The Saltwater
《The Saltwater》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
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。
