The lead single from Grammy Award-winning duo Dan + Shay's upcoming album "Young" is a clear shift away from the wedding songs that make up a large part of the country pair's discography.

"Say So," with its generous and optimistic chorus, deals with the topic of suicide prevention.

《说出来》以其慷慨而乐观的副歌探讨了预防自杀这一主题

It was written as a tribute to Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney's late mentor Ben Vaughn, who was the head of Warner Chappell Music Publishing and died by suicide a year before.

这首歌是为了纪念丹·斯迈尔斯和谢伊·穆尼已故的导师本·沃恩而创作的,沃恩曾任华纳查普尔音乐出版公司的负责人,一年前自杀身亡

"If you're going through hell, you're not alone," Mooney sings.

"如果你正在经历地狱般的困境你并不孤单,"穆尼唱道

"If you need somebody, say so."

"如果你需要有人陪伴就说出来。"

For one of the first times in our career, I found myself thinking, ‘Im not entirely certain we ought to take this on,’” Smyers said.

在我们职业生涯中,我头一次发现自己心想:‘我并不完全确定我们是否应该接下这件事,’”斯迈尔斯说

But in the studio, it became an inevitabilityeven though they were uncertain.

但在录音室里这成了不可避免之事——尽管他们曾心存疑虑

We were just sharing stories about our friend.

我们只是在分享关于我们朋友故事

And it just fell out of us.

而这首歌就这样自然而然地流露出来。

A verse and a chorus in, and I think we were all just like, ‘I dont know, man.

写了一段主歌和一段副歌之后我想我们都有同感,‘我不知道,老兄

Is this too heavy to tackle?’” Smyers continued.

这个话题是不是太沉重难以驾驭?’”斯迈尔斯继续说道

Collaborating on the demo with co-writers David Hodges and Jimmy Robbins proved to be a cathartic experience.

与共同创作者大卫·霍奇斯吉米·罗宾斯合作制作样带被证明是一次宣泄情感的经历

We owed it to our friend Ben,” he said.

“我们欠我们的朋友本一份情,”他说

We owe it to the community, to whom he meant so much.

“我们欠社区一份情,他对社区意义重大

And I feel we owed it to ourselves to at least see that one through to the finish line.”

而且我觉得我们也欠自己一份情至少要看到那件事走到终点。”

What they failed to grasp was that the day they commenced work on the song coincided with what would have been Vaughns 50th birthday.

他们未能领会的他们开始创作这首歌的那一天恰逢沃恩本应庆祝的五十岁生日。

It was more than a coincidence,” he remarked.

这绝非巧合,”他评论道

That was the sign that this song could help somebody.”

那是一个征兆表明这首歌能够帮助到某些人。”

Say Somay be the heaviest song onYoung,” but it also serves as the album's thematic coreten autobiographical tracks of crossover country that reflect their lives now with a new emotional openness, which Mooney describes asa very life-giving thing.”

说出来或许是年轻》专辑中最沉重的一首歌它也充当了专辑的主题核心——十首自传式的跨界乡村歌曲,以新的情感开放度反映了他们当下的生活穆尼将其描述为一件极具生命力的事情”。

The album opens with its title track, the stripped-back acoustic arpeggio Young,” which Smyers describes as a message from your future self to your present and past self, about the passage of time and appreciating the moment.”

专辑同名主打歌《年轻》开场,这是一首简约的原声琶音作品斯迈尔斯将其描述为“来自未来自我对现在和过去自我的信息,关乎时间的流逝与珍惜当下。”

Yet there is an additional, gendered dimension to this.

然而还涉及一个额外的性别维度

"MenI just think, perhaps I'm generalizingdon't do as well at sharing their feelings and emotions.

男性——我只是觉得也许我在以偏概全——在分享自己的感受和情感方面做得并不那么好

And I say that because that's me," he said.

我之所以这么说是因为我自己就是这样,”他说道

You possess a formidable resilience, yet you suppress your emotions.

你拥有惊人的韧性压抑着自己的情感

However, when I eventually dismantled that barrier, it proved transformative for me.

然而当我最终拆除那道屏障时,对我而言具有变革性的意义

I believe that particular song addresses the experience of maturing as a man.

我认为那首特定的歌曲探讨了作为男性走向成熟心路历程

That is yet another complex topic, which might also explain why, before creating the ten songs that make up "Young," Dan + Shay wrote and abandoned an entire album's worth of material.

这又是一个复杂的话题或许也能解释为何在创作组成《年轻》十首歌曲之前,丹和谢伊写出并放弃一整张专辑的材料

The tracks that formed the final collection required time, open and honest communication, and a good deal of self-reflection.

构成最终专辑曲目需要时间坦诚开放的沟通,以及大量的自我反思

This may explain why this album carries a more pronounced religious undertone than its predecessorsevident in the singleHer, The Kids and Jesusand the two allusions to a King James Bible woven throughout the record.

这或许可以解释为何这张专辑比其前作带有更为显著的宗教底蕴——这在其单曲《她、孩子和耶稣》以及贯穿整张唱片的两处对钦定版圣经的引用中显而易见

Her, the kids and Jesus,” thats a fairly accurate snapshot of my life at present,” Mooney remarked.

孩子和耶稣,”穆尼评论道,“这相当准确地反映我目前的生活状况。”

Griefand affectiontake many forms throughoutYoung.”

悲伤——以及深情——《年轻》中呈现出多种形态

From the ode to a young adults first pet (“Dogs in Our Twenties”) to a twist on the traditional love song format and the hope that your partner dies before you (the90s country-channelingThe Old Guys”), the songs are delivered with tenderness.

对年轻人第一只宠物的颂歌(《我们二十多岁的狗》),到对传统情歌形式的颠覆,以及希望伴侣先于自己离世的期许(那首致敬90年代乡村乐的《老家伙们》),这些歌曲都以温柔的方式呈现

The latter includes the albums sole feature, Cody Johnsona neo-traditionalist in country music who, on paper, may seem at odds with Dan + Shays genre-hybridity.

后者包含了专辑中唯一的合作嘉宾科迪·约翰逊——一位乡村音乐中的新传统主义者,从理论上讲,他似乎与丹和谢伊的流派融合风格格格不入。

After all, these are the same guys who recorded the multiplatinum crossover hit10,000 Hoursfeaturing Justin Bieber in 2019.

毕竟正是这些人于2019年录制了与贾斯汀·比伯合作多白金跨界热单《一万小时》

We occupy a very different space in country music,” agrees Smyers.

我们在乡村音乐中占据一个非常不同的位置,”斯迈尔斯表示赞同

Even vocallyMooneys got a high register, Johnson sings low, and when theyre all singing together, “Its, like, perfectly meeting in the middle.”

即使在声乐上——穆尼拥有高音区约翰逊唱低音,而当他们一起演唱时,“就像是完美地在中点交汇。”

It further accentuates the album's breadth.

进一步凸显了专辑的广度

"There's kind of a song for everybody, for whatever you're going through," says Mooney.

无论你正在经历什么总有一首歌适合每个人,”穆尼说

"Whatever people need to take away from this album, I hope they do."

无论人们需要从这张专辑中获得什么我希望他们都能得到。”
