tragedy

















電腦莫名奇妙的掛了。
天啊!
於是你自2003年所有的照片、檔案、所有有的沒的風花雪月回憶和故事、旅行的、土耳其照片,舊金山的照片,日本、新加坡、法國,音樂,火車橫跨美洲之旅,現在全部通通在那個神奇的小小硬碟裡。你只有希望裡面盡責的小精靈,可要好好保管一切的東東阿,有一天還是要把裡面的檔案叫出來的。是阿,這些有的沒的,莫名奇妙的檔案的確是A price beyond rubies, beyond tears.
非常敘述性的,你想起了Emmylou Harris在RedDirt Girl專輯裡邊的一首歌-tragedy。

Some say it's destiny
Whether triumph or tragedy
But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea
And nothing we gather
Comes for free

I would have paid down through the years
A price beyond rubies, beyond tears
To keep you safe with me
But your suspicion and your fear
Your vow to let nobody near was your trinity
Such a tragedy

I drew the best hand you'd ever hold
Then cashed my winnings in long ago
Settled for silver how could I know
You were waiting with the gold

I could have caused your heart to yield
But I was only a disturbance in the field
Of your dreams
And I will never see you cry
You won't be with me when I die
A waste of you and me
A tragedy

We took the wrong train toKingdom come now
No more damage
Can be done baby
It's just what the world don't need
It's another stinkin tragedy

That's how the story goes
Our chapter's coming to a close
We are history
But I will always think of you
Every day until my days are through
You made me believeIn tragedy

Emmylou Harris 是你很喜歡的女歌手之一。
出生於1947年阿拉巴馬州的Emmylou,直到大學期間才正式的學習音樂,出到早期,原本以鄉村歌手著稱,學習Bob Dylan和Joan Baez,後來將民謠、輕搖滾加入自己後期的創作,清亮的歌聲加上特殊的唱腔,還有充滿豐富意象、反戰、以個人生活為題的歌詞內容,Emmylou贏得了多次的葛萊美獎,這張2000年發行的RedDirt Girl就是其中的一張得獎專輯。

Oh, yeah…親愛的還在硬碟裡的東東們,I will always think of you.
你喃喃的說著 。
