Nathan Evans - Wellerman 2021

《Wellerman》是一首承载着海洋精神与坚韧信念的歌曲，它唱出了水手们在暴风与困境中依旧坚持希望、等待救赎的故事。歌曲以一艘追逐鲸鱼、与命运抗衡的船为主线，通过不断重复的副歌，展现了在漫长而残酷的航程中，那份对补给船 Wellerman 的执着期盼——就像在绝望黑夜里等待光亮。

那句反复回荡的：

“Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum.”
“愿威勒曼号快些来，带来糖、茶和朗姆酒。”

不仅是补给的祈愿，更是精神上的支撑与信念的象征。即使与鲸鱼的战斗持续数十日毫无停息，船员们仍旧唱着这首歌，用希望抵御疲惫与恐惧。

这首歌描绘的是一种永不屈服的力量： 无论命运多么狂暴，无论旅途多么漫长，只要心里仍有期待，就能继续向前。等待，不是软弱，而是一种勇气；是在风暴中紧握信仰、在黑暗中守住光芒的执着。

《Wellerman》提醒我们，生活中每个人都可能是一名在大海中漂泊的水手，而那些值得等待的事物——梦想、自由、温暖与希望——就是支撑我们继续航行的力量。
