Vol2. Enchanted to meet u, N - from D

文本太长，这里放不下。 我就放上 adam写给taylor的信的内容，以及最后部分的文本。 Dear Taylor, On February 14th, 2011 by Adam Young One blustery evening last October, I waited impatiently until the clock tolled midnight and then promptly bought Taylor Swift’s new record on iTunes. I played it in the kitchen, I played it in the car, I played it at the studio, I played it on flights to Japan and back; I just couldn’t keep away from it. Speak Now was the indisputable leader of my “top 5〃 record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works. I always love decoding the sneaky secret messages hidden in Taylor’s written lyrics, so naturally the day Speak Now came out, I played the whole thing from top to bottom as I added up the capital letters per each song’s set of lyrics. As track 8 came to a close and the album switched over to track 9 (a breathtaking song called Enchanted and one of my favorites on the entire record), something began to feel curiously “familiar.” I couldn’t put my finger on it. Why did the song feel so personal? Why was it ringing a bell? Perhaps it was merely the word “wonderstruck” that indeed struck a sweet chord, but before the second chorus hit, I’d already added up the letters: A-D-A. And then it hit me like a freight train. I didn’t even need to find that last letter “M.” A colorful swirl of memories flashed before my eyes as it all added up. My jaw hit the floor. The track is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn’t stop smiling. I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It’s no secret that I’m a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor. How does one respond to such a personal outpouring of emotion and sentiment? I tossed and turned over that one. They say “timing is everything” and that brings us to now. Today is Valentine’s Day. Besides that, he also personally wrote Taylor a letter in real life. It goes like: Dearest Taylor, I&`&ll be the first to admit I’m rather shy boy and since music is the most eloquent form of communication I can muster, I decided to record sth for u -- as sort of a "reply" to the breathtaking song on your current record. This is what I wanted so badly to tell you in person but could never quite put into words: Everything about you is lovely. You’re an immensely charming girl with a beautiful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairytale, and above all, I just want you to know...I WAS ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU TOO. Love, Adam. Sadly, nothing came out of this enchantment between these two singers, except for the song. Taylor didn’t give any further response to Adam’s public confession of his love for her. But thanks to that magical night in New York, leaving us this breathtakingly beautiful song. Let’s hear Taylor’s version of this song first. I hope when you hear this song; you would think of the person who has ever made you enchanted. Sometimes, when you walk in a room full of people. You find yourself being trapped in a world full of forcing laughter and faking smiles. Just the same old place. You feel tired. You feel so lonely. But when you catch that person’s eyes, suddenly, walls of your insecurities, all those shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when you see his face. Do you still remember the playful conversation you once had with that person? Do you still remember how the streetlights shined and make her face look like an angel? Do you still remember all the nameless moments that made you feel so alive when you spent you time with that person? I don’t know whether you do or not. But I do. I remember them all. One thing that I am good at is that I am good at keeping track of things, memories. Sometimes they make me happy. But most of time, they make me sad. So I start to choose to remember selectively. In other words, I am talking about the selective memories. I deliberately keep the good memories and throw away the bad part. It works well. Memories are supposed to be flawless without pain and tears. Alright, so back to this song. Taylor did not expect that Adam could ever hear this song back then. But in fact he did and he replicated this song with his own version and to my surprise, he even added Taylor’s name in the song. I shouted out aloud when I first heard his version of this song. And I can still feel his intense affection for Taylor. Adam’s songs are always my guilty pleasure. His voice always cheers me up and brings me peace. So here’s Adam young’s version of enchanted. Well, as a response to Taylor’s last lines “Please don&`&t be in love with someone else Please don&`&t have somebody waiting on you”. At the end of the song, I was touched when I heard Adam keep repeating the lines “I was never in love with someone else I never have somebody waiting on me Cause you were all of my dreams come true And I just wish you knew Taylor I was so in love with you” How can it get any better than the feeling that you fall in love with a person who also loves you back. They reciprocated each other with the best they can offer – the music. Although there was no further story between these two people but it leaves us these two unforgettable songs that influence countless people who have been through that kind of excitement when you flipped for a stranger you just met. Well, this is episode is a little special for me. Because I wanted to give it to a person who once has been the leading role of my version of “enchanted” as a farewell gift. So it’s a little personal. And maybe a little more emotional since I really put a lot of energy into this. Hope you don’t mind. Well, I started writing our story in my room when I got back. Because it just was this positive, wistful feeling of: I hope you understand just how much I loved meeting you. I hope that you know that meeting you was not something that I took lightly, or just in passing. And I think my favorite part of that song is the part where, it goes to sort of a stream of consciousness of ‘Please don’t be in love with someone else/Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.’ Because at that moment, that’s exactly what my thoughts were. And there were so many questions in my mind that kept me up at night. Do you even like me? Or am I am just another stranger that quickly passed through your life and leaves no trace? I really don’t know. I still remember the first day I met you. You acted like a kid. A lovely lovely naughty kid. That night was flawless. When I close my eyes and drift away and I think of you. I still remember the dim streetlights along the road where we took a walk back home. I still remember every look upon your face; you never know how it took my breath away. And the way you looked into my eyes with your dazzling eyes always made me feel nervous. It was like you were looking right into my soul and I’ve got nowhere to hide. I liked the way you held my hands and you always liked to make fun of me but you were gradually being so untouchable when you started to leave me in the cold. I was still reaching out but all I’ve got was silence. Regardless of your mild indifference to me, my mind always forgets to remind me you are a bad idea. But actually I am just a house of cards. Easy to cave in when it comes to you. I had couples of dreams about you. Good ones, bad ones. In one of that dreams, you were standing there in front of me, just close enough to touch. It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name. Well, don’t laugh at me. I always dream impossible dreams. Maybe it was wrong at the very beginning. But to me, maybe it’s just wrong enough to make it feel so right. I don’t know if you still you still remember a song that I once sang in front of you which is called “last kiss”. That song was something that I wanted to say to you. I personally love this line in that song. Which is “ all I don’t know is I don’t know how to be something you’ll miss”. Yes I truly don’t know how to be something you’ll miss. I can feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe. There were so many words I held back as you were leaving too soon. Ok, now I don’t know what to say. Because words seem really too pale to express my heart since you are leaving and never come back. If you are listening, I bet this time of night you are still up I bet you&`&re sitting in your chair by your window, looking out in the city. And I just want to tell you. It takes everything in me not to call you and I wish I could run to you. I just can&`&t say hello to you and risk another goodbye. And I hope you know that every time I don&`&t, I almost do. I almost do....And I hope sometimes you also wonder &`&bout me. Do you remember the movie you recommended, before sunrise right? I watched it again and again for a million times. And I have watched all the sequels. This movie also tells a story between two complete strangers who met on a train and how they had an unforgettable night together. In that movie, the girl made her wildest choice to run with a stranger and had the best night in her life. I was wondering, what if she didn’t have the guts to do that. What could happen next? Then it occurred to me that maybe it’s all about fate. We are meant to meet. And I’ll never regret the same choice I made Maybe you don’t believe this. Even if it doesn’t seem quite right. I still want to tell you. Nix, You meant for me much more than anyone I’ve met before. And I don&`&t wanna wake up one day. And not remember what time erased. Hope I never lose that feeling. I used to get whenever you&`&d call. &`&Cause I&`&m not scared of what love gave me and took away. And I just don&`&t wanna lose your face. I wish I could close my eyes and see you; I wish the sky had your face; and the oceans had your eyes; and the sunset had your lips; and I had you. How I wish this was the very first page, not where the story line ends. My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again “It was really enchanting to meet you.” At the end, there is a song that I shared with you a long time ago back to the time when you were on the bus back home. I always share the songs with a reason. And my reason is behind the lyrics and all I want to say is in that song. Wherever you go, I hope it&`&s nice where you are. And I hope the sun shines and it&`&s a beautiful day In case I&`&ll never see you again. Good morning, good after noon, good evening and good night. Hope you’ll miss me when you are looking out for yourself out there. Goodbye, N Love, D
