Living For Tomorrow: 经过四五天的搜索和下载，终于把这首Scorpions的经典作品当
下了来。丝毫不逊色于Wind Of Change的一首歌，演唱会版本，虽然有7分14秒，但还
是听的我意犹未尽。歌词没有找到，仔细听了一下，是呼吁人们为了明天的美好而好好
珍惜和保护这个世界。强力推荐。

American Pie: 上次介绍了Don Mclean的原唱，这次听听Madonna的翻唱，别有一番风
味。Madonna虽然拍电影很为人诟病，但唱歌确实很有一套，无论是前不久的Don't Cry
For Me Argentina还是这首《美国派》，都能唱出自己的风格来。敢于挑战这种具有时
代意义的歌曲，本身就是需要勇气的。

Vincent: 民谣诗人Don Mclean再次登场。这首歌也叫Stary Stary Night，是献给荷兰
的后印象派画家文森特·凡高的，歌词的意境多有凡高色彩浓烈的画组成，而歌名“星
光灿烂的夜”本身就是凡高的一幅画的标题。Don Mclean用原声吉他自始至终伴着他的
叙事诗似的歌，把人们带入那冬天落学的风景中，带入挂满凡高自画像的艺术馆，带入
对他深切的同情之中。这首歌在1972年英国排行榜上数周居首，无论是思想性，艺术性
和可听性都是一流的。

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
D. McClean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
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
Chorus:
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 how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers 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
Chorus:
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
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 strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
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 did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

且夫水之积也不厚，则其负大舟也无力。覆杯水于坳堂之上，则芥
为之舟。置杯焉则胶，水浅而舟大也。风之积也不厚，则其负大翼也
无力。故九万里则风斯在下矣，而后乃今培风；背负青天而莫之夭阏
者，而后乃今将图南。
