One Day One Song !

習慣，會讓我們誤以為很多事情該是理所當然。就像搖滾是白人的玩具，節奏藍調是黑人的家常小菜一樣，我們始終很肯定這樣的規則貫徹下去。

但我喜歡Lenny Kravitz的出格，一副靈魂的唱腔，卻玩起白人的玩具。他被時尚界連續好幾年被評為最有品味的搖滾歌手，這讚揚的部分和葛萊美獎給予的肯定一樣，跨了一個黑白界線，黑人不該只有尺寸過大的衣褲，一身華麗合身的靚裝，操作一把柔軟中帶力道的嗓音，Lenny Kravitz很成功。

"It Ain't Over Til It's Over"我想他應該也是洋基的球迷，只不過我喜歡王建民，他應該很崇拜Yogi Berra。


Lenny Kravitz／It Ain't Over Til It's Over

Here we are, still together
We are one...
So much time, wasted,
Playing games with love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeahhh
If I'd always, always be in love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
to kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over)

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over, over)

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over...fade out)

明明是要把工作解決掉，腦帶裡卻一直打轉別的事，告別了MSN、告別了電視、告別了食物，在電腦前還是停不來，不斷想一些問題。嗯，周末不太適合工作，這是很真實的心聲，沒關係，明天一切都會FINE勒，幸好我的情緒總是可以快速地草草解決，是好事還是壞事？我也不知道。

鄭華娟/漂泊的心停泊在基隆港
林憶蓮/理由
曾淑勤/不再等帶天堂

好適合填塞一些沒有情緒的心情，和不想工作的下午，雖然這些歌有點老，但都很釋懷看待一些事情，好耶，我也要跟著釋懷起來囉！

1、2、3 我釋懷了，哈，一個人的幽默好冷清。

鄭華娟／漂泊的心停泊在基隆港

明天我將有遠行　卻收到你的信
你總能用寥寥數行　瀟灑道盡　悲喜和惆悵
曾好想好想和你一樣　遊遍天涯海角　五湖四洋
遠遠地逃出憂傷　把內心的苦都遺忘
一直忘了對你講　你柔弱卻勇敢的肩膀
曾是我心中英雄的形象　你與世無爭　隨興的遊蕩
是我即將要實現的理想　而信中　你卻這麼告訴我說
你給了初戀情人你的心　在他的家鄉結了親
就在離家不遠的地方
漂泊的心　停泊在基隆港
你不再把夢反覆的想　對快樂也不再隱藏
在旅途中　了悟的人生
變成故事　對愛你的人慢慢講

忙裡偷閒的無趣週末，和朋友兩人在Blue Frog餐廳裡面面相覷地吃著義大利麵，看著隔壁發亮的蘋果電腦直營店，人們手裡玩弄的新款霓NANO，Bling Bling地閃著我心好癢，草草結束晚餐，直奔那最美麗的設計但也是最誘惑的深淵。

我喜歡綠色款和橘色款，原先最喜歡的黃色，實品拿起來後覺得有點俗氣。轉了幾下，突然播起了Good Charlotte「Dance Floor Anthem」有首歌的MV，這個龐克團是受到The Killers的影響嗎？也玩起了搖滾舞曲，HIGH點在「Everybody」，我想聽過的人應該會很難忘。這首歌好適合和妖豔的The Killers「Somebody Told Me」順著聽。

雖然現在沒有80年代的約翰屈伏塔，我們還是要週末狂熱一下，Good Charlotte「Dance Floor Anthem」來PLAY下去。

Good Charlotte／Dance Floor Anthem




She’s going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there’s more
Then he gave she’s looking for

He calls her up
He’s trippin’ on the phone
Now he doesn’t want her out there and alone
Now he knows she’s smiling and
Knows she’s using it
Now he’s loosing it
She don’t care

Everybody
Put up your hands Say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Back it up now
You’ve got a reason to live say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

He was always givin’ her attention
Working hard to find the things she mentioned
He was dedicated
By most sucka’s hated
That girl was fine
But she didn’t appreciate him

She calls him up she’s trippin’ on the phone
Now had to get up and he ain’t comin home
Now she’s tryin’ to forget him and
The salary came with him
When he first met her
When they first got together

Everybody
Put up your hands Say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Back it up now
You’ve got a reason to live say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feel the beat
Feel the beat
Feel the beat

You got nothing to loose,
Don’t be afraid to get down

We break up it’s something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
It’s okay
Let it go
Get out there and find someone

It’s too much to be trippin’ on the phone here
Get off the wire
Now everything is good here
Stop what you’re doin’
You don’t wanna ruin
The chance that you got to
Find a new one

Everybody
Put up your hands Say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Back it up now
You’ve got a reason to live say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down say:
”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

No
No

Now you know what to do
So come on
Feelin’ good

周末又到了！剛好有同事在弄勁歌熱舞小專案，偷瞄一下他的清單，有了Donna Summer阿姨的「Hot Stuff」，怎麼沒有另外一位時尚阿姨的舞曲代表作呢？實在太不應該了，於是偷偷把「One Love Wonderful World」搬出來和全世界最不娘的假音團體Bee Gees「Night Fever」擺在一起，我的老天爺啊！真是VIP級的待遇啊！

周末狂熱，沒有約翰屈伏塔，我們還有平井堅，純正的熱血血統啊！

平井堅／One Love Wonderful World

是在1997年葛萊美的合輯裡認識妳的吧！？這麼久了，妳依舊還是妳，沒有多餘的轉變，淺淺吟唱著妳想說的故事，和所想表達人生中正反面的省思。去年的主打歌，好聽地令人印象深刻，特別是那段沒有歌詞的哼唱，蘊含著多麼深遠的情感啊！就像雷光夏那年感謝評審能感受到「原諒」裡一段無語哼唱的撫慰力量，現在我能理解你的留白，原來是那麼美好。

Forget The Chorus, You're The Bridge....

Tracy Chapman／Sing For You

One, two, .. one, two, three, four

Sweet and high at the break of dawn
Simple tune that you can hum along too
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do

Knew all the words to the popular songs
With the radio on full volume
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do

Forget the chorus, you’re the bridge
The words and music to everyday I’ve lived
There’s nothing, I wouldn’t give
For one more time, when I can sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do

Oh Yeah
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do

Soft and low when the evening comes
Holding you, sleeping in my arms
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do

I used to sing for you

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do

I used to sing for you

從「陰陽師」到最近的「我的寵物是小妖」，對於日本的奇幻電影或小說真是愛不釋手，他們滿足我很多奇幻的想法，甚至在我的工作創意裡，常有著妙不可言的幫助。在中國的聊齋裡鬼怪其實有他很可愛的地方，他們從不主動害人，而是因為因果關係的輪迴，才迫使鬼怪找上門。我覺得這放在現代的報應學或社會倫理裡，都血淋淋地映襯一些極為醜陋的行為。

「陰陽師」的背景是在一個人鬼共處的平安時代，擺脫我們對於鬼怪的害怕，其實說的是一個共生的概念，就像現在輪到地球排斥我們一樣，一切都是因果循環，所以我很喜歡這種因果邏輯，雖然可以不用這麼警世地嚴肅看待，但終究是要我們理解一種珍惜與和平相處的心態。

最早接觸到這類奇幻作品的電影，不是林小樓的桃太郎，反而是當時很年輕的真田廣之主演的「里見八犬傳」，「Satomi Hakken Den」聽起來實在是很西式情歌，我還是比較不懂，怎會是日本奇幻電影的主題曲，但很懷念且好聽。

John O'Banion／Satomi Hakken Den

You and I didn't see the evening fly
There was magic in the air
With times enough to spare
Now it's hours I have to say goodbye
Well you know I have to go
But still it hurts me so

*I don't want this night to end
Don't say goodbye
Just hold me close, my darling
I don't want this night to end
Pretend awhile and let's forget tomorrow (*)

Feeling blue I can see it in your eyes
But I've got a job to do
Got to see things through
But I will be near even when I am out of sight
Counting seconds till the day I'm coming home to stay (*)

Oh my darling, love me tonight
And chase the morning shadow with your heavenly light
I find my strenth inside your arms
So love me tonight and keep my heart beside you
When you go, oh.......

不怕雨天就怕星期一，耗掉你大半天時間和精力的工作週報總讓人沮喪，剩下一半的氣力，你得保留給下午永無止盡的例行會議，就這樣再持久的電池，還是會從「勁量」變「盡量」。所以星期一先生，怎麼說我還是無法喜歡上你，你總是讓人覺得「GET ME DOWN」！

電影非關男孩裡的小男孩馬克斯是個很憂鬱的綜合體，他的母親是個特立獨行的人，甚至經常情緒失控，這讓馬克斯先天就擁有比一般人更敏感和憂鬱的體質。當他在學校裡被排擠、當他不想上課的時候，總是對著窗外輕輕地哼唱The Carpenters的「Rainy Days and Mondays」，想想這場景和會議上報告後的我很相似。

1994年9月13日，一群人翻唱The Carpenters的經典曲目，便有了這張「If I Were a Carpenter」合輯。我很迷戀Cracker的嗓音，特別是他在「Rainy Days and Mondays」的滿分表現，很適合現在正在打瞌睡的我，迅速入眠。

你累了嗎？試試看它的效果。

Cracker／Rainy Days and Mondays

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

迷人菸酒腔的Joe Strummer是老牌龐克樂隊The Clash的主唱，在電影「史密斯任務」裡用最柔軟的聲線詮釋的那首很容易誤以為是老歌的新拉丁爵士曲目「Mondo Bongo」，漫不經心的隨性歌聲，掀起一陣煽情的風，在電影裡兩位主角初次見面時，煽燃起愛的小火苗。

這故事要我們相信，再厲害的催情劑，都抵不過在合適時機出現的那一首浪漫情歌。

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros／Mondo Bongo

I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

For the Zapatistas I'll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace

Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home

Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

工作關係經常在內地各城市出沒，出租車師傅變成你最佳導遊，他們都像一本書，如果他聽出你的口音，馬上就會變成一本旅遊導覽，說一嘴風景；有時翻到的是一頁笑話，逗得你哈哈大笑；有時變成了一本體育雜誌，大大數落內地足球隊一番；有時候更像一本音樂小說，師傅哼著廣播裡的歌，說著記憶裡他和歌曲的歲月。

有些出租車師傅，會不停翻書，你無法歸類到你的書櫃裡，那就是壞脾氣翻臉如翻書，這種車坐得很累。今天晚上師傅是一本笑話集，而且是精選集的那款。他大吹特吹他的性能力是靠不吃辣來保持，他笑說四川男人怕老婆，就是因為辣吃太多，把性能力都吃壞了，所以影響到男人的氣魄。

這結論有點瞎，但很幽默。如果生活也是一本書，現在正讀什麼類別的書？

陳奕迅／愛是一本書

愛的樣子像什麼　幾億萬人都不懂
妳今天在做什麼　妳是怎麼回憶我
故事書寫的很美　談愛情的人類
總是要掉眼淚

可是愛比邏輯厲害
我們都要自由也要彼此的未來
這好奇怪　結局的狀態被時間吹歪
很久很久之後會把來龍和去脈　寫下來

我們會來讀　愛　這本書
怎樣才會幸福　愛　誰清楚
兩顆心在紀錄　從熱到冷多辛苦　Baby...

我們會來讀　愛　這本書
哪個人先結束　愛　好殘酷
到分開那一天　我才真正的領悟
莫非你也孤獨

愛加恨等於什麼　你用多久忘了我
讀後心得給了誰　反正是在幾年內
總是會有點醉

嘴唇上少了白色細末的糖粉，話語脫口總是少了討人喜艾的甜味。這不是對態度堅持的恭維，而是懺悔。

好友說那一份在乎，不該用生氣當作起點，因為對方解讀不了背後被隱藏的擔心和關心。所以，男人的個性不適用於情場，它只適合在商場，過招高手的能力遠遠勝過於你的情人，他們備有更高的解讀能力。

誠實遠遠勝過一場逢場作戲的關心，直接遠遠勝出一連串精心設計預謀的心機，可是怎麼說起來，它們還是沒裹上一層糖衣，赤裸裸地一點都不討喜，它是市場銷售架最底部等待替換的食品/實品。

黑白琴鍵始終衷於自己的關係分明，沒有絲毫的模糊與曖昧，Billy Joel用這最誠實的樂器說一個最實在的故事。而他也忠於自己創作音樂的媒介選擇，所以人們給予他最大的讚美是將它和鋼琴相提並論，所以才有一個綑綁的美譽叫作Piano Man。


Billy Joel／Honesty

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
