When I was a teenage,
I have feelings for several singers
in different time periods—
all of them were in my “dream lover” category.
However, these “dream lovers” can’t become
real-life lovers of mine,
because if their images were truly real,
their personalities, life experiences,
and their life styles
wouldn’t suit them to be my partner.
Now I seldom have feelings for
a new-generation singer on the premise of
being a “dream lover” ,
because our age gap is too big,
and their carefully crafted “persona images”
often don’t match my character.
But that doesn’t mean I never have
a good impression of anyone.
Sometimes I end up being
attracted to a new singer
because of their talents for composing,
the content of their lyrics, or
their attitude toward creating music.
Without having any "dream lover"
appearing in my dream,
it’s hard not to feel a little lonely.
讀書時,在不同時段,
喜歡過幾位歌星,
都是「夢中情人」級數的。
其實這些「夢中情人」,
不可能成為現實中的情人,
因為她們的形象若是真實,
她們的性格、經歷及生活風格等
都不適合作為我的情人的。
現在很少以「夢中情人」的前提
去喜歡新一代的歌星了,
因為年齡差距太大,
而且他們太刻意的「人設形象」
往往不合我的性格。
但可也不是完全沒有喜歡的。
有時會因為作曲的天份、歌詞的內容,
或創作的態度,
去喜歡一個新歌星的。
夢中少了情人出現,
難免有點寂寞。
Kate Bush - The Man with the Child in His Eyes
I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love is 'til eternity
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
When I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever!"
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
