Текст и слова песни Baz Luhrmann – Everybody s free (to wear sunscreen)
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 97, Wear sunscreenIf I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh never mind, you will never understand the power and the beauty of your youth until they ve faded.But trust me, in twenty years, you will look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can t grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don t worry about the future or worry that know that worrying is as affective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blindsides you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday.Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don t be reckless with other peoples hearts; don t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss.Don t waste your time on jealously, sometimes you re ahead, sometimes you re behind.The race is long and in the end, it s only with yourself.Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults.If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don t feel guilty if you don t know what to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don t.Get plenty of calcium.Be kind to knees, you ll miss them when they re gone.Maybe you ll marry, maybe you won t.Maybe you ll have children, maybe you won t.Maybe you ll divorce at 40, maybe you ll dance the "Funky Chicken" on your 75th wedding anniversary.Whatever you do, don t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else s.Enjoy your body.Use it every way you can, don t be afraid of it or what other people think of it. It s the greatest instrument you ll ever own.
Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room.Read the directions even if you don t follow them.Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Chorus
Brother and sister together will make it through,Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there,I know you ve been hurting, but I ve been waiting to be there for youAnd I ll be there just helping you out, whenever I ca-a-an
Get to know your parents.You never know when they ll be gone for good.Be nice to your siblings.They are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.Understand that friends come and go.But a precious few, who should hold on.Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, for as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain alible truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old and when you do, you ll fanaticise that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.Respect your elders.Don t expect anyone else to support you.Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you ll have a wealthy spouse but you ll never know when either one will run out.Don t mess too much with your hair or by the time you re forty, it will look eighty-five.Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.Advice is a form of nostalgia.Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it s worth.But trust me on the sunscreen.
Chorus
Everybody s Free, oh yeah, to feel good, ohhhhh, to feel good.
