愛情總是藝術(shù)家們靈感的富礦,因此前任們也總是在情歌中出沒的???,諸如Julio Iglesias的“To All the Girls Ive Loved Before”(《致所有我曾愛過的女孩》)、陳奕迅的《好久不見》、千百惠的《走過咖啡屋》、劉若英的《后來》。當(dāng)年英國歌手Adele演唱的“Someone like You”(《像你一樣的人》)的余溫仍在,如今她又以一曲“Hello”(《你好》)再次把前任糾葛推向了新高度。
聽“Hello”這首歌,很容易讓人想起“Someone like You”。兩首歌都屬于懷舊療傷的類型,對于失戀的人來說都是濃情難化的心靈雞湯。不同的是兩首歌存在一定的“時差”,“Someone like You”更像是寫在失戀不久,所以才有“Never mind, I will find someone like you”之類的心理暗示和自我激勵。而“Hello”則是分開數(shù)年后,經(jīng)歷過情海起伏、感情沉淀之后的靈魂救贖,所以歌曲中才有“I must have called a thousand times to tell you Im sorry for everything that Ive done”“At least I can say that I tried to tell you Im sorry for breaking your heart”之類的懺悔。然而遺憾的是,盡管這方心有千千結(jié),那端卻無一人答,那句“抱歉”只能留給自己慢慢消化。
網(wǎng)上關(guān)于兩首歌孰優(yōu)孰劣的爭執(zhí)一直如火如荼,這涉及詞、曲等諸多音樂元素之爭。但從歌詞意境來看,“Hello”更深刻一些?!癝omeone like You”所反映的心理可能適合各個年齡段。而要寫出“Hello”這樣的歌,如不經(jīng)歷過辜負與被辜負、放棄與被放棄的因果循環(huán),恐難以有如此深刻的贖罪情懷。戀愛就像成長一樣,初時懵懂,到彼時領(lǐng)悟,誰不是在愛人身上捅過刀,然后在被別人傷過之后才猛然想起前任的美好和“原來我曾那么幸福”?醉過才知酒濃,愛過方知情重。只有當(dāng)我們像前任一樣愛過和被傷過之后,才有能力向前任們表達最深沉的謝意和悔意。
如果“Someone like You”只是如泣如訴,“Hello”則充分運用了Adele的爆發(fā)力,給人以催人淚下之感。其實對于大多數(shù)分手的戀人而言,經(jīng)過數(shù)月的思量,回想起這段感情來雖有遺憾,但留下的更多的還是溫暖。所以“Hello”這首歌多少讓人感覺有些情感泛濫,讓人不得不聯(lián)想這是給前任留下了多大的傷疤,才會有如此痛徹心扉的吶喊。當(dāng)然這純屬個人看法,仁者見仁,智者見智。
“Hello”這首歌于2015年10月推出,表現(xiàn)相當(dāng)優(yōu)秀,甫一上市就橫掃各大排行榜,成為Adele繼“Someone like You”之后又一巔峰之作。這也足見天下情癡不少,共鳴甚多,無關(guān)風(fēng)月。個人以為這首歌更適合那些將分未分或剛剛分手的戀人們,聽完之后或許能立馬捐棄前嫌,言歸于好,也省了多年后再給前任打電話說hello,徒留遺憾。
Hello, its me
I was wondering if after all these years youd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that times supposed to heal you
But I aint done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
Im in California, dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger, and free
Ive forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
Theres such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello, from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you Im sorry for everything that Ive done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello, from the outside
At least I can say that Ive tried
To tell you Im sorry for breaking your heart
But it dont matter
It clearly doesnt tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
Its so typical of me to talk about myself
Im sorry. I hope that youre well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
Its no secret that the both of us are running out of time
So hello, from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you Im sorry for everything that Ive done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello, from the outside
At least I can say that Ive tried
To tell you Im sorry for breaking your heart
But it dont matter
It clearly doesnt tear you apart anymore
Hello, from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you Im sorry for everything that Ive done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello, from the outside
At least I can say that Ive tried
To tell you Im sorry for breaking your heart
But it dont matter
It clearly doesnt tear you apart anymore
