OneRepublic - Good Life



onerepublic今年的新專輯
整超聽起來都很順耳
跟上一張比風格差很多,曲風比較陽光,音樂的元素也更多了
我個人超愛good life這首歌,聽了心情很好 
瘋、狂、R、E、P、E、A、T
 

artist: OneRepublic
album: Wake Up (2009)
song: Good Life
 


Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

除一下草

好久好久沒發文
昨天在高醫打了四場全場的兄弟盃 ,全身酸痛
今天七八點就睡醒了,但是全身無法動彈
到了十點才勉強掙脫下床 

這次的球賽很威,最近臨時惡補的慢跑特訓果然沒有白費,好欣慰...
這次兄弟盃的創舉除了學弟妹的感謝狀以外,還有開始有學長帶小孩來打球了... 
以後小朋友滿堂跑,該不會要設立臨時托育中心或是考慮小兄弟也辦一盃,來個幼幼組
 
放了九天的假在家
悠閒無所事適
我想要再去造訪以前常去的地方 
星巴十全店、大地游泳池、大統新世紀誠品、中正籃球場
 
莫名地入選役政署下半年度優良替代役一百名其中一員QQ
據說有獎金三千和榮譽假三天
禮拜三要去台中接受表揚受奬,順便要在台中好好地玩一玩


昨晚和砲哥閒踱去附近的五十嵐
還買了罪惡的鹹酥雞
是以前和春樓下的大哥在賣的
現在搬到五十嵐隔壁了
很久很久沒有吃宵夜和翹著腳在家裡看電影台
偶一為之
其實還蠻happy的  
 
 
 
 

  
 
 
我覺的人掛掉後,會一直徘徊在某些地點不去是有道理的
因為我覺得自己某些時後感覺也像遊魂一般
在熟悉的記憶和場域間、lingering、流連忘返
物換星移、事過境遷、思緒更迭
我還是像潮水不厭其煩地刷洗、造訪這一片沙灘
寫下、拭淨
記下、忘卻

低潮、長潮、高潮、退潮
這一片不是回家的路,靜靜如北極星
總是指引我回家的路
 
 
 

回歸平靜自適的內心 —
我最安穩的居所。

 
 
 
 我和剛滿月的小蘋果,她叫詹喬羽,還不錯夢幻的名字

Hello Saferide - Parenting Never Ends


Parenting Never Ends - Hello Saferide



 song: Parenting Never Ends 
album :More Modern Short Stories From Hello Saferide (2009)
artist: Hello Saferide
  
 


Mother, give me
back my old room
I won’t make a mess like I used to,
I won’t play my records

loud at nights,
I’ll keep it quiet
Mother, let me have my old bed back
and lay out clothes for me.

People give me work and money
They depend on me now,
if they only knew how thin the ice they walk on is.
If they only knew how thin the ice they walk on
is

Mother, please make
my decisions
like you once did,
this time I won’t pester you about it,
I’ll surrender

Mother, these streets
are too cold for me
I’m standing by your door
A plant under each arm,
let me move back in

Father, the last time you offered to teach me
all about the Baltic Sea, it was wasted on me.
Now I’m ready, throw me once again
the footballs you tried to throw and this time
I will catch and learn and know

Mother, if that’s not enough
bring me all the way back to
my original address
to your womb.

I have trouble sleeping but I don’t recall I had while in your womb.

Arco - Happy New Year


Happy New Year - Arco

這是來自英國倫敦的民謠團體Arco
我喜歡這種安靜且帶著淡淡或濃濃哀傷的歌曲
讓我不要心浮氣躁,歸於喧囂,得意又忘形


因為得意忘形不自覺又違規闖了紅燈,一次代價1800
而且還是10天內,被開了兩張(吐血~)
我覺的我現在被trainning的很好,行車一定停在停止線前,紅燈不敢右轉,更不敢左轉
被埋伏的警察飛車攔下的感覺很差

眾人殷殷期盼,集千萬寵愛的小蘋果上禮拜誕生了 
天蝎座,是一個長像清秀的正妹
好多好多漂亮可愛的衣服等著他穿呢 
  


禮拜五深夜和台北的球友人魚、宜謙、小美還有他女朋友
去傳說中的出一張嘴市民店吃燒烤喝啤酒
食材很棒驚為天人  

心情很好氣氛很棒,好不容易有個完整的週末
更嗨的是他們隔天要去宜蘭烏石港衝浪
但我只想回家睡到自然醒,做我想做的事情,悠哉的渡過週末

忙碌如戰爭的台北縣農漁民健檢終於來到尾聲了
只剩下下禮拜兩場五股農會各300人
人數弄的好像真.三國無雙
好似隨便無雙亂舞一下就可以300壯士輕鬆擊破,敵將討取

過程其實是很累的,只是做久了痛苦就習慣了
安享我的剩餘100天的役期了
三個月來發生許多事,很熱血,很累
戰爭從夏天到秋天 

我的雙手都因為搬運東西而長繭了,幾個替代意退伍後應該可以一起開一家搬家公司
 
當初剛來醫院只有四名替代役
現在退伍兩個後,又陸續來了六個
所以現在幅員總共八位
替代役一直去,也一直來
   
 

“替代役不死,只是逐漸退伍。“ 
 

artist: Arco
album: Restraint (2004)
song: Happy New Year


january sky like a slate wiped clean 
and stillness of air where nothing has been 
wait for your word as if to say 
another last chance lives from today 

happy new year - the world just keeps turning 
day into night, night into day 
holding on tight, millions all hoping 
something like love will light up the way 

dying for change, but the feeling won't last 
summer will come and be over too fast 
grow into sun, fade into rain 
a miniature life to live over again 

happy new year - the world just keeps going 
tumbling round, screaming through space 
holding on tight, millions all hoping 
something like love will light up their face 

happy new year to everyone hurting 
praying this time it all becomes clear 
here when the light is pale and uncertain 
happy new year 
happy new year

Rachael Yamagata - Duet




 

artist: Rachael Yamagata
album: Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart (2008) 
song: Duet


(feat. Ray LaMontagne)
Oh Lover, hold on 
'till I come back again 
For these arms are growin' tired, 
And my tales are wearing thin 

If you're patient I will surprise, 
When you wake up i'll have come 

All the angerwill settle down 
And we'll go do all the things we should have done 

Yes I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
I'll be here if you will only come back home 

Oh lover, i'm lost 
Because the road i've chosen beckens me away 

Oh lover, don't you rome 
Now i'm fighting words I never thought i'd say 

But I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
I'll forgive you oh 
If you just come back home 

Hmmm mmmm 
Hmmmm mmmm 

Oh lover, I'm old 
You'll be out there and be thinking just of me 

And I will find you down the road 
And will return back home to where we're meant to be 

'cause I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
We'll be back soon as we make history.

Rachael Yamagata - Elephants


Elephants - Rachael Yamagata


 
 
artist: Rachael Yamagata
album: Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart (2008) 
song: Elephants  


If the elephants have past lives 
yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream 
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card 
when I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember 
when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call 
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals 
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger 
but keep one eye open at night

Mojave 3 - Hard To Miss You


Hard To Miss You - Mojave 3


這是一張令人驚喜連連的專輯,未免太好聽了吧 
 
artist: Mojave 3
album: Spoon and Rafter (2003)
song: Hard to Miss You 
 
- 

Wish that I could make you laugh and make you feel whole again, 
I can not lay here on this line. 
Wish that I could see you now, standing there without a care, 
I guess you'd make me smile. 
I'ts hard to miss ya, it's hard to miss ya... 

They say the world's a smaller place but they dont' say it to your face, 
it's a pretty stupid thing to say. 
I don't feel it in my space, I don 't feel ya in my space, 
I just want to see ya in my space 
It's hard to miss ya, it's hard to miss ya...
