The Blower's Daughter

自從看過電影"Closer(偷 情)"後,一直對那 首在片中迴蕩的歌曲印象深刻,可始終不知道那首歌是誰唱的,也不知道歌名.直到最近在廣播裡又聽到了那首歌,才突然地想要找起來. 相信看過這部電影的人一定也都會記得不論 Jude Law 走到哪裡,那首歌曲都一直一直的跟隨著,彷彿是硬生生的要把潛藏的心給扒開般的透徹與深刻. 有人說,這不是一首情歌(a love song),這是一首情慾之歌(a lust song),那種愛與恨夾雜交錯,執抝得抗拒卻又無法掙脫的心情,在Damien Rice的喑啞嗓音中,深深的又無奈的唱出那份曖曖之情. 最苦的愛情,是明明存在得那麼明顯,卻又得奮力隱藏,獨自一人時又不得不承認的那種感情吧!


The Blower's Daughter
(By Damien Rice)

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
