LEONARD COHEN: In My Secret Life

　

In My Secret Life
LEONARD COHEN

In my secrete life
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.

I smile when I’m 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 I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll 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 it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.

回複蘇鄉門地的評論:

高興你喜歡。Leonard 的聲音深沉、蒼老，聽來猶如重錘擊鼓，第一次聽時心裏咯噔了一下，很震驚。有如此震撼力的嗓音不多啊。歌詞裏可能是滲透了他自己的生活經曆，據說他喜歡獨居。他還是一個多才多藝的人，小說、詩歌、音樂，樣樣都行，難怪歌詞寫的那麽有味道，那種情緒隻有有智慧的人才能在生話中體悟到並通過詩與音樂傳達出來。突然有一怪念頭，把他和另一位 Cohen（Roger Cohen）放在一起很合適。 :-)

周末愉快！

對這支歌曲並不熟悉，但知道Everybody Knows 和 hallelujah，尤其是當年Kd吟唱的後麵這首，很深刻。

匆匆聽了一段他的采訪錄，裏麵很謙虛地說感到自己的聲音disagreeable，我倒覺得正相反，LEONARD的聲音是很低沉，但是帶著磁性甚至性感，要耐心品味，越聽越令人沉醉，所以幹脆又聽了他自己唱hallelujah。 謝謝你的推薦，he is gifted, another a man of substance:))

周末愉快！
