你是否曾經,在成長的過程中,迫不及待的想遠離自己的城市,到想像中更有趣、更美好、更大、或更有前景的地方,去看世界。

一直到離開許久以後,也許你又會在某些情境下,想念起曾經成長的地方,那裡有美好的回憶,和所有的不完美,也許是難聞的氣味、嚇人的擁擠、或是曾經讓你想跑遠的任何東西。

我越來越覺得,那帶著喜歡與討厭,雜陳著五味記憶的情緒,常是最讓人想念的,家的味道。

來自瑞典的日瑞混血女歌手Maia Hirasawa,唱的這首Gothenburg(瑞典文為Göteborg),就讓人在她如陽光般溫暖的動人歌聲下,感受到一份回家的心情。

Gothenburg是位於瑞典西南部的城市。我只曾匆匆路過,及在朋友的文章中讀過,然而聽Maia Hirawasa對著屬於她的城市唱著歌,竟然也足以讓自己的家鄉記憶回溫。

讓人-很。想。家。

幾週前曾在芬蘭雜誌上看一位專欄作者寫著,她曾離開「邊疆」小鎮,到首都赫爾辛基闖盪多年,如今重回小鎮時才深刻發覺,大多數人看來不起眼的小城市,裡頭蘊藏的是許多有趣的文化創意寶藏。

能夠開始「看見」,也許是視野的薰陶累積,也許也是一份重新看待「家」的心情。

她以自己的城市為例,呼應著每一個在人們心中有著「家」之地位的城市,鼓勵大家學著愛自己的家鄉、愛自己的城市,我不再記得詳細的內文,卻記得文字呼應著我的感受。

就去聽聽Maia Hirawasa的「家」吧,也許你也會被感染一股,「重新看見家」的心情。

*Gothenburg的歌詞:

Trams coming in, there´s wind from the sea
But I don´t feel cold, it´s not shivering me
And I thought I didn´t like this city but I´ve changed

Pass the place were I lived in 2002
And I can see the square close to my old school
In the middle of Northtown, just feeling good
Did not think I liked this city,
Thought I, thought I hated this city but

Gothenburg I came back to you
Now you be nice to me, then I´ll be nice to you
Gothenburg I thank you
You gave me someone to love, and I really owe you

Walk up to the hill, there is someone I like
He has those wrinkles close to his eyes
But they´re not from crying, he laughs more than I
Did not think I liked this city
Thought I, thought I hated this city but

Gothenburg…

R. Kelly on the stereo, a boy is dancing
Around in the living room it´s Monday morning
And I don´t ever want to go home again
Did not think I liked this city
Thought I, thought I hated this city but
