連結是Andrew Bird的Sifters
超愛Andrew Bird的聲音和常常很忙的live
更愛這首超美的歌
有著引人遐想的歌詞搭上優美旋律與歌聲
而在背景又有什麼彈撥如日月精華點滴積聚的感覺
很適合睡前聽
歌詞由許多假設構成
　
如果聲響如浪潮如海上的浪潮
　月亮演奏著海洋像演奏著小提琴
　牽動著岸與岸，那是你不曾聽過的盛大樂曲
　如果我是這片夜空
　那這就是我離去的搖籃曲　
　如果我和你並非出生在同個年代
你75歲而我9歲
　我會去找你嗎？帶著餅乾前往那古老的房子找你
　你會獨自待在那裡嗎？
……
接著那個夏日光焰有點太浪漫了
以下是引人遐想的歌詞
Sifters
If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
Biggest melody you never heard before
What if I were the night sky
Here's my lullaby to leave by
What if we hadn't been born at the same time
What if you were 75 and I were 9
Would I come visit you
Bring you cookies in an old folks home
Would you be there alone
And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms
Will I remember to breathe? No, I never will
And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm
Just want to show you how not to need
What if I were the night sky
Here's my lullaby to leave by
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time
Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime
Would I rock you to sleep
Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep
Would I still miss you
Or would you then have been mine
If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
有點可惜的是這首這版本好像沒什麼 live
就跟 Iron & Wine 近期都沒有 The Sea and The Rhythm 的現場一樣
啊啊兩首歌都大推
