Devastate Me
来虐我啊
我喜欢RachaelYamagata山形瑞秋的许多歌。不仅因为这些歌声沙哑,歌词简单,感情却浓郁深沉。还因为她们伴随着我这几年单恋热恋失恋,又重回到现在风轻云淡,自在轻安。她的歌声复刻了我苦甜交织的回忆,承载着我瑰丽神奇的青春。
现在上了大学,琐事纷呈迭至,学生活动、打工、写稿、实习、陪母亲出门应酬学习社交礼仪......从世俗的角度来说,都是些却都是些极有意义的的好事,我也深知别的没有能力没有出身的同龄人,求之还不得。但这些却都不符合我的爱好和生活态度。我已经很久没有搜过歌了,没有看过一本书了,没有写过日记了。搜歌于我,如同在潮落的沙滩上辨别精致的贝壳。若寻得好歌,同知己分享更是我另一番雅趣所在。唉,只是现在,一别半年和知己相见在海边,两人耳机虽然还戴着着同一副,却急着向对方汇报感情状况,分享新生活的见闻经历,再也不能平心静气地听歌啦。
山形有了新歌,连出两张碟,近二十首中数这首最活泼愉悦。我尝试去翻译,发现英语用起来也不如过去得心应手了。为了shouldn'thavedown还翻除了高中的笔记。看到过去那些一行行黑黑蓝蓝的水性笔字,心里不知道为何开始默念“春蚕到死丝方尽,蜡炬成灰泪始干”。我的床头还放着的李商隐诗集,没带去上大学,早已扑簌簌落满了灰尘,我拾起读了一页,就像被点燃了什么似的,学着张爱玲叹出一句“可爱又可哀的年岁啊”。
