"I've never been to me"

haozi33(haozi)

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
the things you'll never do
But,
I wish someone had talked to me
like I wanna talk to you.....


Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
and, anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places
and friendly faces
because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...


Please lady, please, lady
don't just walk away
'cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart
that has lived million lies.......


Ooh I've been to Niec and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things
that a woman ain't supposed to see.......
I've been to paradise,
but I've never been to me.......


Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you're going to make love with tonight
that's truth, that's love.........


Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I.....I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free....
hey lady......
I've been to paradise......
but I've never been to me..........

        本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛30多年前， 一个热爱唱歌的美国女孩子，得到了她的第一张唱片合约， 唱片录制后
        却默默无闻，甚至，公司把她的单曲重新包装录制时，连歌曲中间的一段独
        白都漏掉了。
        唱片再度覆灭， 唱片公司终于决定与她解约，而爱唱歌的女孩也在落寞之中远赴英
        国，在一个小镇当起了女店员。

        命里有时终须有,几年以后,1982年，一位DJ偶然心血来潮，播放了这个女孩曾经录
        制的单曲,没想到引起了听众热烈的反应，唱片公司也赶紧顺势重新推出这首歌的单
        曲，并特别重新剪辑，把原先「失落」的独白部分放回去，结果一炮而红，拿到全
        美第三名，在英国更勇夺冠军。

        这个爱唱歌的女孩叫Charlene， 那首感动了无数听众，至今仍在流传的歌曲叫「I’
        ve Never Been to Me」。

        这是一首柔美致极的歌曲, 在动人的旋律下，表达着相当发人深省的内容。歌曲描
        述一个历尽沧桑的女人，看见另外一个已婚妇女在悲叹自己的命运，忍不住提出了
        一些忠告。她也有过放浪形骸的过往，曾经走遍整个世界，凭著自己的青春美貌，
        享受著几乎有如天堂一般的快乐时光，王公贵族、甚至神职人员，都曾经是她的
        「入幕之宾」，但是到头来，她却只落得一场空，不但走投无路，连个肯友善相待
        的人都没有。天堂是什么？那只是人们用来欺骗自己的幻想。好好珍惜自己拥有的
        吧，怀抱中的宝宝，还有那个虽然有时会吵架、但真心爱她的男人，才是真正珍贵
        的，那才是爱。或许她到过天堂，但是她从未找到过自我，请不要重蹈她的覆辙。


        平淡是真，平凡是福---多年之后，一个冰冷的雪夜， 我躺在温暖的家里， 一遍又
        一遍地听着这首歌， 感觉一个简单而珍贵的道理。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      • 蓝的吧? 否则不会有这感慨. 呵呵 -haozi33(superlazy); 2007-1-20 {79} (#3444341@0)
        那些女子只不过没有找到真正值得爱的男子, 所以男人们要反思一下自己追求的动机. : )
        • 是是,应该反思.我的蓝的.你是绿的.动机一定要端正. -nowa(Nowa); 2007-1-20 (#3444474@0)
