聽了一年多Seal(Ref.1)的這首Love’s Divine(Ref.2),每次都被歌詞打動,但有一點疑惑, 一直不知道為什麼歌曲開始時有”Bomb”的一聲,直到上個禮拜,突然想到去yotube找MV來看看,才知道是雷雨聲,劇情更是雞皮疙瘩地讓人熱淚盈框.

另一點,我覺得更是無以言喻,前面1分半鐘的鋪陳,到受刑人出獄後和小女兒擁抱,認真看的人,應該是已經情緒快滿了,接著鏡頭close up SEAL的臉部,他那重重地吐一口氣(Ref.3),也是你當下的生理反應,讓人有想再馬上吸回下一口氧氣的急迫.

Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name.
我為這句,一直把這首歌灌到腦子裏,看到MV裏最前面那位東方女子在墓碑前喃喃自語的畫面,我想就這句可體會她的心情吧!

Well I try to say there's nothing wrong..
But inside I felt me lying all along.
But the message here was plain to see.
道出我們有時死都不願承認的弱點及缺陷,可事實擺在眼前,只差願不願意求助,自己找回”愛”或許簡單點,找回給他人的”愛”,就難了!Love is divine, isn’t it? No doubt! 不分生老病死,階級,貴賤,種族


若是人們聽得到上帝的聲音,我認為Seal是最接近的,他絕對不只是天使,那一點點沙啞的背後有股要拍你肩膀的撫慰,很祥和!

Ref.1 1963年2月19日出生的席爾是巴西與奈及利亞的混血兒不過成長於倫敦.我認識他的歌就是那，"Kiss From A Rose"被【蝙蝠俠第3集】(Batman Forever）電影原聲帶收錄.再提一點,有在看旅遊頻道的"決戰時裝伸展台"嗎?裏面的德籍美女model主持人Heidi Klum就是他老婆!
Ref.2 2003年推出第四張專輯「Seal IV」，隨後出現一首單曲"Love’s Divine".
Ref.3 倒數第3分鐘,也就是在MV下出現的分鐘數.


Lyrics- Love's Divine by SEAL
Then the rainstorm came, over me

And I felt my spirit break

I had lost all of my, belief you see

And realized my mistake

But time through a prayer, to me

And all around me became still

I need love, love's divine

Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind

Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary

And I felt my spirit fly

I had found all of my reality

I realize what it takes

'Cause I need love, love's divine

Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind

Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bet (don't bend), don't break (don't break)

Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake

'Cause love can help me know my name

Well I try to say there's nothing wrong

But inside I felt me lying all along

But the message here was plain to see

Believe me

'Cause I need love, love's divine

Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind

Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bet (don't bend), don't break (don't break)

Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake

'Cause love can help me know my name

Love can help me know my name
