囧言囧语:本歌是美剧《老爸老妈浪漫史》How I Met Your Mother第四季第五集中的片尾曲。本集的主题是:“Never invite an ex to your wedding”。Ted和Stella的婚礼在即,Ted邀请了自己的一帮好朋友,当然少不了Robbin,Stella得知Ted邀请了他的前任女友,到后面更是连Stella的前任Tony也叫到一起,十分的愤怒!Ted有个坚定的信念——自己和Robbin已经结束,完全没有瓜葛,他不知道女人是更为敏感的,心里始终有个结。Robbin对Ted说:“That kind of stuff doesn't just disappear without a trace.”同理,Tony和Stella也是。《Waiting for an Invitation》响起的时候,Robbin独自一人坐在游轮上享受夕阳,看见Stella和Tony的复合,她很清楚现在最受伤的就是自己最在乎的——Ted。(由此看来,Mother不是Stella了!)

最后说说演唱者Benji Hughes,他是来自美国北卡罗莱纳州夏洛特市的一个独立创作人,有着金色的长发和茂密的大胡子,08年发行了他的第一张专辑,名字叫做《A Love Extreme》。Benji Hughes的声音初听有些像Beck,中低音缓缓的流露出细腻与敏感。

Artist:Benji Hughes
Song:Waiting for an Invitation

Lady so black
Like a million cemetery lawns
I don't even try anymore
Keeping up with the headstones
Maybe I've been waiting too long, too long
For somebody to throw my kinda party
And I know, I'm too old

Stadiums cry
Go on wait until your band gets back together
Don't you think it's probably time you sit and write your fans an apology letter
Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long
For somebody to throw your kinda party
And you're old, you're too old

If you're waiting for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time

◆作为职场新人,如何赢在职场?◆

If you're looking for an invitation
It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come
You're never gonna get one

Lovers they try, they try to whip the stars into compliance
Careful, don't you pull too hard
Don't want to knock the planets out of alignment
Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long
For somebody to show to the party
And you're old, you're too old

If you're waiting for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time

If you're looking for an invitation
It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come
You're never gonna get one

If you're waiting for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time, wait a long time,
you're gonna wait a long time, wait a long time ……
