很喜愛的一位民謠歌手，他詩意的歌曲，
為自己青少年的生活書寫了一段如
「Same Old Lang Syne」般的意境，
總在Longer柔軟如絲絨的歌頌裏，
讀見愛情的直叫人生死相許，
也在「Leader of the band」
自傳性的人生故事裏，
尋回那段學習吉他年日裏的孤獨。
Dan Fogelberg的歌，簡單純淨、真摯動人，
隨著時間款款而行，在生活不經意的遺忘裏，
依然深埋在心底寧靜的一隅，
像是一件件珍藏的紀念品。
Dan Fogelberg ~ Souvenirs
Here is a poem that my lady sent down
Some morning while I was away
Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey
And here is the key to a house far away
Where I used to live as a child
They tore down the building when I moved away
And left the key unreconciled
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
When faced with the past the strongest man cries…cries
And here is a sunrise to set on your sill
The ghosts of the dawn moving near
They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still…
Sitting among souvenirs
