Sister

Sister是Dave Matthews Band最安靜的一首歌。
1994年，Dave的姐姐Anne在南非死於家庭暴力，她的丈夫殺了她，然後自殺。
這首歌讓人不能不聯想到這對任何人來說都會是無法承受的巨大的創傷。這首歌哀傷，無奈，但是純淨，透明，這聲音總讓我想到春天的夜晚，麵對滿天繁星。

我們不止一次地聽到或者看到從悲慟的記憶中幻化出的美麗的音樂，文字或者藝術作品，那裏麵沒有憤怒，沒有仇恨，而是以藝術的方式敘述，紀念那失去的，更是紀念曾經擁有的。拂去記憶中傷痛的塵埃，透過那水晶一般簡單純淨的心，看到自己，看到過去。Sister, 這首歌給你。


Pass the time with you in mind
It's another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Counting stars against the black

Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me

Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, Sister, keep me

I hope you always knows it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go dark
Just by walking away

Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without

i am in tears....in everyday life we never say sentimental words, we laugh it out ...but when someone understands, you feel it, and simply become speechless...
you understand because you had the same pain.
