不知道你们是怎么喜欢上一首歌的。我喜欢上一首歌通常是几秒钟的事情——当它前奏一响起,触到我的心,那我就会钟情,我不管那个歌手我到底喜不喜欢,ta人格如何,我只钟情我喜欢的旋律和歌词;如果一时不能爱上,那可能是不知道它创作背后的故事,如果故事能打动我,它也会列入我单曲循环的曲目。
英国民谣创作歌手Passenger的《Let her go》就是用它轻快的旋律,让我的耳朵清醒。这首歌用一种近乎愉悦的音调,叙说一个惆怅的故事,一个关于得到与失去的故事,有点像哥哥的《Monica》。我很喜欢里面的兼具排比和起兴的句子,only,only,only…说尽人生的变故和阵痛,这个“her”说的不仅仅是一个姑娘或爱情,我觉得它还代表的很多很多……
奥斯卡·王尔德有一句话可以概括这首歌:人生有两个悲剧,第一是想得到的得不到,第二是想得到的得到了。
相信走过千山万水后的你也会懂得,也会幡然醒悟:上天赐予你一场美梦,是为了支撑你坚定地、骄傲地走完这冗长的一生。
Let Her Go
---by Passenger
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘
Only hate the road when you're missing home
只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
And you let her go
但真爱已逝
Staring at the bottom of your glass
酒杯已空 醉然凝视
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
痴妄有一天可以永远沉醉于美梦
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
但你知道 梦来的温柔 而醒的残酷
You see her when you close your eyes
当你闭上双眼 你仿佛看到了她
Maybe one day you'll understand why
也许终有一天你会领悟
Everything you touch surely dies
你是如何亲手毁掉了一段挚爱
But you only need the light when it's burning low
但你只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘
Only hate the road when you're missing home
只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
繁星满天 你痴痴的望着天花板
Same old empty feeling in your heart
又是一个无比寂寞空虚的无眠夜
Cos love comes slow and it goes so fast
爱情来的温柔 去的残酷
Well you see her when you fall asleep
如今你只得在梦里与她相见
But never to touch and never to keep
可这梦脆弱的经不起触碰 经不起长久
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep
你爱她越深 你亦而陷的越深
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘
Only hate the road when you're missing home
只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
And you let her go
但真爱已逝
And you let her go
但真爱已逝
Well you let her go
但真爱已逝
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘
Only hate the road when you're missing home
只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘
Only hate the road when you're missing home
只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远
Only know you love her when you let her go
只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱
And you let her go
但真爱已逝
