Butterfly（蝴蝶）- 玛莉亚·凯利：我们真的可以注定相爱
带上耳机听歌更有身临其境的感觉
《Butterfly》（蝴蝶）是一首玛莉亚·凯利主创的一首英文歌曲，从歌词写作到作曲。如果仔细品味这首歌的歌词，总感觉这样对待爱情的样子有些可怕：如果你想做一只自由的蝴蝶，离我而去，那就去飞吧，飞进太阳。蝴蝶飞进太阳里，那会是什么结果？接着，歌词有继续：如果你能返回到我身边，我们就是命中注定的一对情侣。我们中国人说：爱之深，恨之切。这种“哲理”在这首歌中体现得一览无余。
不过，反过来听听玛莉亚唱歌的风格：充满了温柔和期待，轻声细语，静静哼唱，巴不得把听众的心唱化了。再加上那些伴唱的和风细雨，更加让情感冲突打动人心。唱法和歌词，形成明显的对比，加深了我们对“爱之深，恨之切”的理解。
歌会越听越美。多听几遍，也许能听出你想要的那种味道。
