Seasons in the Sun背景故事
故事发生在50年代的美国，这是一个小镇，那种淳朴、简单的小镇。
A和C，两个青梅竹马的好友。他们是截然不同的两人。
A是校橄榄球队的队长，英俊、潇洒，是个在学校颇有人气的男孩。
C，腼腆、巧手，他总是独来独往，却偏偏和A是好友，很好很好的那种
是的，A和C是铁哥们，直到B出现在他们的生活中。

B,啦啦队队长，像是天生为了A而设计的，50年代的美国，啦啦队队长和橄榄球队队长
就好像是现在的校花、校草，他们，理所当然的坠入爱河。
而C，就如大家所想的那样，对于B始终抱有暗恋之情。
然而，B是不会注意到他的，她灿烂、耀眼，是浩瀚天宇中的流星，
她注定需要夜空的深邃来陪伴，才能绽放最耀眼的光芒，
而不是一颗闪烁的恒星。

故事继续着，1956年，A、B和C，毕业了。
那个年代，高中毕业便意味着进入社会。
而A和B，在众人的祝福声中结为连理。
B经营这一家杂货店，小镇中唯一卖东西的点，这是她的嫁妆。
A是个壮汉，当起了卡车司机，行走于美国各大洲，为家人奔波。

C，依然暗恋着B,苦苦地，不为任何目的地，始终如一地暗恋着。
他成了一个木匠，当然，因为他手巧。
A常不在家，C便担起了男人的义务。
办货、修补......一来而去，情愫默默地在两人中蔓延开来。

这注定是个悲剧，看到这里谁都能猜到，
这个悲剧，源于过分的信任
信任妻子、信任好友
然而，失了所有

B和C的关系发展迅速，C成了A和B家里的常客，尤其在A离开的时候
1959年冬天，美国遭遇了罕见的暴风雪
高速封路了，A出车没多久就决定返回
哪个时候，通讯确实不发达，没有人知道A要回来
尤其是B和C

A是震惊的，不难想像
推开门，他看到的是凌乱的衣物，
他看到的是好友和他的妻子
世界，在那一瞬间崩溃
他曾经幸福美满，良友、娇妻，还有可爱的女儿
一切的一切，在这个冬天结束。
他傻了，他疯了，举起了手中的枪......

两条人命，换来一个死刑
A于1960年2月12日被处以电刑
行刑前3天，他得到了一张白纸，用来书写最后的遗言
于是，有了这首《Seasons in the Sun》：

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We ’ve known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C ’s
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend it ’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I ’ll be there

We have joy we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb were just seasons
Out of time......

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I ’ll be there.

We have joy we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
We have joy we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it ’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We have joy we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb were just seasons
Out of time......
We have joy we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

All our lives we had fun
We have seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.

这也许因为是临终遗言，所以意境也就特别的美。

Pretty girls are everywhere ，Think of me and I ’ll be there
此句是点睛之笔，颇具讽刺意味
作者像是在描述天堂的美景，有好多的美女，有点出自己的花心
然而，确实由衷地希望同样的错不要再犯一次
他和好友，不会再爱上同一个女人。

seasons in the sun是westlife一首很著名的歌，但是它背后的故事又有几个人知道？

三个人，我们姑且称他们为A、B、C。在50年代的法国乡村，他们是同一所高中的同学。A和C是从小一起长大的、最要好的朋友，B是漂亮的女孩。通常在这种故事里，我们很容易想象发生了什么事情，A和C同时爱上了B。A是那种很阳光、很乐观、很拉风的男孩，是学校的运动明星，是很多情窦初开的少女仰慕的对象。生活对于A来说充满的只是快乐和单纯。而C害羞、内敛，画得一手好画。早在A和B相爱之前，C已经默默的爱了B很久，但是没有人知道。这份爱被藏在心底，直到毕业后A参军、C成为一名木匠，直到战后A返回家乡和B结婚，直到婚后A找到工作当上一名货车司机……

A经常离家工作很长时间，B打理着外婆留下的乡村杂货店，有太多的事情需要男人的帮忙，C就这样担负起了照顾年轻的母女的责任。天长日久，大家都想象得到的事情就那样发生了。A乐观的天性加上对妻子的爱、对挚友的信任使他对此茫然无知。直到一个大雪封路的冬天，A在出车的半夜折返家中，发现了一切……面对骤然被生命中最重要的两个人出卖这个难以接受的事实，A失去控制杀死了他们。当天深夜，A向警察局自首，两个月后被判一级谋杀罪名成立，于第二年初春执行死刑。在死刑执行前的第三天，A在狱中写了三段话，分别写给他最好的朋友C、他的父亲和他四岁的女儿。在即将离开人世的时刻，他仍然将C看作最好的、生命中最值得信赖的朋友。

这个A，叫做Jacques Brel。他写下的这段话最初的名字叫"Le Moribund"，直译的意

思是"the dying man"。Rod McKuen将之翻译成英语，并套上一首法语歌的旋律，这

就是最初的"seasons in the sun"。十年后，Terry Jacks无意中听到了这首歌，经

过他的演绎，歌曲从此红遍全球，被很多很多人翻唱，其中最著名的就是westlife。

只要稍稍想到那个三天后就要离去的人是以怎样的心情在怀念活着的幸福、告别自己年迈的父亲和四岁的女儿，只要稍稍想到他的父亲和女儿在看到这些话时心中剧烈的激荡……我无言。Jacques Brel用美好的笔调歌颂生命的多彩和绚烂，却让聆听的人更加忍不住潸然泪下。对比Terry和westlife的版本，显然westlife的音乐制作要好很多，但从表现一个真正面临死亡的人的心境来说，我喜欢Terry，也更能理解为什么歌中反复强调：It's hard to die.

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.

We've known each other since we were nine or ten.

Together we've climbed hills and trees,

learned of love and ABC's,

skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye, my friend.

It's hard to die

when all the birds are singing in the sky.

Now that spring is in the air

pretty boys are everywhere.

Think of me and I'll be there.

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me.

I was the black sheep of the family.

You tried to teach me right from wrong.

Too much wine and too much song.

Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye, papa.

It's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky.

Now that the spring is in the air,

lThere're children everywhere.

When you see them, I'll be there.

Goodbye, Michelle, my precious one.

You gave me love and helped me find the sun.

And every time that I was down,

you would always come around,

and get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye, Michele.

It's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that spring is in the air,

with the flowers everywhere,

I wish that we could both be there.

We had joy, we had fun,

we had seasons in the sun,

but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.

We had joy, we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,

but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.

听完背后的故事再听这首歌是多么悲哀！
