披头士乐队四位主要成员之一的乔治-哈里森,酝酿作曲填词不得。到父母家闲谈,突发奇想,说填词没灵感,索性翻书,看到什么写什么。随手一翻,挑出两个字:哭泣(weep),温柔(gentle)。"while my guitar gently weeps"(我的吉他轻声哭泣),一首传世名歌诞生。难怪Steve Jobs口头禅:connect the dots。
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold you love I don't know how someone controlled you they bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps
