今晚的 Good night song, 来自新西兰 Neil Finn 和他的哥哥一起合唱的 Finn Brothers : won’t give in .
选这首歌儿,是因为这首歌儿其实唱的是一个悲伤的故事,主人公和所有亲人在一起,却没有被接纳的感觉,只有寒暄几句,然后消失。
没有相容的感觉,没有觉得大家团聚的喜悦,只有自己觉得无话可说的尴尬,won't give in .
但是我们其实每个人心中,都有正常交流,希望能互相认可的情绪,融入喜欢的环境的愿望,没人真愿意永远享受孤独和冷眼看世界的空旷。这再正常不过。和而不同,和在前,就已经说明了一切。
这首歌儿由兄弟两个共同演唱,哥哥弹钢琴,比较奔放,弟弟弹吉他,比较内敛,可共同演绎的效果,确是很好的。所以不一定要风格类似,这不同的火花碰撞,也能造就很好的讨论环境,前提是大家都知道对方的基本素质和说话习惯,大家都认同不同方式带来的碰撞和思考。
我把这首歌儿的歌词发在下面,用我的个人理解画了个极其简单的重点。
You call me up
I'd say a few words but
I'll try not to speak
Too long.
Please to be kind and
I'll try to explain
I'll probably get it
All wrong.
What does it mean when
You promise someone
No matter how hard
Or whatever may come
It means that I won't give in,
Won't give in
Won't give in
Cause everyone I love is here,
Say it once, and disappear.
Once in a while
I return to the fold
With people I call
My own.
Even if time
Is just a flicker of light
And we all have to
Die alone.
What does it mean when
You belong to someone
When you're born with a name,
When you carry it on.
It means that I won't give in,
Won't give in
Won't give in
Cause everyone I love is here,
All at once,
And I'll show you how to get here.
Come on now
Come on now
Can you feel it
I can see it in you.
Come on now
Come on now
Reveal it
Turn around won't you.
The right time
The right place
Right now
Turn around.
A chance is made
A chance is lost
I carry myself to the edge of the earth.
It means that I won't give in
Won't give in
Won't give in
Cause everyone I love is here,
Say it once, just say it,
And disappear
