這幾天在朋友給的音樂集中,偶然聽到「西城男孩」(Westlife) 的一首情歌 "That's Where You Find Love"
突然間,被這抒情的弦律和帶著滄勁的歌聲所吸引。
仔細聆聽歌詞,
發現它把遇到真愛時,那種微妙、深情、難以言遇的感受描繪地好真切、細膩、而不流俗…
曾有一個很好的朋友問我,如果今天你願意跟這個人交往、進而結婚,是為了什麼原因?
一般人也許會回答,"因為喜歡"、"因為愛"…
但思索三秒後的我,回答:"因為……心靈相契"…
對自己來說,
也許喜歡和愛的感覺、可以因為時空的變異而被不同的人所取代,仰或是被時間的洪流而慢慢沖淡…
但"心靈相契"愛的感觸,是種即使在千萬人之中,也難得尋覓到的契機…
就好如、子期過世,伯牙因為再無知音而絕弦般、有著後無來者的氣魄與決斷。
也因此、"心靈相契"的被取代性很低 … 質很獨一 …
一但、你找到它後,
心……就會如秋天裡被微風吹落的楓葉、柔緩地輕觸那安寧的湖面般 … 有著靜止、安定、滿足的歸屬感 ~
"That's Where You Find Love"
In your eyes
I found the greatest prize
You and I could not be closer
And in your arms
Is everything I want
Now I know my search is over
And I don't know where you take me
But it's exactly where I wanna be
It's where the stars line up
It's where the oceans touch
It's in a place you've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's where you give your all
And give a little more
I've never been so sure
That's where you find love
People pass
And listen to us laugh
Wishing that they had the same thing
And our friends they ask
How we made it last
I just smile and say the same thing
I'm not sure how we got here
Baby I'm just glad that we got here
It's where the stars line up
It's where the oceans touch
It's in a place you've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's where you give your all
And give a little more
I've never been so sure
That's where you find love
That's where you find love
It's where the stars line up
It's where the oceans touch
It's in a place you've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's where you give your all
And give a little more
I've never been this sure
That's where you find love
