昨天music shopping, 一口氣買了3張Linda Ronstadt 的CD, Greatest Hits I & II, Dedicated to the one I love, and For Sentimental Reasons.
如果說我的一切美麗光明物, 一定少不得Linda; 她年青時代的歌, 代表一代的個性堅強, 但内心柔軟的年輕知性女青年, 除了後來的EvaCassidy外, 她是我最愛的女歌手: 聽說她得了Parkinson's disease, 不能再唱了, 很可惜。但她年輕和充滿感情的歌曲, 仍然保留在CD中。
她的名曲Long long time, 是所有當年年輕女孩的'飲歌", youtube 上面有一段留言說得很好:
'What
makes this song so very sad is it is true in so many young women's lives. It is
also the beginning of an experience that actually leads one to the path of real
love. One learns if feelings aren't reciprocated at the beginning to move on.
The last verse is very important; She is resolving and accepting the
situation, so she can let it go.'
年輕時的暗戀, 是成長的必經階段......
"Long
Long Time"
Love will
abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.
