託horance之福，乍聞這首歌，大為驚艶。網路的神奇，讓我輕易有了歌的mp3，也有了歌辭。如今連cd也入手了。 :)

Elliot Smith,"everything means nothing to me "

someone found the future as a statue in a fountain at
attention looking backward
in a bowl of water wishes with a blue songbird on his
shoulder who keeps singing over everything

everything means nothing to me

i picked up the song and found my picture
in the paper the reflection in the water shouted
";are you men still trying to salute
people from a time when he was
everything he's supposed to be?";

everything means nothing to me

我對英文的感受力遠不如中日文來得好，但是那關鍵性的一句"everything means nothing to me "，卻直唱到我心底。優雅淒楚的音樂流過耳際，不免生出「虚空的虚空，一切都是捉影，都是捕風」之感。説得更偏激些，執著的結局不過就是「幻滅」「無常」這兩個短詞所表現的感覺而已。
