田园般的宁静shine dion-《the well》
Right in the village there\’s a little well
and the grass hides it,
grenn grass in sap closely thatching it
I heard of it from an old woman
but she siad:“The path is overgrown with bracken
where Ioften walked with my cogin,
and the cogin itself is warped.“
when I looked in her lined face
I saw the bracken growing round the well of her eyes,
and hiding it from seeking and from desires,
and closing it,closing it.
“Nobody goes to that well now,“
said the old woman,“as we once went,
when we were young,
though its water is lovely and white.“
And when I looked in her eyes through the bracken
I saw the sparkle of that water
That makes whole every hurt
till the hurt of herat.
“And will you go there for me,“
said the old woman,“even with a thimble,
and bring me a drop of that hard water
that will bring colour to my cheeks.“
I found the well at last,
and through her need was not the greatset
It was to her i brought the treasure
It may be that the well
is something I saw in a dream
for today when I went to seek it
I found only bracken and rushes,
and the old woman\’s eyes are closed
and a film has come over their merriment
来自瑞典的Sophie Zelmani，14岁拥有了自己第一把吉他，并于1996年凭着95年底发行的首张专辑「ophie Zelmani」夺得了Chart No.1。Sophie Zelmani的音乐之所以能像她的人一样，情感纤细、纯净亲切而动人，那是因为她的歌直接纪录了她的成长心路历程。从收录「Always You」、A Thousand Times」等单曲，甜美羞涩的首张同名专辑，到走红之后面对漫长的巡回演出与数不尽的访谈而感到痛苦，继而使其创作呈现出苦涩与深沉黑暗气氛的第二张专辑「Precious Burden」，再到即将迎向曙光、向伤感告别的第三张专辑「Time To Kill」，以及如今的最新作品「Sing And Dance」彷佛用音乐来回忆着过去那个在情感或生理上正要愈合，然而一旦触碰到还是会带来疼痛的伤口。Sophie Zelmani就像个挚友般分享着她的情感与心情变化，唯一不变的是她的音乐表现方式，依然是清脆的吉他合弦衬托着她温暖甜美的歌声，恰如其分不喧宾夺主的鼓与贝斯，陪衬上彷如远方传来的萨克司风及逐渐贴近的长笛或小提琴悠扬旋律，传递出彷佛在冷飕飕的秋天夜晚漫步走在瑞典已然结霜的路上，脚底还不时传出嗄吱细碎声响，那沁凉萧瑟绝美的意境，让人愈听愈沉醉其中难以自拨。
Sophie Zelmani轻轻吟唱《Oh Dear》
Don't you ever go out
When was the last time you were out
Have you ever been out
Oh dear
Is something wrong with the air
Since you can't breathe in here
How long have you held your breath
Oh dear
What is closing you in
Must be a giant dream
It's not your life we have seen
Oh dear
Don't let your choices be
hopes you still can't feel
All was given for free
My dear
