14歲的女生,我通常連話都懶得聽她說,更遑論是聽她唱歌…
這首翻唱自Bon Iver的”Skinny Love”,第一句歌詞就揪住了我的耳朵,溫潤如Sarah Mclachlan的假音,絲毫聽不出14歲的青澀。試問14歲妳談過幾次戀愛?日漸削瘦的感情又懂多少?憑甚麼把這樣的悲歌唱進每個人的心裡頭?

Skinny Love /Birdy
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order’s tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different “kind”
Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
