All That You Can’t Leave Behind

 

 

All That You Can’t Leave Behind.

 

U2的专辑中我最喜欢的一张，堪称经典；很多年后听起来，依然会有会心的微笑。Walk On、New York、Kite、Wild Honey、Elevation、Grace，都是我很喜欢的歌曲。专辑发行一年之后发生的911，从某种程度上帮助这张专辑拿到了格莱美的最佳专辑大奖；然而我相信促使这张专辑获奖的绝不仅仅是与911神秘切合的主题。

 

很久没有听这张专辑里的歌，在深夜再次听到了Bono那独特的嗓音，那种喧闹中的宁静——Walk On

 

是的，不管你现在何处，不管你在做什么，继续走下去：这是一种寄于电子摇滚音乐的力量。与各位出国、工作或是考研的兄弟姐妹们共勉！

 

Walk On          — U2

 

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
Before the second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it

Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You’re packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you got, you can’t deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it

Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Walk on

Home, hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home, I can’t say where it is but I know I’m going
Home, that’s where the heart is

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

All that you fashion, all that you make
All that you build, all that you break
All that you measure, all that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason, all that you care
It’s only time and I’ll never fill up all my mind
All that you sense, all that you scheme
