Rainbow Connection / song by The Carpenters

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered,
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic ............

Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it,
It's something that I'm s'posed to be .......
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me .........

最近JET TV又在重播『好想好想談戀愛』了。我好喜歡它的主題曲，木匠兄妹的『Rainbow Connection』，常三不五時就著我記得的歌詞隨性亂哼了起來。

劇中的紫村一郎（算是配角吧），表面上是暢銷作家，還主持了一個愛情方面的談話性節目，但現實生活中他是一個病態又負心的人。

某一回他在主持的節目中說，人為什麼要談戀愛，因為人都是怕寂寞的，但如果你老是表現出一副好寂寞好寂寞的樣子，反而沒有人願意接近你，於是越來越寂寞…（這是大概的意思啦）

於是，我們常裝堅強：沒關係、你忙你的、我無所謂、噢、好啊、隨便、你想怎樣就怎樣…

不想讓對方知道自己有多麼需要他，因為如此一來，就變成了弱勢的一方；害怕讓他感到壓力之後，就想要逃跑。

但是，什麼都不說，依然越來越寂寞。這真是門難拿捏的溝通藝術。

這齣戲很有趣哪，幾個主角配角的關係巧妙地交錯在一起，劇情雖淡淡的，不過是我喜歡的類型，看著覺得心情也很舒服。

大概剩沒幾集了，有興趣的人也去看看吧。
