I am loving living every single day
but sometimes I feel so……
I hope to find a little peace of mind
and I just want to know
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts
and what are we to be
Where is home on the Milky way of stars
I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams
I am not so far away from home
What am I
in a world so far away from home
All my life all the time
so far away from home
Without you I will be
so far away from home
If we could make it through the darkest night
we have a brighter day.
The world I see beyond your pretty eyes
makes me want to stay
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts
and what are we to be
Where is home on the Milky way of stars
I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams
I am not so far away from home
What am I
in a world so far away from home
All my life all the time
so far away from home
Without you I will be
so far away from home
I count on you
no matter what they say
cause love can find it time
I hope to be a part of you again
baby, let us shine
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts
and what are we to be
Where is home on the Milky way of stars
I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams
I am not so far away from home
What am I
in a world so far away from home
All my life all the time
so far away from home
Without you I will be
so far away from home
In my dreams
I am not so far away from home
What am I
in a world so far away from home
All my life all the time
so far away from home
Without you I will be
so far away from home

僅憑兩張專輯——「Covergirl(2002)」和「7 Years and 50 Days(2004)」,Groove Coverage樂隊輕而易舉虜掠了一代年輕樂迷的心。在專輯「Covergirl」中,單曲「God is a girl」(《上帝是女孩》)問鼎2003年歐陸舞曲榜,成為該年度最強勁的「黑馬」;動感十足的「Far away from home」(《無家可歸》),則被眾多知名DJ譽為當今舞曲最為精華的傳世之作。
歌手開始說「自己熱愛生活,只是有時會感到迷惘」——自我安慰之詞更顯內心深藏的憂傷;再往下,歌手問了三個問題之後,苦悶之情表露無疑,尤其第三個問題「Where is home on the Milky way of stars」,使人感到「家」是如此遙不可及,隨後的段落反覆吟唱「so far away from home」把悲傷之情又向前推進了一步。
歌手唱到「I count on you.....」時,鼓點聲突然消失,隱藏的悲傷與渴望之情被一下子凸現出來——愛帶來了一線希望,也許通往「家」的路就在這裡。最後,歌曲在重複的主題「far away from home」中結束。
就歌詞而言,很顯然,歌曲作者所說的「家」不是指家鄉。實際上,「家」指的是心靈的歸宿,這首Far away from home描寫了人們一種無依無靠的精神狀態,含蓄地表現出都市人歡笑背後內心的無奈、精神的空虛與迷茫。儘管歌曲中隱藏的情感相當消極,但歌手並沒有絕望,因為有愛的存在。
愛是唯一的精神依靠,它帶來了希望,儘管有時也帶來痛苦。但一切努力都是值得的,因為愛「let us shine」。
