If I Die Young

偶然在iTunes上下了一首歌,If I die young,然后竟然一上午一边循环这首歌一边敲代码,呵呵,这首歌确实很好听。说实话歌词听不懂,但是主唱的嗓音和旋律的感觉我是很喜欢啊,不知道是不是暗合了我现在的心境。呵呵。推荐给几个朋友和同事听了,大家感觉都不错。鉴于是在iTunes上这首单曲是免费的,就不在Blog上提供下载了。晚上搜了一圈歌词,目前我朝大陆境内还搜不到相关的信息,连YouTube上很多留言都是在找歌词,难道老美们也感觉听起来费劲?最终还是让我给找到了,哈哈。

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She’ll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain’t always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain’t even great, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I’ve never known the lovin’ of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding me hand

There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
There worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll here the words I been singin’
Funny when your dead how people start listenin’

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep `em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls

玉树受灾的同胞们,好好活

看到玉树灾情,说实话,我似乎比上次四川地震更麻木了。我不想听官方新闻的一片赞美我们天朝英明的声音。地方官员们总是先感谢国家的作风不该,还依旧代表全体灾区人民。我感觉灾区人民可能现在想到的不是感谢,他们在生命危难之际想的最多的可能就是“生存下来”,这是正常普通人在危险中的本能。

真的希望我们的救灾跟宣传的那样,全世界最快速、最整齐划一的。也希望我们的大笔的捐款真的是用在了刀刃上,真的能专款专用。但愿我不是在做白日梦。

不想太愤,一堆关键词估计会被某墙给认证的。希望玉树受灾的人们活着的好好活,死的能在另一个世界好好过。领导们认真点吧,别老作秀,多了没意思,还是踏实点,大家都不容易。
