Letter To Me

From Brad Paisley from the album 5th Gear

If I could write a letter to me

And send it back in time to myself at 17

First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed

There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid

And then I'd say I know it's tough

When you break up after seven months

And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair

All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night

She wasn't right for you

And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back

And you're wondering if you'll survive

You'll make it through this and you'll see

You're still around to write this letter to me

At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth

Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks

And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full

On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool

Each and every time you have a fight

Just assume you're wrong and dad is right

And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman

She spent so much extra time

It's like she sees the diamond underneath

And she's polishin' you 'til you shine

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night

Tonight's the bonfire rally

But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra

Mom and dad will kill you dead

Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C

And you're still around to write this letter to me

You've got so much up ahead

You'll make new friends

You should see your kids and wife

And I'd end by saying have no fear

These are nowhere near the best years of your life

I guess I'll see you in the mirror

When you're a grown man

P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night

I wish you'd study Spanish

I wish you'd take a typing class

I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be

I'd say have a little faith and you'll see

If I could write a letter to me

To me

END

这是今年至今我听到的最好的一首歌。旋律不仅流畅上口，而且百听不厌。歌词更是无比经典，以过来人的语气写信给年轻的自己，感人至深。我听了快半年了还在听。

强烈推荐。

by Darin Zanyar from the album Flashback

Just imagine how you feel
If you would be the one they're picking on
Would you would you be the who's gonna stand up strong
Honestly
Would you let us lie break down and cry, oh
Would you would you would you
Never let nobody step on your right
What if it was your brother sister mother father child
Then would it still be cool
Why can't you see your words are hurting
Everybody deserves to be themselves and no one else
So think before you move
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the criticism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
How would you would you would you feel
Honestly
How would you would you would you feel
If they were doing it to you
Just imagine how you would feel
If everybody always laughed at you
Would you would you would you
They think it's ok with me and you
If you were me
And the people 'round you were having you down now
Would you would you would you
Like if they did that to you
What if it was your brother sister mother father child
Then would it still be cool
Why can't you see your words are hurting
Everybody deserves to be themselves and no one else
So think before you move
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the criticism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the criticism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
How would you would you would you feel
Honestly
How would you would you would you feel
If they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the criticism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the criticism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you

去年Darin的专辑《Flashback》里的最后一首歌，也是相对来说节奏稍慢的一首。歌词讲反对歧视，也是相对比较深的一首。Darin的演绎虽然声音嫌薄，但感情还算到位。旋律和词都很出色，是专辑里的精品之作，不比Flashback差。

多简单 爱情

像就做完的梦

清楚 模糊

多简单

像第一次问你爱不爱

你说爱 爱

多美丽回答

它轻轻的掠过

不愿落下

这一些热的烈的情

苍白的浮冰

多无影

散 散落

那些忽而现又有时隐而不见的飞

啊 散落

那些抓也抓不住的才是真的

多简单 爱情

它轻轻的掠过

不愿落下

这一些热的烈的情

都无影

啊多透明

散 散落

那些忽而现又有时隐而不见的飞

啊 散落

那些忽而亮转而模糊隐隐约约飘落

散 散落

那些忽而现又有时隐而不见的坠

啊 散落

那些抓也抓不住的才是真的

2002年张元的电影《我爱你》的主题歌。个人觉得是王菲最经典的作品之一，也是张亚东本人的创作巅峰之作。听了这首你真的会觉得王菲和张亚东生在同一个时代并搭档做音乐真的是一个奇迹。王菲飘渺如飞羽散落的声音真的让人欲罢不能。

这首歌虽然那么早就有了，却一直到今天才随着张亚东的《潜流》而正式上市。估计这也会让这首歌真正的广为人知。专辑版本的编曲有了些变化，加了木吉他和后面的男声吟唱，而王菲的段落则少了最后重复的副歌。个人更喜欢原版，也许是先入为主，但依然强烈推荐。任何从那个时代过来的人都应该回首听一听这首歌。
