Mamma Mia

四年多以前的夏天,在我离开伦敦前的最后一个晚上,我一个人第一次去看了Mamma Mia音乐剧。以一曲I have a dream开场,以同一首歌闭幕。脑海里从此留下的是那一轮巨大的银色圆月,夜色下的木桥,Sophie和Sky背着背囊,手拉手走向地平线远方。看完后内心充满了音乐的舞动,有一种欲在Leicester Square街上跳Dancing Queen的冲动。

那年我刚毕业。

自从那一个晚上,我爱上了ABBA的歌,找乐队当年的专辑,和Mamma Mia的原声带。上班或跑步时,在iPod里不断重播,默记歌词。后来有了电影,希腊的蓝天白房子和宝石般的大海荡漾在荧幕上,让远离伦敦的我,在出差航班的小屏幕上,一次次重温。

昨天晚上,在纽约的项目首战告捷,晚上无需工作,便决定去看一场百老汇音乐剧。从几部不在伦敦上演的剧目中选来选去,却突然只想看旧戏、听旧歌。时隔四年多,决定再去看一次Mamma Mia,重拾当时的快感,也顺便比较伦敦和纽约版本的差别。

没有料到,搞怪的Money Money,或Mamma Mia,还是激情四射的Dancing Queen,都没有让我笑出来。两个多小时,只知道眼眶一直温热着,胸口一直紧抽着。

也许是累了,也许是刚经历离别,也许是怀旧的感伤……那些熟记于心的歌词句句敲在心上:

I have a dream, a song to sing to help me cope with anything. If you see the wonder of a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail. I believe in angels, something good in everything I see. I believe in angels. When I know the time is right for me, I’ll cross the stream. I have a dream.

Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing. Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing. Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty? What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music for giving it to me.

I can still recall, our last summer. I still see it all, walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain. Our last summer. Memories that remain…I can still recall, our last summer, I still see it all. In the tourist jam. Round the Notre Dame. Our last summer. Walking hand in hand. Paris restaurants. Our last summer. Morning croissants. Living for the day, worries far away. Our last summer. We could laugh and play.

思绪里纠结缠绕的是那些大大的词:梦想,友谊,冒险,婚姻,时光,失去……

生活中就是有这样的一些时刻,心上的某个闸门无缘由的被踹开,然后泪水和追忆和感伤,就顿时泛滥了。

想起一位知己说过:也许因为战斗需要更坚固的盔甲,内心从此便分外柔软。

其实我喜爱这样的柔软。
