西安外國語大學英文學院大二學生。音樂、書籍是我安靜獨處時的伙伴。語言文字、音樂、繪畫、舞蹈，在我眼里，雖各自表達形式不同，實質都是讓我們更多更好了解世界和生活的窗口。當有一些事理事物我們通過語言文字還是無法清楚了解時，也許恰是一段音樂或舞蹈，可以給予我們意外的啟示，讓我們的感悟更真切更周到。

　歌手簡介：作為一名出品法國本地音樂的歌手兼詞作者，Keren Ann（凱倫·安）的家庭背景有點特殊：她于1974年出生于以色列一個“混血兒”家庭 —— 母親是荷蘭-爪哇人、父親則是俄羅斯-以色列人……

Where'd you go
-Fort Minor
歌詞
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

Where'd you go
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

Where'd you go
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...

  中文歌詞

這就是為什么我總想知道
我心中充盈著悔恨
我總是試著不去想而非真的遺忘

這就是為什么我總是細聲低語
當流浪漢經過這里時
我總是躲著不讓他們和我道別

潮水沿著海灣起起落落
但我哪兒也不去
我哪兒也不去

人們來來回回又走向遠方
可我哪兒也不去
我哪兒也不去

這就是為什么我總是細聲低語
我是一條被詛咒的河流
我喜歡用心聆聽而不只是聽聞
我喜歡娓娓道來卻不只是表達

這就是為什么我總是想知道
陽光下沒有新的事物
我哪兒也不會去
所以要把我的愛分給每一個人

潮水沿著海灣起起落落
但我哪兒也不去
我哪兒也不去

人們來來回回又走向遠方
可我哪兒也不去
我哪兒也不會去

   我聽之我見

是在一個只有自己一人的下午，聽到了Keren Ann的歌聲。安靜地聆聽，優雅的法國女人，恬靜干凈的聲音，純粹致極。剛開始，覺得自己只是被Ann獨特的嗓音所吸引，但是在一遍一遍replay之后，才越發體會到她歌里獨特的味道，如酒般越品越醇……

有人說Keren Ann的東西適合作為全世界任何一家咖啡館的背景音樂，這可能和她娓娓道來的嗓音中隱隱透露的慵懶味道有關吧。我倒認為Keren Ann是更適合于一個人獨自聆聽的。

用靈魂唱歌的女子，要用寧靜的心去傾聽，才會在心靈深處產生那種似純淡如水，又在每個人心里都隱約存在的共鳴——簡單，或復雜；嘗試一下吧，試著置身Ann的世界，你會發現任何繁重、悲傷，都會變得無足輕重；你會發現她那句輕描淡寫般唱出的“ won't go anywhere so give my love to everyone”又是多么的讓人為之動容！不及你覺察，一個似不食人間煙火卻又在若有若無間透露真性情的法國女子已慢慢在你眼前所浮現。

也許天生就是要被這樣的女子，這樣的音樂所吸引,注定要要迷戀上她們的…比如和Ann相似的陳綺貞，還有她的《一個人的旅行》…… 在我，都是放到心底去聆聽的。

本帶著浮躁氣的心，每每在聽過這樣的聲音，認識了這樣的人之后，會漸漸如塵埃般落定,然后感受到一絲淡淡、柔柔、亦暖暖的心意。
