在《Hell Freezes Over》專輯中,Eagles收入了一首新曲子Learn to be still。
這是在Eagles在1980年代解散後,14年以來的第一張專輯,由Don Henley主唱,是一首簡短卻富有深意的歌曲,歌詞如下(取自http://flyinmydream.blogspot.tw/2008/02/learn-to-be-still.html)。
又是樂園中的另一天 It's just another day in paradise
你倒在你的床上 As you stumble to your bed
你把一切交給沈默 You'd give anything to silence
腦內的聲音卻響個不停 Those voices ringing in your head
你以為你會找到快樂 You thought you could find happiness
只要翻過那青山的後面 Just over that green hill
你以為你可以滿足 You thought you would be satisfied
但你將永遠不能夠 But you never will
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
我們就恍如失去牧人的羊 We are like sheep without a shepherd
不懂如何自處 We don't know how to be alone
所以我們在這片沙漠當中遊蕩 So we wander 'round this desert
結果皈依了錯誤的神祗 And wind up following the wrong gods home
但是羊群會呼朋引伴 But the flock cries out for another
他們一再回應那呼喚的鈴響 And they keep answering that bell
又一個眼如星光閃爍的救世主 And one more starry-eyed messiah
遭遇殘暴的送別 Meets a violent farewell
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
現在你花園裡的花朵 Now the flowers in your garden
它們並不是那麽的香甜 They don't smell so sweet
也許你早已忘記 Maybe you've forgotten
你所身處的就是天堂 The heaven lying at your feet
在我們發出的訊息中 There are so many contradictions
有太多的矛盾 In all these messages we send
(我們不停追問) (We keep asking)
我如何能夠解脫? How do I get out of here
那裡才能讓我容身? Where do I fit in?
就算這個世界分崩離析 Though the world is torn and shaken
就算你的心片片破碎 Even if your heart is breakin'
還是有待你的覺悟 It's waiting for you to awaken
有一天你將能夠 And someday you will
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
你就繼續跑吧 You just keep on runnin'
繼續跑吧 Keep on runnin'
