Pale Blue Eyes - The Velvet Underground & Lou Reed

其實這首歌剛開始聽到的時候就被他純淨的音樂吸引住, 並不認識這個樂團跟主唱, 只是很喜歡它簡單的歌詞及旋律. 歌詞是描寫愛上有夫之婦的複雜心情. 是由男的唱出來, 覺得很特別.

原來Lou Reed是最有影響力的美國搖滾樂手之一. 1942年出生於美國紐約州, 是The Velvet Underground(1965-1973)這個Rock搖滾樂團的吉他手,詞曲唱作, 與主唱, 是軸心成員, 於1970年離開這個樂團單飛.

Pale Blue Eyes 歌詞:

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but could'nt keep
I've had but could'nt keep

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves that you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
