Ring Them Bells
每年离圣诞还有大半个月的时候就开始听各种欢乐的圣诞专辑，在圣诞气氛不浓的家乡
小镇气氛是要靠自己搞的呀^-^ 今年渐渐少了这种自娱自乐的劲头，不过有首歌是一定
会听的：Bob Dylan的《Ring Them Bells》，在辞旧迎新的岁末，任何一首欢腾的圣
诞歌都比不上这首淡淡忧伤的Ring Them Bells抚慰人心。
Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride.
Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an ironhand
So the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow.
Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies.
Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.
到现在还不能完全理解歌词的意思，也没有去考据Saint Peter，Saint Catherine
和Sweet Martha的隐喻，只是觉得这首写给活在不公正的法则里不断抗争抑或渐渐消逝
的普通人和弱者的歌，还是在好好传达 “an optimistic hope for mankind”的。（
不知有没理解错=_=)
在这个即将过去的2011，有地震海啸核辐射，有动荡的中东和饥饿的非洲之角，有染
色馒头和毒豆芽，有小悦悦和陈阿姨...在岁末欢庆的节日气氛里，是不是更应该ring
them bells,for the lost sheeps, for all of us who are left,for the
chosen few,for the child that cries...并希望在不一定会变得更好的2012里努力
过得更好~
PS:这首歌有不少翻唱版本，还是Dylan的沧桑怪嗓（=_=||）最合适啊。
最近在听的圣诞专辑：
1.Billy Gilman的《Classic Christmas》（每年必听，不过已经好几年没关注过Billy的动态了）
2.Frank Sinatra的Christmas Album （经典）
3. Do-Re-Mi Children´s Chorus 《Christmas Sing-A-Longs》（很嗨皮的童声合唱，去年年底好听音乐网闭站后收藏夹里的专辑列表来不及保存，好在现在又找到这张专辑了）
4.Bryan Adams 《Merry Christmas》（这把嗓子唱神马都这么销魂呐）
5.Carole King 《A Christmas Carole》（没想到Carole King 唱Sleide Ride居然这么萌！！=_=）
6.Bon Jovi 《 I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas》（永远年轻！）
7.Libera 《Libera The Christmas Album》（童声合唱团，教堂唱诗班，治愈系，安眠曲=_=）
8.Tonny Bennett 《The Classic Christmas》
呵呵，以上列表好像暴露本人怀旧恋童癖的本性了~
