音乐咖啡厅:And So It Goes
And So It Goes
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary 1 safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke 2 to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense 3
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is myself defense 4
For every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

她的嗓音就像加州的天气,充满了阳光,但背后却又隐藏着这地震般强大的能量”。这是加拿大著名的诗人歌手Leonard Cohen给珍妮佛华恩斯最与众不同的赞美,同时也十分真切地点名了多才多艺的演员/作曲家/歌手珍妮佛华恩斯之所以被美国流行乐坛公认为最伟大的女性艺人的重要特质。曾由她原唱或翻唱的歌曲,原唱者虽然个个赫赫有名,但是透过珍妮佛转折巧妙,情感丰富的嗓音重新诠释之后,俨然又塑造出另一种经典版本。喜欢珍妮佛华恩斯作品的乐迷,势必对她善于揉和忧伤、喜乐、感怀与念旧等情绪的歌声有难舍的迷恋,特别是当听她唱到高贵亲情、失落爱情的全然投入时,气氛就像一股超强的磁场,能远远地吸住路人的注意力。
