6人/130000000の奇跡

早忘了第一次遇見這首歌是什麼時候，之後遇見，是中學二年級的那年…
一向只喜歡古董樂的音樂老師，向我們推薦了他。
這首歌陪我們走過了兩年的音樂課，最後一堂音樂課，也在這首歌的陪伴下結束。
手嶌葵之所以為什麼被宮崎駿選中，也是因為The Rose。
她寄給吉卜力的DEMO裡，就是清唱了The Rose。
很多人翻唱過也很多人聽過，手嶌葵這版本大概是我聽過黃鶯鶯詮釋過後最唱進心裡的版本。

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need

I say love is a flower
And you, it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed

That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
