Eva Cassidy--- Fields Of Gold
Eva Cassidy Live At Blues Alley--- Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky,
when we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love, for to gaze awhile,
among the fields of barley,
In his arms she fell as her hair came downamong the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my loveAmong the fields of barley?
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
when we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly,
and there have been some that i have broken,
but i swear in the days still left we will walk in fields of gold,
we will walk in fields of gold
(instrumental)
I never made promises lightly,
and there have been some that i have broken,
but i swear in the days still left we will walk in fields of gold,
we will walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down,
as you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
when we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

來談談這首歌
這首歌，是我在星巴克工作的時候聽到的
那段學生打工的日子
不論是在景點的淡水河岸
還是在充滿著生老病死的醫院門市
每當到晚上關店前的打掃
事實上心是最孤寂的
在一整天的消耗過後
聽到這首歌，突然有種被看穿的感覺
Eva Cassidy 是個出生於美國的歌手
因非常出色的詮釋而出名
於 1996 因罹患皮膚癌而過世 (當時她才33歲)
她生前除了在 Washington, D.C. 以外
幾乎沒人聽過她，更別說聽過她唱的歌了
但在 2000 年，Eva Cassidy 過世四年後
英國的 BBC Radio2 在個偶然的情形下
播放了她所唱的 "Over the Rainbow”
因而一舉成名
這一切的”成功”都發生在她辭世之後
也許你會因而為她惋惜
但是熟悉 Eva 的朋友都不這麼想
他們說 Eva 是個非常非傳統，不注重物質
極度害羞又敏感且固執的人
他們覺得如果 Eva 在生前得到這樣的注目，
她很可能會排斥因為聲名大噪給她帶來的種種困擾
不管如何
在他逝世這麼多年後
人們聽到他的聲音仍被深深感動
我相信有許多人
用著他們自己的方式對他哀悼
當我們走到生命的盡頭
回過身檢視一生的過往
我們會希望留下些什麼？
