回复:valder fields(图)
听了N遍。为什么那么多遍?有一部分歌词没听清, 于是上网查,发现有不同版本的歌词,后半部分的意思居然很不一样,于是使劲听,,, 似乎不同的版本的歌词,都似对又似不对,完全晕倒! 你听听,后半部分到底唱的是啥。
结果又找到似乎是作者的一段文字,更加晕倒!
实事求是地说,图是很不错的,应该好过音乐 。音乐的调调有点软软的味道,昏昏欲睡了呢

Valder Fields Lyrics
Thanks to everyone who has sent messages etc for your interest in the song Valder Fields and its lyrics. I received a friend request last week from someone whose profile was called "Valder Fields"- so I felt obliged to offer some explanation of the song....
Please feel free to add any thoughts, comments or questions and I will do my best to answer whatever questions you pose about the song (or other songs).
As a quick disclaimer, with all lyric writing there is a conscious level and a subconscious level. I don't say that in a pretentious way but simply to say that when you write a melody, the things that you sing are often complete nonsense. But.... sometimes in between the nonsense and stream of consciousness there is something that is you desperately want to express. So in a song like Valder Fields there is a stitching together of some of these moments within a broader stream of potential nonsense.
Some people would disagree and say that good song writing is about clear narrative or analogy but I prefer to stick to a method that is based in a degree of chaos. So for that reason I am not going to proceed to surgically dissect every word in the song and explain how it fits into some jigsaw puzzle esque coherent whole, but rather give you some ideas about what the song may be about.
So.... after that long preface and disclaimer, the song Valder Fields is about the tension between our life of responsibility and the life of chaos. There are many times that I feel like lying down and falling asleep on the warm concrete next to a fountain in the city square but I dont do that because I am late for a job interview or worrying about getting back to work in a department store (btw I dont actually work in a department store but i do know many fine people who do !) .
On the other side there are some people do live that life of complete abandon and irresponsibility but unfortunately they often find themselves locked up in psych wards after they get found lying asleep outside someones door in a bizarre gown or start crying uncontrollably when they say that they love their life.
So many of us end up living a life partway between responsibility and the chaos of complete abandon. I read a book by a Dutch economist who said that the "modern" man (or woman) is beset by the twin thrusts of modernity: one toward "progress" and a desperate striving for success (as we see in the way our global markets are structured with an absolute need for growth) and the other toward an ideal of individual freedom where we have the liberty to choose not to succeed or "progress".
So as I said people end up with a life partway between these.....Perhaps I am straying off the topic a little but hopefully that gives you a little more background to the song- or perhaps if you are reading this blog you may be more confused.
anyway I look forward to hearing your thoughts
