'Cause it's a Bitter Sweet Symphony， this life~ 　

原本＜目覚まし珈琲＞根本就不可能有這篇文章的...
反正首頁都放了歌曲，那就順便了...
因為＂'Cause it's a Bitter Sweet Symphony， this life~＂這句歌詞，是所有＜目覚まし珈琲＞朋友你我的人生寫照？！



來過 ＜目覚まし珈琲＞ 的朋友，是否有注意到２樓書架上，放著一位帶著超大墨鏡阿豆仔的相片？！
這個蒼白憂鬱臉孔的男人是瞎咪郎？
他 就是我的超級偶像我的神，９０年代 大不列顛島引領＂Brit-pop＂樂潮 的經典天團 -- The Verve 靈魂創作兼主唱 -- Richard Ashcroft
　現在＜目覚まし珈琲＞首頁上華麗管旋樂流竄的歌曲 -- Bitter sweet Symphony， 正是出自 The Verve 於１９９７年 左踢 Radiohead 右打 Oasis 手砍 Suede 頭擊 Blur 的曠世典大牒，也是我的＂史上最愛大牒＂ -- Urban Hymns 的開場歌曲～

雖然 The Verve ／ Richard Ashcroft 和 Benjamin Biolay 的樂風都是煙霧瀰漫且迷幻頹靡到讓人喪志的樂種，也都是才氣縱衡的音樂詩人，也都是我的超級偶像我的神...
但不似 Benjamin Biolay 那種全世界有品味的咖啡館，都該播放的那種優雅美好的浪漫旋律... ＜目覚まし珈琲＞ 並不打算在 Blog 上介紹 The Verve 的音樂...
因為 The Verve 那種迷幻頹廢到好似要精神崩潰的 Psychelic Rock / Space Rock / Progressive Rock 樂風，是不可能在 ＜目覚まし珈琲＞ 播放的... 　
否則客人正準備入口的雪白拿鐵奶泡，應該會噴在座在對面的朋友臉上變成刮鬍泡沫？　正在談情說愛的情侶，含情脈脈應該會翻白眼且立刻被嚇走吧？ = =

剛好首頁這幾天放的是充滿朝氣且明亮的＂Bitter Sweet Symphony＂，雖然她的歌詞是那麼的無奈絕望 ，Richard Ashcroft 唱的是那麼的慷慨激昂卻使不上力... 但這篇只是解釋一下書架相片的典故～
順便放幾個不會嚇人且旋律美好的ＭＶ給有興趣的朋友觀賞









１９９７... １９９７... １９９７...
這是一個最美麗的音樂都擠在這年現世的年代～
回頭一聽... 這首１９９７年大不列顛島的國歌 -- Bitter Sweet Symphony 竟已演奏了１０年！




＂因為失落　所以最好＂







是否覺得這個ＭＶ很熟悉？
是的～　楊乃文的某首歌的ＭＶ導演就是抄襲這個這首＂Bitter Sweet Symphony＂經典ＭＶ

每聽完 Bitter Sweet Symphony ，自然而然就要再響起民謠吉他撥旋聲...






這首＂Sonnet＂ 和 U2 的＂Where The Streets Has No Name＂並列為我的＂搖滾聖歌＂的超級～超級～愛歌！
不似 Bono 充滿撼動人心的歌聲吶喊... Richard 永遠要死不活的頹靡歌聲，在這首有關＂信仰＂的歌聲依舊，使不上力的頹靡歌聲卻直敲我的靈魂深處... 真的是會淚濕的一首搖滾聖歌！

另外，這個 mv 拍的超棒超經典～
我第一次看到這個 mv ... Richard Ashcroft 酷到爆～ 根本是神～


Sonnet

My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know


Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord


Why can't you see
That nature has its way of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye


Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord


Sinking fast within a boat without a hull
My lord
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
My side
By my side


Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord
I stop to say hello
'Cause I think you should know by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now (more) (less)

The Drugs Don't Work


All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more






這是一張真的把我催出淚水且一催就無法停止的經典噴淚爆漿大牒！
