亂逛網路的結果 - 大家又有好歌可以聽了

晚上在公司上班的時候，一來實在是懶的打電動，二來是無聊的發慌，於是開了瀏覽器在網路上到處亂逛。逛著逛著，逛到一個blog，看到其中一篇文，介紹了一首歌，Like a rolling stone。看內文時，其實還不清楚這首歌我究竟有沒有聽過(因為該文提供的試聽連結點閱不能Orz)，等到看到某個回應才發現，原來這首歌是電影「以父之名」裡，男主角在前往倫敦的郵輪上，跟遇到的朋友在船艙點唱機裡點的那首歌。然後呢，我當然又借助孤狗大神的力量，硬是從茫茫網海中，找來了這首歌的MP3。


聽著聽著，電影裡的畫面又慢慢浮現眼前。兩個在船上偶遇的愛爾蘭嬉皮夥伴，心裡想著的是到達倫敦之後怎麼找個嬉皮窩過過放浪的生活，卻茫然不知這一刻正是他們人生的轉戾點。更諷刺的是，他們還在船艙裡大口喝著黑啤酒，大聲應和著這首歌，對於自己的即將面對的陌生渾然不覺擔憂。

我該說這兩位是過度樂觀呢？還是搞不清楚自身狀況？或許對當時的康龍來說，人生不過就是一場遊戲，一段有趣的過程而已。更何況，他正要離開那個在當時的他討厭的家鄉，而且又遇到兒時的同伴，這一切的情況都很適合開心的唱歌，大口的喝酒，不是嗎？至於他們兩人是否真能了解這首歌的含意，倒也不是那麼重要了。

Like a rolling stone by Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
