10cc 的一首歌：i am not in love

最近聽spotify，無意中聽到一首耳熟的歌不知以前在那裏聽過，這幾天 這首 stuck in my head , 餘音繞梁，越聽越喜歡，被一種神秘力量吸過去了，歌裏彌漫著一種淡然，憂傷而懷舊的情緒， soulful, hyponitizing ,  hauntingly beautiful ，是love songs 裏精品之作， 好奇去查了一下是英國的band 10cc，吃驚的是這竟然是75年的歌，wow，那麽久以前的，當時音樂合成非常low tech，效果卻如此打動人心，youtube也查到了，寫歌的是eric steward 原來是一位當年很酷的帥哥呢，of course歌手現在年紀大了，時間摧枯拉朽，青春短暫，誰讓我們都stuck在三維空間呢，歎！

轉眼之間疫情快兩年了，想想有多少受到身心傷害的年輕人，讓人感傷。

不過這周六感到那份春意盎然，球場上大家冬眠的身體也漸漸複蘇清醒了。。。開心

兩年wfh在家工作，有些懷念以前上班時間聽音樂的體驗，上下班的旅程其實在腦中自動演繹電影的entertainment 少了許多，時間都讓工作占據了。。。

 

人為什麽迷戀音樂？或許現實世界的殘酷，對痛苦敏感的人在音樂裏體驗精神世界的烏托邦, 尋找一種似曾相識或溫暖共情的感受，學著與自己，與周圍的世界和解，音樂療愈，也許隻是臨時的麻醉劑

 

Lyrics

 

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love, no, no
It's because

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love, no, no
It's because

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

I'm not in love, no, no
It's because

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love
I'm not in love
