重聽大學時代喜歡的Paula Cole
才知道好歌真的百聽不厭.....
不同年紀
不同心境
不同感動與共鳴
出自Paula Cole《This Fire》專輯
曾經被選用為電影《X情人》(City of Angels)的配樂插曲
Paula 具穿透力的靈魂吶喊式唱腔,類似但有別於Alanis Morissette
相同的是,她們都是極具社會觀察力的生活詩人 或歌者
因此,生產的音樂總是那麼真誠 那麼出自內心
常常,我們的生命在等待之中停機
到底在等什麼?
要等多久?
真的會有什麼發生?
等待,是信心,還是不肯離開?
是過渡,還是終結?
然,時日有限
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every eye
She had two babies
One was six months one was three
In the war of '44
Every telephone ring
Every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh would her son grow to know his father
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
He showed up all wet
On the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years passed by and now
He has granddaughters
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
Oh so you look at me from across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me, I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life
All we have is this very moment
And I don't want to do what
His father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every eye
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the love in every eye
