sutter mill歌词
想推荐一首自己一直都挺喜欢的一首乡村民谣
《Sutter's Mill》是丹弗格伯特顿的一首乡村民谣。
中年男人缓沉低诉的调子，像是讲述一个遥远的故事。
略显苍凉的声音，唱出了John Sutter西部寻宝的一生。
无尽的争斗、杀人、流血……可是最终像上帝报道的时候，他却一文不名。
吉他和口琴声里，磨坊外依然有落日和悲伤的原野。
而老萨顿却什么都没有了，包括妻子和5个孩子。
国会山附近的小旅馆里，老萨顿就这样离开，就像从来没来过。
说来好笑，这首歌竟然是一个喜欢架子鼓的同学推荐的。
墨绿色的封面页很是吸引人，音乐更是吸引人，之后单曲循环了无数次，很有味道，就像是当初听《500 miles》给我的感觉一样。
《萨特的磨坊》悲伤的故事能听出小确幸的味道。
我觉得音乐无论以什么样的形式呈现，能给听歌的人心照不宣的触动就算是好音乐了吧。
无所谓歌词的内容是什么，明快轻松或阴暗苍凉都好，能感受到音乐的魅力就足够了。
Sutter's Mill
Singer:Dan Fogelberg
In the spring of forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old john sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old john sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.
(chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
And some would curse john sutter's mill.
Well, they came from new york city,
And they came from alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land.
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains.
And some were lost in the rocky mountains
With their hands froze to the reins.
Oh...
(chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
And some would curse john sutter's mill.
(music)
Well, some pushed on to california
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the spring of eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.
And then the railroad came behind them
And the land was plowed and tamed,
When old john sutter went to meet his maker,
He'd not one penny to his name.
Oh...
(chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
And some would curse john sutter's mill.
And some would curse john sutter's mill
Some men's thirsts are never filled.
end萨特的磨坊
故事的发生
要从1847年的春天说起
老约翰.萨特在磨坊外
拾到一块金子
于是带着它去了城里
在那里关于金矿的消息
如野火蔓延开来
萨特很快就后悔
该把那块石头留在河床上
人们集聚如蝗
男人、女人和孩子们
在大篷车笨重的前行中
将车辙留在原野上
有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房
他们有的来自纽约城
有的来自阿拉巴马州
带着他们的发财梦
来到这荒蛮的土地上
一些人在穿越平原时
命丧箭下
一些人失踪在洛基山脉
冻饿而亡
有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房
一些人执著前行去往加州
一些人驻足不往休养生息
1860年时他们开发了西部
铁路随后而至
荒原终被开发和征服
当约翰萨特离开人世
自己却一文不名
有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房
有人的欲望却永远无法满足
