swallowed in the sea

swallowed in the sea是一首有著美妙旋律而又富有強烈的搖滾色彩，值得一聽也非常耐聽的好歌。

在X&Y裡面，我最喜歡的，就是這首Swallowed in The Sea（當然Fix you也很不錯，這裡就不過多介紹了）。第一次聽這首歌覺得一般，可聽完后的幾天里還都會不時地想起這歌的旋律，於是便又多聽了幾遍，覺得越聽越好聽，是一首很有韻味的歌曲。

關於這首歌的含義，網上說法很多。有人認為和Fix you一樣是格溫妮絲帕特洛的媽媽去世之後，克里斯馬汀寫來安慰他妻子的，也有人說是一個人很愛他的戀人，這個人曾經帶給他了很多，但是現離開了，不過他相信這個人有一天會回來，還有一次我在一個英文網站上看到一個外國人再講這歌是在說三個人之間的關係，分析得頭是道。不過欣賞酷玩的歌不需要分析好多細節推理出其含義或情感，其實用自己的內心去品味就行了，享受其韻味。而且也有可能本身就沒什麼過多的意思，就是他們一瞬間的靈感，就像42或者Yellow一樣。

《X&Y》在2006年6月7日發行專輯的封套的設計與1990年的一款電腦遊戲Teris很相像，這背後究竟蘊藏了什麼特殊含義不得而知。而這張費時一年半籌劃而成的全新專輯《X&Y》，發行首周，以73萬7千張的驚人銷量橫掃美國唱片市場勇奪冠軍，成為2005年迄今首周銷量最高的搖滾樂專輯，在英國本土的專輯榜上更是以首周46萬4千多張的銷量創下了英國排行榜有史以來的首周銷量的第二高紀錄。據新華社電國際唱片工業聯合會3日公布的統計數字顯示，英國酷玩樂隊的《X&Y》以全球830萬張的銷售成績位居2005年世界暢銷專輯排行榜的榜首。曾被主唱克里斯·馬汀形容為：“可能再也做不出來。”就知道外界對Coldplay全新專輯的期待、這張專輯同時也是EMI唱片年度最重要的發行！

You cut me down a tree

And brought it back to me

And that's what made me see

Where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf

And kept me for yourself

I can only blame myself

You can only blame me

And I could write a song

A hundred miles long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

And I could write it down

Or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found

Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line

And hung me out to dry

And darling that's when I

Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size

And opened up my eyes

Made me realize

What I could not see

And I could write a book

The one they'll say that shook

The world, and then it took

It took it back from me

And I could write it down

Or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found

And you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea

Ooh...

And I could write a song

A hundred miles long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live

With nothing left to give

Forget but not forgive

Not loving all you see

Oh the streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long

Well that's where I belong

And you belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea
