也許靈魂知道,此岸與彼岸之間的距離,只有密西西比河那麼寬;也許心知道,泅渡這段距離,只需要一次心跳的時間。在那個春意闌珊的夜晚,在那個酒後的密西西比河畔,當一個優雅的的弧線撕裂光滑如翼的月色,水花開始輕盈地飛翔, Jeff Buckley便在河水清涼的懷抱中,溫柔入睡。除了上帝,沒有人知道,流星劃破天際的一瞬,他是痛苦著,還是幸福著。
Jeff Buckley出生於美麗的加州橘郡,然而明媚的陽光似乎從沒照亮過他陰霾的心靈。Tim Buckley,他那死於吸毒的28歲的父親,一直是徘徊在他生命中的幽靈。他不願藉助父親的盛名來成就自己的事業,更不願在別人的關注下成為父親的翻版。雖然生在加州,在好萊塢發展過,但他始終找不到自己的位置,他倒更希望漂泊在紐約的Lower East Side,因為在那裡他才能感覺到自由的存在。
I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don」t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Baby I」ve been here before
I」ve seen this room and I」ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I」ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It」s a cold and it」s a broken Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What」s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Well, maybe there」s a God above
But all I」ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It」s not a cry that you hear at night
It」s not somebody who」s seen the light
It」s a cold and it」s a broken Hallelujah
