期末考的惡夢總算在上禮拜五告一段落了.
果然是無比漫長的兩個禮拜啊...不但經歷了會令人極度消化不良的口試, 還熬過了考完後右手會暫時癱瘓的變態筆試 (是說後者似乎已經不陌生了? 冏) ....真是辛苦大家啦(笑) 我們終於又恢復自由之身了!!XD 但沒想到才一轉眼在大學的第三年就要結束了... 希望今年的我們都的確有所成長, 朝藥劑師的目標又邁進了一步! ....話是這麼說, 可是其實今年捨棄這個目標的念頭已經不知道閃過腦海多少次了. 尤其是考試期間它更像是寄生蟲一樣在我的潛意識裡蠢蠢欲動, 讓我有好幾次在瞪著桌上的一疊筆記時都得努力壓抑著一股想就這麼放一把火把所有煩人的藥名都燒成灰燼的衝動 == ("燃燒~~想像不到痛還在燃燒♪")
不過考完試後終於能靜下心來好好更新網誌還真是一種享受啊~ 而且還能窩在床上看小說, 在燦爛的陽光下走去逛街看電影, 穿著短褲在街上喝著冰果汁 - 讓人不禁有種沐浴在平凡幸福中的感覺XD ...或許真的要有壓力的存在才能感受壓力後的舒暢吧? 話說前天晚上因為Jenn的熱情推薦讓我又接觸到久違了的西洋音樂...而其中又屬這首"If I Die Young"的歌詞令我產生了奇妙的共鳴. 所以就想趁這機會推薦一下Kalafina和梶浦由記以外的歌曲囉~
Jenn推薦的這首歌其實並不是原唱版本(原唱是The Band Perry - 來自美國阿拉巴馬州的某鄉村團體), 而是由YouTube上的某個網路歌手(好像還曾經參加過Glee的audition?) - Sam Tsui所翻唱的Cover版. 副歌中所描寫的情境除了優雅淒美之外, 還滲透出些許被笑容掩飾住的悲傷與不捨... 這種輕描淡寫的堅強與溫柔, 讓我的心不由自主的緊揪了一下. 加上這位歌手清亮高亢的嗓音也有適度的把歌曲中的感情表達了出來, 使它的旋律就像副歌中所唱到的綢緞一樣從耳邊悄聲滑過...
總之, 如果不去注意MV中Sam唱歌時慣用的猙獰表情 (...According to Jenn? XD) 這首歌還真是一首舒服耐聽的作品啊~ 在陽光普照的午後時光聆聽非常的合適唷!!
If I Die Young
詞曲: Kimberly Perry 歌: Sam Tsui
(Chorus)
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
(Chorus)
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never fell in love with no one
But it sure felt nice when I held you in the sun
And you took my hand and said love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
A penny for my thoughts
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'...
(Chorus)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life
