掰咔音乐小站

可以的话，我想穿过生活的迷雾，寻找希望与梦想的曾经呆过的地方，那是我的另一个家– Toobe

Vienna Teng(维也纳·邓)，中文名史逸欣，华裔美籍女歌手，毕业于斯坦福大学计算机专业，曾是电脑软件工程师，之后放弃高薪职位，选择了钢琴，致力于音乐创作，很欣赏她，不只是声线，音乐才华，还有她的个性，她的选择，佩服她的敢于选择。

听到她的第一首歌便是这首Homecoming，选自她05年的专辑《Warm Strangers》，清亮而又亲切的钢琴声里流出抑扬顿挫又不生硬的咬音，前者古典，后者澄澈，令人倍感温暖。愈听愈轻柔，愈听愈安静，我不停地倒放，珍视这一刻难得的幽篁与安静，就像电影《神行太保》里面林俊贤喜欢重复听一首歌，他在车内对同恩说，这样就可以不停地快乐… …

试听：Homecoming

英文歌词：

it’s desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears
hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears
that I was born in North Carolina
not an hour from her home town
and we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball

and there’s a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is
we’ve been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives
where my days are strips of highway
and she’s wiping tables down
holding on and still waiting for that windfall

but I’ve come home
even though I’ve never had so far to go
I’ve come home

I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill
head across the street where VACANCY is burning in neon still
well the night eats up my body heat
and there’s no sign of another
and I find myself slipping down into that black

but things are good I’ve got a lot of followers of my faith
I’ve got a whole congregation living in my head these days
and I’m preaching from the pulpit
to cries of “Amen brother”
closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back

and I’ve come home
even though I swear I’ve never been so alone
I’ve come home

I just want to be living as I’m dying
just like everybody here
just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile
and I don’t know where I’m driving to
but I know I’m getting old
and there’s a blessing in every moment every mile

thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups
old Gideons Bible in the nightstand drawer saying “Go on open up”
well I’ll kneel down on the carpet here
though I never was sure of God
think tonight I’ll give Him the benefit of the doubt

I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed
her hair falling all around me
I smile and shake my head
well we all write our own endings
and we all have our own scars
but tonight I think I see what it’s all about

because I’ve come home
I’ve come home
