此次为《变形金刚3》重新编曲《彩虹光芒》,已是林肯公园与《变形金刚》系列电影的第三度合作。此前,《变形金刚》和《变形金刚2》的主题曲《What I' ve done》与《New Divide》也都出自林肯公园之手。随着电影的热映,这两首主题曲都成为了流行乐坛的畅销单曲。《彩虹光芒》是收录在林肯公园2010年专辑《烈日千阳》(A thousand Suns)中的一首歌曲,旋律舒缓,歌词简练,悲伤之中透露着希望,整体给人一种比较忧伤的文艺范的感觉,在林肯公园的歌曲中,算是非常抒情的一首。在为《变3》重新编曲的混音版本中,虽然着重加强了节奏,但与此前气势磅礴、金属感极强的《What I' ve done》与《New Divide》相比,《彩虹光芒:混音版》还是显得比较抒情,给人一种完全不一样的感觉,不知道这是不是意味着《变3》会在整体风格与情绪基调上,相较前两部有不小的变化。

附:《彩虹光芒》中英文对照歌词(MV拍摄花絮见歌词下方)
When you were standing in the wake of devastation
当你站在灾难后的遗迹前
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
当你等待着不可预测的变化
With the cataclysm raining down
此时灾难即将瓢泼而至
Insides crying "save me now"
你的内心哭喊着“拯救我”
You were there impossibly alone
却无法忽视万分孤单的处境
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
是否你感到冰冷无助?
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
你满怀希望但最终充满绝望
Remember all the sadness and frustration
记住这所有的悲哀和沮丧
And let it go let it go
然后让时光冲刷掉这些不快
And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
在足以使天使失明的爆裂的强光下
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
天空支离,天堂破碎
You felt the gravity of tempered grace falling into empty space
你发现神的恩赐坠入虚无
No one there to catch you in their arms
没有人能做你的保护人
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
是否你感到冰冷无助?
You build up hope but failure's all you've known
你满怀希望但最终充满绝望
Remember all the sadness and frustration
记住这所有的悲哀和沮丧
And let it go let it go
然后让时光冲刷掉这些不快
Let it go
让这些不快逝去
