One Of Us - Joan Osborne

Joan Osborne在95年推出了一张结合蓝调、
灵魂及福音歌曲的经典专辑Relish(喜悦),
96年让她得到了7项葛莱美提名。
97年时再度获得葛莱美最佳摇滚女歌手的提名。
当时在美国地区的销量就超过了3百万张。
专辑中的这首One of Us一举获得美国单曲榜冠军,
这首歌可以说是所有乐迷对于Joan Osborne最熟悉的一首歌。
此后的2年中,为推广这张专辑,Joan Osborne走遍了全球,
同时也饱尝了这首涉及宗教信仰的歌曲所引起的宗教纠纷。
她拿西方人心中无比神圣的上帝开玩笑,
用辛辣讽刺的口吻把上帝从神台上拉了下来,
用凡人才有的词汇调侃了一番。
尽管这首歌在排行榜上风光无限,
但她最后还是被唱片公司解雇。
每次听这首歌,心中都会泛起淡淡的伤感,
但又不可抗拒的喜欢上她声音里的那一丝丝绝望的挣扎。
越听越有味道的一首歌。
