說到《穿著Prada的惡魔》一片中我最喜歡的橋段,是開場那段精彩的蒙太奇。經過剪接之後,主角小安儘管穿著普通,與其他「活像厭食症發作」的年輕美眉相比,馬上多了幾分「村姑」味道出來。
這首歌就是開場時的插曲,頗令人印象深刻。〈Suddenly I See〉是收錄在2004的專輯《望遠鏡下的愛情 Eye to the Telescope》中,由曾獲葛萊美提名的蘇格蘭鄉村搖滾歌手KT Tunstall所做。值得一提的是寫的很讚的歌詞,她是在描述一個勇敢做自己,用自信的笑容感染周遭人們的現代女孩,一說是歌手自己的翻版。同時根據維基百科的紀錄,這首歌也跟蔡依林的〈愛無赦〉一樣,被美國的同志社群視為隱喻出櫃的經典歌曲,相當受到愛戴。
我個人也很喜歡這首歌,因為這首歌就某種方面給了人們許多陽光般的自信。希望我自己能真正成為一個擁有擁有the power to be、the power to give、the power to see的人,如電影中的小安一樣。
Suddenly I see
Lyrics & Music: KT Tunstall
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
Makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she’s born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you’re trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on the word
And she’s taller than most
And she’s looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in the magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
