近期展開的「披頭四展」吸引了當年老愛唱著〈Hey Jude〉、〈Yesterday〉等歌曲的粉絲,然而當我們高唱” Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away”的同時,或許都忘了他們其實不只以經典造型和動聽歌曲深深影響世人,他們對人生的想法,更成為許多人的生活靈感!現在就讓他們暫時放下樂器,聽聽他們說過什麼吧!

約翰藍儂 John Lennon (1940-1980)
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
「一個人做的夢,就只能是個夢;一群人懷著同一個夢想,便是真實。」
註:此句話最初出現於小野洋子所寫的歌曲〈Now or Never〉歌詞中。
“If someone thinks that peace and love is just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”
「如果有人認為愛與和平只是留在60年代的陳腔濫調,那這可真是個問題!愛與和平是永恆不滅的。」
“It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.”
「我的頭髮多長、皮膚是什麼顏色、或我是男是女,這些都不重要。」

“As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.”
「每一個白癡背後都有個偉大的女人」
“Love is a promise; love is a souvenir, once given, never forgotten, never let it disappear.”
「愛是承諾、是紀念,一旦付出就永遠不要忘記、永遠不要讓它消逝。」

保羅麥卡尼 Paul McCartney (1942-)
“Criticism didn't really stop us and it shouldn't ever stop anyone, because critics are only the people who can't get a record deal themselves.”
「批評從未讓我們停下,也不該阻礙任何人,因為那些批評者只不過是無法自己拿到唱片合約的人。」
“I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.”
「我過去常這樣想,做怪事的人就是怪人;但現在我明白了,稱別人為怪人的人,才是真的奇怪的人。」
“You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.”
「你可以從一個人對待夥伴的方式,判斷出這個人真實的個性。」

Ringo Starr 林哥史達 (1940-)
“I don't collect any memorabilia. I wish I'd have kept everything I had. But who knew you had to keep it. Just gave it away. And we lost so much and we didn't look after a lot of it.”
「我不蒐集紀念物,我希望我能夠留下所有我曾擁有的東西,但誰知道什麼是該留的呢?不如放手吧。我們失去太多而且也未必能好好看照這些記憶。」
“First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money. I played drums because I loved them.”
「首先也是最重要的,我是個鼓手。但我不靠打鼓賺錢,我打鼓純粹是因為我愛這件事。」

喬治哈里森George Harrison (1943-2001)
“As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.”
「只要你心不存善念,就會有人與你為敵。」
“I wanted to be successful, not famous.”
「我想做到的事『成功』,而非『成名』。」
“If you drop out you put yourself further away from the goal of life than if you were to keep working.”
「如果你中途離席了,就會讓自己離你的目標越來越遠。」
喬治哈里森曾說他人生中最大的兩個轉捩點就是加入和離開披頭四,保羅麥卡尼也曾說披頭四真是他媽的超給力樂團。你可以說他們過分自信,但他們對於夢想的執著,以及對人生的體悟,卻相當值得後世的我們重新思考一番。
現在,妞編輯為大家點播一首歌給大家,讓言簡意賅的智慧語言”let it be”以及披頭四溫暖的聲音,陪伴大家度過每個為煩事所困的時刻吧。
〈Let It Be〉
