這是一首我很喜歡的歌
歌詞中充滿了愛跟希望
雖然年代很久遠,但是每次聽起來都還是很美
John Lennon - Starting Over
Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown - we have grown,
Although our love is still special,
Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone,
It's been so long since we took the time,
No-one's to blame,
I know time flies so quikly,
But when I see you darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Everyday we used to make it love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy,
It's time to spread our wing's and fly,
Don't let another day go by my love,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Why don't we take off alone,
Take a trip far, far away,
We'll be together on our own again,
Like we used to in the early days,
Well, well, well darling,
It's been so long since we took the time,
No-one's to blame,
I know time flies so quikly,
But when I see you darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Everyday we used to make it love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy,
It's time to spread our wing's and fly,
Don't let another day go by my love,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown - we have grown,
Although our love is still special,
Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone.
1980年10月,John Lennon退隱歌壇五年之後決定復出
他選擇了這首頗具意義的歌"Starting Over"作為復出第一首單曲
這首歌很快就在排行榜獲得很好的成績
然而,悲劇性的發展卻是在這首單曲推出6個星期之後
John Lennon在自家門口遭到一位精神失常的歌迷射殺身亡
而這首歌再3周之後同時登上英、美排行榜冠軍
然而,這份榮耀或是喜悅John Lennon再也感受不到
對於聽到這首歌的人,留下的也是無盡的感嘆及哀傷
相對於歌名"Starting Over",真是極大的諷刺
而歌詞中說到"Why don't we take off alone? Take a trip somewhere far, far away..."
確實地,他一個人啟程到了另一個很遠的地方
雖然是如此心碎的故事,我還是很喜歡這首歌
因為當John Lennon寫下這首歌的時候
是帶著滿滿的愛以及對未來美好的希望
我想要好好品味這歌詞,帶著希望
珍惜愛我的,以及我愛的
