Joan Osborne 琼·奥斯本

1963年7月8日出生于阿拉斯加南部的安克雷奇。90年代早期来到纽约，就读于纽约大学

电影学院。一个偶然的机会琼在当地一家小酒吧中演唱了爵士歌后比莉-郝乐迪的名曲“上帝

保佑孩子”，自此人生的轨迹完全被改变。她开始从事音乐事业，模仿自己所喜欢的埃特-詹

姆斯以及蕾-查尔斯等人进行表演。最初奥斯本不愿受大唱片公司的摆布，自己成立了厂牌“

女性欢呼”(Womanly Hips)，并推出《灵魂展示》(Soul Show)这样一张唱片，还与其他艺人

一起举办音乐会。1995年，她终于认识到商业合作的重要性，就与Mercury公司签约，第二张

《意味》(Relish)由此发行。经过将近一年时间的等待，公众发觉了这张专辑的价值，单曲

《我们中的一个》(One Of Us)成为排行榜首，并使她在1996和1997年获得诸多格莱美奖提

名。琼-奥斯本是一名非常具有社会责任感的女艺人，音乐创作之余，经常参与到一些认为要

的公众事业当中去。选举、投票、节育、妇女权益都是她感兴趣的主题。

这首96年格莱美提名金曲，演唱的诙谐而随意。当他用那种特别的放松式的喉咙哼

唱着：Yeah, yeah, God is great. Yeah, yeah, God is good，What if God was one of

us, just a slob like one of us，Just a stranger on the bus, rying to make his way

home...Like a holy rolling stone... nobody calls him on the phone。那感觉就放佛在

教授人们生命就是福，一切如过眼云烟，不必在意。




歌词:

If god had a name, what would it be
and would you call it to his face
if you were faced with him in all his glory
what would you ask if you had just one question
and yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
what if god was one of us
just a slob like one of us
just a stranger on the bus
trying to make his way home
if god had a face what would it look like
and would you want to see
if seeing meant that you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets
he's trying to make his way home
back up to heaven all alone
nobody calling on the phone
except for the pope maybe in rome
like a holy rolling stone
back up to heaven all alone
just trying to make his way home
nobody calling on the phone
except for the pope maybe in rome
