西安外国语大学英文学院大二学生。音乐、书籍是我安静独处时的伙伴。语言文字、音乐、绘画、舞蹈，在我眼里，虽各自表达形式不同，实质都是让我们更多更好了解世界和生活的窗口。当有一些事理事物我们通过语言文字还是无法清楚了解时，也许恰是一段音乐或舞蹈，可以给予我们意外的启示，让我们的感悟更真切更周到。

　歌手简介：作为一名出品法国本地音乐的歌手兼词作者，Keren Ann（凯伦·安）的家庭背景有点特殊：她于1974年出生于以色列一个“混血儿”家庭 —— 母亲是荷兰-爪哇人、父亲则是俄罗斯-以色列人……

Where'd you go
-Fort Minor
歌词
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

Where'd you go
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

Where'd you go
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...

  中文歌词

这就是为什么我总想知道
我心中充盈着悔恨
我总是试着不去想而非真的遗忘

这就是为什么我总是细声低语
当流浪汉经过这里时
我总是躲着不让他们和我道别

潮水沿着海湾起起落落
但我哪儿也不去
我哪儿也不去

人们来来回回又走向远方
可我哪儿也不去
我哪儿也不去

这就是为什么我总是细声低语
我是一条被诅咒的河流
我喜欢用心聆听而不只是听闻
我喜欢娓娓道来却不只是表达

这就是为什么我总是想知道
阳光下没有新的事物
我哪儿也不会去
所以要把我的爱分给每一个人

潮水沿着海湾起起落落
但我哪儿也不去
我哪儿也不去

人们来来回回又走向远方
可我哪儿也不去
我哪儿也不会去

   我听之我见

是在一个只有自己一人的下午，听到了Keren Ann的歌声。安静地聆听，优雅的法国女人，恬静干净的声音，纯粹致极。刚开始，觉得自己只是被Ann独特的嗓音所吸引，但是在一遍一遍replay之后，才越发体会到她歌里独特的味道，如酒般越品越醇……

有人说Keren Ann的东西适合作为全世界任何一家咖啡馆的背景音乐，这可能和她娓娓道来的嗓音中隐隐透露的慵懒味道有关吧。我倒认为Keren Ann是更适合于一个人独自聆听的。

用灵魂唱歌的女子，要用宁静的心去倾听，才会在心灵深处产生那种似纯淡如水，又在每个人心里都隐约存在的共鸣——简单，或复杂；尝试一下吧，试着置身Ann的世界，你会发现任何繁重、悲伤，都会变得无足轻重；你会发现她那句轻描淡写般唱出的“ won't go anywhere so give my love to everyone”又是多么的让人为之动容！不及你觉察，一个似不食人间烟火却又在若有若无间透露真性情的法国女子已慢慢在你眼前所浮现。

也许天生就是要被这样的女子，这样的音乐所吸引,注定要要迷恋上她们的…比如和Ann相似的陈绮贞，还有她的《一个人的旅行》…… 在我，都是放到心底去聆听的。

本带着浮躁气的心，每每在听过这样的声音，认识了这样的人之后，会渐渐如尘埃般落定,然后感受到一丝淡淡、柔柔、亦暖暖的心意。
