一起長大的日子！ ( MV 全紀錄 )




當時的我們都好年輕喔！


我在 1999 年第一次一個人在一個男孩的房間裡聽到 Travis–The Man Who 這張專輯，
那時期的自己好不容易擺脫了過去許多不愉快的陰影重新站了起來展開新人生，
可是這所有以為的堅強在那個房間、那個瞬間，通通被 Travis 的音樂給徹底瓦解，
止不住眼淚的畫面與自己忠實面對情緒的恐懼與無助，到現在依然深刻烙印心頭。
而在那之後，我彷彿真的重生了！許多事情正快速並劇烈的變化著。
這也是自己真正開始大量聽搖滾音樂的年代，[ Brit-Pop–1990s ]。
如果愛搖滾的人必定要選一個影響自己最深的樂團，那 Travis 一定是我的首選。

這次他們要來台灣演唱其實是我做夢都沒想過的事，
因為我一直以為縱然有機會能聽他們的演唱會也必定要飛到英國或日本。
這中間還夾雜著 Travis 久久不出唱片，耳聞他們或許要解散的流言……
從可能要來台灣的消息傳開之後，每天等待訊息確認都是一種小艱熬，
直到看見開始售票廣告，終於可以開心尖叫，然後毫不考慮的拉著朋友買了門票。
總之，能在自己國家的土地上聽到自己最愛的搖滾樂團的現場演出是再棒不過的經典紀念了。

我想以 Travis–The Man Who–Writing To Reach You（第二張專輯第一首單曲）
也是我聽 Travis 的第一首歌，及第一首會掉眼淚的歌 ( for travis )，
做為自己即將夢想成真聽 Travis 演唱會的心情註解。

Writing To Reach You ( written by Fran Healy )

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my head won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway

Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you

It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well

Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my head should go away
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway

Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do
You know it's you
I'm talking to
