這是我一個人開車時最愛聽的一首歌,常常忘情地跟著唱。好多過去的畫面都好像身邊飛過的行道樹,一段一段的湧過。
I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you've never met anyone whose
As negative as I am sometimes
I am the wisest women you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone whose
As positive as I am sometimes.
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you’ve never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here
What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go
I'm the funniest woman you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman you've ever known.
I'm the most gorgeous woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
And you're still here
And you're still here...
第一次知道Alanis Morissette 這個歌手是在高中的時候,聽到小碎藥丸「Jagged little pill」這張專輯,對於她有如一現代詩的詞曲感到印象深刻,而其中又以 “you ought know”一首歌最驚為天人。歌詞描述的就是一個女人對男人劈腿的憤怒。當中甚至說出了 “Is she perverted like me” , “ Would she go down on you in a theatre” 和“Are you thinking of me when you fuck her” 等大膽又赤裸裸的言論。即使現代對「劈腿」和「一夜情」等議題相對討論開放的時候,我仍深深覺得Alanis Morissette坦率地說出了在愛情中,性與背叛的關係。對於當時叛逆和憤怒的青少年來說,這實在太刺激了。
我從那時起開始愛上她的誠實。
但是叛逆少女也會慢慢的長大。也慢慢遠離憤怒嘶吼的搖滾樂,直到出國前才又偶然地在聽到Alanis Morissette的新專輯。這首 “Everthing”讓我聽來有說不出的溫馨和感動。從歌詞我知道,這個女人經歷了滄海桑田,慢慢成熟了,溫暖了。雖然歌詞中,沒有像一般情歌裡 “I love you” “ you love me” 的愛來愛去肉麻字眼,甚至可以說找不到任何一個愛字,但我知道,很開心的知道,她深深,深深地被愛著。
我很幸運的有你在我的身旁,原諒我的任性,我的懦弱,我的悲觀和我所有不該被原諒的錯誤… 你看過了我人生中的高高低低,我所有不爭氣的樣子…and you still here。
因為你,我開始對自己有信心,開始相信這世界上有unconditional love。
謝謝你!
