今天在MSN上,IR傳了一首歌給我,Rachael Yamagata的「Paper Doll」。
「喜歡」這種感覺很妙;一開始你並不會這麼直接的體驗到,只是隱約的覺得有什麼你該停下腳步多看一眼,一眼,然後就不一樣了。
很快的在Wikipedia上查到這位歌手的資料,日英德混血,父親是哈佛畢業的律師,母親則在紐約當藝術家。自小父母離異,但至今她跟兩邊都保持親密的關係。畢業於Holton-Arms School,這是一所很妙的女子學校,依網頁上的介紹採行兼顧身心靈的教育方針,學校座右銘是:「I will find a way or make one.」
我想這對Racheal Yamagata是一段很重要的時光,她有一首歌名字就叫做I’ll find a way。她是這樣看待自己的歌的:
I try my best to write of love and pain and explore how we humans treat each other, and what our souls are trying to get out at the same time. Performing is my meditation; writing my traveling companion. These songs are as truthful and in the moment as I could be at this point in my life. They are observational, touching, but with a sense of hopefulness that every piece, and each bit of pain had a reason. So that nothing is wasted. The never can be happenstance.
她先在芝加哥的一個樂團待了6年,然後帶著她寫的歌正式單飛。一點一滴的在看似混亂的人生中,找到她自己的方向,就像學校的座右銘:「I will find a way or make one.」
充滿魅力與故事的歌聲,如果你在某個時刻遇見了她,請一定要為她駐足,聽她為你唱出人生的美麗與哀愁。
