Tracking

過年時，回老家房間裡翻找出一堆舊物，順便找一些需要的書，在層層疊疊的雜物中，發現了 Mr. Big - Lean Into It，這張專輯。其實我對音樂並沒有所謂的偏好，而Mr. Big這類型的音樂，初啟於高中住宿年代，同寢的同學有一個人稱搖滾小龍，在那個都是卡帶的年代裡，他擁有許多的收藏。而也不知道他是從那裡找到這些東西的，當時他還曾經在校刊上寫過關於搖滾樂的文章，多少人看得懂？幾希吧。

當時總是彼此流通卡帶，交換著聽，而聽這種很殺的音樂邊讀書，養成了我後來越吵越能寫東西的壞習慣，太過平順的音樂反而讓我寫不出東西，無論是雜文抑是正經報告論文皆如此。只是，在碩士論文末期時，我卻是靠著巴哈的「布蘭登堡協奏曲」寫完的，那時反覆地播放同一張CD，以致於我後來只要聽到這曲，就想到那年冬天。

Mr. Big 的背景其實我並不甚熟，不過Lean Into It這張專輯裡的「To be with you」倒是讓我到現在還能跟著哼唱。高中時買的卡帶早己不見蹤影，而 CD 是後來再買過的。

聽聽歌吧。

To Be With You



民謠式的曲風，很好跟唱，不過搖滾小龍認為「這才不是Mr. Big」

Addicted To That Rush (Farewell Live In Japan)這段影片才是真的夠味道。




《後記》

• Mr. Big 的介紹

• To Be With You 歌詞

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
