“A 1000 Time”是Hanmilton Leithauser與Rostam Batmanglij合作的單曲，同Hamilton的其他幾首偉大的歌曲一樣，它講述的故事發(fā)生在一切即將結(jié)束的時候。但是，當(dāng)Leithauser在“In the New Year”中勝利地凝視著未來，在“The Rat”記錄下一段關(guān)系著痛苦、絕望的結(jié)束時，“A 1000 Times”中的情感太過癡迷，以至于近乎無視它周遭所發(fā)生的一切?！癟he 10th of November, the year’s almost over, ”Leithauser夢幻般地唱道，盡管這也可能是一年中的任何其他一天?！癐f I had your number, I’d call you tomorrow.”

As “A 1000 Times” evolves from a baroque,unmistakably Rostam lullaby into a blustery, *Basement Tapes *stomp, itsinstantly catchy chorus (“I had a dream that you were mine/I’ve had that dreama thousand times”) seems to have come and gone 1,000 times itself. It’s anaffecting, infectious technique; the song’s shapeshifting structure elevatesLeithauser’s simplistic, repetitive melody into something approaching a popstandard. As illustrated by the stars of the video, portraying Hamilton andRostam at various ages, “A 1000 Times” is a song you can imagine growing oldwith.

當(dāng)“A 1000 Times”從一首巴洛克式的Rostam搖籃曲演變?yōu)槁晞莺拼蟮?、《Basement Tapes》是頓足爵士樂時，其朗朗上口的副歌（“I had a dream that you were mine/I’ve had that dream a thousand times”）似乎真的告訴我們他自己已歷經(jīng)一千次的旅程。這是一種感人至深、感染力爆表的表達(dá)技巧；這首歌多變的結(jié)構(gòu)將Leithauser簡單、重復(fù)的旋律提升到接近流行標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的程度。正如MV中的明星所演繹的那樣，Hamilton和Rostam雖有著不同年齡段的形象，但“A 1000 Times”是一首會令你想象著你的一生慢慢迎來終結(jié)的歌曲。
