Trauma　-情傷-

其實我最想學習的
是不再倚賴小屋。

有了這種覺悟，
未來我不會太勉強自己的。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

二三十年前的組合 ABBA 裡其中一員，
Agnetha Faltskog，唱出哀怨的情歌 If I thought you'd ever change your mind(要是你回心轉意)：



I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses as the sun begins to shine
Sweet perfume in tiny jeweled caskets
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would take you where the music's sweetest
And feed you winter fruits and summer wine
Show you things you've only read in story books
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would bring you happiness,
wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you summer rain,
and rainbow skies to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow,
my songs would keep you from the cold

But what use of flowers in the morning
when the garden they should grow in is not mine
And what use is the sunshine if I'm crying,
and my falling tears are mingled with the wine

Winter fruits and summer wine
Sweet perfume and columbine
If I thought you'd ever change your mind
If I thought you'd ever change your mind.

她散發成熟韻味之餘，
難得歌聲能保持甜美動人。
歌詞裡那些珠寶、佳釀、彩虹、花園等，
也構成童話插畫般美麗的意境。

如果上面這首是傷中帶甜，
以下 Evanescence 的 My Immortal
就是傷得痛徹心脾：



I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

主音 Amy Lee 的歌聲很具穿透力，
似乎真的能刺破傷心人本來一息尚存的靈魂。
可是，這首歌真的很美，
繾綣的鋼琴音應記一功。

2009.8.25 補上：

 

 

Kelly Clarkson - Because of You (acapella version)

　

　

最純粹，

所以聽起來最孤單，最脆弱，

最讓人心碎的版本。

　

　

有些人的心，並不會安安靜靜地破碎。

平日堅強冷靜的女孩失去理智時吼出來的歌聲，

撕心裂肺：

　

　  

沒想到，我被這樣的歌聲懾住了，

覺得別有一種魅力。

簡直是把人聲的美感發揮到另一個極致。
