underneath the stars
I'll wait for you - the meaning of life.


Searching for someone who can lie down with me on a beach, underneath the blinking stars, and just talk for the whole night...

this is one of the oldies that i am obsessed with recently. the theme of this song is 'childhood'. i always feel very sentimental whenever i listen to this song. both the melody and th lyrics trigger a lot of memories and thoughts in my mind. the description of childhood is so apt that even people, like myself, who didnt live in the era of which whhen the song was written, will always feel touched by it.  that is what classics are for. please read the lyrics below while you are listening to the song, think you will draw some sentiments from the lyrics as well... the parts which i bolded and enlarged are the parts which i feel most strongly about. do enjoy.

罗大佑:童年 


池塘边的榕树上,知了在声声叫着夏天 
草丛边的秋千上,只有蝴蝶停在上面 
黑板上老师的粉笔还在拼命叽叽喳喳写个不停 
等待着下课等待着放学等待游戏的童年 

福利社里面什么都有就是口袋里没有半毛钱 
诸葛四郎和魔鬼党到底谁抢到那支宝剑 
隔壁班的那个女孩怎么还没经过我的窗前 
嘴里的零食手里的漫画心里初恋的童年 
总是要等到睡觉前才知道功课只做了一点点 
总是要等到考试后才知道该念的书都没有念 

一寸光阴一寸金老师说过寸金难买寸光阴 
一天又一天一年又一年迷迷糊糊的童年 

没有人知道为什么太阳总下到山的那一边 
没有人能够告诉我山里面有没有住着神仙 
多少平日记忆总是一个人面对着天空发呆 
就这么好奇就这么幻想这么孤单的童年 
阳光下蜻蜓飞过来一片片绿油油的稻田 
水彩蜡笔和万花筒画不出天边那一条彩虹 
什么时候才能像高年级的同学有张成熟与长大的脸 
盼望着假期盼望着明天盼望长大的童年 
一天又一天一年又一年盼望长大的童年
