Bird on the Wire
Leonard Cohen 超慢板的[Bird on the Wire]，据说其灵感来自窗外突然架起的电线，Cohen原本嫌它阻断视野，甚为不爽，但某日意外瞥见停在电线上鸟儿自在的神态，心胸豁然开朗，遂成此曲：“像电线上的小鸟，像午夜唱诗班里的醉鬼，我试图以自己的方式获得自由”。
[Bird on the Wire]曾先后被不同的歌手翻唱过，其中最有名的自然是Jennifer Warnes，在[Famous Blue Raincoat]专辑中优美的唱腔为普及COHEN做出了巨大贡献。Sandy Denny (FAIRPORT CONVENTION) 的版本却是我最喜欢的，甚至超过了COHEN的原唱；Sandy那来自七十年代的声音让人满心欢喜，又充满忧伤。

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm (fish) on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue, I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, still born, like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free.

小风和我也很喜欢他的歌。
受你启发，小风已经把自己手头上他的CD(大概8张)都转成mp3上传了，见这里：http://www.5945.net/newbbs/forum.php?bbsid=6&part=2

喜欢你的BLOG，喜欢你的文字。很偶然，我在成都生活过5年——我的初中以及高中时光。现在的我马上要到北京读书，也要告别生活了5年之久的成都，真的，很有些舍不得。
没关系，以后有空到酒馆坐坐，也许那会勾起我的一些记忆，体会一种家的感觉，这是一种幸福。
最近成都的打口碟Radiohead的似乎少了很多，只有到北京瞧瞧了。
有空去我的BLOG坐坐。新开了一个纯文字BLOG——芒草的回忆yorkliuzq.impdb.com。
望君光临陋舍，鄙人将倒履迎之。
