Paul Mccartney Dances tonight
我一直認為The Beatles 是最出色的流行樂團來的。對The Beatles的情義結,找個時候才說…
而對Paul Mccartney的特別情感,除了是因為我是生於他的生日外,他的年齡也剛好與我老爸一樣,老了。昨夜在MTV無意間看到他的一個訪問,關於新唱片的,說到《END OF THE END》的一曲的死亡題材,這位六十五歲的男士當然並沒有任何心情激動,但對於年幼喪失父母的他,死亡似是不是甚麼新鮮的話題。
在他的臉上,唯有帶有一點黯然,不是來自他對死去的人的掛念,而是對於已經活了六十五年頭的他的蒼老與疲憊。
看著《END OF THE END》的歌詞,Paul Mccartney的筆法,沒有老去,仍是如此簡潔秀麗,但窩心感人。正如他在訪問說的話一樣現實但觸動人心︰最傷心的,就是打開門不能再見到他們,與他們來個擁抱一樣。
緊接觀看《Dance Tonight》的MV那些穿著特別的costume的半透明角色,便覺得充滿著情感與寄託。拿著Mandoline的他在悠然彈奏,加上這間古老房子的裝飾,讓我想起【Yellow Submarine】的映像,虛幻的世界,永遠年輕的空間。
Paul Mccartney – End of the End Lyrics
At the end of the end
It’s the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn’t bad
So a much better place
Would have to be special
No need to be sad
On the day that I die I’d like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old
At the end of the end
It’s the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
On the day that I die I’d like bells to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung
At the end of the end
It’s the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end
