Fly and Be Free

泣訴

喜歡Diana Krall，她的歌聲溫婉、有力，訴說著一個個的故事。同樣的歌，由她演唱，就是有那麼的一點不一樣。

她的 "Live in Paris" 專輯，翻唱了Joni Mitchell的一首歌。Joni Mitchell的歌，一向有種淡淡的哀愁，對人生透徹的分析，帶點無奈，卻是很溫柔。那種歌詞裡的軟弱，把一個女人的悲痛，輕輕的、淡然地刻劃，字裡行間的感動，總教我想哭。

《A Case of You》 (J.Mitchell)

Just before our love got lost
you said"I am as constant as a northern star"
And said, "Constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In a blue TV screen light
I drew a map of CanadaOh Canada
And your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And drawn to those who ain't afraid

I remember when you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
She said"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

You are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

我們追隨星夜的感覺。我們跑到星斗下，我們追尋著星。我們原來不是尋星。我們原來看不清夜。是那個擺脫不了的黑色影子，追隨著女人。是那同樣黑暗的男人，讓她不能自制地栽進去。寂寞是如此的不饒人，閃亮的星是因為被黑暗包圍著，但正因如此，星星不怕黑夜。寂寞。痛楚。寂寞。勇氣。寂寞。等待。那一剎那的心靈交流。赤裸。傷痕累累。溫柔。有力。

這夜，她的聲音，給我很大的安慰。
