某種程度 我們都是彼此的鏡子吧!
The Velvet Underground樂團對美國搖滾樂有深遠的影响。往後十幾年的摇滾樂有很多都跟随他們的腳步,承襲他們的意識。 在那個高唱和平的嬉皮年代裡,V.U.提出反時代潮流的看法,訴說了對社會的無力感,使摇滾樂不再只是單纯的音樂,而是充滿自省。當时很多人受V.U.的啓發,組成樂團的不在少數,足以看出他們的影響力。雖然這首歌基本上是團裡的靈魂人物Lou Reed為心所愛慕的Nico所作的,但誰不是我們的鏡子呢?站在世事的面前,大家有何嘗不是彼此的鏡子?
歌詞如下
I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty that you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I'll be your mirror
