这首“布法罗.斯普林菲尔德”乐队为60年代发生在洛杉矶“长条带”上的年轻人与警察对抗而作的抗议歌曲让乐队一夜成名。当时“长条带”街上有很多无所事事的中学生，留着长发喜欢聚集在街上抽烟喝酒唱歌海聊，此举影响了街面商人的生意，于是商人们联合起来游说政府对“长条带”实行强制宵禁。青年们则针锋相对地组织起来为自己的权力与政府对抗。结果洛杉矶警方出动大批军警将整个“长条带”全部堵死，抓了几百名十四五岁的青少年。
   “斯普林菲尔德”乐队虽然当时不在现场，但乐队的成员们都曾亲身体会过警察对另类青年们的敌视态度，得知“长条带”上发生的事后，愤怒的他们立刻创作了此歌《For What It s Worth》（凭什么值得这样），以示声援！
    这里发生了一些事情
    到底怎么了谁也说不清楚
    那里有个人手里拿着枪
    警告我们不许随便东张西望
    该结束了，孩子们，这是什么声音？
    人们请关注这里发生的事情
    此歌抑扬顿挫，在当时的美国青少年中非常流行，因为这首歌说出了他们的心里话：为什么年龄小就得不到社会的尊重？这首歌可以说是第一次把代沟当作了抗议的主题。不管社会如何发展，代沟问题都将永远存在。



ARTIST: Buffalo Springfield
TITLE: For What It's Worth
Lyrics and Chords




There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down



There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down




What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down




Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away




We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

镜　头：阿甘和他的部队进入敌人的埋伏埋伏圈
解　读：
　　一个下雨天，阿甘他们和往常一样走在树林里，这时候，突然雨停了，这时候放的歌曲是Buffalo SPringfield乐队的《不论真假／For What It’s Worth》，这首歌第一句歌词就是“有什么事情要发生了……”没错，就在雨停的一瞬间，枪声炮声响彻四周，他们中了埋伏了。就在这场战斗中,丹中尉失去了双腿,而好友巴布则死在阿甘的怀里，最后的一句话是：我想回家……这也是整部影片最伤感的情节之一。



音乐人／乐队介绍：
　　说道“水牛春田／Buffalo SPringfield”就不得不说到一个大名鼎鼎的人物：Neil Young，出生于1945年11月12日的加拿大多伦多。他最早的战斗历史要追溯到五十年代中期的Squires， 一支半职业化的乐队。1963年他随Squires乐队一起出现在加拿大民谣乐坛而开始了他的演唱生涯。1964年，他定居纽约，加入Mynah Birds乐队。不久后，因对Mynah Birds成绩感到不满，他和乐队贝司手Bruce Palmer共同前往洛杉矶寻求发展。在洛杉矶，他俩和Stephen Stills成立了被称为当时美国最好的Buffalo Springfield乐队。并取得成功。但乐队的成功导致了一系列危机开始让Neil Young感到厌烦，他于1968年4月退出乐队。
　　Neil Young是唯一可以和Bob Dylan相提并论的民摇艺人，从六十年代末一直到今天，Neil Young从未停止过对摇滚乐的探索，从早期的rockabilly、布鲁斯一直到硬摇滚。但是他最喜爱的还是民摇、乡摇。Neil Young大量的作品影响了几代人，甚至一些丝毫没有创作能力的grunge乐队都乐于自称源于他的影响。在Neil Young进入演绎生涯第四个十年后的今天，他依然保持着旺盛的创作能力。
　　Neil Young的音乐观念核心始终是强烈的独立意识。他近乎心甘情愿地否认期望、潮流以及所谓的趣味。他是个摇滚英雄，但绝不会向名誉和地位低头。他的歌曲个性鲜明或带有浓烈的政治气息。他为自己民谣摇滚和歌手兼词曲作者身份而感到自豪，同时又摒弃他们，不断超越着自己。然而他绝不是传统意义上的折衷主义者。他尽可能地以音乐形式的发展作为自己创作的唯一目的，而不是简单的尝试，这个过程至今仍在持续中。Neil Young什么时候追求什么样的音乐风格从来都是都是无关紧要的。任何音乐都会因为他独特气质的介入而立刻身价倍增，任何一个有他参与的乐队都会成名——Buffalo Springfield、Crazy Horse、Crosby，Stills，Nash And Young。



　　这首《不论真假／For What It’s Worth》，就是当时Buffalo SPringfield乐队大获成功的作品，它描述的是对日落大道上青年被警察镇压的抗议






　　关于Buffalo SPringfield这个名称其实是由两个城市名称组成：
　　纽约州西部城市布法罗（Buffalo,New York）
　　麻萨诸塞州Springfield城（Springfield, Massachusetts）

Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Said I don't want leave you lonely, You got to make me change my mind. Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine. But you know that I called you, I called too many times. You can call me baby, you can call me anytime. But you got to call me. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Said I don't want leave you lonely, You got to make me change my mind. I don't want no one to squeeze me, They might take away my life. I don't want no one to squeeze me, They might take away my life. I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night. This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need. This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need. But I'm too old to go chasing you around, Wasting my precious energy. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Said I don't want leave you lonely, You got to make me change my mind. Baby just give me one reason. Give me just one reason why. Baby just give me one reason. Give me just one reason why I should stay. Said I told you that I loved you, And there ain't no more to say.

Norah Jones - I've Got To See You Again



Lines on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again



Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock
And I know you're not home
I can't help myself



I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream



But no I won't go for any of those things
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again




No I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where you've been
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again



Oh I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

 

第一次听这首歌，是某年长假去旅游回来的路上。火车摇摇晃晃的，我让cd机反复这首歌，喜欢里面的钢琴，提琴，鼓点揉在一起的感觉。慢慢的，可以边听边想许多事情，一起去旅游的兄弟在旁边大睡，而我弄了杯咖啡，随着音乐的节奏慢慢的品味，当心情放松下来，我的头脑就更加的敏锐。
