片中出现的第一首歌是由Kara (Melissa Benoist)所演唱的“Moon River”, 她的歌音非
常的轻柔, 甜美, 听完后还会有种意犹未尽的感觉, 让人十分陶醉在其中。完整歌词如下
：
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
在曲子的结尾, My “huckleBARRY” friend有双关的意味在。Huckleberry friend在歌
词是知心朋友的意思 (典故来自汤姆历险记中, 汤姆最好的朋友Huckleberry Finn), 在
这边可以引申到Barry是Kara的好麻吉, 镜头也有刻意带到Barry的身上。另外Melissa在
舞台的造型是参考奥黛莉赫本在1961年的电影Breakfast At Tiffany's的服装, 这部电
影的主题曲正是Moonriver。

特殊得奖纪录: 1962 奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲奖, 葛莱美年度歌曲奖, 葛莱美最佳编曲
2.Put A Little Love in Your Heart

这首歌来自1969 Jackie DeShannon的热门歌曲, 由Darren Criss (Music Meister),
Jeremy Jordan (Winn), Carlos Valdes (Cisco), John Barrowman (Malcom) 等人所表
演的大合唱, 结合了目不暇给的舞蹈、歌唱、和舞台设计, 是这集演出难度最高的一首歌
, 也是剧中的一段高潮, 正式带出本集的主题"Love"的意义。不过美中不足的大概就是
大合唱的关系, 这些具有好演唱能力的演员们比较没有足够空间展现他们的歌喉, 完整歌
词如下:
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
You’d better take a little look around
Oh if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
All the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love. Put a little love
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love
Put a little love in your heart
Come on and put a little love in your heart

特殊获奖纪录:
1969 八月告示牌百强单曲排名第四,
成人当代音乐排名第二, 相当具有时代代表性的一首歌
3.More I Cannot Wish You
http://imgur.com/nIlDm1i
https://youtu.be/uDFuydOEMGM
这首歌来自1951经典音乐剧《红男绿女》Guys and dolls, 由三位唱过百老汇的实力派演
员Victor Garber (Prof. Stein, 唱过《失魂记》), Jesse L. Martin (Joe West, 唱过
《吉屋出租》), John Barrowman(Malcom Merlyn, 唱过《歌剧魅影》)所演唱, 希望他们
的儿子/女儿能找到真爱。一开始分别由Martin, Victor独唱, 最后加入John的三重唱,
三人各自展现自己的出色技巧, 这样完美和谐的声音为这首经典老歌带来不同的韵味。这
集有不少设定是参考自音乐剧《红男绿女》, 如剧情主要都是描写30 40年代的(纽约)黑
帮, 主角群的服装与酒吧装饰也可发现相近的元素。 片中这首"More I Cannot Wish
You"原先是由剧中女配角莎拉的祖父所演唱, 目的也是希望他的孙女能够找到好丈夫。
完整歌词如下:
Velvet I can wish you
For the collar of your coat
And fortune smiling all along your way
But more I cannot wish you
Than to wish you find your love
Your own true love this day
Mansions I can wish you
Seven footmen all in red
And calling cards upon a silver tray.
But more I cannot wish you
Than to wish you find your love
Your own true love this day
Standing there
Gazing at you
Full of the bloom of youth
Standing there
Gazing at you
With a sheep's eye
And a licorice tooth.
Music I can wish you
Merry music while you're young
And wisdom when your hair has turned to gray.
But more I cannot wish you
Than to wish you find your love
Your own true love this day
With a sheep's eye
And a licorice tooth
And the strong arms
To carry you away.

特殊得奖纪录:
1951 横扫东尼奖最佳音乐剧, 最佳制作人等8项大奖
1951 纽约剧评最价音乐剧
4.Super Friend
http://imgur.com/ixSNa4e
https://youtu.be/HUc8Nj91YJM
这集出现的两首原创曲之一, 由《疯狂前女友》Crazy Ex-Girlfriend的制作人兼演员
Rachel Bloom所量身为Flash和Supergirl打造的歌曲, 踢踏舞的部分则是由Zach
Woodley 所规划 (之前也曾帮Glee编过舞)。这首曲子许多片段不免让人会心一笑, 如
Kara提到＂if you're not there in time you can just go back in time and give it
another shot＂嘲讽Barry回到过去制造的闪点, Barry也回应”I'm actually not
supposed to do that anymore."希望他这次是真的说到做到XD; 在后头Barry也用超人来
揶揄Kara (不过理论上Barry应该没看过也不认识超人才对)。这两人的趣味关系在这首曲
子崭露无遗, 配上Winn的华丽的伴奏与精彩的踢踏合舞, 为了这集的主题Duet下了良好的
注解!完整歌词如下:
At times like these,
When life is getting me down,
And the world seems like it's going to end...ship?
There's at least one power that we both still have,
And thats the power of? (Friendship?)
I'm your super friend.
Your super friend.
I'll be there in the nick of time, if you're ever in a spot
And if you're not there in time you can just go back in time and give it
another shot
I'm your super friend. Super friend.
When ya need a compliment, I can rattle off a dozen.
For instance, I have to say I'm not impressed... by your more famous cousin.
I'm your super friend. Super friend.
When it comes to buddies, pal, you're the best.
I love you more than the lightning bolt I wear on my chest.
If you're ever sad I'll bring you flowers.
And you can list Soprano as one of your powers.
If you're ever broke. I've got the cash.
On my couch. You're welcome to crash
And if you ever need a hand, I'll be there in a Flash
I'm your super, that has a double meaning friend.
其他补充:
1.歌名可算是个小彩蛋, Super Friends是1973年的一个DC卡通名字

2.Melissa当年曾经在Glee扮演Woman Fierce
唱过"Holding Out For A Hero"(等待英雄)
现在总算是不用在等下去了!!

3.虽然是原创曲, 但其中有一部分可听出来和La La Land中的City of Stars旋律雷同
https://youtu.be/HUc8Nj91YJM?t=28s 钢琴弹奏的部分

5.Runnin’ Home to You
http://imgur.com/tf0Qgy3
https://youtu.be/h3m12mVXQe4
这是另外一首原创曲, 由甫获得奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲的La La Land作家 Benj Pasek和
Justin Paul所操刀, 用Grant Gustin美妙的男高音独唱为这精彩的Musical Crossover作
完美的结束。在浪漫的气氛下, Iris也终于答应了要和Grant Gustin结婚, 是为这集最美
的一个桥段。歌词中提到的Keep running home to you和you would be my light in
the dark呼应了Flash影集一直想要传达的爱情观, 无论Barry在世界的何处, 甚至身处神
速力之中, 他永远能够找到Iris。或许未来不是闪电侠能够改变的, 他只希望每分每秒能
够陪伴着终身伴侣Iris。

完整歌词如下:
Can't say how the days will unfold,
Can't change what the future may hold.
But, I want you in it,
Every hour, every minute.
This world can race by far too fast.
Hard to see while it's all flying past.
But, it's clear now,
When you're standing here now.
I am meant to be wherever you are next to me.
All I want to do,
Is come running home to you,
Come running home to you.
And all my life I promise to,
Keep running home to you,
Keep running home, To you.
And I could see it,
Right from the start,
Right from the start.
That you would be,
Be my light in the dark,
Light in the dark.
Oh, you gave me no other choice,
But to love you.
All I want to do,
Is come running home to you,
Come running home to you.
And all my life I promise to,
Keep running home to you,
Keep running home?
Home to you .
Can't say how the days will unfold,
Can't change what the future may hold,
But, I want you in it,
Every hour, every minute.
小结:
在几次与Savitar紧张的对决后, 剧组安排了这样欢乐的一集让闪电小队可以暂时休息一
下喘口气。我很喜欢Barry妈Nora在片头提到的"Musicals have the power to make
everything better", 音乐剧就是有这样的魔力, 能让遭遇的难题或是挫折出现转机,
这次Music Meister回来用了类似童话故事的方式帮助了这些情侣化开了心结。透过音乐
剧的方式剧组一方面提醒着我们他们拥有许多实力派歌手演员, 也给了观众最美丽的情书
。其实剧中还有不少遗珠有着歌唱底子如Wally, HR, Alex等人, 绿箭那边的演员也没什
么
参与到, 希望之后还有机会看到Music Meister回归让我们听到更多美妙的曲子!
