  Hello
  Do you remember me?
  I am your long lost pen pal
  It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
  I don’t really know what happened
  I guess life came in the way
  Let me know if you’re still alive
  Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
  
  Hello
  Yes, I remember you
  I’ve got a husband and two children now
  I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
  I still have your letters
  You used a pink pen to write them
  And you would comfort me
  When my tears would stain the ink
  And I would send you 2)mixtapes with 3)Kate Bush on
  
  *I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
  Tried to make life better than it was
  I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
  And I still need a friend*
  
  There was this letter
  I never told you this back then
  But it would be fair to say it saved my life
  I sat in the window
  The only one 4)left out from the party again
  Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
  Then I checked the mailbox
  
  Dear long lost pen pal
  I was lying the whole time
  I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
  I have three children and a wife
  She doesn’t care
  And I hope you don’t resent me
  And I hope that you don’t hate me
  For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young
  
  Repeat *
  
  你好
  你还记得我吗?
  我是你失散已久的笔友
  上次通信已是十年前的事了
  我不太清楚后来发生了什么
  我想是繁忙的生活阻碍了我们的交往
  告诉我,你是否还活着
  告诉我,你是否用过那把刀
  
  你好
  是的,我记得你
  我现在有了一个丈夫和两个孩子
  我当上了会计,收入还算不错
  我还留着你写来的信
  你过去常用粉红墨水笔给我写信
  你给我带来安慰
  我的泪水会沾湿你的笔墨
  我还会给你寄一些收录了凯特·布什音乐的歌曲合集
  
  *我得承认,我有时会在那些信里撒谎
  试图把生活描绘得比现实中的要好
  我直到十六岁还不曾有初吻
  且我仍需要一个朋友*
  
  你曾写给我这封信
  我那时从未告诉过你
  但老实说,它救了我的命
  我那时坐在窗边
  是唯一一个再次没获邀参加派对的人
  我很确定,我一个朋友都没有
  于是,我打开邮箱
  
  亲爱的失散已久的笔友
  过去我一直都在对你撒谎
  我其实是个名叫卢克,已46岁的男人
  我有一个妻子和三个孩子
  我妻子对我漠不关心
  我希望你不会怨恨我
  我希望你不会讨厌我
  因为我只是想找回年轻的感觉
  
  重复*
  
  Hello Saferide这支瑞典乐队的主唱是2007年度瑞典格莱美奖最佳女艺人、最佳歌曲作者两项大奖的获得者Annika Norlin。她10岁开始写歌,直到2004年,她偶然录制了自己创作的“Highschool Stalker(《高中跟踪狂》)”这首关于天真浪漫的小女生跟踪心爱的小男生的歌,并放到互联网上,之后她迅速窜红并很快得到一纸合约。2005年,她推出了首张专辑Introducing...Hello Saferide。2008年4月,Hello Saferide在北京和广州进行了两场酒吧演出。
  “Long Lost Pen Pal”讲述的是两个一老一少的笔友之间平凡动人的故事,而关于其创作灵感来源,Annika Norlin说:“我十四岁的时候曾交过几百个笔友,我总是在家里不停地写信,但是现在和他们都失去了联系。我偶尔会想他们现在都去哪了,他们过得怎么样。”
  偶然我也会思念起我那唯一的笔友,虽然我们只通过一封信,还是在许多年前的一个深秋里。我已忘了她的名字,却依旧记得那张泛黄的信笺,她说她喜欢纸张上淡淡的怀旧的味道。那时,我们的心因为同样忧伤迷茫而相互吸引,相互靠近。不知道现在,她的身边有没有能让她的心一直暖着的人。一直固执地认为有些人,有些事属于过去,应该让它们都随风而逝,而不要吵醒记忆,所以即使有幸在茫茫人海中和她擦肩而过时能认出她来,我想,我也不会停下脚步。
  孤独的心需要抚慰,哪怕那样的抚慰是跨越时空的。如今,当“曾想找回年轻感觉”的卢克和那个感叹自己“直到十六岁还不曾有初吻”的女孩终于可以坦诚相对,道出自己的真实身份、真实过往,相信他们仍会为那段黑暗日子里,有个人陪自己一同走过而深感庆幸。

俗语说:“病从口入,祸从口出”。语言的力量有多大?你可以因为别人一句话而怒不可遏,也可以因为别人一句话而心花怒放。你的心情真的会因为别人有心或无意的话语而起伏不定。那么,有没有人想过,我们的思维方式很大程度上是由我们所说的语言决定吗?有人说,法国人浪漫,德国人务实,这只是一种民族性情吗?还是说他们的语言在决定着他们的个性和思考方向呢?  东方人对蓝眼睛有着别样的着迷,而西方人对黑发怀着另类的欣赏,
