[Talk] The Rose (song)
Just found this place. Wow, it's pretty quiet here.
I would like to share an old song which I came across on the radio.
-----------
The Rose - originally by Bette Midler (I love the version by 阿桑 a lot more)
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
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
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
------------
This song is beautiful and some of the lines resonate with me. My favorate
is as in the signautre.
How would you read this line?
"It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give"
I pondered what it intended to convey all afternoon, and managed to rephrase
like this at the end: "it's the one who does not open his/her heart to be
loved, who is not able to love, either." Who doesn't want to be loved? I guess
it's the one who is afraid of being hurt later would hesitate to be loved, and
naturally, lose the ability to love.
Do you agree?
