Birthday 2008

今年的生日當天寫了這篇(其實已經過一陣子啦),但後來竟然忘記貼了,就補貼上來,做為又老了一歲的紀念吧。

------------------------------------------------

我已經到了過生日開心不起來的年紀了嗎?

今天從起床,腦子就像停不下來的幻燈片一樣,一直播放好多好多片段,像是沒有理由似的,很多回憶一併湧上心頭。詭異的是,今天我正與家人渡假,理應是情緒高昂的一天,但每每只要有靜下來的機會,我的思緒就會像斷了線的風箏一樣,自動飄得遠遠的,抓也抓不住。

倒不是煩惱著自己的老去(我還沒那麼老謝謝),而是這一天的意義漸漸在改變,再也不是像小時候切蛋糕許願那麼簡單了。Andrew Bird這首The Happy Birthday Song便成了我的最佳生日快樂歌──就把生日當成你在這世界上的最後一天過吧,有何不可?


When I wake up
in the morning
I pour the coffee
read the paper
then I slowly
and so softly
do the dishes
feed the fishes
sing me Happy Birthday
sing it like it's going to be your last day
like it's hallelujah
don't just let it pass on through ya
it's a giant among clichés
and that's why I want you to sing it anyway
sing me Happy Birthday
cause hell what's it all about anyway
sing me Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
like it's gonna be your last day
here on earth

而Travis的這首Slide Show則是我今天完美的心情寫照。怎麼有這麼適合在今天聽的歌呢?

(找了老半天只找到有連帶Blue Flashing Light一起收錄的版本…只好貼這個了)


Today is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the tree
And all the bells are ringing
The sun in the sky
Is bright as bright as second light
Is bright oh God I hope I’m alright
Cause I’m gonna cry
Hold on hold on
Slow down slow down
You’re out of touch
Out of touch
Cause there is no design for life
There’s no devils haircut in my mind
There is not a Wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slideshow and its so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
Hold on hold on
Slow down slow down
You’re out of touch
Out of touch
Cause there is no design for life
There’s no devils haircut in your mind
There is not a Wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slideshow and it’s so slow
Flashing through your mind
Today is the day
But only for the first time
I hope it’s not the last time

淡淡的哀傷,但又帶了一點希望......生日總是帶給我這種感覺。正如Fran所唱的:I hope it's not the last time...希望明年我仍能這樣慶生哩。

生日我也開心不起來了。人大了都不怎麼容易高興了。

你也沒有多大啊!XD
大概我們都屬於生日時會想太多的那種人吧?
