昨日重现

绝美视听


    

    我非常喜欢这首歌,每次听到它,心里就有说不出的激动,总使我想起过去的美好时光,仿佛昨日真的就在眼前。有时怀旧也是一种美,虽然第一次听这首歌的日子已过去很久,但这熟悉的旋律再次想起时,依然能让人觉得恍如昨天。以前总是忙,也没有闲下来的心情去好好听这首歌,现在,幽静的周末,独自一个人听起这歌其味道确实不同于往昔,毕竟这些年间有太多的点点滴滴……
         Carpenters 是美国 70 年代商业上最成功的柔情音乐团体之一,这是来自康涅狄格州黑文市的一支兄妹二重唱组合。哥哥Richard(生于19461015日,键盘手兼歌手)和妹妹Karen(生于195032日,歌手兼鼓手)。199324Karen 因神经性厌食症引起心力衰竭而突然逝世。《Make Believe It's Your First Time》则成为她身后留下的英国当年热门歌曲。
         这首歌是卡朋特的哥哥Richard写的,歌大意如是:第一段写作者大人/卡朋特年少时很喜欢听一首歌曲,而且喜欢这首歌曲中的所有章节。中间写的是歌中之歌,描写作者所喜欢的那首歌的故事,一个缠绵悱恻的故事:一对男女相恋到分手,但是又不甘心,两人又做一对朋友,就像一见如故的那种。后来两人又在朋友和恋人之间挣扎,一会儿是朋友,一会儿是恋人,反反复复……后来,终于有一天,男孩还是又跟女孩分手了。历史重演,这伤透了女孩的心,作者听到这里,自己也哭了,原因是作者本人也有类似经历。所以应该明白作者为什么对那首歌用情之深了吧。末尾所写是作者的感受,一切就如历史在重演……
