每一晚都會為大家送上一首歌,作為一日嘅結束。希望大家會喜歡分享嘅歌,會係歌入面搵到共鳴。
很早以前就想寫一寫這首歌,卻一直未找到合適的時機,大概是連我自己都不懂:這樣淺顯簡單又不包含任何情緒的歌詞為何藏著這樣濃重的哀傷?
其實到現在都不敢說是完全明白了其中的奧妙。但冥冥之中有一種感覺,這種悲傷來源於歌手Lana Del Rey厭世而慵懶的嗓音,來源於莊嚴而沉重的配樂,再加上MV中演奏者誇張而呆板的動作,詭異的燈光,還有來自電影《Great Gatsby》中荒誕的狂歡背後埋藏的虛偽、虛榮、冷漠。
整首歌幾乎都在不停詢問: "will you still love me when I am no longer young and beautiful?" 但其實又何須一問。
答案當然是: "NO."
Young And Beautiful
Lana Del Rey
I've seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant
And Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Dear lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him in
Father tell me if you can
Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?
