午夜的天堂酒吧

一首如電影情節般的歌曲，怎能不讓人喜愛？

說到Richard Marx，大家第一個反應一定是Right Here Waiting
沒錯，我也是因為這首歌開始喜歡上Richard Marx
不過只限於他的芭樂抒情歌部份
中快版搖滾歌曲雖然也不錯聽，不過不是我的調調
但是我買的第一張他的專輯卻是他1991年的Rush Street
這張專輯已經是他的第三張專輯，卻也是他聲勢下滑的開始
會吸引我買這張專輯的原因很簡單
就是因為Hazard這首單曲（A/C榜#1，流行榜#9）

今天不知為何腦海中突然出現這首歌的旋律圍繞不去
索性到YouTube上找這首很久沒看的music video
當年第一次看到這支video時，我就被深深吸引
記得我以前提過，我對黑白畫面的video特別有興趣
加上這首歌的曲風和情節實在太有David Lynch的風格了
讓我電視機前面看的入神
所以後來馬上就去買了這張專輯
本來一開始我以為video的情節是獨立出來的
和歌曲本身並沒有太多的關係
可是當我拿到專輯打開歌詞來看時完全呆掉
因為歌詞本身根本就像是一則故事
video的情節只是照著歌詞的內容在走
而當我聽著這首歌看著歌詞的時候
原本video中的情節就一一浮現在我腦海中
我很驚訝一首流行歌的歌詞能夠寫成像一部短篇電影
而且video的導演也把歌詞情境詮釋的很棒

以下就送上這首我很喜歡的music video
對了，有人知道如何查music video導演嗎？
好想知道這個video的導演是誰


Richard Marx / Hazard

My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
That boys not right
Three years ago when I came to know mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside

We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

I think about my life gone by
And how its done me wrong
Theres no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town
