| 引用文章Fast Car ....心緒之歌
前言：當世界的腳步不願意為人類生活品質而慢下來時，人還在找尋那台快車嗎？為了快車，我們還要犧牲多少？ 正文起： 每天發生的事情這麼多，想寫很多不同領域，不同性質的文章。光棒球，就可以寫洋基王朝新頁的開始，或是九命怪貓的紅襪隊，或是二十命不死的科羅拉多洛磯山隊，或是繼續寫“蛻變“中的“荒山之夜“系列，亦或是倫敦半日有感，甚至是一餐晚餐的對話。無奈體力不濟，勉強擠出來的東西，更是連自己讀來都覺得不順暢。 剛好有人找出這首大學時二哥介紹我聽的歌曲，正好可以再度沈澱我的心情。 1988年，好勇鬥狠，做什麼都是拼命三郎個性，愛強出頭的我，初聽這首“怪“歌時，還覺得二哥真是一個怪胎，聽這種灰色，又沒有旋律的歌曲，到底出了什麼問題。 二哥畢業前，發生了六四天安門事件，那晚，我們兩在收音機中的槍聲中落下了眼淚。 二哥離校後，一個人看著六月五日量子物理期中的白卷，不知該如何去面對期末考，不知人生該為什麼時，在宿舍裡重複又重複地聽著這首歌。 記得當年，崔建"歷史的傷口"歌詞有一句：蒙上眼睛就以為看不見，捂上耳朵就以為聽不到。 那就是我當年的體認，原來，沒有多少人可以像我一樣，毫無後顧之憂去追求名利，追求理想。 除了天安門的那些生命，這個社會還有更可怕的階級與貧窮，然而，我們也許是故意忘了他們的存在。因為，我們根本毫無解決這些問題的能力。 試想，有多少人，終其一生，只是在找那一部能帶領他走出生命新局的快車？他們有機會去思考到底什麼樣的快車才適合？該有什麼樣計畫才能讓人坐下搭上那台快車的決定？他們能去想這台快車到底有沒有煞車？這台車到底帶他們脫離目前的困境，但會不會反而帶著我們衝下懸崖？ Tracy Chapman 輕快的歌聲中，帶來的是不停求跳脫困境的心聲。輕輕的哀愁，配上優美的歌聲，灰色似乎不再是如此灰，而是一股希望。她的歌曲中，許多都有極深的哲學意味，沒想到這幾年來，這些歌已經離我好遠了，就像當年的理想依樣。 在矽谷這麼多年，對於這個習慣找快車風氣盛行的社會風氣，已經厭煩了。 快車？真的是會提早讓人解脫嗎？ 我喜歡慢慢的去走出現狀，不管是物質生活的現狀，或是精神層面的現狀。總相信，只要抱著希望，篤定自己想走的路，一天會比一天更好的，我不斷的如此告訴自己。 只要不去蒙上眼睛，捂上耳朵，或是關閉自己的心靈。 You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we’ll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won’t have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And fin'lly see what it means to be living See my old man’s got a problem He lives with the bottle that’s the way it is He says his body’s too old for working I say his body’s too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody’s got to take care of him So I quit school and that’s what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain’t got a job And I work in the market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted We’ll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So I remember when we were driving driving in your car speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I’d always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me'd find it I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember when we were driving driving in your car speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way |
