昔に戻るのは簡単である。あの頃一番好きだった曲を聴けばいい。本当に不思議なもので、体全体・五感が活性化し、一瞬その頃の風が吹き、自分を包む空間が変わる。そして甘酸っぱい気持ちが蘇る。
自分にとっては、Sting & Police の「
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE(見つめていたい)」だ。美しいシンプルなメロディーからはじまるこの曲を、CDの演奏プログラムを最大の35曲リピートに設定し、それをくり返しくり返し聞いていた。
「Every breath you take」Sting & Police
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please,
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
