今天脑袋里在唱的是《Wait 'Til U Hear From Me》。
这首歌由德国歌手Sarah Connor演唱，不过是英文不是德文。上学期间我很喜欢听这首歌，觉得节奏感很强，几年之后，看了一篇盘点反毒品歌曲的文章，才知道这首歌的主题原来是这个。
对，我曾经是听歌不管歌词的那种人，这也是我喜欢听非中文歌曲的原因——越听不懂越好。现在则更喜欢看歌词，一句话若是唱到了心里，就会爱屋及乌，连带旋律也喜欢上。
歌中的女孩因为吸毒，屡次推辞了好姐妹的邀约；现实中的很多女性，则是为了照顾家人，放弃了好友聚会，似乎社会共识就是女性应该为了家庭牺牲更多。当然，这并不是可以相提并论的两件事。
歌词如下：
This song is about Maria

A close friend of mine
