顾好

We're coming down 我们在降落
Comin' down to earth 降落到地球上
Like babies at birth 就像婴儿初生
Comin' down to earth 降落到地球上
Redefine your priorities 重新定义你的优先权
These are extraordinary qualities 这些是不平凡的品格

歌手简介:
Peter Gabriel(彼得-盖布瑞尔)
生于1950年2月13日,出生地是英国伦敦,他是个音乐鬼才,不但是乐团主唱,而键盘、敲击乐、直笛、以及合成乐器都是拿手绝活。Peter Gabriel是1970年代红极一时的摇滚乐团「创世纪」(Genesis)的团长,鼎鼎大名的摇滚乐巨星Phil Collins则是乐团的鼓手。就摇滚乐的领域而言,创世纪乐团让所谓的「激进摇滚乐」(Progressive Rock)成为更华丽、更具戏剧性的乐风。
在当代摇滚音乐史上,Peter Gabriel可说是一位极为特立独行的艺人,他从早期的非主流前卫曲风发展到后来成为一位流行音乐巨星,最后更成为一位世界音乐的爱好者,其创作历程的变迁与发展可说是精彩纷呈。
