“于无声处”,这首Sound of Silence 是罗刹海前传吗?
刀郎沉默十年后发布新唱片,但他基本不评论, 也没请代表发言。可他的sound被人类放了近200亿次。这是好事还是不好?因为是自发的,所以好的应多于不好的。
最终只有历史能评判,被遗忘的应不太好。像这首从奥斯卡金像奖电影GRADUATE传出的不被人遗忘的”反叛”E歌,《沉默之声, The sound of silence》说了,不敢或不开囗saying something或会助长癌症。所以唱刀歌或可减癌( cancer grows / growth, a good thing (any doctor here?)。
健康的身体乃革命的本钱。

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sound of silence
