Hello Saferide - Long lost penpal

原名Annika Norlin的Hello Saferide，邁入07年的最新動向是Sakert!這支以瑞典傳統語言與歌謠為創作藍本的音樂project。素有鄰家女孩形象，acoustic pop風味的恬淡民謠，Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他，以小女孩的自吟帶來了委實動人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」專輯。

關于這張專輯評價中有這么一句：“這是一張關于相思成災，寂寞無眠和美好回憶的專輯，洋溢其中的淳淳愛意令人迷醉。”

一首《Long Lost Penpal》是講述的是兩個筆友之間的平凡動人的故事，這種不張不揚的曲風淡淡慵懶，淡淡從容，淡淡幽雅，淡淡憂傷，淡淡美麗，淡淡寂寞,似不經意地低吟淺唱，卻吐氣如蘭．微笑并且流淚的花朵在青春的季節里永不會凋謝……

很有趣的一首歌，隔空往返對答的情境，還有爆點

卻十分寫實

交筆友現在經不流行了

失去聯絡十年了

細數從前互相傾訴種種，對照如今嫁做人婦

筆友闊別十年重拾聯絡

輕快的小品卻夾雜濃濃的傷感



Hello Saferide我開始迷上你了



Hello

Do you remember me

I am your long lost pen pal

It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don’t really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you’re still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not



Hello

Yes I remember you

I’ve got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant and make fairly good money

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

when my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on



I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend



There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend

Then I checked the mailbox



Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children

and a wife, she doesn’t care

And I hope you don’t resent me

And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young



I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend
