Silence

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend

Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

------------------Nat King Cole.Pretend

「只要這個人存在，就足以對某人造成傷害。」
村上春樹在國境之南太陽之西一書中，
曾經提到這首歌，
我本來並不覺得這書很得我喜愛，
但剛才在聽爵士樂電台時，
無意間聽到這首Pretend，
這書的種種情節，以及那句佳句，
卻立刻浮現在我腦海中。

回想起來，這首歌與國境一書還真的是同一種感覺阿。
