這首歌不拿出來好好分享,實在不應該!
收錄在Sex and The City OST裏的The Heart of The Matter,版本是由India Arie演唱;原唱是Eagles的Don Henley,有興趣請上youtube, Don Henley在演唱前時說了一小段話,他說這首歌是他和幾個好友寫了好多年才完成的, 40 years to write ,4 minutes to sing. 說地真好.

不知道一首歌讓人喜歡與否,是因旋律?還是歌詞?”蛋生雞,雞生蛋”的音樂版!
昨天朋友說正常的時候由旋律決定,失戀的時候由歌詞決定,這論調有趣!

這首歌對於我是vocal-節奏-歌詞 這順序,這歌詞真是太好了,和昨天瑜伽課的心靈療癒話題很契合.

當自尊被傷害,憤怒扼殺溫柔,思緒飛散,找不到問題癥結點;
知道的越多,了解的越少,所有自以為知道的事,現在重新學做人再來一遍…

All the people in your life who’ve come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, it’ll eat you up inside.

I’ve been trin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m think’ about forgiveness



完整歌詞
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I want a happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore
