這幾天忙忙忙,竟然只剩下聽音樂可以舒緩情緒。
盛夏的情懷,想要騎著單車去徜徉的心情,好像被烈日與午後雷陣雨阻撓了,
直到聽見這首歌,看見這個MV的影像。
肯妮貝兒(Corinne Bailey Rae )的聲音,
一點點慵懶中又帶著真誠和純淨,音符簡單、甜美、卻又豐富,
加上畫面的輕鬆自然,感覺好舒服!
最喜歡副歌的歌詞(翻譯在最下方),給人夏天的希望感:
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
追尋自己,不必穿著正式,只要最喜歡的那件退色牛仔褲,
在心裡悠揚的樂音中,輕踩腳踏車,
徜徉在內心的草原與道路上,享受沿路的陽光。
接受自己的不完美,因應世界而改變自己,
不要擔心受怕,但要鼓勵自己,勇往前去。
最後,總會綁上紅絲帶,在最適合的位置…
" You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. "
歌曲彷彿是自己與記憶溝通的方式。
有一天,當重新聽見記憶中的曲調時,會像回頭張望自我一般,
過去聽歌時的心情,自然浮現。
這也是我愛音樂的原因,符合我格子的宗旨:
老的時候,點綴茶香! ^_^y … 也以這首歌送給好朋友~ 美女 YuHi~

And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
just relax, just relax
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
