    starry starry night

    一个素未谋面的朋友推荐了Don Mclean的Vincent——纪念梵高的一首老歌
    上网搜了一下,原来就是starry starry night
    ok,原来早是旧相识了
     
    和这首歌的缘分要追溯到刚开博的那一阵
    我把自己在sapce上的图片换成了梵高的the starry night
    尔后曾一起在晨报实习的小豆子同学告诉我有这么一首歌
    starry starry night
    ——简单而质朴的旋律,伴着木吉他的那种淡然与超脱
    宛若从梵高画笔下流淌出来的一抹孤独
     
    说不清楚是从什么时候开始热爱这个行为怪异的天才的
    或许就是从the starry night开始
    美术课本里讲解梵高的那段,配的几张小图
    让人看到入迷
     
    在伦敦National Gallery那不甚宽敞的展厅里
    曾有幸见到过梵高的作品
    若干不太知名的画作如绿叶般衬出那朵为世人熟知的向日葵
    隔着攒动的人头
    远远的看着
    幻想着能一个人和梵高那些绚烂的色彩安静的待在一起
    可终究只是幻想而已
     
    梵高在给弟弟特奥的信里曾经写道:
    既然邦葛罗斯老先生信誓旦旦地对我们说世上的一切都将臻于至善至美,难道对此我们还要怀疑吗?
    至善至美
    也许是造物主特意留给天才们的最绚丽的诱惑吧?
     
    Starry starry night
    Paint your palette blue and grey
    Look out on a summer's day
    With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
    Shadows on the hills
    Sketch the trees and the daffodils
    Catch the breeze and the winter chills
    In colors on the snowy linen land.
    Now I understand
    What you tried to say to me
    How you suffered for your sanity
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen they did not know how
    Perhaps they'll listen now.
    Starry starry night
    Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
    Swirling clouds in violet haze
    Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
    Colors changing hue
    Morning fields of amber grain
    Weathered faces lined in pain
    Are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
    Now I understand
    What you tried to say to me
    How you suffered for your sanity
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen they did not know how
    Perhaps they'll listen now.
    For they could not love you
    But still your love was true
    And when no hope was left in sight on that
    Starry starry night.
    You took your life as lovers often do,
    But I could have told you Vincent
    This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
    Starry starry night
    Portraits hung in empty halls
    Frameless heads on nameless walls
    With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
    Like the stranger that you've met
    The ragged men in ragged clothes
    The silver thorn of bloddy rose
    Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
    Now I think I know
    What you tried to say to me
    How you suffered for your sanity
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen they're not listening still
    Perhaps they never will.

    Forever Friends

    依旧暖黄的灯光,稀疏的人群
    蹬着车从23:30的街头轻轻掠过
    唤醒的记忆开始反噬
    一直都是
    很多想见到的,更多无法见到的
     

    Forever Friends

     

    Hold me like a friend

    kiss me like a friend

    say we'll never end searching for the colors of the rainbow

    melody never say good-bye

    I'll be near you

     

    Hold me like a friend

    kiss me like a friend

    say we'll never end searching for the colors of the rainbow

    melody never say good-bye

    I'll be near you

     

    some people handle love and never try

    I can almost fly with your wings to set me higher

    Someday we'll see the world and through the grey have faith in our hands

     

    hold me like a friend

    kiss me like a friend

    say we'll never end searching for the colors of the rainbow

    melody never say good-bye

    we'll always be forever friends

     

    hold me like a friend

    kiss me like a friend

    say we'll never end searching for the colors of the rainbow

    melody never say good-bye

    I'll believe you

      

    when the river flows off to part us both

    Only heaven knows I'll be a boat to sail around you

    melody never say good-bye

    I'll be near you

     

    some people handle love and never try

    I can almost fly with your wings to set me higher

    one day we'll see the world and through the grey have faith in our hands

    till the river ends

    Down by the sally gardens

    更换了背景音乐,一首老歌,Down by the sally gardens,某年在新街口的地下广场邂逅

    舒缓而哀伤的Celtic风格

    歌词选自叶芝(Yeats)的诗——

     

    Down by the sally gardens

    lyrics W.B. Yeats/traditional air "Maids of Mourne Shore"

    Down by the Sally Gardens

    My love and I did meet.

    She passed the Sally Gardens

    With little snow-white feet.

    She bid me to take love easy

    As the leaves grow on the trees,

    But I, being young and foolish,

    With her would not agree.

    In the fields by the river

    My love and I did stand,

    And on my leaning shoulder

    She laid her snow-white hands.

    She bid me to take life easy,

    As the grass grows on the weirs,

    But I was young and foolish

    And now I am full of tears.

    Enya—Amarantine

    用慢吞吞的骡子从网上拖下了enya的新专辑——Amarantine
    ——字面意思据说是一种永不凋谢的花
    ——就像enya延续至今的轻灵缥缈的声线
     
    伴着噼噼啪啪的打字声听完了整张专辑
    ——永远是那个仅仅属于enya的风格,一成不变
    ——嗓音依旧是漂浮于云端的若隐若现,和声依旧是如此的绵延细致,柔美而清冷,一如爱尔兰湿寒的海风
     
    不过
    时间打上的烙印无法磨灭
    还是感觉到
    再也找不回当年听watermark时那个让我顿感清澈澄明的凯尔特精灵了
    又或者,换个也许更确切的说法
    ——是我再也找不回当年的自己了
     
     

    Amarantine

    You know when you give your love away
    It opens your heart 
    Everything is new 
    And you know time will always find a way 
    To let your heart believe 
    it's true 
    You know love is everything you say
    A whisper, a word
    promises you give 
    You feel it in the heartbeat of the day 
    You know this is the way
    love is

    Amarantine
    Love is always love 

    You know love may/will sometimes make you cry
    So let the tears go 
    They will flow away
    For you know love will always let you fly 
    How far a heart can fly away 

    Amarantine 
    Love is always love
    Amarantine

    Love is always love 
    Amarantine
    Love is always love 

    You know when love's shinning in your eyes 
    It may be the storms fallen from above 
    And you know love is with you when you rise 
    For night and day belong to love
