Toadies是一支来自美国德克萨斯州Fort Worth的摇滚乐队，成立于1989年。他们的作品通常被归类为“潜入式摇滚”或“晦涩难懂的摇滚”，这使得他们的音乐处理复杂而深刻。 他们的一首著名歌曲叫做《Possum Kingdom》，这首歌曲是1994年推出的同名专辑的主打曲。在这首歌曲中，吉他的声音激情洋溢，充满力量。 Toadies的创作背景是来自于当时主唱Vaden Todd Lewis和他的前乐队Burden Brothers，他们在1991年解散后，Lewis开始写有关“小偷”和“恶作剧”的歌曲。曲子在写作过程中，实际上都是从头到尾一口气写下来的，它们的音乐和歌词都反映了当时的个人经历和心情。而《Possum Kingdom》这首歌曲的创作则是来自Vaden Todd Lewis的“浪漫想象”。 《Possum Kingdom》起初是专辑中不受关注的曲目，但它在电台播放后迅速受到了听众们的欢迎。歌曲的灵感来自Toadies在Possum Kingdom湖度过的夏季，歌词灵活运用了湖泊、钟塔和月光等元素，表达了一名爱上女孩的男孩，想把她带到这个宁静美丽的地方，享受一夜的浪漫。很多人认为歌词中暗示的是一种黑暗而令人不安的情感，但Vaden Todd Lewis则表示，“这是一首浪漫的歌曲，而不是一首可怕的歌曲。” 以下是《Possum Kingdom》的歌词： Make up your mind Decide to walk with me Around the lake tonight By my side By my side I'm not gonna lie I'll not be a gentleman Behind the boat house I'll show you my dark secret I'm not gonna lie I want you for mine My blushing bride My lover, be my lover, yeah... Don't be afraid I didn't mean to scare you So help me, Jesus I can promise you You'll stay as beautiful With dark hair And soft skin, forever Forever Make up your mind Make up your mind And I'll promise you I will treat you well My sweet angel So help me, Jesus (hey hey hey) Give it up to me Give it up to me Do you wanna be My angel? So help me! Be my lover, be my lover Yeah... Don't be afraid I didn't mean to scare you So help me, Jesus I can promise you You'll stay as beautiful With dark hair And soft skin, forever Forever (hey hey hey) Make up your mind And I'll promise you I will treat you well My sweet angel So help me, Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus
