"給遙遠星球的我們"，寫得真好... 當我看到這次"聽音樂趴"的標題時，腦海中立刻浮現這段旋律，這是兩年前小毛音樂廚房播出的第一首歌...
今天推薦 Simon and Garfunkel：The Sound of Silence (1964/2009)
...
沉默之聲來自一顆遙遠星球，清澈的合聲有如一支透明的箭，劃過天際又刺穿人心，熱情如火又冷眼旁觀... 半世紀前的先知預言，就這麼閃亮，發光、墜落、消失...

上禮拜去了書店，買了三本書，吃了兩份手工餅乾，說了一些話，就這麼決定了"檔期"...
這是我期待的畫面：坐在中正路旁的人行道上彈吉他，若有似無替這個城市伴奏，小花園的牆上投射出無聲影像，樹下草坪席地而坐，前後人車夾擊，旁邊還有一台可愛的手工餅乾推車... 人來人往，秋風彿面...
Hello darkness, my old friend, 黑夜，我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again, 我又來此與你說說話
Because a vision softly creeping, 因為有個影像正緩緩移動
Left its seeds while I was sleeping, 趁我熟睡時偷偷留下種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain 在我腦中發芽成長
Still remains 迄今
Within the sound of silence. 來自那沉默之聲
In restless dreams I walked alone 在無盡的夢中我獨自前行
Narrow streets of cobblestone, 窄窄的石版小路
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, 在那光榮的街燈下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 我的衣領又濕又冷
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 閃爍霓虹燈刺著我的眼睛
That split the night 撕裂了夜晚
And touched the sound of silence. 觸動那沉默之聲
And in the naked light I saw 在裸露的燈光下
Ten thousand people, maybe more. 我看到成千上萬人們
People talking without speaking, 他們張著嘴，但並不在說話
People hearing without listening, 張開耳，但並沒有聽到任何東西
People writing songs that voices never share 人們總在寫歌，但歌聲並沒有留傳出去
And no one deared 因為沒有人敢
Disturb the sound of silence. 去擾動那沉默之聲
'Fools' said I,'You do not know 我說："你這無知的笨蛋"
Silence like a cancer grows. 沉默有如癌症般迅速蔓延
Hear my words that I might teach you, 聽我說，因為我正在教你
Take my arms that I might reach you.' 接受我，因為我正在找你
But my words like silent raindrops fell, 但我的話有如沉默的雨滴，落下
And echoed 迴盪著
In the wells of silence 在那沉默的井裡
And the people bowed and prayed 人們忙著膜拜禱告
To the neon god they made. 對著都市中的霓虹燈上帝
And the sign flashed out its warning, 它閃爍出某種警語
In the words that it was forming. 警語背後的意義逐字形成
And the signs said, The words of the prophets 吐露出先知的預言
are written on the subway walls 正被刻在地鐵的牆上
And tenement halls. 散落在廉價公寓的大廳中
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence. 輕訴著沉默之聲
