Artist:Hello Saferide
Song:Long Lost Pen Pal

Hello
Do you remember me
I am your Long Lost Pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello

Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear Long Lost Pen pal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children
and a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend


这首《Long Lost Pen Pal》讲述的是两个笔友之间的平凡故事,不经意地低吟浅唱,一直就这样淡淡的,淡淡从容,淡淡幽雅,淡淡忧伤,淡淡美丽,淡淡寂寞,聆听,会发现一切都是那么随意,一切都是那么淡淡的......
原名Annika Norlin的Hello Saferide,迈入07年的最新动向是Sakert!这支以瑞典传统语言与歌谣为创作蓝本的音乐project。素有邻家女孩形象,acoustic pop风味的恬淡民谣,Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他,以小女孩的自吟带来了委实动人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」专辑。

关于这张专辑评价中有这么一句:"这是一张关于相思成灾,寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑,洋溢其中的淳淳爱意令人迷醉。"
