来一点城市的夜浪漫，如何？

艺术源于生活，作为艺术类型之一，音乐所写的，也无非是或情或景，或者说得高大上一些，写的是精神，写的是文化。

听多了淳朴欢快的民歌，又或者是节奏明快的旋律，我们来一点城市的浪漫，如何？

这是一首老歌，London by Night（夜伦敦），上世纪中页美籍英裔词曲作家Carroll Coates所写的一首情景交融的歌曲，说的是入夜后的伦敦城，路面上闪烁着金粼粼的月光，空气中弥漫着魔幻般的烟草香味，城墙，广场，泰晤士河的桥边，吻着我心爱的人，爱着这伦敦之夜......

- 歌词 -

Wherever my footsteps may wander

It's still the same moon shining down

But I can't forget, when I saw the sun set

and the moon rise on old London Town..

London by night is a wonderful sight

There is magic abroad in the air

I'm often told that the streets turn to gold

When the moon shines on Circus and Square

Deep in the dark that envelops the park

There´s romance in each cigarette glow

Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems

Seem to wink at each girl and her beau

Up comes the moon when the city's asleep

He´s not alone, for it seems

Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch

While each Londoner dreams

My love and I saw the sun leave the sky

Then we kissed in the fast-fading light

Most people say they love London by day

But lovers love London by night
