Maaya Sakamoto's "Another Grey Day in the Big Blue World." Mp3

Here are the lyrics:
And now she wakes to another grey day
In the Big Blue World
And her room's a tiny cage for a golden bird
O where did love go?

And now the baby, that looks like him,
Starts to cry again
And again, again, eternally over again
Do rivers ever end?

Count a thousand drops of rain
Washed down the drain
Is life the same, in a way?

Catch the bus that never comes
Clouds block the sun
Is life the same, in a way?

What will tomorrow bring?
Will birds sing?

And now the flowers in the window box
Seem to bow their heads
As she sits and stares with eyes, sad circles of red
where did love go?

Never a letter or a call
A knock upon the door
So much like life, in a way

Watch the hands move round the clock
Tie time in knots
Life does the same, in a way

What will tomorrow bring?
Will birds sing?

Let the birds sing!

And now she sleeps in an empty bed
Through a starless night
But she dreams of snow-white doves
Bringing branches of love
maybe that's enough

Count a thousand drops of rain
Washed down the drain
Is life the same, in a way?

Catch the bus that never comes
Clouds block the sun
Is life the same, in a way?

Never a letter or a call
A knock upon the door
So much like life, in a way

Watch the hands move round the clock
Tie time in knots
Life does the same, in a way

What will tomorrow bring?
Will birds sing?

「他鄉是一面負向的鏡子。旅人認出那微小的部份是屬於他的,卻發現那龐大的部份是他未曾擁有,也永遠不會擁有的。」──卡爾維諾《看不見的城市》

「你想要旅行嗎?要旅行的話,你只要存在就行。」
「如果我想像什麼,我就能看見它。如果我旅行的話,我會看得到更多的東西嗎?只有想像的極端貧弱,才能為意在感受的旅行提供辯解。」
「生活全看我們是如何把它造就。旅行者本身就是旅行。我們看到的,並不是我們所看到的,而是我們自己。」
想像的極端貧弱,一語中的。
但我的確明白,我只看見自己,我也只想看見自己。

想像
「不能成為什麼,但能想像什麼,這是真正的御座。不能要求什麼,但能欲望什麼,這是真正的皇冠。任何由我們放棄的東西,都會由我們完整無缺地保留在自己的夢中。」
「對我們自己來說,我們的個性甚至都是無法看透的:這就是為什麼我們的職責就是不斷夢想,包括夢想我們自己,不可能對自己持有什麼定見。」──費爾南多‧佩索亞《惶然錄》
想像總是無用。
因為未來總是與揣測的預想不符。
比想像更加荒謬。
也不必說,更加真實。

下雨稍歇的片刻,在湖岸邊

雙腳踩在Bodensee

想好好利用sommerticket再跑出去

12-14.07.2011 Wangen (Allgaeu)-Bodensee-Feldkrich-Innsbruck Reisen
這是我的收穫
