這前奏,加上腦海中看過的海地災民容顏,我想到...這世上受了傷卻努力活著的人有多少啊!海地地震後死傷數十萬人,英、美兩地的流行樂壇都展開了義唱,而英國歌手們就選唱了R. E. M.樂團 1992 年的作品Everybody hurts。

原來在80 年代還算另類的R. E. M.樂團在90 年代後,成為主流團體,安德森音樂倉庫的老安說他們境遇頗似英國的 U2 合唱團,深表同意。此曲本是該團鼓手 Bill Berry為那些有自殺傾向的人們所寫,希望能帶給生活過得並不順遂的人們一點心靈的安藉。

海地地震已過了一年多,當地切仍百廢待舉,災民所住之處就如難民營一般,深受被營區男性強暴之苦的女性,得不到該有的支援與照顧,已經成為生活景況最不堪的ㄧ群女性 ...

 

Everybody hurts歌詞
R. E. M.樂團 (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
