回复 1楼pwwp的帖子 我在这封给一个美国朋友的email里,写了这首作品的创作过程。 Texas is my first stop when I first came to the state in XXX, I just love and miss it. That is why I wrote this lyric. Maybe it is for a country music song which I started listening and fell in love there too. I would not like to call it a poem. I still prefer keep the simple words, which would best fit a country music lyric. In this piece, all places or scenes I mentioned are those deeply ironed in my memory. Back then when I felt lonely, especially on weekends, I drove my very old car (really old one, cost me 800 bucks, a pretty big number then for me, haha) to countryside. The farms, bluebonnets, hay rolls all left deep impression on my memory. I just loved it. For San Antonio night walk, It happened right after I arrived in Texas, one or two month. Some guys in my group walked there together with me, all Americans but me. I really liked the river and bars, the music, and the decoration lights along. A young lady from our group looped her arm through mine so naturally while chatting. And everyone felt no big deal and still talked about which bar we should go. But for me, that was something never happened to me. I just arrived in USA, maybe still a bit earthy? haha. Anyway, that impressed me a lot then. For El Paso sunset, that is what I saw out of a greyhound bus window on my way to Mexico to renew my visa. I was planning to use the renewed visa to go back to China to get married with my then girlfriend and then back to US together. It was possible, though, that I might not get the visa approval and maybe I could be refused to re-entry to the US. Stuck in Mexico by myself? A bit nervous. And getting married then still put some pressures on me. I doubted that I was ready but my girlfriend was very ready. That complicated feeling, the sunset......all sealed in my memory. By the way, I got the visa, but the relationship did not work out. My then girlfriend and I broke up right before my planned trip to China. Long distance relationship, you know. For quite some time, I felt quite down wondering if my life was doomed to be miserable like this. Later I met S, very soon I realized that I was wrong, my life could just go way worse....haha. kidding. For the cowgirls part, one Saturday night when I walked back from campus to my apartment, a pickup truck stopped near me for a red light and one of the few girls sitting/standing on the pickup bed jokingly asked me: "hi! you want to party with us tonight?" Then all girls laughed. Some of them wore white shirts and blue jeans, one or two even wore cowboy hats. Looks really cool and hot. But I pretended I did not hear that and kept walking. The pickup then drove away, yet I still could hear the laughing. All based upon true stories, I would say. I just want to share with you about the story behind as more as possible. Actually you are the first one to know all these. haha. Here also are the links for your reference too, it is about night river walk, bluebonnets and the bats.
后来我到了纽约,关于对纽约的感情,我这首诗里,也有很好的表达 Perfect Distance Often I drive on 278, curving alongside a splendid panorama of Manhattan's stunning skyline. By day, the stately skyscrapers, steeply rooted into the river, seem somber; but by night, they ignite, illuminated by enigmatic lights, enchanting and entrancing like De Sterrennacht. And on those drives, I think: it does not belong to me, nor do I belong to it, but we have a perfect harmony within our perfect distance.

I believe everyone’s 1st stop in the state will always be the deepest & sweetest memory in their hearts, no matter where it is and how tough the life back then, because we all came here naked, naive and most importantly, young. 生如夏花.

我以前写过的一篇短文 一生最难忘最幸福的时光 网上读了叶明明写的《父亲叶浅予和我的三个妈妈》一文,写的很淡然,却让人觉得很真实,也很敬佩她能照顾三个妈妈终老。更让我生出些感想,尤其是对文章里的几句话。 一是,年轻时的叶浅予厌倦了婚姻和家庭生活,“离家出走”,和认识没多久的新爱在北京的三天,看戏,游玩。这短短几天,竟是他在先后经历初恋、分手、结婚、离婚、再结、再离、再结、丧偶独鳏后,晚年总结自己这一生时“我终生难忘的最幸福的日子”。这可是一个活了近90岁的老人,回首自己一生情感往事时的感悟。 二是,文中,也写了他和戴爱莲相识结婚和离婚分手的经过。叶浅予晚年丧偶后独自一人,戴爱莲和他离婚后,也是再结再离。叶明明撮合两位老人复婚或者重新再在一起生活,互相关照什么时,戴爱莲却说,“我不能和你父亲复婚,因为我心里始终忘不了我初恋的爱人。” 戴爱莲的这位初恋爱人是英国雕塑家威利·苏考普。当年风华正茂的戴爱莲在英国时和他相遇,也是很短的一段时间(大概也就几个星期),就彼此深爱上对方,但这个时候苏考普已经订婚,未婚妻是一位银行家的女儿。情非得已,戴远走中国,躲避这段我想是她最珍视、最难以忘怀的爱情。 苏考普晚年丧妻后,戴爱莲终于成了他的身边人,彼此的晚年伴侣。可俩人在英国一起生活了没多久,苏考普就于1995年去世了。同一年,在中国,叶浅予也与世长辞,享年88岁。 11年后,戴爱莲去世,享年90岁。 不长的文章里不多的人,跨越近乎一个世纪。 忍不住就感慨,人一生,最快乐,最幸福,最难以忘怀,最愿意追忆的时光,其实可能就那么几天,几个星期……那么短,有时候衬的一生那么悠长;可又那么难忘,又让一生有了从没有的具体和真实。 闲着无事翻看身边的报纸,《廊桥遗梦》(The Bridges of Madison County)现在改编成话剧正在百老汇上演。重新看报纸上的故事梗概,竟有了从来没有过的感受。 就想女人的一生,老去后,应该有个生前不为任何人所知的小箱子——里面有些情书,泛黄的照片,几本日记,几件有岁月痕迹并见证过自己当年情感的饰物或纪念物。 足够了,不能再放更多了。存折,金条,房产证,股票……这些都太世俗了。当然,理想和惬意的状态是,她一生从来没有为这些世俗的事烦恼过、操心过,这让她有足够的淡然和雍容追求或追忆自己一生精神世界里的唯美情感。 我很喜欢的美国歌手Margaret Whiting的“My own true love”,大家一起欣赏下:
All the Way to Texas
Hit the gas As hard as I could get I am all the way to Texas Don't tell me getting hot down there I am all the way to Texas Goodbye those I missed, and those on my side
All the way to Texas I miss the Lone Star Flag Flying over the blue sky And the blooming Bluebonnet All over the countryside
I miss the Longhorn and hay rolls Even the millions of free-tailed bats over my head On a lonely summer night
All the way to Texas I miss the honks and the speed on highways Even the unwavering finger out the pickup's window I miss the restroom key in that shabby gas station Chained to a big tire
I miss the walk at night Along San Antonio's wandering riverside And the heart touching El Paso sunset
All the way to Texas I miss the humongous burgers and fries And the naughty banjos sounds
I miss cowgirls' belt buckles and boots Blue jeans and white shirts The hottest girls always in my mind Don't tell me getting hot down there I am all the way to Texas Hit the gas As hard as I could get I am all the way to Texas

这段路以前从凤凰城开车去赌城也走过,真是难忘。只有起伏,没有弯曲。笔直的一条大道通天。阳光灿烂,天空湛蓝。路两侧远处是红色的石头山。近处是高大的古老仙人掌林。傍晚走,满天彩霞,更是美得让人沉醉。
也對
唉
原來我以為是三千後宮
結果只是 百來情婦村
少了一個半數量級
当然,第一次从达拉斯经 San Antonio 去 Corpus Christi,就是走的那段高速,还记得第一次看到仙人掌的惊喜,后来来来去去却再也没走过那段,哎

从一分40秒开始
poem or lyric, it just does not matter, the love, the emotion, matter, right?
你读了觉不觉得感情好真挚好真挚么? 没有差点就站不稳一下崴脚就爱上了么的冲动么?
Perfect Distance
Often I drive on 278, curving alongside a splendid panorama of Manhattan's stunning skyline. By day, the stately skyscrapers, steeply rooted into the river, seem somber; but by night, they ignite, illuminated by enigmatic lights, enchanting and entrancing like De Sterrennacht. And on those drives, I think: it does not belong to me, nor do I belong to it, but we have a perfect harmony within our perfect distance.
要咋说好呢?!歪歪,对你的崇拜如滔滔江水
感情是很真挚 就是不够热烈
谢谢,后面排队就好!!! 哈哈, 谢谢啦~~~ 我对去过的好多城市,都有好眷恋的感情,哪怕只是短暂的停留。。。
我知道一夜情、几夜情不应缠绵纠结,但我还是会思念。。。
我创作这首《一座一座的城》时,就是这种起伏的情感下,一蹴而就。
一座一座的城
一座一座的城 我们错过又相逢 我在高速上疾驰 你在云端俯视 陌生的忐忑中 一丝颤动
一座一座的城 我们错过又相逢 我间歇里匆匆的凉水杯 你闲逛时静享的浓咖啡 偶然抬头的天空 几分安宁
一座一座的城 我们错过又相逢 潸然泪下的 念难凝 一声叹息的 看不清 听不到的 你的气息 寻不见的 我的足迹
一座一座的城 我们错过又相逢 想着的 爱着的 却终是 无牵挂的 释怀的空 酸楚的 伤心的 却难敌 突袭来的 思念的匆
一座一座的城 我深爱的灯火通明 你钟情的独守安宁 注定如—— 正划过夜空的 错过又相逢
2014年1月17日
嗯,东方男人,可能对情感的事终还是羞涩些,放不开吧。
不过淡淡却持久的思念,也挺好,对吧?
这个写的不错,老实说。还是写出了TX的感情
对 歪歌你是文学专业的么
嗯,你看我写个那个美国女孩的信,就知道这些都是我记忆深刻的,有我的青春、我的情感在里面。
理工科出身。。。
知道这个画家吗?我第一次看到他画的德州的鲁冰花,那种震惊至今记忆犹新,不敢相信是男的画的,不敢相信真的会那么美。
华雷斯是哪儿?
我刚刚看了下地图,我去的应该是 Ciudad Juárez
rodeo在Texas很多地方都有的!
elpaso过桥的墨西哥那边,留学生去那里换签证可以当天来回
男人细腻起来,无论是艺术创作,还是时尚美感,真的能甩好些女生N条街,哈哈
那就是 Ciudad Juárez! 我记得过了边境就到了。
哇 那好厉害!
大哥,juarez是读华雷斯啊
对呀就是那个华雷斯。你去的时候觉得危险嘛?当初去圣地亚哥的时候,我很想徒步去蒂华纳,最后还是没有鼓起勇气。听说加州连接的蒂华纳和德州连接的这个华雷斯都是挺出名的
我那时候年轻啊,第一个感觉是这画家画出这样的画一定得是自杀的。:)
我是好多年了,记不清了,但当时签证的担心,远超过对危险的感受。
就记得,街上,有些尘土,很多很多的人站着,很多很多双好奇的眼睛看着我。。。
这样子啊。你没有当街吟诗一曲让他们长长见识?
没有,当时充满对未来不确定的忐忑。
What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end

像国内的大县城,新的水泥楼,街上尘土飞扬,出租车里有苍蝇。我第一次长途开车,也是去那里换签证。四个人轮流开,一天开到elpaso,累的让learner permit都上阵开了。新墨西哥赤日炎炎的荒原上笔直看不到头的大路上只有我们。忽而,一叼香烟的墨镜老太太开着巨大蹭亮的林肯还不是别克,超速而过,,,,逐渐变成一个无声的越来越小的,被水汽扭曲飘摇的点,消失了,,,,又忽而,一辆警车,呼啸而过,逐渐变成一个无声的越来越小的,被水汽扭曲飘摇的点,在老太太消失的方向也消失了,,,,
你的诗勾起我刚到美国那几年的很多回忆,谢谢。
像国内的大县城
就是这样的感受,一模一样。
这一首吧,没有感情没有经历,还是真写不出来。
被说的有一点种草了
是的,那么多年过去了,那些画面在我记忆里还那么具体。。。而且充满着情感。
Texas 哪里?
我们说的是九十年代的国内大县城,现在估计也有好多玻璃幕墙的高楼了,大县城和华雷斯,both
好多地方啊。。。你读啊!
我还有一个印象就是那里大银行里女职员衣着摩登,光鲜亮丽,和外面街道上的行人的穿着差别非常大。
然后就是过边境的时候,去墨西哥那边的之宽松随便,嘻嘻哈哈的就过去了,来美国的盘查的之严格,荷枪实弹。
真感觉到了美国人enjoy的自由。
你来自云南元谋, 我来自北京周口, 牵着你毛茸茸的小手, 轻轻地咬上一小口, 啊!是爱情让我们直立行走。
你们越说我越好奇😯
那倒不必,哈哈。。。携手而行,携手而行。。。
关键就是感受到情感。
那种可以共鸣,可以亲近,可以具体,更似乎可以触摸到的情感。。。
乾脆譜各曲唱起來
不会啊😯
這邊這麼多能人美少女
你跪求一下
看你原來是寫成 鄉村的 搖滾的 金屬搖滾的 民謠風的
你可以来个rap版本的😂
哈哈哈哈,你是说歪哥老古董嘛:)
rap 不是 分行的散文
light yellow long skirt
puffy hair
😂 不不不,我夸他的风格通俗易懂,朗朗上口。
毛絨絨的小手 這是哪種生物啊
鄉村歌曲
那種痰音很重的
西部牛仔帽 大鬍子
帶把吉他

我对去圣安东尼的一段高速,特别记忆深刻,路两边好多的树,但视野却一点阻碍,非常开阔,天空也非常的蓝,尤其是路是高低起伏的,有时开在凹处,往前面开去,路的尽头在半空中,真的是像向开往paradise。记忆非常深刻~~~如此起伏着,好美好美,美的有些忧伤,如同我当时的心情。
这首诗真好!超带劲,收藏了
还好吧,不过最近受疫情影响,生意不是很好,但还是坚持不涨价~~~我昨天在这个帖子里说了:

谢谢!
我们是傍晚去的,感觉人很多,但并不喧闹。人们说话的声音,音乐声,河水的声音,和一家家装饰灯的流连交错在一起,就是那么一个短暂的夜晚,却记忆那么深。
也不是, it is a very complicated feeling。
这些年里,我开过好些车,美国的,日本的,欧洲的。。。有的还是豪华的。但我最时不时想起的就是那辆800刀的小破车。
会谱曲的还是少,我自己给自己的作品谱过很业余的简谱。

很奇怪,我昨天还说了,我在Texas,从来没觉得夏天有多热,有多难以忍受(干热干热的,还好)。我当时甚至连防晒霜都不用。但不少中国女同学夏天打伞出门,也是真的。
Hmm 歪哥 you’re excessively sentimental today... what happened? lol
说来奇怪,当年身边一批男同学的恋爱没几年大都无疾而终了,全是long distance的。
在美国国内的long distance, 中美之间的long distance, 中欧之间的long distance,我台湾的roomate和他在台湾的女朋友,,,,,全都分了。
每个男人都消沉失落了很久。。。
有些男同学忙着恋爱、结婚,团聚,有些男同学手足无措,不知道前程。
我以前写过的一篇短文
一生最难忘最幸福的时光
网上读了叶明明写的《父亲叶浅予和我的三个妈妈》一文,写的很淡然,却让人觉得很真实,也很敬佩她能照顾三个妈妈终老。更让我生出些感想,尤其是对文章里的几句话。
一是,年轻时的叶浅予厌倦了婚姻和家庭生活,“离家出走”,和认识没多久的新爱在北京的三天,看戏,游玩。这短短几天,竟是他在先后经历初恋、分手、结婚、离婚、再结、再离、再结、丧偶独鳏后,晚年总结自己这一生时“我终生难忘的最幸福的日子”。这可是一个活了近90岁的老人,回首自己一生情感往事时的感悟。
二是,文中,也写了他和戴爱莲相识结婚和离婚分手的经过。叶浅予晚年丧偶后独自一人,戴爱莲和他离婚后,也是再结再离。叶明明撮合两位老人复婚或者重新再在一起生活,互相关照什么时,戴爱莲却说,“我不能和你父亲复婚,因为我心里始终忘不了我初恋的爱人。”
戴爱莲的这位初恋爱人是英国雕塑家威利·苏考普。当年风华正茂的戴爱莲在英国时和他相遇,也是很短的一段时间(大概也就几个星期),就彼此深爱上对方,但这个时候苏考普已经订婚,未婚妻是一位银行家的女儿。情非得已,戴远走中国,躲避这段我想是她最珍视、最难以忘怀的爱情。
苏考普晚年丧妻后,戴爱莲终于成了他的身边人,彼此的晚年伴侣。可俩人在英国一起生活了没多久,苏考普就于1995年去世了。同一年,在中国,叶浅予也与世长辞,享年88岁。
11年后,戴爱莲去世,享年90岁。
不长的文章里不多的人,跨越近乎一个世纪。
忍不住就感慨,人一生,最快乐,最幸福,最难以忘怀,最愿意追忆的时光,其实可能就那么几天,几个星期……那么短,有时候衬的一生那么悠长;可又那么难忘,又让一生有了从没有的具体和真实。
闲着无事翻看身边的报纸,《廊桥遗梦》(The Bridges of Madison County)现在改编成话剧正在百老汇上演。重新看报纸上的故事梗概,竟有了从来没有过的感受。
就想女人的一生,老去后,应该有个生前不为任何人所知的小箱子——里面有些情书,泛黄的照片,几本日记,几件有岁月痕迹并见证过自己当年情感的饰物或纪念物。
足够了,不能再放更多了。存折,金条,房产证,股票……这些都太世俗了。当然,理想和惬意的状态是,她一生从来没有为这些世俗的事烦恼过、操心过,这让她有足够的淡然和雍容追求或追忆自己一生精神世界里的唯美情感。

。。。。。
呵呵呵呵
有些老人不是越老越成熟的,不可当真。一生只有几天最幸福,虽然有种悲剧性的凄美,但终究自己还是不要过成那样的好。
我也记得那段高速, 限速好像很高,自由自在的奔向美好未来的感觉,阿拉斯加去Wrangell-St. Elias National Park 那段高速也是那样起起伏伏,路上没有别的车,却完全不同,每一步景色都不一样,惊喜不断,更多的时候在看路边的风景而不是憧憬着目的地
