[舊文] Me and Emily - Rachel Proctor
之前在543也算是水怪，但是不營養的文章比較多，這兩天在看以前的舊文，
順便挑了幾篇自己覺得比較有料的分享給大家～
---------------------------正文-----------------------------------
以家暴為背景的寫實歌曲一直以來許多歌手都曾經演唱過，詮釋上也各有千秋，
因為角度的不同，歌手表達出的情緒有憤怒也悲傷、有狂放也有內斂。
Rachel Proctor，雖然沒有出色的嗓音，但在這首歌的情緒拿捏恰到好處，把身
為一名受害者的心境詮釋得宜。歌詞描述因受不了丈夫對她的辱罵及暴力，為了
不讓女兒 emily同樣也遭受到魔爪，所以她帶著女兒離開傷心地。
三段的chorus明顯的帶出她心境的轉變，從不假思索的逃出、想著未來如何和女
兒解釋，到最後揮去陰霾面對展新的人生旅程，簡短幾句話，卻能完整的表露出
內心的掙扎。

Me and Emily 我和艾蜜莉
Floorboard's filled with baby toys, 地板上散落著嬰兒玩具
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups. 可樂空瓶和咖啡杯
Drivin' through the rain with no radio, 在雨中靜靜的開車
Tryin' not to wake her up. 怕把她吵醒
Cell 'phone says "low battery", 手機顯示著"電源不足"
God, what if I break down? 萬一我崩潰了怎麼辦？
I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights, 我只想找個出口
A safe little interstate town. 一個安全的角落
Just a cheap hotel, 一間旅店
With a single bed, 有張床
And cable TV: 和電視機
Is good enough for me an' Emily. 對我和Emily已足夠
Some day, when she's old enough, 總有一天
She's gonna start askin' questions about him. 她會問起關於他的事
Some kid at school brings his Dad for show an' tell, 學校同學會談論起"父親"
An' gets her little mind a-wonderin': 她幼小的心靈會產生疑問
"Where's my Daddy? Do I have one? "我的爸爸呢？我有嗎？"
"Does he not love me like you do?" "他跟妳一樣很愛我嗎？"
Maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us, 也許我該找個真正愛我們倆的人
An' I'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth.
直到她夠大時再說出事實
Will it break her heart? 她會傷心嗎？
Will she understand, 她能了解我為何要離開嗎？
That I had to leave? 那是
That's what was best for me an' Emily. 對我和Emily最好的選擇
That house was never clean enough; 房子不夠乾淨
his dinner never warm enough. 晚餐不夠溫熱
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy.他從不滿意我所做的每件事
So,I guess,he gave me what he thought I deserved, 我猜他已經表達出對我的回應
But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her.
但如果他把觸手伸向她，
我會忍受不了
Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield, 猛烈的雨勢拍打著擋風玻璃
An' I feel like they're laughin' at me. 似乎在嘲笑著我
Fin'lly the storm is lettin' up, 但風暴終究會停息
An' the mornin' is breakin' free. 晨曦破曉而出
It's a brand new day, 嶄新的一天
It's a second chance. 新的抉擇
Yesterday is just a memory, 對我和Emily來說
For me an' Emily. 昨日只是個回憶
Ah.
Floorboard's filled with baby toys, 地板上散落著嬰兒玩具
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups. 可樂空瓶和咖啡杯
Least there's one good thing that he gave me, 至少他給了我唯一的好處
An' she's startin' to wake up. 她..慢慢醒了
