I don't feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make. I don't feel alright because you make promises that you break. 我的心情不好 儘管聽到了你安慰的話語 我的心情不好 因為你立下了你打破的誓言 Into your house, why don't we share our solitude? Nothing is pure anymore but solitude. It's hard to make sense, feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens. If someone else comes, I'd just sit here listening to the drums. 當我進入你的心 為何不能分享我們的孤獨 沒有任何事物比孤獨更純粹 這很難讓人理解 彷彿是我透過透鏡看著你一樣 如果有人已住在你心裡 那我就坐在這兒靜靜地聆聽鼓聲
(以下為完整版歌詞)
Previously I never called it solitude. And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on. Blunted and exhausted like anyone. Honestly I tried to avoid it. Honestly.
我從不知道這就是孤獨.... 你或許看到了 那些因為我的遲鈍而做出來的蠢事 但是我真的試著去避免犯錯了,真的.... Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stop. And now all the good kids are messing up. Nobody has gained or accomplished anything.
第一首是Joy Division的經典曲目 Love will tear us apart。Ian Curtis滄桑的嗓音完全無法讓人聯想到當時的他不過二十出頭。然而上吊自殺時的他也才不過24歲。
第二首是U2的 I will follow,這是Bono寫給在父親葬禮上腦溢血過世的母親的歌,也是U2在往後每次演唱會上的必唱曲目之一(就我所知另一首是Sunday Bloody Sunday)。1980年的歌,跟我一樣老,算是U2非常早期的作品,從MV可以看到將近三十年前團員青澀的模樣,這同時也是U2拍攝的第一支MV。
Did I disappoint you or let you down? 我是否讓你失望,讓你悲傷 Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 我是否該感到罪惡,接受審判 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, 因為我們開始時我就看到了結局 Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. 是的,我看到你的盲目,我知道我是贏家 So I took what's mine by eternal right. 因此我堅持我永遠是對的 Took your soul out into the night. 把你的靈魂丟進黑夜 It may be over but it won't stop there, 也許會有結束,但永遠不會停止 I am here for you if you'd only care. 只要妳還在乎,我就會一直為你守候 You touched my heart you touched my soul. 你撫慰了我的心靈、我的靈魂 You changed my life and all my goals. 你改變了我的生活、我的追逐 And love is blind and that I knew when, 我知道愛是盲目的 My heart was blinded by you. 當我的心靈也因為你而盲目 I've kissed your lips and held your head. 我吻過你的唇,抱你在懷中 Shared your dreams and shared your bed. 一起作夢、一同安眠 I know you well, I know your smell. 深深的瞭解妳,熟悉妳的氣味 I've been addicted to you. 我已經耽溺著妳
Goodbye my lover. 再見我的愛人 Goodbye my friend. 再見我的朋友 You have been the one. 妳是唯一 You have been the one for me. 妳是我今生的唯一
I am a dreamer but when I wake, 我是個愛作夢的人,但當我醒過來的時候 You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. 妳帶走的不是我的精神--妳帶走的是我的夢 And as you move on, remember me, 當妳繼續向前時,請記得我 Remember us and all we used to be 記住我們曾經在一起的時光 I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. 看過妳哭,看過妳笑 I've watched you sleeping for a while. 看過妳安靜的睡臉 I'd be the father of your child. 我本應該是你孩子的父親 I'd spend a lifetime with you. 我本應該與妳共渡一生 I know your fears and you know mine. 我們熟知彼此的恐懼 We've had our doubts but now we're fine, 我們消除了以往對彼此的猜疑 And I love you, I swear that's true. 我愛妳,我發誓 I cannot live without you. 我的生活不能沒有妳
Goodbye my lover. 再見我的愛人 Goodbye my friend. 再見我的朋友 You have been the one. 妳是唯一 You have been the one for me. 妳是我今生的唯一
And I still hold your hand in mine. 我仍然將妳的手緊握在我手中 In mine when I'm asleep. 即使在我熟睡的時候 And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. 當我跪倒在妳腳下,我會把我的靈魂承送給妳
Goodbye my lover. 再見我的愛人 Goodbye my friend. 再見我的朋友 You have been the one. 妳是唯一 You have been the one for me. 妳是我今生的唯一
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. 我的心已經完全掏空,完全掏空 I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. 完全,完全,完全被你掏空
I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react And games that never amount To more than they're meant Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black You have suffered enough And warred with yourself It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice You've made it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice You've made it now Falling slowly sing your melody I'll sing along
Hereunder is an essay I highly praise written by Ernest Hemingway, the author of "The Old Man and the Sea".
True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest-it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings , one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience and displine, regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man begun to live more serious within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superiou to your previous self.
I am moving moving moving moving To a place with free I am moving moving moving moving To a place without lonely I wanna go home Which one could be the one
I am still moving moving moving moving To a place with free I am still moving moving moving moving To a place without lonely
