新歌推荐
Bent：这首歌由乐队Matchbox 20演唱，是最近美国Bill Board排行榜单曲10强中很有
实力的作品，好像曾在相当长的时间内占据榜首的位置。很有点英式摇滚的味道，MTV
天籁村好像放过MTV，很好听的歌。

经典回顾
这次介绍Simon&Garfunkel的几首经典作品。
Blues Run The Game：这首歌我不太了解，只是依稀记得相当有名，也很好听。从歌词
中听起来，好像是和保罗·西蒙英国求学的经历有关。

I Am A Rock：这是一首反映遭受感情挫折而想自我封闭的心情的名曲。失恋过的人，
很多都在当时有过这种心绪吧。非常好听的歌。附歌词。

Homeward Bound：“回乡之旅”这首歌是保罗·西蒙1966年的名曲。歌曲表现的是一位
奋斗者的孤独感。一位歌手在独自巡回演唱的旅程中的一站，手提吉他和衣箱，等着火
车去下一演出地点。这时他忽然心生凄凉：“多么希望这是在回乡的旅途上啊！”这种
感受非常自然，尤其对一个尚未成功的奋斗者。即使你有坚定不移的信念，才智如西
蒙，也难免一时间产生孤独、软弱和自悲的念头。整日淹没在香烟、杂志之中，陌生的
城镇，陌生的面孔，每晚强做笑颜歌唱，依旧默默无闻，……“多么希望得到他人的慰
籍，就像填补和声的空白”，“多么希望这是回乡之旅，回到所思所唱，心爱的姑娘默
默等待的家乡。” 附歌词。

I Am A Rock
Simon & Garfunkel
Music & Lyrics : Paul Simon
A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
Homeward Bound
Simon & Garfunkel
Music & Lyrics : Paul Simon
I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.

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。
