Thunder Road

這一陣子低潮時,反覆拿出來聽的是Bruce Springsteen在1975年的Thunder Road。是的,這已經是一首老歌。
重新發掘出這首歌,是因為看了Nick Honby的三十一首歌。他說,這首歌是他最常聽的歌,大概有一千五百次吧。
於是,我拿出這張很久沒聽的專輯Born To Run(這張專輯的封面超棒,這可能也是Springsteen最好的一張專輯。),開始無法自拔地愛上他。

看歌詞,這是一首勵志歌曲。
但是他對低潮的我的撫平作用,甚至不是來自歌詞,而單純是音樂。就是旋律與節奏。


歌詞中,我最喜歡的一句是
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
但是
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me


放給大家聽聽。
這個版本是去年正式發行DVD和CD的1975年演唱會版。仍然年輕的Springsteen。畫面不太清楚,聽歌就好。


Ps.honeypie曾做了一各ppt談這首歌的流變,網路上很容易找到。




The screen door slams
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now ?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win

無聊亂晃晃到這兒的
這首歌真的很好聽
原本有點情緒上的小低潮
聽完這首歌
感覺真的好很多了
