LEONARD COHEN - IN MY SECRET LIFE (AGE 18 AND UP)

我第一次聽到這首歌, 是一個晚上,從UBC開出來, 沿著幽靜的十街慢慢行駛. 這首歌幽幽地從收音機裏傳出, 沉著厚實的嗓音和當時的情景非常相配,隨著車身的搖動,我真正地被迷住了,好像進入另一種生活, 我的SPIRITUAL LIFE. 又似乎被歌詞帶入夢幻,一種帶著痛苦的夢幻.

後來在THE L WORD裏又聽到這首歌. 這裏貼的VIDEO也是這部電視劇的片斷. 可能很多人會不喜歡VIDEO的內容,但我實在喜歡這首歌,忍不住貼上來.幾個可選擇的VIDEO中好像也就是這個最配這首歌的歌詞.

我迷上了LEONARD的嗓音, 尤其是AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH高上去的地方,回味無窮,這也是誘惑吧.

In my Secret Life

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
In my secret life.
