刚刚看TED里Rives的演讲《凌晨四时的妙境》(视频地址:http://v.163.com/movie/2015/1/U/E/MAFCPGMC0_MAFDAQIUE.html)最后Rives讲到了他的一盘特殊来历的盒带,收录了这首歌,因为这首歌里也有一句”four in the morning“当演讲快要结束,音乐响起我已感动到泪流,所以我找来了这首歌。仿佛看到年轻的Rives在图书馆里边看书读诗边听着这首歌。正如他所说:”曾经我们都以为一切都是理所当然“。
Peace Like a River
歌手:Paul Simon
Ah, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew
We sat starry-eyed
Ooh, oh,we were satisfied
O-o-oh, when I remember
Misinformation followed us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time
If the plans were changed
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed.
You can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
You can run out your rules
But you know you can't outrun the history train
I seen a glorious day, aiee
Ah, four in the morning
I woke up from out of my dreams
Nowhere to go but back to sleep
But I'm reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while
