It's morning
I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day
In this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world
Let's come together
More than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go
Some people
It's a pity
They go all their lives and never know
How to love or to let love go
But it's alright now
We'll make it through this somehow
And we'll paint the perfect picture
All the colors of this world
will run together more than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go
We may never find our reason to shine
But here and now this is our time
And I may never find the meaning of life
But for this moment I am fine
So
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life
Come on over
Down to the corner
We can leave it all behind ??
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go
Rob Thomas出生在德国的一个军事基地,青少年时期经常往返于祖母居住的南加州和母亲居住的佛罗里达州。17岁时,他放弃了高中学业与不正常的家庭生活,靠着搭便车在美国东南部一带流浪,而当时他生活中最重要的爱好就是音乐。
Rob Thomas在自己流浪的生涯中,一直带着一盘录音带,里面收录着Al Green、Van Morrison、Elvis Costello、R.E.M等人的歌曲,他用这些音乐来激励自己。在他尚未闯出
他们成团后便与Atlantic唱片公司签约,并在制作人Matt Serletic(曾制作过Collective Soul、Aerosmith的专辑)的掌舵下,于1996年发行第一张专辑《Yourself Or Someone Like You》。这张专辑共推出四支单曲Push、3am、Real World和Back 2 Good,支支都成为电台的最爱,而这四支有趣的音乐录像带也在MTV及VH1电视台获得极高的播放率。
纵横乐坛10年,Rob Thomas被公认是现代音乐史上的指标性人物。身为Matchbox 20合唱团的创作人及主唱,同时也担任着灵魂人物的角色。他在1996年-2003年陆续推出《Yourself Or Someone Like You》、《Mad Season》和《More Than You Think You Are》三张专辑,Rob Thomas带领Matchbox 20缔造了8首全美排行榜冠军单曲,全球累积销量超过2500万张,成绩斐然。
Rob Thomas个人魅力更是所向披靡,他曾拿过3座葛莱美奖、13次BMI金奖,蝉连两届Billboard年度最佳创作人。1999年,Rob与Santana合写合唱的单曲《Smooth》,不仅帮助Santana东山再起重返流行歌坛,自己也捧得3项Grammy大奖,向全球乐迷展示了自己独树一帜的创作实力。
Rob Thomas经过五年构思,在2005年推出首张单飞个人专辑《Something To Be》,发行第一周就空降全美专辑榜冠军宝座。
Rob Thomas说:“你的事业所反映的,只是你的一小部份,你写下的大部份东西,还是应该以情绪为基础,如果你卖出了十亿张的专辑,而你唯一能写下的东西,就只是这十亿张销售量的话,你可能是一个很肤浅的人,你的生活中一定还有一些其它的东西值得写下,不仅是‘我很有钱又有名’之类的话。因为天时地利人和,我们才能获得这样的荣耀。我们不会认为自己有多了不起,因为我们永远不会忘记,这一切的一切都是为了音乐。”
