Let her cry for she's a lady ...

今天读到的故事，和你分享吧。

1970年的一天，加拿大的一个警察去接他正热恋中的护士女朋友，到了她的住所，她正泪眼婆娑，情绪糟糕透了。她说，今天工作的时候，她照顾的两个老人去世了，她很伤心，因为他们已经互相熟悉成为朋友。女孩尽情的诉说着，警察则静静地听着。女孩终于平静下来了，她很感谢这男孩肯聆听她的倾诉。她让他稍等片刻，她换好衣服会和他继续约会。女孩进屋里换衣服，男孩儿等了很久，不见她出来。他推门进去的时候，发现她已经靠在床上睡着了。她大概是哭得太疲倦了。他轻轻地为她盖上毛毯，就回家了。然后他灵感爆发，用十五分钟的时间为她写了一首歌 - wildflower.

WILDFLOWER

She’s faced the hardest times
you can imagine
and many times her eyes
fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and the song that no one hears
still rings in midnight silence
in her ears

Let her cry
for she’s a lady
let her dream
for she’s a child
let the rain fall down upon her
she’s a free and gentle flower
growing wild

And if by chance that I
should hold her
let me hold her
for a time
and if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden
to be mine

Be careful how you touch her
for she’ll awaken
for sleep’s the only freedom
that she knows
and when you look into her eyes
you won’t believe
the way she’s always payin’
for a debt she never owes
and the silent wind still blows
that only she can hear
and so she goes

写这歌的警察叫Dave Richardson。他把这首歌词给了做乐队的朋友，后来大名鼎鼎的David Foster。乐队的吉他手Doug Edwards 为它谱了曲。这首歌后来成了skylark, 这个昙花一现的加拿大乐队的最知名歌曲。据说这是加拿大流行音乐中被演绎最多的一首歌。后来有无数翻唱的版本。人们在格莱梅的颁奖礼上听到它，在慈善活动中听到它，在奥运会的纪念唱片中也有它。无数人在生命中的特定时刻会邂逅这首歌，然后被她深深感动。

在2004年的采访中，词作者，当年的那个警察说起，他那年写歌的时候，仿佛不是自己在写，而是上帝在写。后来有很多人写信感谢他，写了这样一首歌，改变了他们的生活。其中有一个女孩子，在她十七，八岁的时候，曾经不堪重负，想要结束自己的生命。她把她的随身物品，收音机放到沙滩上，然后走到海里，希望海水淹没她，当海水到她的肩膀的时候，她生平第一次从身后的收音机里听到这首歌 "She’s faced the hardest times..." 她呆在水里听完了整首歌，然后回头走回了岸边。后来她长大，结婚，有了自己的孩子，还时时感激这首歌救了她一命。

今天一天都被这些故事感动着，温暖着。很幸运我没有和它们错失。于是写下来，走过路过不要错过咯。

之所以能够邂逅，是源于林忆莲的野花。这歌一直是我的all time favorite。很惭愧的是，一直没有完整听过同名专辑。最近总是读到说那是华语乐坛最好的专辑之一。好奇找来听。开篇即是温柔而舒缓的和声“Let her cry for she’s a lady, let her dream for she’s a child...”，恍若神来之笔。感叹着怎么会有这么看似平常，却感人肺腑的句子。于是考古，翻出了上面那些故事。

找到当年的录音，遥远的70年代，喇叭裤，长发，吉它，朴素的唱腔。你可曾怀念那未曾经历过的纯真年代？http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyKXW3ioY1Q
