love for a child

我也喜欢..好听

Love for a child是我專輯中最喜歡的歌曲之一~
其實歌詞是想說出現今父母離異對孩子們的影響,是首很感人的歌曲~

copy自專輯介紹此曲的文案:一個男人拉開身體的拉鍊，發現裡面住著一位受了傷的小男孩，雙手緊握著「Love For A Child」這張泛黃的相片.....

There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
There's a party getting started in the yard
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

By the pool last night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
And they never check to see my grades
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd love to believe it's all about love for a child

It was all about love...

厨房的墙上挂着一幅画
画中像似上帝与他的至爱们同在
后院里正要开始一场派对
恋人们在路边停靠的车里缠绵
当年就看清这一切的我会不会太过年幼

昨晚在泳池边，记忆模糊
气氛不太对
你撞伤了头，又变得忘乎所以
醒来后发现躺在下水道口
而如今，你的深度(?)与回忆都让自己不齿

不如来上一杯
带着点点天真
我还没喝醉
可能因为年少，就容易被他人所忽略
而我宁愿相信，这就是所谓对一个孩子的爱

当家里一片狼藉
谁又留下来清理打碎的玻璃杯
是妈妈把爸爸赶出了家还是反一反
算了 这也已经不再重要

不如来上一杯
带着点点天真
我还没喝醉
可能因为年少，就容易被他人所忽略
而我宁愿相信，这就是所谓对一个孩子的爱

他们离婚后学着照顾自己也不赖
一直独享着一个人的圣诞与生日蛋糕
过早地与人做爱，还玩嗑药
没人在意我在学校的成绩
现在才开始抱怨我是不是有点傻

不如来上一杯
带着点点天真
我还没喝醉
可能因为年少，就容易被他人所忽略
而我宁愿相信，这就是所谓对一个孩子的爱


一切都是对孩子的爱...

nice！

楼上的两个，绝配阿，哈哈

谢谢各位了，差不多明白了:-)

很赞的一首歌

Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
这句一直没懂...
"是妈妈把爸爸赶出了家还是反一反"
这个解释还不错啊...

on one's ass 意思是“处境艰难”
可能意思是到底是妈妈先跟爸爸闹翻了还是反过来

是爸先为难妈还是妈先为难爸吧...

又是一首经典的歌曲，不愧是jason
现在年轻的爸妈离婚越来越多，
想想没人关注的小孩，
收敛些吧

I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes...

这句,按我的理解, 应该是在说离婚后的父母又重新建立起的两个家庭都会帮JM过圣诞和生日, 所以用了BOTH, 其后两个名词也都用了复数;而且除了可以在同一年重复过两个圣诞, 两个生日外, 父母也因为各自家庭的忙碌才疏于在意JM的在校成绩, 也没能在他过早就嗑药和性爱的时候加以管教, 所以才有了他后面那句讽刺的:What a fool I'd be to start complaining now?

JM在用非常乐观的态度看待多年前父母离异对他所产生的影响. 但其实众所周知这样的事情能对小孩有积极影响的是少之又少.我想除了JM本身希望他的音乐充满着POSITIVITY这一根本原因外, 更重要的是,用如此乐观的TONE调来描述负面的事情,其产生的化学作用与强烈的反差效果是非常明显的...

我也非常非常的喜欢这首，刚开始是喜欢i 'm your.后来迷上了这首

And now your altitude and memory's a shame
这句比较难理解，基本靠自己领会

我最爱这首

这首在我的心中超过i'm yours. 百听不厌！
