陽光大衛私房粉絲網

 

版主今晚去聽了Leonard Cohen的演唱會，剛剛回到家，心中非常滿足。Cohen的演唱會8點開始，11點半才結束，他今年75歲了，還有這種力氣唱3個小時的歌，我真是佩服他極了。他的現場演唱真是美妙到最高點，他的樂隊每個人都棒極了，Calgary的那個表演廳的收音又好到不行，加上燈光一切，當然Cohen的演唱是重點，他的男低音隨著歲月越來越成熟，那種歲月累積的自信，謙虛和圓熟，讓每首歌都像醇酒一樣迷人。我一邊聽他演唱，一邊想著我們的大衛，大衛的聲音本錢比Cohen更棒，慢慢更有自信之後，也會有像Cohen那種醇酒的味道會出來。

 

我們坐在三樓，一張票票面都要200元加幣，他15年沒辦演唱會，這次一到Calgary來，5000人場地的票，一開始賣5分鐘就賣完了，我們買的是黃牛票。

 

Cohen不只是歌手，他也是詩人。這首In My Secret Life是我最喜歡他的一首歌，大家聽的時候，注意歌詞，寫的太美了，他的現場比唱片更棒，版主聽的淚流滿面。

歌詞附在繼續閱讀之後。

I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Cant seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
Theres no one in sight.
And were still making love
In my secret life.

I smile when Im angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And Id die for the truth
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
Ill be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That its either black or white.
Thank g-d its not that simple
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what Im told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But Im always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And its crowded and cold
