so long, yesterday~


回家的时候,公交车上在放Norah Jones的MV。


沙漠中一条寂静的公路上,Norah手握方向盘,慢悠悠地哼着她的灵魂爵士,跑车配爵士,似乎有点不太搭调,不过这样的组合跟Norah的音乐倒是很有相仿之处,混杂的元素,却没有黑人音乐的躁动,依然安静、沉稳。
车子不停地向前行驶着,偶尔会有路人“意外”地出现在这片不毛之地上,有人在努力地向前奔跑,有人则是无奈地站在路旁,好象在等待,亦或是在喘息……或许是奇怪于为什么会有人在沙漠中停留,这时候Norah总会放慢车速,张望他们一阵,然后又继续前行~

突然觉得自己像极了那个停在沙漠中央,一脸落寞的人,他哪里是在喘息,分明就是在寻求帮助嘛,他多希望Norah能载他走出这片沙漠,可是,没有等到车的他,回过头来却又开始等待下一辆可能经过的“救命车”。所有人都在向前,只有他一个还徘徊在原地,这是出路吗??


太悲哀了点,还是说说我喜欢的Norah吧!

Norah很小便随母亲离开了她的出生地纽约,在得克萨斯州过了若干年之后,又孤身一人,回到了纽约。她的音乐里总是带着点忧伤,好象是要把远离纽约时的离愁别绪都用她的音乐诠释出来,然而,她的歌又伤而不悲,即使你身在异乡,一个人听,也不怕会难过。

链一首她的成名专辑"Come Away With Me"里非常好听的一支:"Seven Years"
so long, 我那些发霉的日子~

Norah Jones "Seven Years"

Spinning, laughing, dancing
To her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
That comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound
Spinning, laughing, dancing
To her favorite song
She's a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone
