บางทีช่วงที่เซ็งๆ หน่ายๆ ก็มักเข้า Youtube ฟังเพลงที่มันช่วยกระตุกจิตสำนึกบ้าง
เสน่ห์อย่างหนึ่งของเพลงสากล (จริงๆ คือเพลงภาษาอังกฤษ) คือ มีเนื้อหาที่หลากหลายกว่าเพลงไทยที่มักจะไม่พ้นเรื่องรัก โลภ โกรธ หลง ฟังแล้วจะพาใจให้หลงผิด ยิ่งยึดติดในอารมณ์ต่างๆ แน่นขึ้นไปอีก เช่น เศร้าอยู่แล้วก็จะเศร้าปางตาย บางครั้งถึงขั้นฆ่าตัวตาย สุขอยู่แล้วก็จะหลงติดสุข คิดว่ามันจะแฮปปี้เอ็นดิ้งแบบเทพนิยายดิสนีย์ ฯลฯ
เพลงที่จะแนะนำในวันนี้ ตามความคิดของผม คือหนึ่งในเพลงที่เนื้อหาดีที่สุด เท่าที่เคยได้ฟังมา(แม้จะบิ้วท์อารมณ์ไปหน่อย) คนแต่งคงตั้งใจให้เป็นสูตรสำเร็จ ถ้าเปรียบกับหนังก็เป็นหนังดราม่าหวังชิงออสการ์ ไม่ใชหนังสุดโต่งที่ต้องตีความหรือแหวกตลาดแบบพวกที่ฉายในเทศกาลซันแดนส์
เนื้อเพลงมีดังนี้ ...
LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING by Tim McGraw.
Verse 1
He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said
Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then
Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Bridge
Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin' (4x)
He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?

He said

And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter

To live like you were dyin'

สำหรับคนไม่เคยฟังเพลง ตามลิ้งก์นี้ไปครับ
ช่วงที่กินใจสุด รู้สึกว่ามันพีคสุดในเพลงก็คือ
"And I spoke sweeter
And I loved deeper
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying..."
And I loved deeper
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying..."
มันแฝงความเจ็บปวด เพราะที่ผ่านมาเราอาจจะไม่ได้ทำดีกับคนที่เรารักอย่างเพียงพอ
ไม่ได้ชื่นชมยินดีในความรักที่ใครต่อใครให้มอบให้เรา และที่สำคัญ เราไม่เคยให้อภัยใครบางคนเลย...
สุดท้ายขอฝากทุกคนว่า
I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying...
