Cole Kushner: 本期节目分析了Kendrick Lamar专辑《Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers》中的歌曲《Die Hard》。这首歌探讨了人性的二元性,即人既有行恶的能力,也有行善的潜力。歌曲中,Kendrick表达了他对伴侣Whitney Alford的爱与歉意,以及他努力克服自身缺陷,追求救赎的决心。他通过与Whitney Alford的爱情故事,以及对自身过往的反思,展现了个人成长与救赎的历程。歌曲中穿插的采样、意象和隐喻,都丰富了主题的表达,使歌曲更具深度和感染力。 Kendrick Lamar: 我在歌曲中表达了我对Whitney的爱,以及我对过去所犯错误的悔恨。我知道我让她等了很久,也让她承受了很多痛苦。我渴望得到她的原谅和理解,并希望她能看到我内心的善良。我正在努力克服自己的恶魔,为了我的家庭,为了我的未来,我将不遗余力地去改变自己。 Blast: 我与Kendrick合作创作了这首歌的副歌部分。Kendrick非常投入,参与了创作过程的每一个环节。这首歌的副歌部分表达了Kendrick对Whitney的爱和希望,以及他对未来关系的期许。 Amanda Reifer: 我参与了这首歌的创作,Kendrick给了我一些歌词提示,让我自由发挥我的创意。我在这首歌中表达了我对Kendrick和Whitney爱情的理解和感受,也表达了我对他们未来幸福的祝福。 supporting_evidences Kendrick Lamar: 'I hope I'm not too late / To set my demons straight / I know I made you wait / But how much can you take?' Blast: 'Every step of the process, he was on the phone with me like, 'I like this part, take out this part, and sing this part like this.'' Amanda Reifer: 'He gives a lot of space for you to express yourself creatively, so I'm expressing what I'm feeling from the music, and he's expressing the things that he wants included, and it all merged together to be what you're hearing.'
