Sledgehammer

《Sledgehammer》是巴巴多斯女歌手蕾哈娜演唱的歌曲，由希雅（Sia）、蕾哈娜和杰西·沙特金填词谱曲，作为主题曲收录在电影《星际迷航3：超越星辰》的原声带中，于2016年6月26日通过Roc Nation唱片公司发布。

歌曲创作于两年前。为了庆祝《星际迷航》系列诞生五十周年，蕾哈娜特地将这首歌曲献给了《星际迷航》的第十三部电影《星际迷航3：超越星辰》。蕾哈娜从小就是《星际迷航》的粉丝，对于能为《星际迷航》的电影献唱主题曲，她感到万分荣幸。为配合主题，蕾哈娜甚至特意装扮出异域色彩浓重的外星人彩妆。

I hit a wall I never felt so low so low

Like a waterfall my tears dropped to the floor the floor

They left a swimming pool of salted crimes crimes

Oh what could I do to change your mind

Nothing

I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go

I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole

I hit a wall I thought that I would hurt myself

Oh I was sure your words would leave me unconscious

And on the floor I'd be lying cold lifeless

But I hit a wall I hit 'em all watch the fall

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

Yeah I hit a wall I prayed that I would make it through make it through

I can't survive a life that's without you that's without you yeah

And I will rise up from the ashes now the ashes now

Oh the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled yeah

I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go

I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole

I hit a wall I thought that I would hurt myself

Oh I was sure your words would leave me unconscious

And on the floor I'd be lying cold lifeless

But I hit a wall I hit 'em all watch the fall

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

这首歌气势磅礴，蕾哈娜也电影《星际迷航3：超越星辰》中跌宕起伏的剧情通过充满情感的演唱表现了出来。听觉方面，歌曲整体走向缓慢而神秘，营造出极致的空灵。宏大场面中蕴藏着几乎炸裂的能力。

《Sledgehammer》中有最细致化展示。从开场的静谧到随后的爆发，全程松弛但不失紧张。声音处理处于野蛮生长态势，这是有别于程式化的女声，跟学院派的精致相悖，这属于原始呐喊，所有发声都是本能迸发。也正是因为如此，这款嗓音跟《星际迷航》完美配搭，那种未知的感觉完全得到体现。这种异域色彩的“怪”充分满足猎奇欲望，对于普通听者而言，领率歌曲就足够完成奇妙探险旅行。来自上古的原生态声响出现在现代语境中，这含带着时光穿梭意味。

《Sledgehammer》的MV于2016年7月1日释出，由弗洛里亚·席基斯蒙狄执导，在加州特罗纳的尖峰石阵完成拍摄。

该部MV是全球首部全片采用IMAX摄影机拍摄完成的MV。弗洛里亚·席基斯蒙狄使用ALEXA IMAX摄影机，曾用于拍摄《美国队长3》中的巅峰对决场景。该摄影机结合IMAX具有专利性的数字原底翻版技术，将以大片质感的顶级视觉和最具IMAX特色的广阔视野呈现天后蕾哈娜与《星际迷航》的“宇宙级”合作。从MV中可以看出蕾哈娜此次的装扮与以往有很大的不同，一身红衣性感又神秘，颇有异域风情。
