arabesques' 習慣性哈欠

忘了第一次聽Cat Power是在什麼時候什麼場合下
只記得那首歌叫做「I found a reason」
後來【Ｖ怪客】有用來當插曲

之後在小可房裡看見【The Greatest】這張專輯封面
閃亮亮的大粉紅色，所以印象很深
借來灌進我的iPod裡，喜歡，卻不覺得有喜歡到非買CD收藏不可

第一次去多多家的晚上，在滿牆海報的昏暗小房間酌著小酒。
放出來的也是這張專輯，輕柔中帶點頹靡的女聲迴盪在整間房，
在那晚聽來特別有醉人的詩意。

已經隔很久了，今天突然很想很想聽。
像是一秒鐘也不能等似地，跑去誠品音樂找到買下。


很適合夜晚的一張專輯，非常喜歡。非常。

「The Greatest」

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honour
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
