"A brand new me" 开出租车时听到的歌

余下

那是2013年8月22日，我接到一个Radio job。从悉尼东区coogee客人的家中接人，送他去Bondi junction。

上车后没多久，客人问我可不可以把自己随身带的CD通过出租车的CD播放器放出来听。

这当然没问题。

一边开车，一边客人和我听着CD放出的歌曲。很好听的歌曲，没听过。

“感觉怎么样？喜欢听吗？”

“我很喜欢第一首歌......"

“这实际是一首歌曲。是一首歌曲的三个部分，这是我自己写的歌。”    客人说

“哪里可以买到这cd？”   我问道

“买不到，这是我和朋友刚写的歌曲。这cd是我自己听的。”


于是，我们又一起听了第二遍。

“
......
A brand new day
A brand new way
To live my life with light and laughter

A brand new me
......

”

“......新的一天，新的方向，新的我......” 这歌词和旋律突然就戳到我心里了。

客人又问我什么，但这时我突然说不出话来，哽咽了。我头转过去，面对着客人，指了指我的眼睛。
我的视线已经模糊，眼里全是泪水。在这么一个阳光明媚的日子，听着动听的歌曲，在我开出租车的路上，突然各种感受涌上心头，那一瞬间，我几乎哭了。想想移民的这几年......

“bondi junction快到了。谢谢你的歌，我很喜欢，今天你不用付我出租费了，谢谢” 我对客人说

“我可以留下你的email吗？” 客人问

“当然可以。”  

为什么客人要我email呢？

这个提问角度我没想到。 客人是男士。

客人要email信箱是想把这个音乐发给你？

“既然你喜欢我写的这首歌，那么我可以把这首歌发邮件送给你吗？做为你不收我出租车费的感谢。”

当晚我收到了客人的歌。

Hi 余下,

I'm glad you like our song!

Here are the lyrics:

PART 1
Floating down life’s winding stream
Flowing with the water
Feeling the forever dream
Awakening to the dawn of

A brand new day
A brand new way
To live my life with light and laughter

A brand new me
For the world to see
Everything is so much simpler than it seems

Sail across the swirling seas
Seeming ever lighter
Living like I’m so serene
Eyes open to the light of

A brand new day
A brand new way
To live my life with light and laughter

A brand new me
Oh, can't you see?
Everything is so much simpler than it seems

PART 2
Go with the flow
Say hello to life
Be patient with yourself
Wash away the strife

Here we all are
On our tiny little rock
Travelling at a hundred thousand k

Discovering who we are
And why we are here
To love one another
And spread a little cheer
To love one another
And spread a little cheer
To love one another

PART 3
Make our contribution
To the cosmic revolution
Love one another
And spread a little cheer

A human resolution
To finding a solution
Love one another
And rise above the fear



With peace and love,

XX

Hi XX,

I'm so happy and exciting.  Because I understand why the song's name is "cosmic revolution" after I read the lyric. And why the song has three parts, has three different rhythm.

part 1, 'A brand new day, way, me', express I want to change.
part 2, 'Say hello to life, Be patient with yourself, Travelling at a hundred thousand k', express how to change.
part 3, 'Make our contribution, To the cosmic revolution and human',  express why we change and the result of change.

three parts step by step, so three different rhythms.

I'm not sure if my understand is right.

I remember you told me you compose the lyric and Glenn Bidmead make the music,rhythm. My question is which compose early, lyric or music?  I guess should be lyric.

Another thing 'Travelling at a hundred thousand k'  use 'k'  instead 'kilometre'  is very good.

I enjoy the 'cosmic revolution' music and lyric.

thank you again
