Birthday

今晚我重新温习了Beatles《White Album》里的Birthday，这首短小的作品，听上去十分欢快，据说是Beatles回归传统摇滚的代表作，传统并未回归，因为专辑发行不久，他们便解散了，一个时代也随之结束。

Birthday (Lennon/McCartney)

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party.

I would like you to dance--Birthday
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance-Birthday
I would like you to dance--Birthday
Dance

You say it's your birthday
Well it's my birthday too--yeah
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

据说这首歌曲的背景乐是Ono Yoko首次在Beatles唱片中发声，同时参与的还有Pattie Boyd——Harrison的第一任妻子，之后离婚，又嫁给了Eric Clapton，Eric Clapton著名的歌曲Layla便是为她所写的。年轻的Eric Clapton当年同时爱上了好友Harrison的妻子Pattie Boyd和其妹妹Paula，当Paula听到这首Layla后，知道在Eric Clapton心中，自己只是姐姐的一个替代者，于是黯然离去。

突然想起这些歌曲，
想起现今都是老爷爷级别人物当年的少年心事、风花雪月，
想起自己独自听这些歌曲的年代。
