加拿大歌手布莱恩·亚当斯发新歌《安大略湖》回应更名令：称在美演唱《第51州》每晚获全场起立鼓掌
加拿大摇滚歌手布莱恩·亚当斯（Bryan Adams）10月28日发布新单曲《Lake Ontario》（安大略湖），回应特朗普总统把安大略湖更名为「美国湖」（Lake America）的行政令。歌曲收录于他定于11月6日经 BAD Records 发行的新专辑《How's It Goin'》，在数字版中列为加值曲目，官方音乐视频已同步发布。
歌中唱道：「『闪光之水的湖』是易洛魁人对她的称呼」「这是原住民的名字，不是一纸行政令」。亚当斯在歌词中指更名之举「打破了和平」，并把伊朗局势与爱泼斯坦文件写进歌里，称更名像是转移注意力的一招。以上均为歌曲本身的表达，是亚当斯对更名令的批评立场。
特朗普今年8月签署行政令，指示联邦机构把安大略湖改称「美国湖」，此前他已下令把墨西哥湾改称「美国湾」。安大略湖横跨美加边境，加拿大安大略省即以该湖得名，本站8月曾报道这项更名行政令。
专辑还收录了今年7月1日加拿大国庆日发布的《51st State》（第51州），回应特朗普关于加拿大成为美国第51个州的说法。亚当斯在接受《好莱坞报道》专访时说，这首歌第一次在美国公开演唱时，他原本不确定观众会如何反应，结果「每晚都得到全场起立鼓掌」，并说这让他觉得「或许，潮流终于在转向」。
亚当斯把这张专辑称为写给加拿大的一封「情书」：项目起初是受一家电影公司之邀、为加拿大大西洋省份写歌，其后扩展成整张专辑，其中也包括向加拿大人物致敬的作品。他在官网为《Lake Ontario》写道：「帝国与政权、独裁者与国王，都会来来去去。安大略湖是永恒的。」他说，这首歌是唱给湖两岸所有理智的人的。布莱恩·亚当斯官方频道发布的《Lake Ontario》官方视频已随本稿一并呈现。

Bryan Adams Releases 'Lake Ontario' Protesting the Lake's Renaming, Says '51st State' Drew Standing Ovations Nightly in the U.S.
Canadian rock singer Bryan Adams released a new single, 'Lake Ontario,' on October 28, responding to President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario 'Lake America.' The song appears as a bonus track on the digital edition of his new album How's It Goin', due November 6 via BAD Records, and its official music video was released the same day.
'The lake of shining waters is what the Iroquois called her,' Adams sings. 'It's a First Nations name, not an executive order.' In the lyrics, Adams accuses the renaming of 'breaking the peace' between the people who live on the lake's shores, and weaves in references to Iran and the Epstein files, presenting the renaming as a distraction. These are the views expressed in the song itself, Adams's own criticism of the order.
Trump signed an executive order in August directing U.S. federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario 'Lake America,' echoing his earlier decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America.' The lake straddles the U.S.-Canada border, and the Canadian province of Ontario is named after the lake. GSM reported on the renaming order in August.
The album also includes '51st State,' released on July 1, Canada Day, as a repudiation of Trump's talk of annexing Canada. Adams told The Hollywood Reporter in an exclusive interview that the first time he played the song in public in the United States, he was unsure how audiences would respond. 'We got a standing ovation every night for it,' he said. 'It made me think: perhaps, finally, the tide's turning.'
Adams has described the album as a 'love letter' to Canada: the project began with an invitation from a film company to write about Canada's Maritime provinces and grew into a full album, including homages to Canadian heroes. Writing about 'Lake Ontario' on his official website, Adams said: 'Empires and regimes, dictators and kings, they all come and go. Lake Ontario is forever.' He called it a song for all the sane people on both shores. The official 'Lake Ontario' video, released on Bryan Adams's official channel, is presented with this story.
