Question

送一首《Let Her Go》给还未归家的你

Answer 1

不知道你们是怎么喜欢上一首歌的。我喜欢上一首歌通常是几秒钟的事情——当它前奏一响起，触到我的心，那我就会钟情，我不管那个歌手我到底喜不喜欢，ta人格如何，我只钟情我喜欢的旋律和歌词；如果一时不能爱上，那可能是不知道它创作背后的故事，如果故事能打动我，它也会列入我单曲循环的曲目。

英国民谣创作歌手Passenger的《Let her go》就是用它轻快的旋律，让我的耳朵清醒。这首歌用一种近乎愉悦的音调，叙说一个惆怅的故事，一个关于得到与失去的故事，有点像哥哥的《Monica》。我很喜欢里面的兼具排比和起兴的句子，only，only，only…说尽人生的变故和阵痛，这个“her”说的不仅仅是一个姑娘或爱情，我觉得它还代表的很多很多……

奥斯卡·王尔德有一句话可以概括这首歌： 人生有两个悲剧，第一是想得到的得不到，第二是想得到的得到了。

相信走过千山万水后的你也会懂得，也会幡然醒悟： 上天赐予你一场美梦，是为了支撑你坚定地、骄傲地走完这冗长的一生。

Let Her Go

---by Passenger

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有在身处低谷时才遥想过去峥嵘

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱

And you let her go

但真爱已逝

Staring at the bottom of your glass

酒杯已空 醉然凝视

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

痴妄有一天可以永远沉醉于美梦

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

但你知道 梦来的温柔 而醒的残酷

You see her when you close your eyes

当你闭上双眼 你仿佛看到了她

Maybe one day you'll understand why

也许终有一天你会领悟

Everything you touch surely dies

你是如何亲手毁掉了一段挚爱

But you only need the light when it's burning low

但你只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在乡愁涌动时才痛恨旅途遥远

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在已然放手后才始知那是真爱

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

繁星满天 你痴痴的望着天花板

Same old empty feeling in your heart

又是一个无比寂寞空虚的无眠夜

Cos love comes slow and it goes so fast

爱情来的温柔 去的残酷

Well you see her when you fall asleep

如今你只得在梦里与她相见

But never to touch and never to keep

可这梦脆弱的经不起触碰 经不起长久

'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep

你爱她越深 你亦而陷的越深

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在冰天雪地时才怀念阳光温暖

Only know you love her when you let her go

但真爱已逝

Well you let her go

但真爱已逝

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
