未曾有自我(I've Never Been to Me)

未曾有自我(I've Never Been to Me)是一首充满女性自觉的抒情歌曲。歌曲的叙述方式十分特别：描述一个历经沧桑的女人，见到一个因不满自己目下的生活、准备去追寻“自由”的怨妇，忍不住真挚地提出忠告“我自己也曾经有过放荡形骸的生活，甚至为追寻所谓的自由走遍了世界；而且凭借年轻和美貌，曾得到过别的女人做梦都不敢想的快乐时光；但是到头来却是一场空，等到年纪大了，发现自己追求的不过是镜花水月，甚至从未有过真正的自我”。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 虽然歌中唱的是劝告别人，但听起来却像是在规劝另一个自己，一个几十年前的自己。她规劝那位彷徨的妇女，“要好好珍惜自己的拥有，珍惜自己怀抱中的孩子，以及那经常拌嘴却是真心爱自己的丈夫”。她说自己虽然到过所谓的快乐“天堂”，却从来没未找到过自我，希望别人不要再重蹈她的覆辙。<BR><BR>

<P><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 这首歌早在1977即由美国女歌手夏琳(Charlene)灌唱，其后也曾经数次重录，或许是发行公司财力不够。宣传无门，问世没有多久就销声匿迹。终于本歌在1982年被一位电台DJ发掘，在自己的节目中密集的播放，从而老曲新红，一年后拿下全美排行榜第三和英国第一的好成绩。但是夏琳(Charlene)本人的星途却远非一帆风顺，另外唱了一些歌都反响平平，1980年代中期就彻底消失歌坛了。不过这首未曾有自我(I've Never Been to Me)却一直传唱至今，成了夏琳唯一的一首畅销曲。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 台湾艺人黄莺莺早在歌曲在美国走红前慧眼识珠，发现并翻唱了这首曲子；前段时间又听说火爆一时的青春少女组合SHE也翻唱了本曲。黄莺莺的版本由于太老，所以没能找来对比；而SHE的版本则明显稚嫩了很多，不过想来也是，几个二十出头就风光一时的年轻女孩，又怎能演绎得出这样深刻的中年沧桑呢。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 读书时，父母长辈经常告诫我们，人生中充满着选择，每个人都必须为自己的选择承担后果，因此抉择必须慎重，三思而后行。而年轻的我们则往往只是把这些告诫当做陈辞滥调，常常为了眼前的方便或者一时的痛快，而做出了令自己后悔莫及的事情。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 另一方面，我们又总是被世俗的“乐土”（Paradise）的定义所羁绊。随着浮躁的社会风气，我们茫然的追求着“白领、外企、高薪、出国”。很多人因此牺牲了自己的家庭、爱情；放弃了自己真正钟意的爱好；而埋首于报表、试卷甚至觥筹交错之间。一厢情愿的说“有了票子、房子、车子，就会找到快乐的”。其实，你去寻找那所谓的“乐土”的时候，真正的幸福正从你的身边溜走。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 希望当我们两鬓斑白时，不要发出“I've never been to me”的叹息。<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<STRONG>在线收听：</STRONG><BR>&nbsp;<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <STRONG>I've Never Been to Me / Charlene</STRONG><BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But, I wish someone had talked to me<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Like I wanna talk to you.....<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise but I've never been to me<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I can see so much of me still living in your eyes<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [spoken]<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hey, you know what paradise is?<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But you know what truth is?<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The same one you're going to make love with tonight<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That's truth, that's love......<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hey lady......<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise) <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But I've never been to me<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, never been to me<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, never been to me<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, never been to me<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been to paradise, never been to me</P>
