Love Story
《Love Story》是一首經典老歌。
老歌,像一本泛了黃的舊書,只想輕輕的翻開它,用心去聆聽,細細品味,然後跟着輕哼,不捨得丟棄;老歌,像一壇陳年老酒,開啟的那一刻,醇香味濃,小抿一口,便令人回味無窮[1];老歌,更像一本兒時的相冊,那種鎖進抽屜里,塵封許久沒有再翻動過,當有一天不經意打開它,已逝的燦爛年華便清晰如鏡地呈現在眼前……
老歌,是一種情懷,唱起它,便會觸動我們似乎已經麻木許久但其實內里依舊非常容易感動的心[2]。

歌詞
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I』m standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 』Please, don』t go.』
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I』ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You』ll be the prince and I』ll be the princess
It’s a love story - baby just say 』Yes.』
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 』cause we』re dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
』Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 』Please, don』t go,』
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I』ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You』ll be the prince and I』ll be the princess
It’s a love story - baby just say 』Yes.』
Romeo save me; they』re tryin』 to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it’s real.
Don』t be afraid; we』ll make it out of this mess.
It’s a love story - baby just say 』Yes.』
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin』 around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
Romeo save me - I』ve been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don』t know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
Marry me, Juliet. you』ll never have to be alone.
I love you and that’s all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It’s a love story - baby just say 』Yes.』
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...
老歌魅力
老歌抓住了人們心中那根最淳樸的神經,每每讓人們在內心深處獨自享受着莫可名狀的感動,不管時代怎麼改變,審美觀念如何的「潮」[3],但人追求純潔的心是不會改變的,我沒有經歷過上山下鄉[4]的改造,但《小芳》[5]那直白樸素的話語卻仍然令我充滿遐想。我雖然不曾有過戀人,但《濤聲依舊》中的那份感受卻仍讓我在動情之處潸然淚下。
老歌如同一部無聲電影[6],歌者不需要是帥哥美女,也無需熱舞和激光束的渲染,老歌所憑藉的是他那純粹的藝術魅力征服了一個又一個聽眾的心。
老歌如酒,放的時間越久,它所勾起的思緒就越久遠。人生之路漫漫,就讓這「老朋友」陪着我們內心深處的那些簡單的往事,在時光的流逝中,時不時的給我們帶來一絲久違的溫暖。
