《common people》
common people这首歌来自pulp乐队,NME评二十世纪最伟大britpop歌曲一百首的榜首。(虽然britpop这种曲风总共出现没多少年,榜上最早的歌曲诞生于1992……)
首先我先解一个梗,就是《十日麻瓜》里面第四天,有提到这首歌,戳了Draco的点。
他听着歌词心里有些难过。
You’ll never live like common people.
You’ll never do what common people do.
因为德拉科觉得哈利绝对不可能是普通人,也不会过普通人的生活。所以听到这几句词他挺崩溃的。哈利是一个英雄,即使他说他想过普通人的生活,可能也算是言不由衷,或者说压根做不到。
这首歌讲的就是一个不普通的人想过普通人的生活然后被唱歌的人开了嘲讽;对德拉科而言也是如此,《十日麻瓜》里,他始终觉得哈利是在玩一个过家家的游戏,也就是说,德拉科从头到尾都没有相信过哈利、没相信过哈利说自己没有魔法了。他一直战战兢兢地等待着这个过家家游戏的结束——哈利感到厌烦,然后消失不见回到他自己原本精彩的生活。“他可是哈利波特啊。”
……说着说着,觉得这篇文章比我自己想得要虐啊QAQ。不过既然我是写过很多次德拉科单恋哈利的人,得承认我心中【德拉科一直是抱着“哈利波特怎么可能喜欢我”的心情活着】如此ooc的设定是死也不改的部分。
呵呵。
