下午HBO播了一部有關一個70年代老搖滾樂團捲土重來的電影。

其中,一位吉他手的聲音,帶點沙啞,有點磁性的聲音,我喜歡這樣的男人聲音,尤其伴著吉他清澈的音樂。

這位吉他手的聲音,也讓我想起Bob Dylan,沙啞而隨性的吟唱,伴上吉他,總有說不盡的滄桑。

當Bob Dylan唱「Knocking on the Heaven’s Door」的時候,每一個無奈的句子,都敲進人心,不是故做悲情,矯揉做作的擠出情感,而是沙啞的,若無其事的唱著,卻在聲音裡,蘊含了極大的情感與無奈。

Bob Dylan的歌曲中,我最喜歡的是「Forever Young」。Joan Baze唱過,但是我嫌Joan Baze的聲音太過圓潤了,缺少了回顧來時路的感嘆。我還是喜歡Bob Dylan用他的沙啞來詮釋這首歌,一個歷經世故的人,對世界的期許,對周遭人的期許,對自己的期許。因為經歷過,才能寫下這些字句,也因為那樣的聲音,才使得這些字句,不會有做作的感覺。

在這個年代,好像沒有人在談Bob Dylan了?這下子透露出我的年紀了?哈!

FOREVER YOUNGFOREVER YOUNG

Words and Music by Bob Dylan
1973,1985 Ram's Horn Music

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
May you stay forever young.
