無意中聽到James Blunt 2019 年的歌曲 "monsters",
深深被感動,真的說出我對垂危父親的心情。
原來這是他父親腎衰竭病危時,他寫下的一首歌,後來順利換腎,他父親跟他一起拍MV.
看著James 泛淚的藍色眼睛,我也跟著一起流淚。
後來發現另一個版本,是一位夏威夷少年 Iam Tongi 2023參加美國選秀節目 American Idol 2023 獲獎的演唱,
他的父親教他走上音樂之路,在比賽前不久過世了。
少年的聲音乾淨充滿感情,兩位男性裁判都流下眼淚。
American Idol 後來請來 James 和 Iam 合唱,也令人非常感動。
James 還公開評價 Iam 說,他唱得更好,自己秒變粉絲。那麼誠懇,真的是個真性情的漢子。

Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won t read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I ll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I m not your son, you re not my father
We re just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you re sleeping I ll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won t you just close your eyes?
Don t be afraid, it s my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I ll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don t be scared
The time has gone
So here it is
I m not your son, you re not my father
We re just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you re sleeping I ll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won t you just close your eyes?
Don t be afraid, it s my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I ll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I m not your son, you re not my father
We re just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you re sleeping I ll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won t you just close your eyes?
Don t be afraid, it s my turn
To chase the monsters away |
