豪斯医生中的音乐之───hallelujah

  


第二季的第一集是个sad story, Clarence是一个手上有4条人命，第二天就要被处决的重罪杀人犯。他突然产生幻觉并晕倒在地。House说服Cuddy接手了这个病人，Clarence最终被五花大绑送到了医院,经过一系列的试错，摸索，从毒品滥用，怀疑到酮症酸中毒，再到结核，House医生甚至推断出Clarence曾企图吞打印机油墨自杀，可是这一切都不能最终解释Clarence的症状。最终House怀疑到了嗜铬细胞瘤，这种肿瘤能导致肾上腺素的异常释放，而Clarence杀人的狂暴可能与此有关。嗜铬细胞瘤最终被证实了，肿瘤被切除，Clarence被治好了，他将被送回监狱，等待最终的死刑……剧末，低婉而熟悉的旋律想起，这就是这首Hallelujah。


这首歌旋律唯美，调子忧伤，在寂静的夜里去听简直是首能touch你灵魂的音乐。其实它本身就是一首很有故事的曲子，Hallelujah在希伯莱语里就是赞美上帝的意思。原作者加拿大音乐家Leonard Cohen，他之后被很多歌手翻唱或者改编过，最有名的也许就是来自片中末尾Jeff Buckley的翻唱版本。他的歌词是这样的：

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...


歌词的意思是受一个有名的圣经故事启发的，也就是Samson和Delilah的故事：
Samson 一个古代以色列的犹太人，他借着上帝所赐极大的力气，徒手击杀雄狮并只身与以色列的外敌菲力斯人争战周旋而著名。
Samson蒙上帝赐的力气，本当可以有更大的作为，可是他个性倔强，不能接受旁人的劝告尤其是在婚姻的事上，不尊重以色列人的律法和父母的劝戒，随自己的喜好，娶腓力斯女子为妻。他更随意放纵肉体的情欲，与妓女和坏女子Delilah交往，还以为自己可以一面享受肉欲，一面保有力量，最后不能抵挡女色的诱惑，泄露了超人力气的来源和秘密(也就是他的头发)， Delilah便趁Samson熟睡之时，剪去了他赋有魔法的头发，使他彻底丧失了力量，成为腓力斯人的阶下囚。并被他们挖其双眼并被囚于监狱中推磨，受尽羞辱。
不久，在腓力斯人的祭祖盛典中，Samson又被拉入神殿受尽了百般的侮辱。痛苦万分的他在巨大精神的折磨中向上帝默默忏悔，并暗暗祈祷，希望上帝能够给他一次悔过自新的机会，同时也希望能再次赋予他神奇的力量。就在腓力斯人纵酒狂欢庆贺破解Samson魔力的时候，被绑在腓力斯神殿石柱上的Samson突然感到浑身又在逐渐地充满了力量，他知道，这是上帝宽恕了他，并使他重新获得力量。就在腓力斯人狂欢至热烈的顶点之时，重新获得神力的Samson使出了全力，猛然推倒了巨大的神殿，自己则与这三千敌人同归于尽。


这是个令人读来扼腕的故事，歌里面所唱的：
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
说的就是这件事。


Samson的悔过让他重新得到了力量，Clarence得知自己病的真相也很悔恨，Foreman最终决定去法庭上为他作证，在听来就像寂静的夜空下天际的那一头传来的Hallelujah声中，我在想，他能得到宽恕吗？
