[Intro]
As I lay me down to sleep
I hear her speak to me
[Verse 1]Hello ‘Mari, how ya doin’?
I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin’
I know you’re happy, cause I can see it
So tell the voice inside ya’ head to believe it
I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel
And look at all that he gave you
You asked for one and you got two
You know I never left you
Cause every road that leads to heaven’s right inside you
So I can say
[Hook 1]
Hello my only one, just like the morning sun
You’ll keep on rising till the sky knows your name
Hello my only one, remember who you are
No you’re not perfect but you’re not your mistakes
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh the good outweighs the bad even on your worst day
Remember how I’d say
Hey hey one day you’ll be the man you always knew you could be
And if you knew how proud I was
You’d never shed a tear, have a fear, no you wouldn’t do that
And though I didn’t pick the day to turn the page
I know it’s not the end every time I see her face, and I hear you say
[Hook 2]
Hello my only one, remember who you are
You got the world cause you got love in your hands
And you’re still my chosen one
So can you understand? One day you’ll understand
[Bridge]
So hear me out, hear me out
I won’t go, I won’t go
No goodbyes, no goodbyes
Just hello, just hello
And when you cry, I will cry
And when you smile, I will smile
And next time when I look in your eyes
We’ll have wings and we’ll fly
[Hook 3]
Hello my only one, just like the morning sun
You’ll keep on rising till the sky knows your name
And you’re still my chosen one, remember who you are
No you’re not perfect but you’re not your mistakes
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori ab-
I just want you to do me a favor
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me…
今天第一次在iTunes买歌,买了侃爷的新单曲。纪念他八年前去世的母亲的歌。歌词简单透着kanye的风格,让我听着心酸。正是“子欲养而亲不待”的哀伤,带着对现实的赞美和对未来的期望。
想起前段时间看的Jersey Boys里Frankie Valli为了赚钱养家而四处巡回演唱,回到家却面对着滥用药物的妻子和叛逆的女儿。最后离婚,女儿意外去世。
又想起被我妈养得过肥的多多,那天我说应该减肥,否则对健康不好。我妈护着多多,却说“想吃就吃,狗生多少年?想啥未来。”
也许这才是更好的方式?carpe diem及时享乐,而不要碌碌地在意着未来,否则现在成为过去,已经来不及了。
美国人和中国人的消费方式曾大相径庭,中国人都是debit,美国人都是credit,中国人爱存钱以后花,美国人爱花了以后还。
这值得我深思,尤其在2015正式开始工作领工资的时候,如何找到平衡,也许可以让自己和家人过得更好。
