这首Florence的前奏总让人觉得非常熟悉，似乎是回荡在记忆中很久远了的旋律。舒缓的提琴，磁性的嗓音，抚慰人心，让人安静。
Crooked Still是一支蓝草乐队。2004年在美国波士顿成立，现有成员5名，主要成员是音乐学院的学生。和传统的兰草民谣相比，Crooked Still 的音乐更精致人文，特别是器乐的演奏非常棒，音乐素质确实功底不凡。
以提琴为基调，时常点缀着班卓的繁复段落，Crooked Still就是这样一支非典型女声乡村乐队，嫁接出来的音乐风格不一定都合适，不过这次提琴加班卓的味道还是相当优秀的。
Florence — Crooked Still
Not many years their rounds shall roll
似水光阴终将逝
Each moment brings it night
天高海深总有尽
And all your glories stand revealed
你的才华总有一天会展现
To our admiring eye
我们总是那样的羡慕你
Your wills of nature speed your course
你的意志帮你度过重重难关
Your mortal powers decay
如果只是个凡人这是何等销蚀
Fast as you bring the night of death
艰难的夜，就快过了
You bring eternal day
永恒之日即将来临
You weary heavy-laden souls
你感到厌倦，灵魂是那样不堪重负
Who are oppressed sore
遭受了重重压迫
You travelers through the wilderness
穿行于荒郊野岭
To Canaan’s peaceful shore
去追寻那片安宁祥和的乐土
Through beating winds and chilly rains
簌簌寒风阴雨绵绵
And waters deep and cold
雨水重重地击打在你身上，刺骨的寒
And enemies surrounding you
敌人向你逼近
Have courage and be bold
你勇敢且无所畏惧
The storms and hurricanes arise
狂风暴雨
The desert all around
一望无际的沙漠将我们包围
And fiery serpents oft appear
口吐火焰的怪蛇再三
Through the enchanted ground
从施了魔法的地底钻出
Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear
漆黑的夜，云层阴郁而恐怖
And dragons often roar
火龙向我们咆啸
But when the gospel trump we hear
但当福音的号角响起
We’ll press for Canaan’s shore
希望的彼岸就在眼前
