Peter Paul and Mary-Blowing in the wind

Peter Paul and Mary-Blowing in the wind

Blowing in the wind是美国越战期间,Bob Dylan为了反战而写的歌曲,不过后来却是被乐团Peter Paul and Mary唱红了。

歌词一开始就让人们反思,到底怎么样的人,才够格被称为男子汉?是要像传统思想一样,英勇善战,面对敌人绝不手下留情吗?或许在当时的情况下,大家反战的情绪高张,屹立不摇的铁汉形相已不再能表现出人们心目中得真男人,反而是象征和平的白鸽形相更受到人们喜欢。

这首歌在当时以反战为背景而深得人心,但我想,即使这首歌不以战争为背景,一样有它发人深省的地方,在这里我以一个抛开战争的观点来诠释这首歌。它诉说得是每个人心中刚强与柔弱的一面,固然够刚强才能够坚持己见,不为外在杂物所动摇,但太刚强是会伤人的,如果自己只是一味的固执己见,那么身旁的人或许会认为他们对我们自己来说是微不足道的,因为他们的苦口婆心丝毫不能影响我们一点想法,他们的哭喊对我们来说只像噪音一样,丝毫无法博得我们那么一点同情。

以这种抛开战争的观点来看这首歌,或许少了些什么,但谁说,攸关性命的存活的事一定比关于心情好坏的事情重要或沉重呢?

这首歌之所以以Blowing in the Wind为名,我想是因为人类的一切仇恨都是微不足道的,一切争执都是不足以引发战争的,所以,就该放手,让这些如尘土般微小的纷争随风而去吧!

 

最后,也附上 Bob Dylan 的经典版本:
