021、Altan - Daily Growing（日渐长大）
7 C& f+ i. z5 K/ t @9 U8 M8 J* T 又一首爱尔兰音乐天籁，有故事的歌曲，父女俩对话般的吟唱、以及歌中那种仿佛已经渗入骨髓的忧伤让人无比感伤。故事是这样的：一个女子在年轻的时候由于父亲的安排嫁给了一个显贵的子弟，她开始担心自己的年龄有一天会成为感情悲剧的主因，她埋怨父亲错误的将自己嫁给了一个比她小很多的男子。婚后第二年，他们有了自己的孩子，而她的夫君却也还是一个孩子，在一天天的长大。她送他去上学，为他裹了蓝色的头巾，她怕别人抢走父亲为自己选定依存的真爱。而命运的捉弄，却使她很快成了寡妇，在为爱人缝制寿衣的时候，她的悲哀成了整个曲子的灵魂……
