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...

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！

"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！ :)
