刀郎沉默十年後發布新唱片,但他基本不評論, 也沒請代表發言。可他的sound被人類放了近200億次。這是好事還是不好?因為是自發的,所以好的應多於不好的。
最終隻有曆史能評判,被遺忘的應不太好。像這首從奧斯卡金像獎電影GRADUATE傳出的不被人遺忘的”反叛”E歌,《沉默之聲, The sound of silence》說了,不敢或不開囗saying something或會助長癌症。所以唱刀歌或可減癌( cancer grows / growth, a good thing (any doctor here?)。
健康的身體乃革命的本錢。

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sound of silence
