Life for rent

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

楚天碧霭 回复 悄悄话 很高兴你也喜欢Dido,好像应该握个手。:)
她这个专辑里的歌好听的不少。
因为淡然,所以沉静中附着的忧伤不做作,反而让人有共鸣。
周末快乐!
雪灯 回复 悄悄话 "Life for rent" ,把“整个生命都出租出去”,不属于任何人,无根地飘荡,听起来有一些伤感。后来从网上档了整张唱片。听了,发觉它自始至终都被一股淡淡的哀伤所笼罩。据Dido自己说:“这些歌曲表达了我对现在生活的感受以及将来如何生活。它讲述了要勇于接受机会的挑战并学着去充实的生活。人们很容易自我满足或者轻易地从这个世界离开,这张专辑将永远提醒我不要那样做。” 我看为了写这些歌曲,Dido一定注入了很多对人生感悟,比如这句 “But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy,Well I deserve nothing more than I get,'Cos nothing I have is truly mine”,听到这样的词句似乎让人不由地共鸣般的感伤。歌曲中所传达出来的那种沉静、恬淡,略带些忧伤的味道,展示着她的执著与坚强;加上Dido舒缓的吟唱,给人一种仿佛天籁般的享受。一个人静静的聆听,特别有味道。

非常喜欢,谢谢共享! :)
