[ 你清醒了嗎??? ( copy from F B ) ~~似乎言之有理喔!]
*Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes(*)
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on(*)
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong(*)
"情歌迷死人"的作曲者之所以寫出這首作品,是因為他在某個偶然的機會,於一家pub聽到了唐麥克林(Don McLean,曾寫出Vincent, America Pie等經典名曲)在台上以吉他自彈自唱的動人歌聲而為之傾倒,從此成為他的歌迷,經常到現場點歌、聆賞,後來並寫出了這首歌,描述他第一次聽唐麥克林唱歌的情景。
