Love Story
Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way to the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
I got tired of waiting,
wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading,
when I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said,
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said,
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
We were both young when I first saw you
==========================================
第一次听到这首歌是还在加州的时候，时至盛夏。车内的广播打到96.5，已经开始播Love Songs After Dark，发觉天际只剩下一丝丝亮光.
然后旋律入耳。
她开口的瞬间我猛然间想到一个词。[动人心弦]。那时我还不知道她叫Taylor Swift，不知道有这样一个如今让欧美歌坛眼前一亮的女子。我只是在无意间记下了那首歌轻快的旋律，以及她极其平淡而又有力的唱出的那句，"You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story baby just say yes"。并不是什么独领风骚或是带着奇光异彩令人耳目一新的歌词，只是平平淡淡词句。然而却有种脱俗的风气。
我怎能不为其感动。
后来凭着那一句歌词我找出了这首歌。听的时候不由自主的感觉到心头一颤，说不上什么原因，就是觉得那旋律让人忍不住有点小小的感动。我才逐渐认识到Taylor Swift 是怎样的一个女子。
喜欢这首歌的主要原因应该是歌词了。整首歌无疑是以著名罗密欧和朱丽叶凄美的爱情故事为线索，但这首以莎士比亚年代主题故事为背景的歌字里行间却渗透出现代流行的风格。这首歌被大多数人归类为纯爱歌曲，其实并不归属于我所欣赏的类型，因为将情爱套进流行歌的情况数不胜数，无法不让人产生腻厌的感觉。然而Love Story里夹杂着一丝古典的韵味，却又不失那种浓郁的青春的气息，就如同"And my daddy said stay away from Juliet". 乍看之下没什么特别，但放下心来稍作品味，会突然发现其中的妙不可言之处。我想这是我被它深深吸引住的重要原因。于是优雅而轻松的曲调和意蕴细密的歌词加上她轻描淡写的轻吟，合成了这首歌。
我怎能不为其感动。
开头伴着轻轻的前奏，她唱出第一句"We were both young when I first saw you",有点小小的忧伤却带着整首歌通篇具有的淡然。
结尾从高潮段落过渡到柔和的情境中，她唱出最后一句"We were both young when I first saw you", 仍是小小的忧伤但不失通篇的淡然。
高潮的那段其实是在最后面，倒数第二段。
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
这和莎士比亚手下的悲剧截然相反。唱出来有一种说不出的震撼力。这就是Taylor的独特所在。她在最不起眼的地方给人埋藏着大堆大堆的宝藏，猛然间才觉悟到，原来这里还有如此的惊喜
我怎能不为其感动。
她才19岁。然而她给人带来的是无限的思索遐想。这就是她的独特之处吧。
因为她是Taylor Swift。 |
