I know I've so long been away from you. Things changed except me. "Leave me something unchangeable at least," I said. "Anything?" You asked. "Like a picture or something, I think." "Well then. Just take a picture from me everyday." "Deal." Then the winter sunshine through my window. It was just beautiful. It was as beautiful as every single day in my life.
I remenbered that day,
the day I caught you smiled to me.
You were hiding behind the bottle of perfume.
Suddenly I remembered that it's the best thing I done these years.
To make you smile.
Playing now:
Antony and the Johnsons "Fistfull of Love"
from the album 'I am a Bird Now'
“ 昨天我躺在床上 I was lying in my bed last night 凝視滿天花板的星星 Staring at a ceiling full of stars
我們都活在時間的照片中 We live together in a photograph of time 我望進你的雙眼 I look into your eyes 海為我而開 And the seas open up to me ”
在那部李奧納科恩紀念音樂會「我是你的男人」紀錄電影中,看到Antony唱歌是種揪心的經驗,他翻唱的是『If It Be Your Will』這首歌,用他溫和又悲哀的中音唱著:『如果這是你的意願,要我唱歌…』(If it be your will, to let me sing),他邊顫抖著,邊唱出掛在語尾的一絲淒美顫音,唱歌的姿態有如傾盡全部情感,這是歌中臣服、迫於無奈的哀愁,也是屬於Antony特有的黑暗小宇宙,只要聽過一次,你就能辨別的黯然美學:美麗的孤寂、美麗的失敗,即使醜陋如嫉羨,也是失敗者的華麗想像。
