有什么比自由和爱情更美？如果有，那就是自由地爱—Mystery of Love

曾经义无反顾地陷入

而后悲痛欲绝地告别

现在无怨无悔

一边怀念 一边朝前

在最美的时机相遇

简简单单

那是爱情

后面的日子

各安天涯

仍是感激

请相信

一切都是真实

请相信

我全部都记得

有什么比自由和爱情更美？如果有，那就是自由地爱—Mystery of Love

今天为你推荐的是Sufjan Stevens为电影Call Me by Your Name而创作的Mystery of Love.

Introduction:

Sufjan Stevens，美国音乐人，1975年出生于密歇根州底特律。导演Luca Guadagnino邀请Sufjan Stevens为Call Me by Your Name创作一首歌，当Luca给Sufjan介绍了电影内容和他的想法后，Sufjan就决定为电影创作两首歌，就是现在的Mystery of Love和Visions of Gideon，还将其发表过的Futile Devices制作成钢琴版，作为电影配乐。Sufjan喜欢把鸟写进自己的歌里，因为他向往鸟的自由和超然。

Lyric:

Oh, to see without my eyes

The first time that you kissed me

Boundless by the time I cried

I built your walls around me

White noise, what an awful sound

Fumbling by Rogue River

Feel my feet above the ground

Hand of God, deliver me

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

The first time that you touched me

Oh, will wonders ever cease?

Blessed be the mystery of love

Lord, I no longer believe

Drowned in living waters

Cursed by the love that I received

From my brother's daughter

Like Hephaestion, who died

Alexander's lover

Now my riverbed has dried

Shall I find no other?

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

I'm running like a plover

Now I'm prone to misery

The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

How much sorrow can I take?

Blackbird on my shoulder

And what difference does it make

When this love is over?

Shall I sleep within your bed

River of unhappiness

Hold your hands upon my head

Till I breathe my last breath

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

The last time that you touched me

Oh, will wonders ever cease?

Blessed be the mystery of love
