Oasis / Let There Be Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TqJa0RZOUc




Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love*4

(I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
 Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams
 Let there be love*4)

Come on Baby Blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you don't let go it's gonna pass you by

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love

這幾天,聽了好多事情。其中最令人震驚的,莫過於喜事變喪事吧。

開開心心準備結婚的情侶,婚紗都拍好了,準新娘卻在訂婚宴前夕,因為長期生病的病情突然惡化,而住進加護病房。數日後,原是預定要轉進普通病房的她,病情直轉急下,離開了未婚夫與家人朋友...

這樣的事情聽起來很芭樂,早已經是偶像劇和電影中看到就轉台的劇碼。可是當它真正發生了,即使只是間接知道當事人,甚至不認識,但那因為太真實而顯得太不真實的感覺,卻能夠貫穿整個人的情緒與想法。

在看了很多高潮迭起,又聽了不少生離死別後,我常常自以為不在意地說「人生如戲」。但不知怎地,每每遇到像這樣如戲般不由得人的人生,即使僅僅在一瞬間裡擦身而過,都仍舊會帶來片刻的無語,以及長長的,長長的惆悵。

在忽明忽暗的嘆息裡,我不知該如何感受當事人們的感受。此時,心中想到了 Oasis 的 Let there be love。很憂傷的曲調,很溫柔的聲音;彷彿可以把人整個包覆起來。

痛苦會過去,美不一定會留下。But let there be love.
