Heartland，这是一个很少人提及的BAND，美国民谣风。
他们质朴的乡村气息通透着整个乐队，从每一个成员的外表直达歌声。
他们很不走红。

推他们的歌是因为偶然听到这首“I loved her first”，据说是他们06年在一家独立唱片公司发的单曲，却一下子飚红，令很多人人不解。

I loved her first，
但这无关爱情，亦不是泛泛的关于三人纠结的烂俗情歌。
它关于一个父亲对女儿的爱。
对女儿怀有的骄傲，对女儿的男朋友充满的深深的醋意，对女儿将有另一人陪伴而产生的不舍与伤感。

这有一个父亲对女儿的爱人唱出的歌。

“Time changes everything 
    Life must go on 
    And I'm not gonna stand in your way

    So be careful when you hold my girl”

歌词营造的那种意境，可以听出很多不一样的气息，父爱的晕染更让人抓心的共鸣。
这也许就是歌曲赢得人心的关键吧！




 i loved her first          heartland

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
