第一次听迈克尔•杰克逊的《Heal the world》就非常感动。
当清晰悦耳的声音由摇滚的天皇巨星唱出的时候,感受到的不是摇滚的力量与叛逆,而是纯净的像孩子一样的乞求的声音。
上个世纪80年代,巴以战争爆发,中东炮声隆隆,成了全世界关注的热点。战争带来的不仅是百姓的流离失所,也是无数人的生灵涂炭。那一年被定为国际和平年,迈克尔•杰克逊就带着《Heal the world》登上了世界,以一个摇滚巨星的身份,呼吁世界的和平。
我太喜欢迈克尔•杰克逊的歌了,但是这一首不是摇滚,而是一首包含深情的轻音乐,迈克尔用他那甜美的、包含深情的声音,呼吁用爱来化解仇恨,用爱来建设共同的美丽家园,从他的声音中能听到的是他的悲天悯人的情怀。
There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place it could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place You’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
If you want to know why
There’s a love that cannot lie
Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving
If we try We shall see
In this bliss We cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing And start living
Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for us growing
Make a better world Make a better world
Heal the world Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race

歌词很长,我几乎都背不下来;歌词也很美,我觉得翻译成中文都会让它黯然失色。这么多年我就这么五音不全地哼着唱着!
每年诞生的音乐很多,歌曲很多,但是真正能触及我这样冷若冰霜的人的灵魂的并不多,我想大多数时候是因为其中缺少了那种悲天悯人的情怀、缺少那种打动人心的力量吧。
