孙国庆《无言》(Sometimes When We Touch)、王迪《不觉已流水年长》(Against All Odds)
1987年读大一的时候,在拼盘的磁带中,反反复复听孙国庆的《无言》和王迪的《不觉已流水年长》,后来从图书馆录了些欧美流行歌来听之后,才发现这两首歌分别填词自Dan Hill的“Sometimes When We Touch”和Phil Collins的“Against All Odds”。当时寝室里的同学都倾倒于这些歌,现在回过头看,这几首歌代表了80年代(乃至以后)填词的最高水平。
我在网上搜索这两首歌的时候,发现同时在搜索询问的,基本都是同龄人,他们或许在某个晚上的K歌房里,偶尔听到了20多年前的歌,心绪难平,回家之后急切地上网搜索,然后听上好多遍。
没办法,上了点年纪就开始怀旧。我在办公室工作用机上共享了一个歌曲目录,起名叫“比你们还老的老歌”,是给年轻同事的,呵呵。

Sometimes When We Touch歌词:
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I’d rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
For who am I to judge you
In what you say or do
I’m only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till die
I’ll we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me grappling with my pride
But through the years of maturity
Some tenderness survives
I’m just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prizefighter
Still trapped within my youth
At times I’d lied to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I’d like to break through
And hold you endlessly
Sometimes I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I’ve watched while love commands you
And I’ve watched love pass you by
At times I think we’re drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
Against ALl Odds歌词:
How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you. Woo…
You’re the only one who really knew me at all.
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave?
Cause we shared the laughter and the pain.
And even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now,
There’s just an empty space.
And there's nothing left here to remind me.
Just the memory of your face.
Well, take a look at me now,
There’s just an empty space.
And you coming back to me is against all odds.
And that's what I've got to face.
I wish I could just make you turn around.
Turn around and see me cry.
There's so much I need to say to you.
So many reasons why-
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space.
And there's nothing left here to remind me.
Just the memory of your face.
Now, take a look at me now,
There’s just an empty space.
But to wait for you is all I can do,
And that's what I've got to face.
Well, take a look at me now,
Cause I'll still be standing here.
And you coming back to me is against all odds.
It's the chance I've got to take.
Take a good look at me now…
