年紀越大越覺得芭辣情歌的重要性不可言喻。因為有些苦，破碎的夢，其實都可以在裡頭找到似曾相識的影子。有些歌曲再怎麼俗氣，它卻三言兩語道盡你人生的苦悶。我一直覺的搖滾麥克在九零年代之前歌曲很能做到通俗易懂又觸動心弦。這種感覺就好像是那天我在音響展上看到張惠妹演唱會正唱到解脫這首名曲時，鏡頭帶到觀眾席發覺有個女孩已經潸然淚下是一樣的道理。然後攝影者竟然還給她來個特寫！這實在是太恐怖了，因為隨著DVD的流傳，永遠會有人猜測她究竟是張惠妹歌唱得太好而哭，還是解脫這首歌打到她的內心深處而悸動？你認為呢？

八成是她也苦過嘛，這還用說嗎？

而搖滾麥克這首歌曲雖然不是那麼膾炙人口，卻簡單明瞭地告訴你錯過是怎樣一回事…

錯過還能有補考的機會嗎？

在這方面，人生可遠比學業殘酷啊……

（最近可能書讀太少，所以翻譯一直很糟糕……＝＝）

（我覺得missed應該翻譯成懷念較佳，不知大家的想法如何？）

"25 Minutes"

After some time I've finally made up my mind

She is the girl and I really want to make her mine

I'm searching everywhere to find her again

To tell her I love her

And I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done 

I find her standing in front of the church

The only place in town where I didn't search

She looks so happy in her weddingdress

But she's crying while she's saying this 

[Chorus:]

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is

Twentyfive minutes too late

Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are

Twentyfive minutes too late 

Against the wind I'm going home again

Wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends 

But still I see her in front of the church

The only place in town where I didn't search

She looked so happy in her weddingdress

But she cried while she was saying this 

[Chorus:]

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is

Twentyfive minutes too late

Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are

Twentyfive minutes too late 

Out in the streets

Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat

Inside my head

Still I can hear the words she said 

[Chorus:]

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is

Twentyfive minutes too late

Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are

Twentyfive minutes too late 

I can still hear her say.......
