● Hozier - Take Me to Church
第一次聽到這首歌是2014年某個晚上11點多、我在四周都是農田的路上飆著車去上大夜班的路上。當時廣播電台大肆宣傳主打這首歌,每次聽到都有種毅然決然單刀赴會踏上The Road not Taken的感覺。
看到MV和歌詞之後感覺又更難過了,信仰從來都不該是箝制感情與性向的那把刀。謝謝台灣還有748讓我們可以看見在一片蠻荒的叢林中,嘗試跨出的那一小步。
"I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment – if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes – everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense."
- Hozier (in the interview of "The Irish Times")
這首歌送給今天站上街頭的朋友們。
