yes, indeed... a love story behind it... Mathew told the story:

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Now make yourself a cup of hot tea, sit back, and I'll tell you a story about Bressanone...
  
  Several years ago, I fell deeply in love with a young woman, and also with a part of northern Italy known as South Tyrol. It borders Austria, just south of the Brenner mountain pass which separates Italy from Austria.
  
  South Tyrol used to be joined with North Tyrol (now a part of Austria) and West Tyrol (now a part of Switzerland). The people of this area speak a dialect of German. But since Tyrol was divided and South Tyrol became a part of Italy, all the place names are in both German and Italian.
  
  Anyway... I once worked for Greenpeace many years ago, where I met a young woman who melted my heart. We met while on a retreat in California's Yosemite National Park. After the retreat, she returned to the Colorado Greenpeace office, and eventually went back to school in New York state. I returned to the San Diego Greenpeace Office, and eventually went back to my home in the Yukon, Canada.
  
  Over the months we stayed in touch. Soon we discovered that we would both be close again. She was going to study art in Florence, Italy, and I was going to live in Munich, Germany performing with a rock band called "Marching Powder"... ahhhh yes, Marching Powder... but that's another story.
  
  When we were both in Europe, we made arrangements to meet in a place that was close to being between Florence and Munich. This was the South Tyrolian town called "Brixen" in German, or "Bressanone" in Italian. Bressanone is a beautiful town surrounded by small villages high in the mountain valleys with churches ringing and sheep in the meadows, and the awesome peaks of the Dolomite mountains towering beyond.
  
  We spent several days exploring the mountain villages and each other's hearts. And when the day came for her to return, I took her to a train station in a nearby village, and we said goodbye. It was very sad to be going our own ways again. With tears in my eyes, I got on a bus and headed for the train station in Bressanone. During the short 40 minute bus ride, I fell asleep. And while I slept, I had a dream in which I could hear this song, complete with the words and music. When I awoke, I got off the train and went to the nearest coffee shop to write the words and music on a napkin, so I would not forget.
  
  It was years later when I finally recorded the song. I will always have a place in my heart for her... and for that village... and for this song.

    有缘了,相遇了;
    了解了,相恋了;
    厌倦了,分手了,,,,

    在这茫茫的大千世界,
    漫漫的人生旅程中,
    从来没有预知过
    自己会遇到怎样的人,怎样的事。
    也无法知道谁会走进我的生命,
    谁又会远离我的视线;
    是一时,是永远?我早已迷茫。

    而记忆中那美丽的往事转瞬如昙花流逝,
    再回首,又是一种怎样的伤痛铭刻在我的心理。

    知音少,弦断谁人听;
    我寂寞,你可知否?
    凄绝独舞固然美丽,
    但是美丽中的哀愁谁来体会;

    外人看见的是浪漫,
    舞者的内心却在滴血。
    也许是我没有一双万能的手,
    拨动不起这天地之弦,
    演奏不出华美的乐章,
    打动不了你那久闭的心扉。
