Answer – Atonement
By：Sarah McLachlan

A字头1：Atonement

我在youtube想找个Sarah McLachlan的Answer，结果搜索到了电影Atonement，春节之前看的一部片，很来电，想写东西出来，小标题列了一堆，可惜假期里太忙乱，总是被打断，于是直到现在，本子里所有的也只是好多个彼此独立的段落天各一方，整合却遥遥无期。

Joined by love.
Separated by fear.
Redeemed by hope.

我很喜欢Atonement，古典但有力，就像video里的那两位，好似风中的同一片树叶，飘摇无根，而时间就是那一阵狂风，让人无法站住脚跟，无法向谁索要，亦无法偿还。回不去的家乡，见不到的爱人，所有的一切始终都是脆弱的，一捏就会碎，等不来，握不住，这才终于知道了，救赎原来不在其中。

也是看过Atonement之后突然对James McAroy很有感觉，几乎不能把眼前这个人同《纳尼亚传奇》里的“羊人”划上等号。Keira Knightley在我看来一直是演技僵硬的代名词，只是很喜欢她那套绿色的礼服，不知为何让我想起了《诗经》。有次做梦梦到自己莫名其妙的结婚典礼，就被强迫着穿了这套礼服，可是非常不搭调地配了一条牛仔裤……

A字头2：Answer

最早听到Sarah McLachlan的Answer，是在电影The brave one里，伴着Jodie Foster的回忆余音绕梁，电影一结束我就冲到电脑跟前，打开网络找这首歌，听了很久，一听就发呆，又岂止是三日不绝。

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
