前天翻了一本《故事如何改變你的大腦?》,作者有兩個女兒,寫書的時候,一個四歲,一個七歲。引發他寫書的動機,是他有天開車聽著收音機,播放了《偷走灰姑娘》這首歌,他被觸動到,只好停下車在路邊大哭一場,平息後再開回馬路上。
這首歌捕捉到『為人父者,清楚知道自己永遠不會是女兒生命中最重要的男人』的感受。
已經過世的日本導演小津安二郎還拍了部電影《秋刀魚之味》,來形容這種又甜蜜又苦澀的滋味。宮崎駿不也出品了《波妞》來講這樣的故事嗎?
知道這種感受,好好地用生命去品嘗吧!
給各位有女兒的爸爸們。
話說回來,我們還不是偷了人家的『灰姑娘』!
I went to see her dad for a sit down man to man
Wasn't any secret, I'd be asking for her hand
I guess that's why he left waiting in the living room by myself
With at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf, she was
Playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Runnin' through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancin' with her dad, lookin' up at him
In her eyes I'm prince charming but to him I'm just some fellow
Riding in and stealing Cinderella
