这是我听Snow Patrol的第一首歌,那时的头脑里,大概也纠缠着一堆混乱不堪的念头,所以才执着的望着How To Be Dead的标题出神。
当Gary Lightbody的声音轻轻响起,我仿佛是被瞬间击中。明明是忧伤的调调,可是却无法抗拒的他吟唱里的温暖,轻轻的扣动着心弦,不忍打断他的每个字句。
他是那样的诚恳的唱出他的惆怅他的无奈他挣扎的抵抗,我的心仿佛也随着悬到一个莫名的地方,各种情绪不断的翻滚,随着音乐上下起伏。
每当唱起这首歌的时候,思绪总是不知道飘向了何方,我甚至不知道我在唱什么,可是却有一种奇妙的安慰。也许是他娓娓道来的话语让我得以宁静,又或是这旋律有着安抚人心的力量。
愿,这首歌也能给所有偶遇它的混乱的心,带来一片慰藉。

Artist: Snow Patrol
Song: How To Be Dead

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth,
No you don't know what happened, and you never, will,
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall,
This blanket is freezing, its been out in the hall,
Where you fight me for hours, 'til I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing, that I wanted before,
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way.

Please keep your hands down, and stop raising your voice,
Its hardly what I'd be doing, if you gave me a choice,
Its a simple suggestion, can you give me some time,
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'cause both my shoulders are heavy, from the weight of us both,
You're a big boy now, so lets not talk about growth,
You've not heard a single word I have said, Oh My God,

Please take it easy, It can't all be my fault,
I haven't made half the mistakes, that you've listed so far,
Baby let me explain something, its all down to drugs,
At least I remember taking them, and not a lot else,
It seems I've stepped over lines, you've drawn again and again,
but if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out,
Dr Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride.
