严格意义上讲,《yesterday once more》应该是我人生听到的第一首英文歌曲,1987年我从小乡村来到南昌,就读于南昌气象学校。有段时间,学校广播站每天都会播放这首经典歌曲,当时甚至都不知道歌名,具体的其它细节随着时间地流逝变得模糊,只记得,当高音喇叭传出carpenter那磁性的声音,便被深深地吸引,每一声 Shalala, 每一声Wo-o-wo-o,回响在耳边,依然那么清晰。 尽管我完全不懂她唱的是什么,一点也未妨碍我立即喜欢上了这首歌。
直到多年后,工作后买了自己的音响,买了那张《欧美流行经典》CD,才知道原来那首仅凭优美的旋律和磁性的声音,深深地打动我的歌曲就是《yesterday once more》。如今,三十四年过去了,翻出这首老歌,依然那么动听。我想,人类二十世纪最最伟大发明之一就是录音技术,它让这些优美动听歌曲能够穿越时空,仿佛昨日重现。我们一遍遍地听着这些歌曲,在那些清冷的夜晚只有这些旋律伴着我们,抚慰心灵的力量让我们度过了多少惆怅的时光,我们忘记了很多:曾经的人、事、场景等等细节湮灭在时光里,但这些旋律却留在了我们心底,异常清晰。
年少时听到这些歌曲,还没有那么多地回忆,只是单纯地喜欢;而今再次聆听这些歌曲,夹杂着太多的记忆,尽管这些记忆也不是那么可靠,甚至大多也是模糊的,仿佛什么都未经历过,然而这就如同窖藏了几十年的老酒,时间让它发生了微妙的变化,变得更为醇香醉人。我们听着老歌,嘴角带着若有若无的微笑,不再惆怅,那余味却无以言说。
