I've never been to me BY Charlene

   I've never been to me Charlene
      (Ken Kirsch / Ronald Miller)
 
  Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
  You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
  I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
  But, I wish someone had talked to me
  Like I wanna talk to you.....

  Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
  I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
  But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
  I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

  Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
  'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
  I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
  Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....
 
  Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
  I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
  I've been undressed by kings and
  I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
  I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

  [spoken]
  Hey, you know what paradise is?
  It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
  But you know what truth is?
  It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
  The same one you're going to make love with tonight
  That's truth, that's love......
  Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
  But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
  I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free

  Hey lady......
  I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
  But I've never been to me
  (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
  I've been to paradise, never been to me
  (I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
  I've been to paradise, never been to me
  (I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
  I've been to paradise, never been to me
  (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
  I've been to paradise, never been to me

 I've Never Been to Me是一首充满女性自觉的抒情歌曲。一听到便马上被那舒缓的旋律和略显沧桑的歌喉吸引。细细品位歌词,有一种说不出的感悟。请听到此歌的朋友体味一下歌曲所表达的情怀。

歌曲的叙述方式十分特别:描述一个历经沧桑的女人,见到一个因不满自己目下的生活、准备去追寻“自由”的怨妇,忍不住真挚地提出忠告“我自己也曾经有过放荡形骸的生活,甚至为追寻所谓的自由走遍了世界;而且凭借年轻和美貌,曾得到过别的女人做梦都不敢想的快乐时光;但是到头来却是一场空,等到年纪大了,发现自己追求的不过是镜花水月,甚至从未有过真正的自我”。虽然歌中唱的是劝告别人,但听起来却像是在规劝另一个自己,一个几十年前的自己。她规劝那位彷徨的妇女,“要好好珍惜自己的拥有,珍惜自己怀抱中的孩子,以及那经常拌嘴却是真心爱自己的丈夫”。她说自己虽然到过所谓的快乐“天堂”,却从来没未找到过自我,希望别人不要再重蹈她的覆辙。

这首歌虽然是告戒一位女性,可是对于生活在当今社会的许多人都有教育意义,珍视现在拥有的一切,不要等到失去时才后悔。歌曲最精彩的部分我认为是那段口述:“  Hey, you know what paradise is?
  It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
  But you know what truth is?
  It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
  The same one you're going to make love with tonight
  That's truth, that's love.”

 
最幸福的莫过于最贴近生活的,离我们最近的,可以伸手可及的。所以大家:BE HAPPIER!

博客上有了声音

今天终于在我的博客建设上又添了一块大砖,加上了我最近非常喜欢的一首歌.because of you。
这几天大家都在讨论天气,我也被这忽冷忽热的北京春天弄的一把鼻涕,春天确实来了,这让人既舒服又嫉妒的季节!
because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so i don t get hurt
because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
希望做一个人的“you”.
