你能感觉到我就在你身边吗
就好像我正在阅读一本深爱的书
现在我的阅读速度慢了下来
词与词的距离变得无比遥远
段与段之间成了无尽的留白
我还是能感觉到你的温度
感觉到书写我们故事的词语的重量



"The Moon Song" is a song from the 2013 feature film Her, with music composed by Karen Orzolek (Karen O) and lyrics by Orzolek and Spike Jonze. Performed by O during the film's end credits, the song was also performed by the film's main characters, Samantha (Scarlett Johansson) and Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix).



In January 2014, the song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, but lost to "Let It Go" from Frozen. O performed the song at the ceremony accompanied by Ezra Koenig on guitar on March 2, 2014. In December 2014, the song was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 57th Grammy Awards, but once again lost to "Let It Go".


 


Karen Lee Orzolek, known professionally as Karen O, is a South Korean-born American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. O is best known as the lead vocalist for the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. She has also been noted for her sense of fashion, wearing ostentatious outfits made by her friend, fashion designer Christian Joy.



《月亮之歌》是为电影《她》创作的歌曲,该片导演兼编剧、词曲作者斯派克·琼斯和凯伦·O长久合作。创作过程维持了凯伦·O为斯派克·琼斯的电影《野兽家园》配乐时的合作状态。该曲创作过程达10年之久,是两人之间的友谊和创作化学反应的写照。斯派克·琼斯希望凯伦·O为电影创作出一首情歌,表达坠入爱河的感觉。凯伦·O在沙发上阅读完《她》的剧本后,就到不远的餐桌旁创作并录制完该曲。
