这首经典之作“whiskey lullaby”出自于 Brad Paisley2003年的专辑《Mud On The Tires》，这张专辑在发行首周就登上了Billboard 200排行榜第八名，并且在前100名内坚持了近百周的时间，记得在当时这张专辑连自己都数不清播放了多少遍。与Brad Paisley合作这首歌曲的乡村女歌手很多人都比较熟悉，她就是Alison Krauss ，相信很多人还记得她的那首经典之作“When you say nothing at all”，她甜美清澈的声音给此曲作了很好的点缀，与Brad Paisley完美男女声线的组合，淡淡的、忧郁的，娓娓道出了一段刻骨铭心的悲剧，将将听者带进悲伤的氛围中......
这首歌曲所讲述的背景故事是一个美丽的悲剧，在MTV里，这对爱人深深地坠入了爱河。但是，这个年轻的男子很快就被召入伍，离开了女孩所在的村庄。女孩一直再等她的爱人回来，直到有个流言传入她的耳里，传说这个男子已经在一场战斗中牺牲，女孩痛不欲生，她扣响了结束她年轻的生命的扳机。当这个年轻的男子在数年后回来，他再也找不到他的女朋友。一次偶然的机会，他听闻这个女孩几年前已经嫁为人妇…他不停地喝着WHISKY酒，不停地回想所有关于她和他们的所有的记忆……他失控般地哭泣，酗酒……直到最后他扣响了结束生命的扳机。之后，人们把他们埋葬在同一个墓穴里，来赞颂这至死不渝的爱情！
Whiskey Lullaby(威士忌安魂曲)
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
她扑灭他的爱 像熄灭午夜尽头燃烧的烟蒂
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
她伤了他的心 成就他毕生难以释怀的伤痛
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
我们望着他 饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
但他无法让自己 足够沉醉 以至将她遗忘
Until the night
直到 那个夜晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
他端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away her memory
终于将属于她的记忆全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暂 这一次却如此强大
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我们终于找到他 他却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
临别遗言 一纸短笺：我爱她直至生命结束
And when we buried him beneath the willow
当我们将他下葬 合上了柳木棺盖
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使们唱起 威士忌安魂曲
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
流言飞传 但没有人知道 她心里无限的自责
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
年复一年 她试图隐藏 那已融入呼吸的威士忌味道
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
她终于饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
但她无法让自己 足够沉醉 以至将他遗忘
Until the night
直到 那个夜晚
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
她端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away his memory
终于将属于他的记忆全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暂 这一次却如此强大
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
超越了她仰赖着立足于世的力量
We found her with her face down in the pillow
我们终于找到了她 她却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
Clinging to his picture for dear life
临别陪伴 一张他的照片 纪念这珍贵一生
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
当我们将她下葬 紧挨着他 合上了柳木棺盖
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
那刻天使们 又唱起 威士忌安魂曲
