<img src="http://www.hereinmyhead.com/collect/choir/fcghcd.jpg" style="float:right">"northern lad"是专辑“From the Choirgirl Hotel”中我最喜欢的一首歌,Tori唱得很悲伤,每每在深夜听,我总要动情地哭泣。

我一直觉得"From the Choirgirl Hotel"里漫着一股淡墨色的情味,就像……森林小径上的黎明,天亮前的微光;虽然有光,但天还是黑的,还有清晨独有的带着糖味的清冷的风——这种感觉必须是天亮前起床走出去才能知晓。
"From the Choirgirl Hotel"是张结构上很完整的专辑,其他专辑没有这一个特点。
"Northern Lad"蛮“淡墨黎明”的。
对我而言,Northern Lad这首歌说的是意识到原来自己一相情愿认为的事实并非如此,它告诉我们即使倍受打击,但也要坚强地走下去,生活就是这样。
"I thought we'd be OK, me and my molasses. But I feel something is wrong.
But I feel this cake just isn't done."在一段感情中,也许我们高估了自己.当意识到事实并非如此的时候,失望,伤心,悲愤,欲绝?但生活在继续啊,不管愿不愿意,我们必须得向前进,因为一切都变得不同了,要面对现实.
怪不得Tori的音乐改变了很多人的人生,给许多人活下去的勇气。唉,在我痛苦的时候,与听Portishead不同,Beth的声音让我更down,down,down,痛得个淋漓尽致,听Tori的音乐则能安抚我.
