This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen(这摇篮曲莎拉在全世界)
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
CHAPT ER ONE
The name of the song is “This Lullaby.” At this point, I’ve probably heard it, oh,
about a million times. Approximately.
All my life I’ve been told about how my father wrote it the day I was born. He
was on the road somewhere in Texas, already split from my mom. The story goes
that he got word of my birth, sat down with his guitar, and just came up with it, right
there in a room at a Motel 6. An hour of his time, just a few chords, two verses and a
chorus. He’d been writing music all his life, but in the end it would be the only song
he was known for. Even in death, my father was a one-hit wonder. Or two, I guess,
if you count me.
Now, the song was playing overhead as I sat in a plastic chair at the car
dealership, in the first week of June. It was warm, everything was blooming, and
summer was practically here. Which meant, of course, that it was time for my
mother to get married again.
This was her fourth time, fifth if you include my father. I chose not to. But they
were, in her eyes, married—if being united in the middle of the desert by someone
they’d met at a rest stop only moments before counts as married. It does to my
mother. But then, she takes on husbands the way other people change their hair
color : out of boredom, listlessness, or just feeling that this next one will fix
everything, once and for all. Back when I was younger, when I asked about my dad
and how they’d met, when I was actually still curious, she’d just sigh, waving her
hand, and say, “Oh, Remy, it was the seventies. You know.”
My mother always thinks I know everything. But she’s wrong. All I knew about
the seventies was what I’d learned in school and from the History Channel: Vietnam,
President Carter, disco. And all I knew about my father, really, was “This Lullaby.”
Through my life I’d heard it in the backgrounds of commercials and movies, at
weddings, dedicated long-distance on radio c
