When I was listening 手嶌葵's songs, then"The rose" pop up. That led me the link of Bette Midler in Youtube. Then.....her voice brought me back to my bitter seventeen, those bitter but beautiful years. I still remember how the song moved me a lot and full of tears when I listened it first time. In that poor but pure era, as a student only could listen tape. I just rewind the tape again and again....till the tape was broken. I always remember how those lyrics encouraged me a lot in that rigid enviorment. Everytime I went to KTV, I always sang that song as a ritual for myself.
Tonight, I listen it again and agian, and also cried again. Those phrases still moved me a lot!
Always remind myself........
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes the rose.
