Hello Saferide - Leaving you behind



Hello Saferide的myspace 可以聽到他其它的歌

Hello Saferide的官網



Hello Saferide瑞典的artist

整個人和創作都很有趣





Leaving You Behind



How I wish you’d lied, or had been untrue

That you hadn’t said: “It’s always you.”

How I wish you hadn’t held me all those lonely, lonely nights!

Makes me wonder, makes me wonder why I’m leaving you behind



And I know I’m going to see you down town

with a pretty girl, and you’ll be holding hands

You’ll both be laughing, and she will be wondering the same as me:

was I crazy?

You know I’ve got to be crazy for leaving you behind



I’m such a worthless being

Ruining all we’ve got for

some kind of feeling that there’s more than this

How I wish there was more than there is

Hello Saferide - My Best Friend





很俏皮的一首歌

"沒有該死的絕地武士和哈比人"這句歌詞很好笑XD



My best friend



You call me up in the mornings

We’ll stay on the phone until dawning

You tell me secrets I actually keep

You call me up around noon and

Bring me all the good gossip

You hold my head when I throw up

I hold your hand when you weep



And we talk about friends and we talk about records, talk about life and

we’ll talk about death, and we dance in the living room, dance on the

sidewalks, dance in the movies, dance at the festivals, dance, dance

No men ever really dance like this



Damn! I wish I was a lesbian

Damn! I wish I was a lesbian

Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too

So I could fall in love with you



You call me up in the evenings

And tell me what they did this time

No matter what, I’m by your side

When it’s raining, we’ll go to the video store

We even like the same movies

No damn jedis or hobbits this time



And you laugh at my jokes and I laugh at your jokes and I even like the

birthday presents you get me,

and we dance in the living room, dance on the sidewalks, dance in the

movies, dance at the festivals, let’s dance, dance.

No men ever really dance like this



Why don’t, why don’t I fall

Why don’t I just fall in love with you

Hello Saferide - Long lost penpal





原名Annika Norlin的Hello Saferide,邁入07年的最新動向是Sakert!這支以瑞典傳統語言與歌謠為創作藍本的音樂project。素有鄰家女孩形象,acoustic pop風味的恬淡民謠,Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他,以小女孩的自吟帶來了委實動人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」專輯。

關于這張專輯評價中有這么一句:“這是一張關于相思成災,寂寞無眠和美好回憶的專輯,洋溢其中的淳淳愛意令人迷醉。”

一首《Long Lost Penpal》是講述的是兩個筆友之間的平凡動人的故事,這種不張不揚的曲風淡淡慵懶,淡淡從容,淡淡幽雅,淡淡憂傷,淡淡美麗,淡淡寂寞,似不經意地低吟淺唱,卻吐氣如蘭.微笑并且流淚的花朵在青春的季節里永不會凋謝……

<以上介紹轉自網路>



很有趣的一首歌,隔空往返對答的情境,還有爆點

卻十分寫實

交筆友現在經不流行了

失去聯絡十年了

細數從前互相傾訴種種,對照如今嫁做人婦

筆友闊別十年重拾聯絡

輕快的小品卻夾雜濃濃的傷感



Hello Saferide我開始迷上你了



Hello

Do you remember me

I am your long lost pen pal

It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don’t really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you’re still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not



Hello

Yes I remember you

I’ve got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant and make fairly good money

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

when my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on



I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend



There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend

Then I checked the mailbox



Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children

and a wife, she doesn’t care

And I hope you don’t resent me

And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young



I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

Stars - My favorite book





這就是Stars的魅力

女主唱的vocal已經夠迷人

再加上男主唱

男女合唱已經犯規了



was always late

you never afraid that we could be falling

all our friends would say

that maybe we should wait

but they can't see what's coming



and to this day when everything breaks

you are the anchor that holds me



and that is why we'll always make it

how i know your face

all the ways you move

you come in

i can read you, you're my favorite book

all the things you say

the way you shift your eyes

i never knew there was someone to make me come alive



when the days are long and the thunder with the storm can always get me crying

well you can make my bed, i'll fall into it

shattered but not lonely

cause i never knew a home

until i found your hands and when i'm weathered you come to me you're my best friend



and that is why we'll always make it

how i know your face

all the ways you move

you come in

i can read you, you're my favorite book

all the things you say

the way you shift your eyes

i never knew there was someone to make me come alive



and when we're making love

i'd give everything up for your touch



how i know your face

all the ways you move

you come in

i can read you, you're my favorite book

all the things you say

the way you shift your eyes

i never knew there was someone to make me come alive

and when you go to work

all the day i wait for you to come home

and we can have time in our little place

our little place

Stars - Take Me To The Riot





這首歌相當於一顆搖頭丸的劑量



Grey skies and light fading

Headlamps making patterns on the wall

Uptown it's dead now but

Out here no one seems to care at all



Slick girls and sick boys and

Each one lining up to take him home

They hold tight, their coin and

They pray no one has to see them fall



I'm there yeah, I serve them

The one with the empty looking eyes

Come closer, you'll see me

The face that is used to telling lies



Saturday nights in neon lights

Sunday in the cell

Pills enough to make me feel ill

Cash enough to make me well



Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me



You sprung me, I'm grateful

I love when you tell me not to speak

I owe you, but I know you

You'll have me back but it's gonna take a week



What now kid? Which way love?

Will we ever make up and be friends

Good news is, my shoes is

Lined with all my nickels and my tens



Let's do that, just feed me

I hate when I have to get to sleep

You despise me and I love you

It's not much but it's just enough to keep



Saturday nights in neon lights

Sunday in the cell

Pills enough to make me feel ill

Cash enough to make me well



Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot



And let me stay

And let me stay

Let me stay, let me

Let me stay

Maia Hirasawa - Still June





still June

100%的絕對抒情

感覺眼淚已經懸在眼角



I looked up into the sky

I thought I catched your eye

you reminded me

there's nothing to see

but maybe you are wrong

baby, I could come along

that would be quite fair

when you're never here



and it should, it should be winter now

but my mind is still june

and you should, you should

have given me your wings by now

so I could catch your eye



And I am not alone

I'm here with someone

she never got the chance

and I hate myself for that

cause my heart stopped to

but some just for a while

should I be thankful? no

I hate you for that



It should, it should be winter now

But my mind's still june

and you should, you should

have given me your wings by now

so I could catch your eye



It should, It should be winter now

But my mind still june

and you should, you should

have given me wings by now

so I could catch your eye

so I could catch your eye

最近一直花大錢,有點對自己太好了一點

Nikon SB800、襯衫、皮鞋、Lowepro NOVA 4 AW一機四鏡攝影大側背包



以一個禮拜要聽三唱新專輯的速度

手機的2G記憶卡已經塞爆很久了

每次只能忍痛殺好聽的舊歌,再裝好聽的新歌

所謂舊歌也不過是上個月前常聽的,愛聽的新歌

我突然想要買I pod classic

我喜歡聽的歌太多了,手機的walkman不敷使用

這個理由很充分吧~

不過apple的產品都是奢侈品,因為太漂亮了

應該都只能擺在櫥窗展示,怎麼能夠忍心使用,讓他刮到呢



但是考慮之後要去當兵

平常會聽的時間也真的不多,聽多也傷耳的現實因素

有點猶豫不決



能夠把所有喜歡的歌裝進去I pod是多麼令人趕到欣慰與安全感的事情阿

classic 80G 目前還夠我裝



我真的是衝動購物型的,完全不精打細算,也完全不理性

很多瘋狂的舉動,連我自己也都會嚇一跳

念頭閃過三次,那我一定毫不猶豫就會去做了



完全離題了

今天還是來介紹歌的

這首歌是收錄在台灣默契音樂發行的"Stockholm touch"聽見斯德哥爾摩

裡面總共收錄了北歐瑞典11首好聽的indie pop

這首是第三首Highschool drama

從第二首開始一路嗨下去

睡覺做夢也會笑

這張唱片金石堂、誠品都可以很好買到

99元一張,俗又大碗

當初就是貪小便宜,又被專輯封失焦的瑞典紅衣小女生陽光般的燦爛笑容所吸引




是99元賣太便宜,打破市場行情,還是代理的權利金比較低

99元是一張好聽得令人驚奇的唱片,400,500元也是一張唱片

讓我不禁思考倒底音樂的價值在哪裡?

真的可以秤金論兩在算在賣嗎??

市儈地一張專輯一次收錄個20首歌然後可以賣比較多錢??



我想音樂得價值來自創作者的用心將他所感受到的熱情傳達給我們

而我們透過歌曲歌聲也深受感動

這一份熱情與感動是無價的

我實在也無法估出數目

熱情與感動都太多了



If I can afford it, I will be willing to buy it.

最近開始逛唱片行,收藏我覺得可以傳世的CD

10年,20年後還是可以隨手順手放來聽的那種

Adele - Make You Feel My Love





Bob Dylan原唱

很多人翻唱過

有人說amy winehouse的歌聲是苦澀的黑咖啡

我覺得最近英國這一系列爵士靈魂女聲甜度Duffy > Adele > winehouse

但是都很過癮

Adele的chasing pavements我覺得很適合用來搭配香水廣告



When the rain

Is blowing in your face

And the whole world

Is on your case

I could offer you

A warm embrace

To make you feel my love



When the evening shadows

And the stars appear

And there is no one there

To dry your tears

I could hold you

For a million years

To make you feel my love



I know you

Haven't made

Your mind up yet

But I would never

Do you wrong

I've known it

From the moment

That we met

No doubt in my mind

Where you belong



I'd go hungry

I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling

Down the avenue

No, there's nothing

That I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love



The storms are raging

On the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

Though winds of change

Are throwing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing

Like me yet



I could make you happy

Make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends

Of the Earth for you

To make you feel my love




另外一個我喜歡的版本Josh Kelley唱的

比較瀟灑,比較man,一樣感人

最近瘋狂迷上這首歌,歌詞太感人啦

Duffy - Scared







The blank pages of my diary,

That I haven't touched since you left me,

The closed blinds in my home

See no light of day.

Dust gathers on my stereo

Cos I can't bare to hear the radio

The piano sits in a shaded space

With a picture of your face.



I'm scared to face another day

Cos the fear in me just won't go away.

In an instant, you were gone and I'm scared.



Coffee stains on your favorite book

Remind me of you so I can't take a look.

The magazines you left on the floor,

You won't need them anymore.



A towel left hangin on the wall,

No sign of wet foosteps in the hall

There's no smell of your sweet cologne.

I'm lying here alone.



I'm scared to face another day

Cos the fear in me just won't go away.

In an instant, you were gone and now I'm scared.



I'm scared to face another day

Cos the fear in me just won't go away.

In an instant, you were gone, now I'm scared.

In an instant you were gone and I'm scared.

Indie pop喪心病狂

前天在玫瑰唱片無意間發現belle & sebastian的唱片

造成一場indie pop大災難

當場六張全數打包

另外順手帶走了三張小白兔唱片最近發行的

RF & Lili De La Mora - eleven continents

PELA - Anytown Graffiti

Stars - In our bedroom after the war

拆包裝膠膜拆得好辛苦

當然盡數都還沒有時間聽

這實在是很瘋狂的舉動

之前我最多最貪心的記錄,也不過同時買兩張而已



Stars - in our bedroom after the war的專輯封面色彩跟

梵谷夜晚的露天咖啡座配色很接近

從來沒有聽過,也沒聽說過

一股野性的直覺加上

背後樂迷背書的介紹文字起頭



"聽著Stars,我不斷想起電影【王牌冤家】裡,

凱特溫絲蕾與金凱瑞躺在結冰的湖上,

呼著霧氣、緊握著手,仰頭害羞的數著繁星,那戀愛初始的場景。

跟隨著Stars來到第四張大碟,聽見專輯同名曲

「In Our Bedroom after the War」

長達近7分鐘的史詩作品,弦樂綿密織造起最後的高潮,

在寒風的夜裡聽得我眼淚直飆,

彷彿【王牌冤家】裡的雪花結晶般下墜,凍在臉上,

戀愛雖然才剛初始,

卻可能即刻崩毀的小小哀傷…。"



毫不猶豫得"給我全部拿下!!!"



就這樣我發現了來自加拿大indie pop的傳說天團(有人這麼說)

有人說它們是加入了電子音樂的belle & sebastian

但是聽起來更元素豐富,也更溫暖



看到PTT indie pop版有網友這樣形容Stars的Set yourself on fire這張專輯

"走在路上戴起耳機聽它們的專輯裡的隨便一首歌,都讓自己感覺是某部電影裡的男女主角"

然後一堆人留言回覆他們對stars的迷戀,對這張專輯崇高的評價

我看完後趕緊再跑去玫瑰唱片

把haert和set yourself on fie一網打盡

好險有找到,尤其玫瑰唱片放了一連多達10張的set yourself on fire並列

可見真的賣得很好

其他專輯都只有放兩三張



只能說set yourself on fire 真的很經典





另外關於來自英國蘇格蘭的belle & sebastian

它們的專輯封面都是很隨性的用女生的照片

拍的都很有質感,每個畫面好似都是個故事

它們的音樂歌聲,像60年代的復古

good old time那樣美好

台灣代理它們的馬雅唱片是這樣形容他的

"世界會不會就此變的美好,就看你愛不愛belle & sebastian"

"世界真的沒啥好在抱怨,在聽過belle & sebastian之後"



雖然indie-pop的專輯側標說明都寫得有點唬爛

但是音樂是真的、感動是真的

戴上耳機聽聽看,一切盡在不言中



最近才發現WWR小白兔唱片 這個新興唱片代理商

從發現它們居然代理了冷門的seabear之後

我就知道它們真的代理的都是各國好聽的indie pop

有一個小白兔唱片行的工作人員知道我一次買三張

seabear - the ghost that carried us away後

還寄信給我表達感謝,說他心花怒放

回信我趁機想凹張VIP還是會員的

但是工作人員說會員集點才有

不過要帶裡更多好聽的indie pop 他說沒問題





書店裡的書都可以坐下來看的構想

將來我想要轉投資開一家代理外國indie pop的唱片行

然後每一張專輯,每一首歌都可以在店裡面每個角落或沙發試聽

你聽得高興

聽的喜歡再買

然後像星巴克開個什麼咖啡講座的活動

大家來討論聊聊關於indie pop的樂團

來聊聊各自的感動



聽起來很不錯

像電影High Fidelity(失戀排行榜)中

尼克‧宏比筆下的那樣的一家唱片行

侃侃而談每一首曲字的來由

和客人推薦





以下是我最近得意的戰利品清單



盧廣仲你會紅



前幾天看到的搞笑影片

台灣Vitas

很搶戲的表情







無敵鐵金剛

竟然可以唱得如此抒情

真的很有才華

你真的會紅。


在保存科的radio常常聽到
原來也是他唱的。

threw my head to the sky

頭往天際看上去

and said whoever is up there

到底是誰在那片天空之上呢

please don’t let me die

拜託… 別讓我輕易的死去

but I can’t live forever

但我還是不能永恆的存在

I can’t always be

永遠也不能



one day I’ll be sand on a beach by the sea

有天我變成一粒細沙依偎在大海邊緣的海灘上

the pages keep turning

書頁不停的翻動

I mark off each day with a cross

我用苦難為消逝的每一個日子作上記號

and I’ll laugh about all that we’ve lost

接著我將笑著面對我們所有失去的事物
