【经典民谣】Black Box Recorder - Seasons in the Sun
很多人听过这首歌，Westlife也翻唱过，其实原唱是Terry Jack，一个六十年代并不出名的乐队。Black Box Recorder的这个忧郁抒情版本很特别，用易碎的少女唱腔渲染灵魂的流放，寻找着回归精神本原的路径。
这首歌的歌词，其实是一个囚犯在行刑前三天写的临终遗言，没有一点删改。他是个卡车司机，杀了两个人。他和他的好友同时爱上了一个女人，他娶了她，而他的朋友却一直将这份爱藏在心里。因为工作的原因，他一直出门在外，可想而知会发生什么……
seasons in the sun有三段，第一段写给他的好友，第二段是写给他爸爸，第三段是写给他的女儿。春意盎然，小鸟在歌唱，美丽的花朵，嬉戏的孩子，漂亮的女孩……这些美好的场景反衬出他无限悲伤与绝望。
