The Saltwater
《The Saltwater》是一首经典老歌。
老歌,像一本泛了黄的旧书,只想轻轻的翻开它,用心去聆听,细细品味,然后跟着轻哼,不舍得丢弃;老歌,像一坛陈年老酒,开启的那一刻,醇香味浓,小抿一口,便令人回味无穷[1];老歌,更像一本儿时的相册,那种锁进抽屉里,尘封许久没有再翻动过,当有一天不经意打开它,已逝的灿烂年华便清晰如镜地呈现在眼前……
老歌,是一种情怀,唱起它,便会触动我们似乎已经麻木许久但其实内里依旧非常容易感动的心[2]。

歌词
I opened my eyes last night
and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore,
staring up at the planes that aret there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old
and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see
the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love
We need time, only time
When we re apart whatever are you thinking of
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone
So tell me darling, do you wish we d fall in love
All the time, all the time
Can you believe that the crew has gone
and wouldt let me sign o
All my islands have sunk in the deep,
so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights
when we count all the ship lights
I guess we ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love
We need time, only time
When we re apart whatever are you thinking of
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone
So tell me darling, do you wish we d fall in love
All the time, all the time
Time together is just never quite enough
When we re apart whatever are you thinking of
What will it take to make or break this hint of love
So tell me darling, do you wish we d fall in love
All the time, all the time
老歌魅力
老歌抓住了人们心中那根最淳朴的神经,每每让人们在内心深处独自享受着莫可名状的感动,不管时代怎么改变,审美观念如何的“潮”[3],但人追求纯洁的心是不会改变的,我没有经历过上山下乡[4]的改造,但《小芳》[5]那直白朴素的话语却仍然令我充满遐想。我虽然不曾有过恋人,但《涛声依旧》中的那份感受却仍让我在动情之处潸然泪下。
老歌如同一部无声电影[6],歌者不需要是帅哥美女,也无需热舞和激光束的渲染,老歌所凭借的是他那纯粹的艺术魅力征服了一个又一个听众的心。
老歌如酒,放的时间越久,它所勾起的思绪就越久远。人生之路漫漫,就让这“老朋友”陪着我们内心深处的那些简单的往事,在时光的流逝中,时不时的给我们带来一丝久违的温暖。
