这首歌是我跟男友分离的前几天被我发现的...想想也快一个月了
每次听着听着,跟着歌词唱,声音都会扭曲掉...眼泪也禁不住的滑落。
先说说背後的故事吧。
这首歌是由主唱Tom Higgenson写的,歌词是在说远距离恋爱的故事。
女朋友到了大城市念书,而自己留在这边为梦想打拼。
这首歌里面提到的 Delilah 其实真有其人,是个毕业於哥伦比亚大学、
且是明年奥运的障碍赛参赛者 Delilah DiCrescenzo。
她跟 Plain White T’s 的主唱(也是这首歌的创作者)Tom Higgenson 其实并没有恋爱,
是在经由他们共同的朋友介绍彼此认识之後,Tom 突然就有了这个灵感,想为她写
一首歌。他说 Delilah DiCrescenzo 是他见过最美的女人,有点可笑有点悲伤,因
为这首歌讲的深情,其实并不是真的。以下是他受访所说的:
“There was never anything between us. It was kind of funny — kind of
sad, actually. The story of my life… I thought she was the most beautiful
girl I had ever seen. I told her, ‘I have a song about you already.’
Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth.”
Delilah DiCrescenzo并没有因为这首歌爱上Tom,她其实已经有男朋友了,所以
因为这首歌,也带给她一些困扰。以下是她的回应:
“It was so beautifully written”, she says. “There was pressure to live
up to this ideal. I didn’t know how to be polite but, you know, ditch him.”
歌词也顺便PO上来吧。
"Hey There Delilah"
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
虽然人,时空地点都不太一样,但我还是觉得这很像在说我的故事。
我最喜欢的一段就是"A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way."
我和我男友真的真的是在地球的两端。我在这里,他却在遥远的巴西最南端。
说起来最近的路程可能是从地心挖个洞下去吧(苦笑)。
连这次巴西的空难都让我感触良多,因为如果我可以顺利去拜访他,我悲伤的
回家旅途就是一模一样的路线。如果说就这样天人永隔,会不会对我
来说比思念来的好受呢? 其实想想,如果那真的发生在自己身上,这样的远距离好像,
也不算什麽了。
很难过下礼拜一的生日要自己一个人过。连我们的一周年也没有办法一起...
但是life goes on,对吧? 我相信这样的挑战只会让我们更珍惜对方。
板上的情侣们也要加油喔!!!!!!
最後还是要推荐一下歌...
