Skyfall - Adele

如果不是Adele在前几日奥斯卡上又唱了这首歌，我也想不起来查看是否曾推荐过这首歌。竟然漏了这么一首好歌，赶紧给补上吧。

这首歌，百听不厌，荡气回肠。尤其是心情低落时，戴上耳机，一整天泡在这首歌里，渐渐地感受，自己的心慢慢地被她抚平，又拉了回来。
 
有人根据James Bond电影情节去解义歌词，但我个人更偏向于不拘一格，天马行空的风格。看到下面一段阐释，比较喜欢，转贴过来，你也瞄两眼？
 
Interpretation:

I’m not looking at this as being descriptive of the movie because, in my opinion, it only bears a loose connection to it in terms of the themes. Adele is coming from a totally different place. The whole song is about death, but it’s a spiritual death and rebirth: “this is the end”, “I’ve drowned...”, “swept away...”. Psychologically this is amazing because she is going to “where we start” which is, of course, birth and from there to be reborn. The one she is facing it with is essentially her soul (her counter-self, in Jungian terms) the combination of the ego and id (even slightly) seems to destroy the world, but actually it destroys the conscious perspective of the world and creates a new perspective. She and he soul “face it all together”, they “stand tall” when it “crumbles”. Her whole view of the world is dying but she has been brave enough to stand and face it all. “A thousand miles and poles apart”; this is like the ego and unconscious, they are antipodes but you’ll notice that they both start at “Skyfall”. So they’re as far apart as it’s possible to be but they’re also right next to each other – this is her soul/animus. You’ll never have her heart; she has already given it to her soul. The sky falling is a mythological motif which means that the “otherworld” will invade this one, it’s an alchemical motif meaning that what is “above” combines its self with what is “below”. The sky and the earth paradoxically come together for her at the moment she combines with her soul. She says “let the sky fall” because she knows this is the only way the two “poles” can be reconciled. See what I mean about different themes? The movie is essentially about Bond’s perfect nemesis (he’s really fighting himself, since both he and the villain are infatuated with The Mother, by way of M) and it’s not about his combination with himself. He actually kills his nemesis, assuring that it will only return to kill him. Fun. 


Interpretation:
 
From a spiritual world, I even the rational & pragmatic level headed individual has to acknowledge that our world/society is on the brink of a collapse. Whether this be a matter of a decaying moral fabric of society, an increased of fatherless children, melting glaciers, human trafficking & an unraveling of our God inspired U.S. Constitutional values. Many believers have thought about this repeatedly - and many of us feel we have been waiting too long to contribute what we can do. All hell will break lose but this is when we still all come together & face evil together, once & for all. This implies that the boundaries of evil are becoming close neighbors whereby forces of good & love are colliding like never before - worlds that were once historically oceans & worlds away are bumping shoulders every moment. Predators can identify you, know of you & transgress against you but your heart is something that forces of darkness are shunned from. So we say, let the sky fall - we still stand up to the face of evil & tyranny & face it head on. Where you go... "you" to me implies "the good shepherd" in a religious context - & we will see the real face of evil that exists We will know we are safe - in a place of love, keeping us safe & hand in hand, we will walk with Hashem/Yeshua.
