很久沒有介紹歌曲了
今天想到一首很好聽的歌
覺得可以推薦給大家聽聽看
這首歌
是Charlene(不是香港女歌手蔡卓妍喔)
的I've Never Been To Me
這首歌是Charlene極少數的代表作
一推出就在1982年登上Billboard的季軍
也登上英國金榜的冠軍
如果不聽它的歌詞
單聽旋律會覺得很好聽
可是聽它的歌詞
一開始除了有一種很煽情的感覺
(畢竟，一首歌裡要講到做愛那麼多次也是很少見的)
之後，會給人一種深層的醒思
聽完這首歌會想，
人，到底做了很多事情後
什麼才是真正自己想做的呢？
很多時候，
我們做的事情只是為了虛榮
為了滿足別人的期望
或者是連自己都不知道幹嘛做
最後到底自己想要的是什麼呢？
當一個人不能做自己的時候
其實是很可悲的
如果可以
我也希望
在接下來治療憂鬱症的這段時間裡
可以多做一些
自己真正想做的事
歌詞如下：
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
You’re a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I’ve no doubt you dream about the things you’ll never do
But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you
I’ve been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me
Please lady, please, lady, don’t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you why I’m all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won’t you share a part of a weary heart
that has lived a million lies
I’ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed ’em what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings
And I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t supposed to see
I’ve been to paradise
But I’ve never been to me
(spoken)
Hey, you know what paradise is? It’s a lie
A fantasy we create
about people and places as we’d like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It’s that little baby you’re holding,
And it’s that man you fought with this morning,
the same one you’re going to make love with tonight
That’s truth, that’s love
Sometimes I’ve been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
And never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I’ve been to paradise
But I’ve never been to me
