www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOcTV33HKro http://www.dingtv.com/v/view_video.php?viewkey=ab5829eb26461055fbee&page=147&viewtype= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ATL75Bj8yk Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

大家注意过这首歌背后的故事吗? 这是女歌手Lori Lieberman为另一个歌手Don McLean写的,准确地说,是这个女孩子让一个歌曲作者为她写了这首歌,关于Don McLean 这样再来听,是否感觉会有些不一样呢? 我每次听都很感动 Don McLean是美国的民谣歌曲作者和歌手,著名的作品有Vincent, American Pie 他的歌词写得很美很富于哲理,跟诗一样 | |

See more Don McLean为纪念荷兰画家凡高而作 http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=dipFMJckZOM Starry starry night paint your palette blue and grey look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now. Starry starry night flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. Colors changing hue morning fields of amber grain weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. And now I understand what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. perhaps they'll listen now. For they could not love you but still your love was true and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night. You took your life as lovers often do; But I could have told you Vincent this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the stranger that you've met the ragged men in ragged clothes the silver thorn of bloddy rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. And now I think I know what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they're not list'ning still perhaps they never will. ▲ Collapse | | | ShelleyX Australia Local time: 13:36 English to Chinese + ... American Pie | Nov 21, 2008 |

I can still remember How that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they�d be happy for a while. But february made me shiver With every paper I�d deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn�t take one more step. I can�t remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me deep inside The day the music died. So bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock �n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you�re in love with him `cause I saw you dancin� in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues. I was a lonely teenage broncin� buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died. I started singin�, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." Now for ten years we�ve been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin� stone, But that�s not how it used to be. When the jester sang for the king and queen, In a coat he borrowed from james dean And a voice that came from you and me, Oh, and while the king was looking down, The jester stole his thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lennon read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died. We were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." Helter skelter in a summer swelter. The birds flew off with a fallout shelter, Eight miles high and falling fast. It landed foul on the grass. The players tried for a forward pass, With the jester on the sidelines in a cast. Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance, Oh, but we never got the chance! `cause the players tried to take the field; The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." Oh, and there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! Jack flash sat on a candlestick Cause fire is the devil�s only friend. Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage. No angel born in hell Could break that satan�s spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite, I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news, But she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store Where I�d heard the music years before, But the man there said the music wouldn�t play. And in the streets: the children screamed, The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died. And they were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die." They were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die." ▲ Collapse | | | wherestip United States Local time: 22:36 Chinese to English + ... A few links about "American Pie" | Nov 21, 2008 |
http://understandingamericanpie.com/ from the above link: In identifying its frequently overlooked theme of America’s lost innocence, the meaning of American Pie becomes more evident, as its cast of characters are better placed in their historical and cultural context. Still, portions of the song remain cryptic, and as the songwriter readily admits, deliberately so: like any good poem, keeping the language suspended imparts a dreamlike quality to it, allowing the lyrics to resonate deeper in the listener than a more literal approach would. But it is also this ambiguity that has generated so much debate, and that has kept American Pie on the pop culture map these many years.
