The Sound Of Silence ◎Simon & Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
嗨囉,黑暗吾友
I've come to talk with you again
我又來到你眼前與你交談
Because a vision softly creeping
因著一種幻覺正悄悄向我爬來
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
趁我深眠留下種子遍地
And the vision that was planted in my brain
爾後深植於我腦海之中
Still remains
不斷纏繞
Within the sound of silence
伴隨寂靜之聲
In restless dreams I walked alone
無盡的夢裡我隻身行走
Narrow streets of cobblestone
於狹窄的鵝卵石之街
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路燈的光暈之下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領抵禦寒氣與溼氣
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night
當一束劃破夜空的霓虹刺穿我的眼
And touched the sound of silence
觸摸著寂靜深處的聲音
And in the naked light, I saw
在奪目得近乎赤裸的光中,我看見
Ten thousand people, maybe more
成千上萬的人,或許更多
People talking without speaking
人們交談卻未發聲
People hearing without listening
聽見一切卻不聞
People writing songs that voices never share
人們寫下那些歌,卻未曾共享歌聲
And no one dared
終於無人再膽敢
Disturb the sound of silence
打擾寂靜之聲
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
「蠢人」,我說,「你不知道的是
Silence like a cancer grows
寂靜正如癌症蔓延滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you
仔細聽我的言語讓我教導你
Take my arms that I might reach you"
抓住我手臂讓我拯救你」
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
但我的話語,正寂靜如雨滴墜落
And echoed
並且敲起回音
In the wells of silence
於寂靜之井中
And the people bowed and prayed
於是人們鞠躬、祈禱
To the neon god they made
向著他們創造的霓虹之神
And the sign flashed out its warning
警告的燈在其中閃熾
In the words that it was forming
組織所有文字
And the sign said,
靜謐訴說:
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
「先知的話語已被篆刻於地鐵牆上
And tenement halls"
與屋宇大廳裡
And whispered in the sound of silence
並低語於寂靜之聲中」

◎作者簡介
Simon & Garfunkel是著名美國民謠搖滾音樂二重唱組合,是六十年代最流行的樂團之一,被視為該年代社會變革的反文化偶像。其成名曲多不勝數,如〈The Sound of Silence〉、〈Scarborough Fair〉、〈Bridge Over Troubled Water〉等皆為家喻戶曉的名曲。
-
◎小編淵智賞析
〈The Sound of Silence〉是Simon & Garfunkel1964年的首張錄音室專輯《Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.》中的一首歌。推出後卻售量慘淡,也導致兩人散夥。到了1965年春天,該歌曲開始在電台上播放,卻意外獲得播放量的增長,也使製作人決定重新將此歌進行混音並發行,〈The Sound of Silence〉因此爆紅,也使Simon & Garfunkel重組,並以該歌名作為第二張專輯的名字。
介紹完歌曲背景後,讓我們來開始看這首歌。從其中的詞彙選用,如「黑暗darkness」、「鵝卵石之街streets of cobblestone」、「霓虹neon」,我們不難感知到歌曲的場景錯落於彷彿十九世紀的倫敦,因為霧氣蔓延而顯得似乎無盡的街。歌曲開始於一種精神狀態的模擬「Because a vision softly creeping因著一種幻覺正悄悄向我爬來/Left its seeds while I was sleeping趁我深眠留下種子遍地」,此一幻覺的襲來承襲前面的「darkness黑暗」,我們可以意識到不管接下來發生的事情為何,對敘事者而言,他已經陷於一種昏昧、幻覺蔓生的精神狀態。當我們感知到了此一型態之後,這段便以「Within the sound of silence伴隨寂靜之聲」作收,這是這首歌第一次出現「矛盾」的語境——究竟寂靜深處為何會有聲音呢?
帶著這樣的疑問,我們來到了下一段,與第一段的精神狀態不同,第二段的描述卻絲毫未帶有個人的意識,而是從外界種種來進行投射——敘事者在無盡的街上行走,為了抵禦濕氣與寒氣而將領袖立起,而即使如此,卻依然有些事物是能穿過領袖直接侵襲的,那就是霓虹。我們不難感知到這裡的「霓虹」似乎帶有著文明、發展的想像,當這種感覺卻依然停留在模糊的型態,卻又回到了第一段那樣類似的語句作結:「And touched the sound of silence觸摸著寂靜深處的聲音」。然而有了第一段的內在精神型態、第二段的外在世界描摹,我們便似乎開始感受得到究竟何謂「sound of silence」。
接著,來到了第三段,承接上段的光,敘事者的意識開始與外界結合,而使得他看見了幻覺「And in the naked light, I saw在奪目得近乎赤裸的光中,我看見/Ten thousand people, maybe more成千上萬的人,或許更多」,這樣的幻象似乎替sound of silence作出了一種情境式的衍釋——到了此時,sound of silence的具體特徵也終於浮現:「People talking without speaking人們交談卻未發聲/People hearing without listening聽見一切卻不聞/People writing songs that voices never share人們寫下那些歌,卻未曾共享歌聲」。交談卻未出聲,聽見一切卻聽而不聞,擁有歌曲卻未共享歌聲,這是一種冷漠的姿態,在二重唱所生存的當代,這種冷漠、文明以及歌曲所想抵抗的意識形態正好重疊在此刻。因此,在下一段,他們也終於第一次對此冷漠做出了痛心的批判:
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
「蠢人」,我說,「你不知道的是
Silence like a cancer grows
寂靜正如癌症蔓延滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you
仔細聽我的言語讓我教導你
Take my arms that I might reach you"
抓住我手臂讓我拯救你」
然而,最淒涼的是,這樣的痛心疾首,卻依舊被冷漠所吞噬:「But my words, like silent raindrops fell但我的話語,正寂靜如雨滴墜落/And echoed
並且敲起回音/In the wells of silence於寂靜之井中」,此時,這一種「silence寂靜」也終於清楚地被我們所認知到。這是一種先知的嘆息,生存在知道一切正往著崩毀命運的當代,想要大聲疾呼卻始終徒勞無功,這或許是二重唱在他們唱著這些歌曲的當代,最無可奈何的命運吧。
因此,到了最後,他們也只能眼睜睜地看著人們向著人工的神「neon god霓虹之神」祈禱,並留下最後的遺言。

The world really has evolved several stages since 2020, and also since the beginning of my career- and that’s the beauty of it all. Nothings permanent, everything changes and newer, more exciting things keep coming into the mix.
Tomorrow my baby will turn 6 months. What a massive milestone, for her and for myself. As I am learning everyday to be a better mother, I am also learning to become a stronger me. I have been wanting to update fans and friends on how I am doing - and yet every time I try, I just feel like “oh gosh. Where do I even start?” And before that thought process is over, I would be busy either feeding my baby, changing a diaper, soothing her, or putting her to sleep.
The first few months of my baby’s life felt like it flew by so quickly yet at the same time pre-baby feels like a lifetime ago - everything in my world has shifted. My whole focus was her - I was breastfeeding, (which, by the way, is HEAPS harder than giving birth), making sure she’s eating well, sleeping well, and pooping well. And, understandably, paranoid about any kind of germs in the house. There was no difference between day and night, it’s just wake time and sleep time. It made no difference for me what day of the week it was, what weather it was, what’s happening with my industry, or with the world other than the daily Covid news, because I just needed to stay home make sure that my little newborn is far far far away from covid. I barely saw friends, and hadn’t eaten in a restaurant for north of half a year. As I took care of her, I barely had time to wash my own face, go to the bathroom, or sleep for a long stretch of time. I also didn’t have enough breastmilk, so I would sit there and try to pump the life out of me, just so I could provide half of a meal for my baby. I tried everything - but I do know that low supply isn’t uncommon. So- as glamorous as mom life can appear to be on social media, don’t be fooled. It’s humbling, but it’s also life-altering and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Emotionally, I’ve been so over the moon and happy. I enjoy spending time with my newborn baby, she makes me giggle and smile - even though I wish my mother was here to share old baby stories of me, and experience all of this together. But having a daughter really makes you feel more connected to your mother on a completely different level - I just know she’s happy and proud of me from up above. I’ve taught her how to semi-feed herself, how to fall asleep by herself, teaching her still how to roll, sit, and semi-stand (crazy!!), and I’ve played her tunes on my guitar like she’s the only fan in my fan club.
I also consider myself blessed that I never had issues with postpartum depression, despite suffering from mommy’s wrist. I had an amazing relationship with my 陪月/月嫂 who helped me immensely more than words can say. I have not been able to see my side of the family for over a year, but I’m blessed to have amazing in-laws and fellow mommy friends to share experiences with.
Nothing has been easy, but I am the most grateful for my husband - he was always by my side when I needed him. We change diapers together, we bathe our daughter, we sing to her together, and read bedtime stories to her together. I can safely say, that I’m MUCH happier than when I was towards the end of my music label contract. There have been some dark years there.
Hitting 6 months is a big deal for me. I can safely pat myself on my back and reminisce on THE single most biggest achievement of my life, my daughter. Obviously, 6 months is not long in the grand scheme of things, ie. her entire life ahead, but it is a big milestone for me mentally, and finally I feel it’s time to really focus on my own personally healing. I completely lost myself in taking care of her, and yet I felt the most alive and the most needed - and I found a new me in the process. It’s a beautiful kind of chaos and I embraced all of it. But yes, now it’s time for me again. finally.
Hitting this 6 month mark, I have decided to now wean from breastfeeding, take care of my body better, drink some wine, and write more songs for real. (If my daughter allows, lol). I am choosing to give myself some more me-time, read a book, get my nails done, and eventually get a haircut too. And.. start to think about dieting and training. Moms don’t get enough credit for deciding consciously to not slim down yet because they gotta breastfeed. But- with that said, all moms have their own struggles that no one knows of, so never judge!
A part of the stress that comes with social media sometimes, is actually comments on moms’ sizes, even praises of “wow you slimmed down fast!” As though that’s the most important thing of all. The toxic culture pains me and I just know it’s not the point. For me, it really was a conscious decision, just to be a mother first, above all else, at least for these first six months of her little life. And looking at her, strong, happy and healthy, I am truly so so proud of her for her growth and development.
And finally.. I’m finally ready to think about myself again as a musician. I know I’m lucky to be able to have a choice of being with her for 6 months; I count my blessings everyday. But as songwriting wheels become rustier, and as the industry evolves, I’m quite frankly not sure yet what a singer-songwriter mom looks like. I struggle to name artists in the Chinese speaking world that I could reference from - but I promise I’ll continue to bring music to those ears that still choose to listen.
I still hope that one day - little Naomi can see mama on stage. Looking down at her as she sleeps, I always imagine what she would be like as she grows up - and I hope that one day she will be able to pursue what she loves to do and focus on the truly meaningful things in life.
Thank you for reading through this thinking-out-loud random catch-up session blog thing. I’m just so glad I survived 6 months of motherhood. This stuff ain’t easy! Sending love and thank you all for the support, as always. More updates later!
