The sound of silence

新年假期后的第一天上班,明显假期后遗症,丝毫没有想工作的心情。浑浑噩噩一天,下班,做电车回家。像往常一样,去车站旁边的超市买东西。所有的动作都是惯例的进行的。但是当我踏进超市的时候,一切都改变了。因为我听到了上面的这个曲子——《The sound of silence》

人都有弱点,很多时候喜新厌旧。但是即便是这样,也总有些经典的东西,经典的时刻,经得住时间的考验,具有贯穿时空的功能,每当这些东西出现的时候,时光都会倒流。比如说那些经典的旋律。每当它响起的时候,都会让人心里一颤,任凭音符把心里很多尘封已久的部分敲开。

保罗·西蒙(Paul Simon)的这首实在太经典了。每当听到这首歌,我脑袋里都会想到一个词“天籁之音”。这首《毕业生》主题曲,不知道伴随了多少大学生的毕业之旅,赚了多少离别时候的眼泪。我第一次听到这首歌的时候,就深深的爱上了这首歌。很多年没有听到了,现在听来仍是那么让我动容。每当听到这个旋律,不管当时的心情有多浮躁,我都会安静下来静静的把它听完。

我放慢了脚步,在超市里走了一圈又一圈,慢慢的体会着这就久违了的感觉,放弃现实中一切抵抗任由曲子经过耳朵流到心里。

要不是曲子被切换到了其他的曲目,没准我能像丢了魂似的在超市里游荡到关门。其他旋律响起的时候,我恍然回到现实中,发现自己转了这么多圈,筐子里还是空的。赶紧走到每天都去的地方,拿起每天都拿的东西,交钱走人,整个过程5分钟搞定。

贴个歌词吧,喜欢的朋友休息一会,回味一下学生时代,让自己Pure5分钟。

The Sound Of Silence
Paul Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
