Take a Look at Me Now
故事要从一首叫Dakota的歌开始。第一次听见它是在UK的电视音乐节目上，Kelly Jones标志性地脚打节奏演唱完毕，随后一同消失在我记忆深处。直到那天我去打口，老板推荐我听stereophonics，抽出那张彩条封面的塑料壳子，上碟，感觉还不错，随即买下。谁知我意外发现那首名叫Dakota的歌竟然掺夹在其中，顿时肾上腺素萌发，突然间涌起一些难以名状的情感。后来很自然地迷恋上KJ沙哑质感的嗓音与stereophonics式的英伦噪声。Language. Sex. Violence. Other?这张上乘之作则成为我睡前的必备安魂曲。
我热爱其中的每首歌，但我逐渐发现Dakota就是一股无形的力，让我疲软又如鲠在喉（我是真感慨到要哭又哭不出来的喉咙痛）。看KJ踮着脚撕扯着颗粒感的声音演唱广受欢迎的Dakota，那种感情不同于听Nirvana，不同于听Green Day，不同于听Garbage，不同于听Sum41，不同于听Robbie Williams，不同于听Korn，不同于听Placebo（我这么说是因为某种特殊意义），甚至不同于听Nickelback的Photograph。那是种略带伤感的怀念，又不至于悲观，是一种对往日情怀的追忆，又不至于沉溺。
后来我与生命中出现的那些真挚的朋友因为种种幼稚的互相伤害而分道扬镳了。每当我听着Dakota，非常矫情地内心翻腾得热烈，总是不禁回想我们曾经历过的美好的一切，那些一起吼过的歌，喝过的酒，那些不必多说也可以明白对方的惊人契合，还有那些执拗的争吵和冷战。也不知道为什么我们就这样结束了，没有告别，没有结束语，转而变成两个世界的人。我时常想起她们，揣摩着她们是否还会想起我，或是，已经漠然？
我是真的很想知道。
thinking back, thinking of you
summertime think it was june
yeah think it was june
laying back, head on the grass
chewing gum having some laughs
yeah having some laughs.
you made me feel like the one
made me feel like the one
the one
drinking back, drinking for two
drinking with you
when drinking was new
sleeping in the back of my car
we never went far
didn't need to go far
you made me feel like the one
made me feel like the one
the one
you made me feel like the one
made me feel like the one
the one
i don't know where we are going now
i don't know where we are going now
wake up call coffee and juice
remembering you
what happened to you?
i wonder if we'll meet again
talk about life since then
talk about why did it end
you made me feel like the one
made me feel like the one
the one
you made me feel like the one
made me feel like the one
the one
i don't know where we are going now
i don't know where we are going now
so take a look at me now
so take a look at me now
so take a look at me now
so take a look at me now
so take a look at me now
