播放器里面的歌曲,不断地更换,那些传颂爱情的靡靡之音,总是在才开始就被我掐掉。。觉得不可名状地听不下去,最后转到外文的,顺耳就行,反正也听不怎么明白。。。这一次停在了tommy shane steiner的那曲What If She's an angle。 这歌淘来很久了,却没有怎么太注意过,今天反复听太多遍,英文不怎么好的我竟听出了意味。翻出歌词来,仔细地读,原来它是提醒我们更多地去关注你身边的那些需要帮助的人。突然就觉得无比地感动起来。所以今天想要贴上来与你们分享。
有一段乐评是这样写的;“steiner 的音乐作品,透射出牛仔们质朴的人生观:当你无奈的时候,不妨豁达地去创造生活;当你获得了美满的生活时,不妨去关注需要帮助的人,珍惜人生中的美好事物。现在,无论身在何处,tommy shane steiner依然如故,心中永存着余辉中那一望无际的德州牧场 ”
我并不了解这个男人,我只听过他这一首歌。但是,这个有着好莱坞影人的金发却又有着纯正的乡村歌喉的男人,《What If She's an angle》 发人深省歌词的温暖深意,带给我的惊诧和感动却让我久久地放不下这曲子。也许你听过之后,会反省曾经几时对待生活的淡漠态度, 会更加努力认真地去热爱生活, 或者你还是一如既往的打发日子。但是在雨过后的晴天,就像今天,我总是在想我们是需要给予生活和身边人温暖的,这样温暖才可以最顺利和合理地反射到我们的身上。所以,若有天使,观察你是否用心尽力去帮助另一个人的时候,我们是可以去努力不让她失望的,不是?
Ps:
<What If She's an angle >
There's a man, standing on the corner,
With a sign saying: "Will work for food."
You know the man, you see him every morning,
The one you never give your money to.
You can sit there with your window rolled up,
Wonderin' when the light's gonna turn green.
Never knowing what a couple more bucks,
In his pocket might mean.
What if he's an angel sent here from heaven?
And he's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Trying to forget what you saw in his face.
Knowing deep down you could have been his savin' grace.
What if he's an angel?
There's a man, and there's a woman,
Livin' right above you in apartment G.
There's a lot of noise comin' through the ceiling,
And it don't sound like harmony.
You can sit there with your TV turned up,
While the words in his anger fly.
But come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on,
Can you look her in the eye?
What if she's an angel sent here from heaven?
And she's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Tryin' to forget what you saw in her face.
Knowing deep down you could have been her savin' grace.
What if she's an angel?
Instrumental Break.
A little girl, on daddy's lap,
Hidin' her disease with a baseball cap.
You can turn the channel, most people do.
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes?
What if she's an angel sent here from heaven?
And she's making certain that you're doing your best,
To take the time to help one another:
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
Trying to forget what you saw in her face.
Knowing deep down you could have been her savin' grace
倘若她是天使
一个男子站在街角
身边的标示告之
他已失去了工作
你每天清晨都能见到他
只是你从不施舍
你安逸的坐在窗前
寻思着何时黄昏来临
却不曾考虑
那男子口袋中的几元钱对他的意义
倘若他是天使
从天间下凡
观察你是否用心尽力去帮助另一个人
兄弟
你会通过这个测试吗
你可以一如既往的打发日子
并抹去那张脸在你脑海中记忆
但你深知自己曾有过帮助他的机会
倘若他是天使
你的公寓楼上居住着一对夫妻
透过天花板
你能听到争执声此起彼伏
当他的怒吼声传来
你可以安然的坐在屋内开响电视的音量
而次日
当看着她受伤的印记
你是否还有勇气注视她的眼睛
倘若她是天使
从天间下凡
观察你是否用心尽力去帮助另一个人
兄弟
你会通过这个测试吗
你可以一如既往的打发日子
并抹去那张脸在你脑海中记忆
但你深知自己曾有过帮助她的机会
倘若她是天使
一个小女孩坐在父亲的膝上
她的棒球帽
遮掩住她病痛的模样
你可以象其他很多人那样转换频道
但是
倘若你是女孩的父亲
你会如何感受 |
