熊貓人音樂,我們一起在這些難忘的夜裡聽好歌。
今天潘德曼要跟大家分享,每當感到沮喪或是難過時,常常陪伴著我的歌曲,由 Snow Patrol 演唱的 Run,這首歌能夠讓我在一片黑暗中,彷彿看見一到強光,指引全新的方向,拋開那些 Blue 心情,不斷往前奔跑。
跟著 Snow Patrol 的 Run,我們一起擺脫這一切慘淡

I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you, dear
樂團主唱 Gary Lightbody 在訪問中提到,這首歌在訴說的,是一個想像中的世界,並且把自已的一切投射在這個世界裡,整首歌就像是自己的心情寫照。
Run 收錄在 Snow Patrol 2003 年推出的專輯 “Final Straw”,這張專輯對整個樂團來說,是非常重要的轉捩點。Snow Patrol 於 1994 年正式在 University of Dundee 成軍,在這段期間發行過兩張樂團的專輯,但是在銷售量上面都沒有非常亮眼的成績。
直到 “Final Straw” 的推出,讓來自北愛爾蘭的樂團 Snow Patrol 一舉打響樂團的知名度,從此逐漸受到注目,讓樂團在各個國家的專輯銷售量都有不錯的進展,也奠定往後幾年推出的新專輯讓樂團在全世界更受到矚目的根基。
我覺得 Snow Patrol 最迷人的地方在於,歌曲所營造出的意境是低溫的、是幽暗的,而主唱 Gary Lightbody 的嗓音是一種帶有救贖的微光,不會過度強烈,卻能清楚地在這片模糊裡,投射出最清晰的影像,指引著正確的方向。
這首 Run 對我而言是一首非常重要的歌曲,在很多沮喪的時刻,這首歌帶給我光,讓我能夠衝出身後這一片黑色。
Light up, light up
你聽見那道光芒了嗎?
