今晚的Good night song, 来自1979年出品的老歌儿,Supertramp 的 The logical song.
主唱自己年轻时代写的这一首,充满了自己的思考,对人生的思考。但是,确是迷茫和不知所措。
我们自己想的,和社会教我们的,好像有时候是对不上。好像有时候违背我们个人的意愿,好像有时候约束我们的自由,该接受还是该反抗?该学习还是该放弃?该做个简单的人还是该做个复杂的领导?
人生没有答案,问题都在歌儿里,可这要靠自己的路走出自己的答案。在歌手写这个的时候,他也是没有答案的。
这就是今天我的点评,没有答案的歌儿,没有答案的人生,都要靠你自己去寻找适合自己的答案。
逻辑绝大多数时候很有用,也很必要。但是无论对谁都逻辑的话,有时候是不是也有点无趣呢?还是要分人再看讲不讲逻辑吧?
Roger Hodgson,就是这首歌儿的作词之一,兼作曲和演唱者。
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh, take it take it yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's getting unbelievable
