The Best Day出自Taylor Swift 的专辑Fearless。Taylor Swift于1989年出生于美国,受曾为歌剧演员的外婆影响,自小便和音乐结下不解之缘。她所创作的绝大多数歌曲都是自己所熟悉的题材。专辑Fearless就像是从一个高中女生的日记中摘录的片段。

她用她的歌声讲述着学校里种种情景,球场、啦啦队、角落里的座位、舞会上的美丽邂逅……这些熟悉的场景和平常的故事被她用声音演绎得无比真切。出自其中的The Best Day是一首写给母亲的温馨赞歌[1],与专辑中其它抒发小女生感情的歌曲相比,The Best Day显得尤为独特和感人。
这首歌是献Taylor母亲Andrea的,是Taylor在录制第二张专辑Fearless的时候想对母亲表达自己的爱和感恩。这首歌是以讲故事的方式叙述的。刚开始的时候她说到她当时才13岁,那个时候的她什么都不懂,只觉得母亲是世界上最勇敢的人。她以树木的季节变更来表示她的成长,而到歌曲最后表示她现在长大了,也懂得了很多道理,但是有一点没有变化,就是她永远爱她的母亲,永远感激她。
在Taylor十二三岁的时候,因为对乡村音乐的执着,又成为当地的小明星,受到学校同学的排挤,她感觉很委屈很孤单,她的妈妈带着她远离他们住的小镇去散散心。
当然在歌中Taylor也表达了对爸爸和弟弟的热爱,说我有个很棒的爸爸,他的力量让我变得更加强壮。上帝亲吻我的小弟弟,他哪方面都比我强。
这首歌是Taylor瞒着妈妈录的,MV也是Taylor翻遍小时候的家庭录像自己剪辑的,为了给妈妈一个惊喜。当Taylor妈妈第一次听到这首歌,看到家庭录像的时候都没有反应过来那是Taylor在为她唱歌。歌词
i' m five years old, it's getting cold, i' ve got my big coat on
今天我五岁了,天开始变凉,我穿上件宽大的外套
i hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, i run and run

歌词详情:
We loaded up my old station wagon
With a tent' a Coleman' and sleeping bags
Some fishing poles' a cooler of cokes
Three days before we had to be back
When you're seven you're in seventh heaven
When you're going camping in the wild outdoors
As we pulled up on that old dirt road
He looked at me and swore
Daddy' this could be the best day of my life
I've been dreaming day and night about the fun we've had
Just me and you doing what I've always wanted to
I'm the luckiest boy alive
This is the best day of my life
His sixteenth birthday rolled around
Classic cars were his thing
When I pulled in the drive with that old 'vette
I thought that boy would go in sane
When you're in your teens
Your dreams revolve around four spinning wheels
You worked nights on end
'Till it was new again
And as he sat behind the wheel
He said Dad
This could be the best day of my life
I've been dreaming day and night
About the fun we've had
Just me and you
Doing what I've always wanted to
I'm the luckiest boy alive
This is the best day of my life
Standing in a little room
Back of the church with our tuxes on
Looking at him I say I can't believe son that you're grown
He said Dad
This could be the best day of my life
I've been dreaming day and night
Of being like you
Now its me and her
Watching you and mom I've learned
I'm the luckiest man alive
This is the best day of my life
I'm the luckiest man alive
This is the best day of my life
