God Help the Girl - Come Monday Night



第一次聽到感覺怎麼那麼有Belle & Sebastian的味道

結果後來查到竟是貝兒與賽巴斯汀的Stuart Murdoch製作的音樂劇同名原聲帶

女主唱叫Catherine Ireton

Come monday night the day of work is done

Tuesday morning lose the grey of ordinariness

Start by putting off your chores

And all the crushing bores

Say your morning prayers

Sing a rousing song

Then sing it on the long walk home



Come monday night we're in a state of praise

Twenty-million boys are caught up in a paper chase

If the weekend promised much

Then it failed to touch

On a single count what i was hoping for

What i was hoping for



Come monday night we turn the telly off

To listen to the silence

Light that comes in from outside

If you could catch it all

And pin it to your wall

Then you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Maybe you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Maybe you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Maybe you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Maybe you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Maybe you would sleep much better

Baby you would sleep much better

Lucky Soul - Lips Are Unhappy

Shake, shake, shimmy.

You know that you soothe the aches and the troubles within me.

Pretending that everything's cool,

When I'm twenty seven shades of blue,

And my lips are unhappy without you.

My lips are unhappy without you.



Honey suckle, you're missing.

But I make the morning dew glisten,

By just hoping and wishing.

Pretending that I've got a clue.

When I'm twenty seven shades of blue,

And my lips are unhappy without you.

My lips are unhappy without you.



Shake, shake, shimmy, shimmy, etc etc etc




Lucky Soul - It's Yours


Its Yours - Lucky Soul




如泡泡糖般五彩繽紛,如冰淇淋般冰涼甜蜜,Lucky Soul的音樂讓人體驗到純粹的美好,單純的浪漫、單純的快樂與單純的憂傷,就像女主唱Ali的聲音般晶瑩剔透。



成軍於2005年的Lucky Soul來自於英國倫敦東南方,共有六位成員,女主唱Ali Howard有著亮金色的娃娃頭髮型、深隧的黑眼線與長長的假睫毛,嫵媚、甜美又悅耳的嗓音,你可以說她是The Cardigans再現,也可以說她是復古版的Sixpence None The Richer。



2006年發行首支單曲《My Brittle Heart》,被英國的衛報(The Guardian)評選為當週最佳單曲,有著「令人難以忘懷、如同象群過境般無法招架的絕妙旋律」。同一年六月他們發行第二支單曲《Lips Are Unhappy》。接著於2007年初發行的《Ain't Never Been Cool》被BBC Radio 1的DJ Colin Murray選為2007年的前二十大單曲。同時Lucky Soul也展開一連串的巡迴演出,足跡遍及歐洲、日本、美國、俄羅斯,並曾經是Bryan Ferry世界巡迴的暖場樂團。



2007年四月眾所矚目的首張大碟「The Great Unwanted多餘的美好」發行,獲得媒體一面倒的好評,英國最具代表性的獨立報週日樂評(Independent on Sunday)與最受歡迎的地鐵報紙Metro均給予五顆星的最高評價;衛報、泰晤士報(The Times)以及權威音樂雜誌Uncut也都給予四顆星的高分。



Lucky Soul所受到的音樂影響非常多元,有Motown, Dusty Springfield, The Smith, New Order, Kinks, Blondie, Minnie Ripperton等。專輯的開場曲《Add Your Light To Mine, Baby》一出現就彷彿陽光照在草原上般地閃亮輕盈,《One Kiss Don't Make A Summer》有著單戀女孩的不知所措,《Lips are Unhappy》的輕快俏皮讓人跟著一起跳躍旋轉,《My Darling, Anything》是戀愛中的幸福洋溢,《Get Outta Town! 》是精彩絕倫的60年代復古搖擺,《The Great Unwanted》以弦樂與合聲營造如夢一場的逝去戀情,《My Brittle Heart》唱出心碎女孩的淡淡憂傷,《It's Yours》是抒情動人的慢版情歌,最後一首長達十分鐘的《The Last Song》將女主唱Ali的甜美與性感發揮到極致。

I've been standing out here in the

cold so long that I'm

just 'bout freezing now

I'm just about freezing now

The one sucker punch it went and

caught me wrong and I'm

just 'bout breathing now,

I'm only just breathing now



It all comes back to me, I know

it all comes back to me

but it's yours,

anything that you ain't

never got given before

Take it all if you're with me

I've no need for anything more

and I would be on fire

It's me that makes you shy

Just try it one more time

Let me glimmer in your eyes



I've been trying not to tread on

anybody's toes but I'm

just so clumsy now

I can't stop falling down

I've got a little secret no one's s'posed to know

but I can't help blurting out

you're all I've got to think about



It all comes back to me

I know it all comes back to me

but it's yours

anything that you ain't

never got given before

Take it all if you're with me

I've no need for anything more

and I would be on fire

It's me that makes you shy

Just try it one more time

Let me glimmer in your eyes



but it's yours

it's yours

it's yours

6/24

室友學長禮拜五就要退伍了,開始放暑假去了,好羨慕

今天大夥同一次四個人全員到齊搭捷運去東區明曜百貨12樓的饗食天堂

一般日一客726加一成,我們三個一起請學長

學長不好意思的接受了,他說他九月份會再回來找我們,請我們一頓好的回來

三個月前在劍潭受訓的時候曾經來過一次

那時後雖然重感冒,但是精神很好,很開心

在劍潭渡假第一個禮拜,抽籤分單位有了著落,另外有約會等著屨行

又看到令人安心的老同學

那時後的心情真的就是像Carpenters的歌名一樣,感覺“top of the world“

該屨行的屨行了,該做的做了,既不擔心過去,也不害怕未來,對未來充滿信心

上一次這樣心無罣礙,快樂情緒的巔峰是國三推甄上高中後,從四月放到九月的悠長暑假

每天照常上學,去校長室光明正大的看漫畫,小說,書,四點到了就去打籃球,流了滿身汗後

放學時間到了回家繼續打整天的電動 ,夜晚伴著梅雨季整夜的雨,聲邊聽廣播,邊看漫畫,累了就好好的睡一個覺

人生看似沒有什麼事情好擔心了。





上一次來吃飯地時候重感冒

沒吃到Haagen Dazs和Movenpick冰淇淋的遺憾這次全部都補回來。

我還是最喜歡Haagen Dazs的萊姆葡萄口味

上次去二舅媽家,舅媽拿給我吃

我客氣的說,我吃一口就好,結果卻欲罷不能一直吃下去QQ



上禮拜六

去輔大參加表妹新聞系的畢業典禮

我發現我住的宿舍真的離輔大很近,如果不是因為塞車的話,十分鐘內就可以到了



在這之前順便先去輔大對面同學待的診所參觀敘舊一下

禮拜六早上剛好紹紘和軒頎都有診

十一點多進去診所大廳,媽呀~挑高的兩層樓的好氣派阿,跟櫃台小姐表明來意說我來找同學

櫃台說洪醫師已經吩咐過了,就讓我直接上樓

上樓後看到軒頎正在看診,不過不太敢貿然打招呼,認錯人的糗事實在在我身上發生太多次了

後來就看到畢業後就沒碰面的紹紘穿著一身帥氣的藍色手術衣,正好沒病人了

於是帶我上去他們的醫師休息室

醫師休息室旁邊是他們診所副院長留宿的房間

探頭望進去,鋪木的地板上有一張簡單的白色床墊,旁邊有長長伸展的書桌,書桌上擺著一台桌機,桌上右楦一本牙周病課本平躺著,門衝是一整組爵士鼓擺在大張厚實的圓形地毯上,門口床墊前擺了好幾瓶紅酒,真的是一個簡單又帥氣的房間阿



跟他們聊了一下天,他們診所下午沒診,紹紘請我吃了一頓午餐

他說下午要開車去找美萍,真的過的很愜意

美萍的診所在中和環球那邊,我發現我的宿舍不巧就夾在他們兩邊的中點

去兩邊都不會很遠。



表妹輔大新聞系的畢典很活潑,亦莊亦諧,勁歌熱舞

一開頭出場的方式很帥氣,舞台上用氣球佈成了伸展台

每個人逐一唱名,可以像model走秀般帥氣地走自己的台步,也可以自己搞花招任何方式讓大家認識你。

聽了VCR每個老師受訪影片的諄諄教誨,懇切受用,彷彿自己也跟著畢業一次

最後響起的是張惠妹-最後的畫面 這首歌

輔大新聞系應屆畢業生大家慢慢的一排一排湊到了舞台前,輕輕的左右搖擺

扯喉齊聲唱—



就要離別 勇敢的流淚 而你的眼神超越了語言

不說再見 我們卻了解 分開了不代表會改變



誰需要誰 白雲和藍天 依偎才有美好的畫面

大風一吹 離得並不遠 下次見面以前都記得那感覺



芳草碧連天 固執的季節 寒冬一過還有春天希望永不凋謝

芳草碧連天 永遠的畫面 當我想念閉上雙眼你在(我)心裡面



離別以前 已開始想念 讓期待緊緊連結這一切

走慢一點 不管有多遠 放不下就代表不會變



(Repeat)

芳草碧連天 寒冬一過還有春天希望永不凋謝

芳草碧連天 永遠的畫面 當我想念閉上雙眼你在心裡面

當我想念閉上雙眼你在心裡面



很適合畢業,動人的一首歌

有女生唱到第二次副歌的時候已經忍不住在台上大哭

周遭的人代表支持也代表安慰地輕拍他的背,自己也忍不住哭

目光掃過了一遍,我看即使沒有哭,眼眶也泛紅噙著淚

這個畫面很感人

連我這個漠不相關只是來參觀輔大,只是來看傳說中輔大正妹的路人也深深被感動了

畢業放這首歌,根本就是放大絕阿~

2009年6月19日 星期五

媽呀~it's Mew

因為最近突然感到案頭邊堆的書牆好像變矮了很多

於是又興起再去買書來堆高點回來的念頭

就像化學反應式一像,反應物的濃度或數目夠多,反應才會由高濃度至低濃度起化學反應產生產物

對我來說我的反應物是一堆大概七八本以上堆疊起來高度讓人感到有壓迫感的書,產物是腦袋的產生一些新想法,和束之高閣閱畢的書本們



加上讀輔大的表妹要畢業了,室友學長要退伍了

想找些禮物

於是就去信義誠品旗艦店逛了一晚

我覺的信義誠品書局的部份逛起來好累阿~書太多,人太多了

一大片牆的日本文學,一大片牆的歐美文學

一大片一大片毫無目標地逐一檢視過一遍,頭都暈了

雖然書很多很好,但是應該適用於有目標而來找書的讀者們~

不然滿山遍野的書,書櫃細細麻麻的分類條目,還真的不知從何逛起



以上

這些都不是重點



(喂~你到底是男生還是女生?)

(原本以為外面膠模撕了就可以打開了,想不到專輯上方開闔處還有封品名條碼封條,挖~真的是美國版的,只有外國唱片有這種品目封條)





(Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers)







重點是今天一進信義誠品音樂館

就在櫃台上瞄見了一個熟悉的身影—全副裝備,皺眉面無表情,一眼無法看穿性別的鬥牛士凝神佇立

“我的天那~台灣終於進了Frengers了,我找好久“興奮難耐的我直接對著素未謀面正在幫別人結賬的男櫃臺說

男櫃台說:“對阿,這是是美國版的,可能是因為八月要來台開演唱會的周邊效應所以等一年多台灣又進了,我已經買好演唱會門票囉“

“門票兩千嬤~我知道,但我沒有買,聽他們的歌已經很開心了,買到朝思暮想的唱片更開心“



我自知死忠度了解度比不過其他迷哥迷姊,也不喜歡湊熱鬧人擠人,默默聽得開心,默默地支持就好

儘管現居台北,親臨演唱會場容易很多

完全跟當初聽聞Stars今年二月要來台灣開眼唱會的消息時一樣的反應一樣的想法

也也許是因為我還不是個資深歌迷,接觸認識也不過一年爾爾...





“越讀者“一書作者說一本值得一看在看的書要買三本

一本邊看邊作筆記在上面,一本用來借人看,一本留白下次閱讀的時候才免受先前經驗影響能有一個新的開始新的體悟。



原本我也以為一張唱片值得一聽在聽的經典唱片需要三張

一張借(送)人,一張自己聽,一張留存收藏不拆封



但是後來冷靜下來發現好好保存,好像兩張就夠了(一張拆,一張拆一張不拆很簡單)

一次買三張太大爺了,也很累贅

只有上次剛看到新上架的seabear喜出望外失心瘋似的一次帶三張

後來逛唱片行看到存貨量滿滿一點都不擔心缺貨的同張專輯

見一次,心扎一下

“這麼好吃的叉燒飯,以後吃不到怎麼辦阿?“



總是堅持喜歡吃到美食的人



因為太喜歡美食,避免發生再也吃不到的失落心情再次發生,而不再堅持美食的人



對美食的喜好

孰優孰劣?

誰輸誰贏?





今天白天在搭電梯地時候突然想到這個問題

我還沒想出個定論

但是從小到大

我一直都是那個擔心再也吃不到好吃的叉燒飯,而因此不再吃叉燒飯的人

Lady GaGa - Paparazzi







We are the crowd

We're cuh-coming out

Got my flash on it's true

Need that picture of you

It's so magical

We'd be so fantastic, oh



Leather and jeans

Garage glamorous

Not sure what it means

But this photo of us

It don't have a price

Ready for those flashing lights

'Cause you know that baby I-



I'm your biggest fan

I'll follow you until you love me

Papa-Paparazzi

Baby there's no other superstar

You know that I'll be your-

Papa-Paparazzi



Promise I'll be kind

But I won't stop until that boy is mine

Baby you'll be famous

Chase you down until you love me

Papa-Paparazzi



I'll be your girl backstage at your show

Velvet ropes and guitars

Yeah cause you know I'm starting between the sets

Eyeliner and cigarettes



Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and return

My lashes are dry - purple teardrops I cry

It don't have a price

Loving you is Cherry Pie

'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan

I'll follow you until you love me

Papa-Paparazzi

Baby there's no other superstar

You know that I'll be your

Papa-Paparazzi



Promise I'll be kind

But I won't stop until that boy is mine

Baby you'll be famous

Chase you down until you love me

Papa-paparazzi



Real good, We're dancing in the studio

Stop-stopped, That shit on the radio

Don't stop, for anyone

We'll Blast it but we'll still have fun



I'm your biggest fan

I'll follow you until you love me

Papa-Paparazzi

Baby there's no other superstar

You know that I'll be your

Papa-Paparazzi



Promise I'll be kind

But I won't stop until that boy is mine

Baby you'll be famous

Chase you down until you love me

Kyte - Sunlight





有一次下班搭公車從三重回板橋

沿途經過金陵女中,上來了一個很像新桓結衣那般高挑好看學生妹

看著看著結衣

聽著聽著Kyte

就這樣安心地沈沈睡去了~



驀地驚醒後

結衣已經不知去向

看看了車窗外的景色,我也不知道公車去向

看到捷運站就趕快慌張的跳下車,否則公車就要往淡水殺去啦

結果我早該十分鐘前就返抵宿舍



睡過站的後果就是我又從府中站坐捷運過兩站大概花了22塊又7分鐘回到新埔站

再步行走了20分鐘

才回到宿舍

該怪結衣太正

還是Kyte太好聽?



So this is war, we fall to the ground

Nothing to say, once was so sure

Speak from inside before we go

Leaving so soon with thunder in tow



So this is war, we fall to the ground

Nothing to say, once was so sure

Speak from inside before we go

Leaving so soon with thunder in tow



In spite of flaws you'll never see close

Drink from the water, imaginary host

And they watch as you smile and they wait

Inside of a mirror, their smiles and this hate



So this is war, we fall to the ground

Nothing to say, once was so sure

Speak from inside before we go

Leaving so soon with thunder in tow



In spite of flaws you'll never see close

Drink from the water, imaginary host

And they watch as you smile and they wait

Inside of a mirror, their smiles and this hate

P!nk - Please Don't Leave Me







Da da da da, da da da da

Da da da da-da da



I don't know if I can yell any louder

How many time I've kicked you outta here?

Or said something insulting?

Da da da da-da

I can be so mean when I wanna be

I am capable of really anything

I can cut you into pieces

But my heart is... broken



Da da da-da da

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

I always say how I don't need you

But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please, don't leave me



How did I become so obnoxious?

What is it with you that makes me act like this?

I've never been this nasty

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?

The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest

But baby I don't mean it

I mean it, I promise



Da da da-da da

Please don't leave me

Da da da-da da

Please don't leave me

Da da da-da da

I always say how I don't need you

But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please, don't leave me



I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me

I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag

And I need you, I'm sorry.



Da da da da, da da da da

Da da da da-da da

Please, please don't leave me



Baby please don't leave me

No, don't leave me

Please don't leave me no no no

You say I don't need you but it's always gonna come right back,

It's gonna come right back to this.

Please, don't leave me.

No.

No, don't leave me

Please don't leave me, oh no no no.

I always say how I don't need you

But it's always gonna come right back to this



Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

省了快一千塊吧

三年級的學妹問我四年級上學期的固定補綴學實驗器材該買些什麼?

我說:其實我現在沒什麼概念,都忘光了,鑽針買最常用,最好用的那幾隻就好了

學妹:那全買好了 (嗚~學長的話不中聽阿)

學妹:全買三千多塊算很貴嬤?

我說:還好啦~念在我傳給你那些器械,就讓你足足省一筆了(自豪貌)

學妹:對阿,大概省了快一千塊...

我說:原來我那些破童爛鐵只值一千塊QQ,我好傷心,他們枝枝可都是在日本出生的耶,made in Japan的耶(光是牙周刮勺四隻我還記得我當初買三千多元)

學妹:學長不要生氣啦。不過真是謝謝你啦,我會把你的名字一直留在上面的。

我說:以告慰學長在天之靈這樣嬤?

學妹:哈哈,當然不是啦







以上節錄自我跟我神經有點大條的直屬學妹的對話

原來省了快一千塊阿

是這樣阿。QQ
