2001年9月12日早晨我在操场上听到这个消息之前，还不知道什么叫做“怀疑自己的耳朵”，而那一刻我就在怀疑自己的耳朵。象征人类现代商业文明的巨擘，顷刻间灰飞烟灭，是任何人都应该难以接受的。即使那时的我还是一名类愤青，但我的确没有以民族的角度，以一个刚刚被对方戏弄过的国家的角度，接受这个消息。那些欢呼雀跃的人都是傻瓜；包括在电视上大谈”自食其果”的国际局势评论砖家，老糊涂了吧你们。

由于被《怪物史莱克》用做插曲，Hallelujah 最近被更多人所知，这正是非常适合用作纪念的曲目。这首歌版本多如牛毛。Youtube 上有专为纪念 911 所制作的 Jeff Buckley 版，虽然应景，但我并不喜欢。K.D.Lang 一人就有多个版本，下面这个版本足够深情，是我认为 Hallelujah 最好的版本。除此之外， Sheryl Crow 吉他弹唱的版本也非常不错，大家自己找找看。

歌词：

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don’t really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah…

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah…

baby i’ve been here before
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…

well there was a time when you let me know
what’s really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there’s a god above
but all i’ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah…
