华南师范大学外文学院英语系04级学生。喜欢英文，喜欢听英文歌曲，一首好的英文歌曲不仅让我学到课文里学不到的知识，更让我体味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不仅仅是动人的旋律，找到每首歌的触动点，理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了听歌还喜欢看看书，听歌让我觉得享受，看书让我觉得充实。

 我听之我见（精彩点评）：在广州灰蒙蒙的夜空下，我很少有闲情逸致抬头欣赏月亮，似乎我的脖子好像已经习惯了向前倾的姿势，直到听到Corrinne May 的“Same side of the moon”……

那些不必分离，朝着同一个方向看月亮的人，应该算得上幸运了吧！那些相隔千里，却看到了月亮的同一面的人，则是弥足珍贵的。可是， 即便在同一个屋檐下，看到的也未必是月亮的同一面，这就是生活令人沮丧的地方 —— 人的旅途终究还是孤独的。尽管身处不同时空，然而有了月光联系便不觉寂寞的。

    Lyrics      

Same side of the moon              ByCorrinne May

I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray
I see the same side of the moon

That we'll be looking on
When the world turns blue
And know that time and space
Can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon

And though you'll never see
All my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I picture you across the oceans
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change
It's still the same side of the moon

That we'll be looking on
When the world turns blue
And know that time and space
Can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon

And though you'll never see
All my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

  中文歌词

月亮的同一面          符美芸

我凝望着窗外
那个我们曾坐着看星空的地方
空气中有一阵寒气
让我的心渴望你的触碰
也许你离得很远
但当我跪下乞求
我看见了月亮的同一面

我们都会看到
当世界变蓝
而后知道时间和空间
并不能阻隔我和你
我们看见了月亮的同一面

虽然你永远不会看见
闪着的泪光
我知道我不会离你很远
如果我们都
看见了月亮的同一面
