Leonard cohen
他,比the Beatles、the Rolling Stones们年长10多岁,比Bob Dylan大7岁,比猫王还要早1年出生。到今年,这个在上世纪60年代美国民谣浪潮中脱颖而出的传奇人物,就已经整整71岁了。
第一达听到Leonard cohen的声音是在一个晚上,我第一次看Nature Born Killers《天生杀人狂》,男女主角开车奔驰在666高速公路上,他们肆意而且张狂,而耳边却是Leonard cohen的冷静、低述的声音。他苍老缓和的声音只是象温暖的刀子,他们是驶向世界尽头吗?或者cohen你要告诉我们什么呢?世界只是这样,欢乐的背后其实只是悲伤与绝望?

In My Secret Life.
In My Secret Life.
In My Secret Life.
In My Secret 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.
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.
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.
In My Secret Life
