25 years of my life and still
Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of
Hope, for a destination.
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made
up of this brotherhood of
Man, for whatever that means.
And so I cry sometimes, when
I'm lying in bed just
to get it all out,
what's in my head, then
I, I am feeling, a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning,
and I step outside
And I take a deep breath,
and I get real high, and
I, scream from the top of my lungs,
"What's going on?"
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey,
hey yeah yeah."
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey,
hey yeah yeah."
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I try, oh my god, do I try
I try all the time, in this institution.
And I pray, oh my god, do I pray
I pray every single day, for a revolution.

心未死，纵情唱 作者：令狐松
4 Non Blondes的“What's Up?”，总是给我带来甜蜜与苦涩交织的回忆。这首歌刚出来的时候，也正是那段无悔的岁月，那时大三，那时我疯狂地爱着摇滚乐。偶然的机会，在MTV台看到了这首歌的Video，立刻就被深深地吸引住了。因为当时是在打歌的阶段，所以几乎每天都滚动播出几次。于是，每当电视里传出这歌声的时候，不管当时正在做着什么，我都会毫不犹豫地放下手中的活计，跑到电视机前凝神倾听。女主唱Linda Perry深情而又充满狂野激情的演唱在我的心中产生了强烈的共鸣，吉他手Roger Rocha那段看似简单实则韵味无穷的Solo更是令我神魂颠倒。
还记得当年的格莱美颁奖礼上，4 Non Blondes这四个赖兮兮的嬉皮士就象四个衣着破烂的天使在人丛中闲逛，他们被提名为最佳新人了。没有过度的喜悦却是一派悠然，这也给我留下了深刻的印象。然而，就在我满怀期待他们下一张专辑的时候，消息传来，4 Non Blondes解散了。在一片错愕遗憾的心情中，我又一次体味到了美好的并不久长。
