The rose
手嶌葵的演唱，不需你情绪波澜，只要安静的闭眼听她吟唱，宛若风中的气息流动，安静且让人珍惜。
《The rose》是70年代末一部同名电影的片尾曲，由女主角Bette Midler演唱，不美丽却动人的，就是the rose……that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose，一旦沐浴到春日暖阳，便会绽放成美丽的玫瑰……Bette Midler的演唱有手嶌葵没有的东西，有剧情，有生活，有过程，更有自己的一段完整心情融入在里面，她历经变迁的声音好似能触动我心里更多的地方。（个人好像一直被欧美歌手稍厚稍哑的声音引起共鸣）
较喜欢的还有Westlife的版本，虽远不及Bette Midler那种温暖那种甘心忍受疼痛融化掉的触动，但看这个视频时，手就去扯纸巾了……貌似这种感动比较好形容吧，不是看不见摸不着的只有心才知道的感动，而是鼻子酸酸的、嗓子堵得疼、眼泪一阵一阵的热涌。
some say love,it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
有人说，爱是一条长河，浸润着柔嫩的芦苇
some say love,it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
有人说，爱是一柄利刃，只留下泣血的灵魂
some say love,it is a hunger,an endless aching need.
有人说，爱是一种欲念，是欲罢不能的煎熬
I say love,it is a flower,and you it's only seed.
我说，爱是一朵鲜花，而你，是那唯一的种子
it's the heart,afraid of breaking,that never learns to dance.
害怕受伤的心，不会真正的律动
it's the dream,afraid of waking,that never takes a chance.
害怕苏醒的梦，只能千篇一律
it's the one who won't be taken,who cannot seem to give.
那个对的人，谁也无法带走，但也没有人能给你
and the soul,afraid of dyin',that never learns to live.
而害怕死亡的灵魂，永远也无法领悟生命的真谛
when the night has been too lonely,and the road has been too long,
当长夜太过孤单，前路太过漫长
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
你会觉得，爱只属于那些幸运儿与强者
just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,lies the seed,
这时你要记得，有那么一颗种子，它深藏在寒冬苦雪之下
that with the sun's love,in the spring becomes the rose
一旦沐浴到春日暖阳，便会绽放成美丽的玫瑰
