Dust In The Wind

Song: Dust In The Wind
Artist: Sarah Brightman
Source: Lanyuchongshu

I close my eyesOnly for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes in curiosity
Dust in the wind

All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
All your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Rebecca Lin 2007 Autumn In USA

林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 回复科夫的评论:

记得有一句名言是这么说的:我们不能同时踏进同一条河流。逝去的日子,无法追回。同样的日子,却是不同的记忆了。
科夫 回复 悄悄话
谁说日子一去不复返?

昨日过后有今天,睡过一觉又天明...
林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 昨天在《美语世界》论坛,听到网友滥竽冲数贴的这首歌曲《Dust In The Wind》,一下子就被这旋律和歌词给吸引了。

今天早上又去《美语世界》论坛听了几遍,忍不住就搬来了。一看到演唱者是Kansas,我还是第一次知道这个乐队,也是第一次听到这首歌曲。

看到Kansas,就想到了Kansas State. Kansas State对我来说很亲切,薄筚有亲戚在哪里,我们不时地去哪里,拜亲访友。记得不知道在那本书里读到的:如果你恋上了一个人,你也会喜欢他/她在的城市。

后来又去网上查到了Kansas乐队的介绍,他们果然是来自Kansas. Kansa tribeis often said to mean "people of the wind" or "people of the south wind".继而也让我想起了这首歌名:Dust In The Wind. 不由感慨:“艺术来源于生活,却高于生活。”

听着这歌曲,感叹着光阴易逝,Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky;All we are is dust in the wind。不由得想起朱自清的《匆匆》了。

“燕子去了,有再来的时候;杨柳枯了,有再青的时候;桃花谢了,有再开的时候。但是,聪明的,你告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?”

林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 Kansas

Kansas (IPA: /ˈkænzəs/) is a Midwestern state in the central region of the United States of America, an area often referred to as the American "Heartland". It is a state with both Midwestern and Southern cultural influences, reflecting its history as a border state. It is named after the Kansas River which flows through it, which in turn was named after the Kansa tribe, who inhabited the area.The tribe's name (natively kką:ze) is often said to mean "people of the wind" or "people of the south wind", although this was probably not the term's original meaning. Residents of Kansas are called "Kansans".

Historically, the area was home to large numbers of nomadic Native Americans that hunted bison. It was first settled by European Americans in the 1830s, but the pace of settlement accelerated in the 1850s, in the midst of political wars over the slavery issue. When officially opened to settlement by the U.S. government in 1854, abolitionist Free-Staters from New England and pro-slavery settlers from neighboring Missouri rushed to the territory to determine if Kansas would become a free state or a slave state. Thus, the area was a hotbed of violence and chaos in its early days as these forces collided, and was known as Bleeding Kansas. The abolitionists eventually prevailed and on January 29, 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state. After the Civil War, the population of Kansas exploded when waves of immigrants turned the prairie into productive farmland. Today, Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing many crops, and leading the nation in wheat and sunflower production most years.
