还记得那部《How The Grinch Stole Christmas》—《圣诞怪杰》吗?在圣诞老人的故乡北极圈,圣诞怪杰和他的狗狗Max相依为命。当圣诞来临,大家兴高采烈准备迎接新年到来的时候,他却感到寂寞孤苦,于是心生一机,恶作剧般地到处把人们的圣诞礼物全部偷走。怪杰以为偷去所有的礼物,就能破坏圣诞那种喜气洋洋的气氛,但后来发现即使没有礼物,人们欢乐的歌声仍然到处飘扬__圣诞节没有因为缺少礼物&圣诞树而停止,于是他终于明白: 快乐并不是建筑在物质上......
电影的主题歌就是《Where Are You Christmas》。 特别的是这首歌好像是唯一一首由花蝴蝶参与创作但不是她本人演唱的, 代替她的是那位漂亮的乡村歌手Faith Hill, 虽然Hill的演绎已经相当吸引人的耳朵, 但隐隐约约还是很期待花蝴蝶那惊人肺活量的歌声,是否会更震撼呢?
歌词:
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play
Where Are You Christmas

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too
Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go
Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time
I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love
Fill your heart with love

第一次听到这首歌, 说不清是为剧中人物的遭遇,还是歌曲本身,竟然有种隐隐的伤感:圣诞似乎离的越来越远了, 渐渐失去了感觉。 从什么时候开始,对它的新奇&期待变成了一声: 圣诞过后就可以回家了!
家, 永远的期待;那盏桔红色的灯永远刻在了心里。
Merry Cihrstmas & Happy New Year
