Altan——Daily Growing
一首委婉凄美到你想掉眼泪的歌曲
一个女子在年轻的时候由于父亲的安排嫁给了一个显贵的子弟，她开始担心自己的年龄有一天会成为感情悲剧的主因，她埋怨父亲错误地将自己嫁给了一个比她小很多的男子。婚后第二年，他们有了自己的孩子，而她的夫君却也还是一个孩子，在一天天的长大。 她送他去上学，为他裹了蓝色的头巾，她怕别人抢走父亲为自己选定依存的真爱。而命运的捉弄，却使她很快成了寡妇，在为爱人缝制寿衣的时候，她的悲哀成了整个曲子的灵魂……
没有太多电子和流行元素的介入，自然、淳朴、原始，这一首来自 altan的凯尔特元歌曲，便是这样毫无雕饰。深深打动人的，是父女俩间这般现实的对话以及女子失去爱人后汩汩流淌的哀伤...

I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud,

With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,

Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
也许是命运的捉弄, 就这样走完他的一生
这首歌另外还有一个版本，Ivana Spagna——Con Il Tuo Nome
意大利女歌手Ivana Spagna演唱的这首曲子令人感到一股莫明的悲伤， 她那高亢浓郁的嗓音似乎不在在意你是否已处悲伤，仍然用一个个伤感的旋律和自符狠狠的把你推入哀伤与悲凉的旋涡，似乎这种莫明的伤感已经透入了你的骨髓直至灵魂深处，久久激荡……
