我們倆運氣不錯,正巧碰上中庭的樂夜饗宴:青少年薩克斯風的表演。開場樂曲還是『天空之城』呢!第一首曲目就讓我卸下情緒的重擔、召喚意識飄入無邊無際的想像世界裡。演奏『秋風夜雨』前,有位小帥哥以氣音模擬風聲,沉穩地伴著樂曲輕輕將“夜語”推送入聽眾耳裡,偶爾還有民航機的噴射引擎唱和,著實有趣。兩首流行樂曲:『我願意』和『Somewhere out There』悅耳到我跟著旋律哼唱了起來,一併抒發了些許傷感。中場前的童謠組曲更是逗得我開心地笑了出來,計有『造飛機』、『小毛驢』、『小夜曲』、『茉莉花』等等膾炙人口的歌曲。一位大概三四歲的小弟弟邊聽邊開心地又跳又笑,只差沒興奮地從椅子上摔下來。
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
Thanks to Google, I found that theme song of Satomi Hakken-Den, by John O’banion.
You and I didn't see the evening fly
There was magic in the air
With times enough to spare
Now it's hours I have to say goodbye
Well you know I have to goBut still it hurts me so
I don't want this night to end
Don't say goodbyeJust hold me close, my darling
I don't want this night to end
Pretend awhile and let's forget tomorrow
Feeling blue I can see it in your eyes
But I've got a job to do
Got to see things through
But I will be near even when I am out of sight
Counting seconds till the day I'm coming home to stay
Oh, my darling, love me tonight
And chase the morning shadow with your heavenly light
I find my strength inside your arms
So love me tonight and keep my heart beside you
When you go, oh oh oh....
