empty humpty dumpty

人空了，就會挖得更深看自己空到哪裡。


在忙碌中我們渴望寧靜，
然而回到一片空白時，
又開始懷念起那手足無措的時候，
我想人永遠都無法滿足現況吧，
想著一段段好壞參半的過去，
說服著自己上癮著，
將自己旋繞在這轉不出去的圈圈中。
留下來也好，
離開也好，
總以為一步跨出去的是解脫，
然而空虛卻是超乎期待的奢侈，
未想過要如此乾淨地到底，
到盡頭，
倒從頭，
是害怕將自己放空後剩下的是什麼都沒有，
什麼都沒有，
什麼都沒有。

我們承受了一切其實可以放下的，
卻選擇逃避了那些不能夠輕易放下的，
我們都在喜歡中迷失自己，
而在不喜歡中卻又過得太清醒。

just can't stop hallelujah!

哈雷路亞～！


雖然我一直都相信有神的存在，但這次不談宗教。

在每個時期好像都會有一些因為巧合或是特定事件而讓你不去注意它也難的歌曲，最近就是這首Hallelujah。

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory marchIt's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you'd let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the Holy Ghost was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there is a God above
But all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
And it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah是Leonard Cohen在1985年寫下的一首詩歌，雖距今才20餘年，但翻唱次數據說已累積高達150多次以上，並且仍持續增加中，和目前Beatles排名第一的yesterday有得拼，都是數一數二的超級口水歌。



前陣子被Rufus Wainwright的版本洗腦了好一陣子，最近原唱版本又出現在電影Watchmen當中，比較起Leonard低沉、充滿磁性又略帶缺陷美的聲線，Rufus唱起來雖隨性但也感覺力道十足，不然人也不是這麼容易就會被洗腦的(哈哈)，最近又聽說楊乃文的新英文專輯也要收錄這首歌，看來這場翻唱接力賽還是停不下來囉，繼續期待啦。
