路走到底了，就轉彎。

和爸媽的年齡差距了快要30歲，每當爸媽說起她們小時候如何又如何時，卻只能夠憑著自己曾有的經驗去想像她們過去的畫面，像是：10歲時的媽媽放學後要去田裡頭幫忙務農的外公、像是沒法讀完專科的老爸辛苦的在某家工廠工作等，

我們之間因時代背景所產生的文化感知有所不同、因生活經驗而產生思考邏輯的差異，有不少觀念上的代溝。但卻奇妙的可以透過對於歌曲(也算是一種藝術創作)拉近彼此的距離、產生了話題，強化了我們的連結。

從小就知道媽媽喜歡費玉清，她總是不厭其煩的反覆聽著費玉清的歌，從聽著碟盤的費玉清到錄音帶的費玉清到聽CD唱片的費玉清，後來當我只要從電視上看見或聽見費玉清，腦海中就出現媽媽在廚房炒菜的樣子、媽媽打掃家裡的模樣、媽媽放鬆的坐在客廳看書的樣子。某年替媽媽買了兩張費玉清的現場演唱會，不論她早就聽了那些歌曲幾百遍，媽媽還是說在現場聽的時候心裡頭感覺很幸福與感動。

透過費玉清，我認識了媽媽的另一面，她纖細、她多情、她簡單，她不再只是那個會叨叨念念又容易緊張的媽媽。

透過某些歌曲也和自己的記憶有了更強的連結，

當聽見王傑的[孤星]，就記憶起想要當個漂泊旅人又孤獨的國小國中時期，
當萬芳唱起了[孩子氣]，就想起高中時候那個狂狷自以為不平凡的自己，
當聽見陳昇的[風箏]就想起了高中時候灑脫又清新的好友，
當聽見SparkleHorse，就想起說著要一輩子都要搖滾著的過往情人，
當聽見Coldplay的[Yellow]，就想起某個短暫迷戀的情人學生，

現在慢慢地變老，開始喜歡聽著爵士樂，偶爾也聽聽古典清音樂，卻又慢慢地接近了爸爸的世界。

原來藝術就是這樣，可以橫跨好多個世紀、可以突破年齡時代的鴻距，讓回憶不僅只是回憶，有了生動的故事情節與立體的畫面。

Coldplay - [Yellow]

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

your skin Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do

Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

your skin Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
you know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine

look at the stars look how they shine for you
and all the things that you do
