天堂的恩怨情仇NON NON:Joni Mitchell 瓊妮米雪兒

民歌因為一般是缺乏雄渾的樂器組合作背景音樂襯托，所以更形需要歌唱部份的韻味素求和歌詞方面的雕琢作彌補。
Joni Mitchell瓊妮米雪兒是 Madonna麥當娜少女時代崇拜的偶像，麥當娜曾表示，瓊妮米雪兒的詞對她有著深邃的影響(註1).
.
的確，瓊妮填詞的技巧是她音樂創作的最大特色，幾十年多產的優美樂章結合著深刻的詞兼有熾熱浪漫的戀曲和帶幾分苦澀況味的人生之歌，以抑揚對比強烈的唱腔，唱出言表秀麗可喜言內涵義深遠的歌詞，永遠使人激賞.

她的音樂不獨是音樂，也是一部長篇論述人生和紅塵的書，尚不只這樣，她的結他技巧是一絕，她所有的音樂封套都是由她親自的攝影作品或畫作作設計的，她的畫作有點梵高的味道，在所有女性音樂人之中，她最堪稱才女。以下選錄一些她的名句，讓我們透過她的眼睛看塵
世。
.
「我嚐以兩個角度去看愛情，從給與和獲取，但仍然不知怎的，總是愛的幻象在我所有的回憶之中，我真的完全不懂愛情。」(註2)
她的愛情觀，愛情是虛幻的，短暫的，捉不住的，也不是結婚保障得了的
.
「我們不需要一紙婚書來約束真誠對待。」(註3)
愛情的持久不能依賴婚姻，婚姻與否，我們往往任性自由是戀愛的致命傷
.
「我們愛我們的戀愛，但卻不如我們愛我們的自由。」(註4)
人在浮生之中對靈性的追求往往是短暫的，而對物慾則永遠是貪婪的
.
「我們的未滿足是他們的欣喜，於是他們出售解救，包裝的愛情，四個輪子載著的愛情，、、、如果你使用這洗髮乳，真愛就會向你投懷，如果你擁有那華厦、香車、名酒和香熏，你的愛侶們將都會貌似電影明星。」(註5)
有需就有供乃市場定律，於是就有人推銷幫忙擄住芳心的產品、本尊分身的法術、通往天堂的階梯和可享名聞致富的持咒。
因為我們信仰功利主義和專注物質享受，我們向孕育一切生命的大地之母不停的索取
.
「擱下那沾血的礦砂，你們沒聽見林中淒厲的喊叫嗎？，大地上你們所觸及的任何地方都使她潰傷，每一回你們剝她的皮都令一切哭泣。」(註6).
我們能放緩開採大自然的步伐嗎？我們肯聽聽大地的哭泣嗎？
不，因為

「沒有人願意捨割任何曾經擁有的，那是人類這只動物的天性。」(註7)
政客和財閥們利用人類的動物天性，以三分道理掩飾七分醜惡，進行欺騙和剝削，而人們卻樂於虛名和眼前小利，往往對正義冷漠

「每個我所認識的人都缺少關心，並以此為傲，這是一個糟糕的時代去堅持正義。」(註8).
美國政府的強權主義更令瓊妮所不齒

「這是一個已經失去了反省能力的國度，並以自由之說掩飾謊言。」(註9)
兵侵伊拉克，可鄰的美國年青人被送上前線，執行不自願的被粉飾為神聖的任務
.
「我(士兵)只不過是暴風雨中的粉筆記號，我(士兵)就是那黑色翅膀(催命使者) 的拍打聲。」(註10).
在充滿偽裝和新舊價值交替的時代，人很容易犯錯和陷入不幸的經歷
.
「我們都是囚於如旋轉木馬般的時間裡，我們無法回頭走我們只能回頭看。」(註11).
人生是一條單程道，曾經的起伏哀樂已矣，無法改變，有時候你可能會不甘心，有時候你可能很執著，在人生的叉路上迷罔
.
「但你知道人生是為了學習，我們是星塵，我們金光閃閃，而我們需要尋找路徑，返璞歸真。」(註12).
回頭看只為從錯誤中學習，好為將來作更善的打算，我們要走出悲傷，我們要走出欺騙，我們要走出迷信，我們要走出貪妄；我們別老愛嘮叨，我們別老說如果當年，我們別困於過去的哀傷之中。
.
「我學曉了一個女人不可以是個老婦人。」(註13).
哈哈，男人一樣的，我早已學曉了一個男人不可以是個老公公。年華可以不再，身體可以邁老，但心態一定要保持年輕，決不能讓哀傷沉澱在心底。

瓊妮年輕時少不更事，不幸做了未婚媽媽，為了生活不得不把女兒交孤兒院收容，日後她成了名賺了錢，但女兒已為別人所領養，事實無法挽回，瓊妮只能把緬懷化作祝福和希望。

「只有小翠綠，似那新春的顏色，在那兒明天會有番紅花讓妳帶回學校。只有小翠綠，似每個夜晚當北方星辰昇降，在那兒有冰棒有慶生新衣，並且有時會有些悲痛。」(註14) .
瓊妮的感觸和感動透過她的歌撥動過多少聽眾的心弦！
.
(註1)    “… she had the most profound effect on me from a lyrical point of view.”,
Madonna 於1997 Rolling Stone雜誌的訪問

(註2)      Both Sides Now
I've looked at love from both sides now
我嚐以兩個角度去看愛情
From give and take, and still somehow
從給與和獲取，但仍然不知怎的
It’s love’s illusions I recall
總是愛的幻象在我所有的回憶之中
I really dont know love at all
我真的完全不懂愛情
.
(註3)      My Old Man
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
我們不需要一紙婚書
Keeping us tied and true
來約束真誠對待
.
(註4)      Help Me
We love our loving
我們愛我們的戀愛
But not like we love our freedom
但卻不如我們愛我們的自由
.
(註5)      The Reoccurring Dream
Our discontent is their delight
我們的未滿足是他們的欣喜
They offer relief for the purchase price
是他們出售解救
Love in a bottle
包裝的愛情
Love on four wheels
四個輪子載著的愛情、、、
If you use this shampoo
如果你使用這洗髮乳
True love will come to you
真愛就會向你投懷
If you had that house car bottle jar
如果你擁有那華厦、香車、名酒和香熏
Your lovers would look like movie stars
你的愛侶們將都會貌似電影明星
.
(註6)      Lakota
Lay down the reeking ore
擱下那沾血的礦砂
Don't you hear the shrieking in the trees? 你們沒聽見林中淒厲的喊叫嗎？
Everywhere you touch the earth she's sore
大地上你們所觸及的任何地方都使她潰傷
Every time you skin her all things weep
每一回你們剝她的皮都令一切哭泣
.
(註7)      “No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.”, Joni Mitchell
.
(註8)  “Everyone I know has attention deficit, and they say it with great pride. it's a bad time to be right.”, Joni Mitchell
.
(註9)      This is a nation that has lost the ability to be self-critical, and that makes a lie out of the freedoms.
.
(註10)    The Beat of Black Wings
I'm just a chalk mark in a rainstorm
我(士兵)只不過是暴風雨中的粉筆記號
I'm just the beat of black wings
我(士兵)就是那黑色翅膀*(催命使者) 的拍打聲*
(天使的翅膀是白色的，黑色翅膀指魔鬼使者的翅膀)
.
(註11)    Circle Game
We’re captive on the carousel of time
我們都是囚於如旋轉木馬般的時間裡
We can’t return we can only look behind
我們無法回頭走我們只能回頭看
.
(註12)    Woodstock
But you know life is for learning
但你知道人生是為了學習
We are stardust
我們是星塵
We are golden
我們金光閃閃
And we've got to get ourselves
而我們需要尋找路徑
Back to the garden
返璞歸真
.
(註13)    “I learned a woman is never an old woman.”, Joni Mitchell
.
(註14)    Little Green
Just a little green
只有小翠綠*
Like the color when the spring is born
似那新春的顏色
There’ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
在那兒明天會有番紅花讓妳帶回學校
Just a little green
只有小翠綠
Like the nights when the northern lights perform
似每個夜晚當北方星辰昇降
There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes
在那兒有冰棒有慶生新衣
And sometimes there’ll be sorrow
並且有時會有些悲痛(小翠綠指瓊妮的女兒)

THE CIRCLE GAME~~Joni Mitchell
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet just to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

我和david相反,我正在學著做一個快樂自在的歐巴桑...
哈!哈!

霍爾的移動城堡,年輕的女孩被女巫下了詛咒，變成一個老婆婆．從此，老婆婆內心有一個年輕女孩；年輕女孩也因此體會到老婆婆的智慧和空虛．．．

『原來老婆婆最不怕的就是「自我形象」，生命能活下去就是恩賜，管他別人怎麼看．．．老婆婆那樣的潑辣爽朗又處處善良觀照人的形影，原來是我童年裡見識到最多的婦人身影．那是東方女性壓抑半生後展開筋骨做自己，卻依然活在人間給予關照的典範』（王理書／帶著傷心前行）

我現在，很喜歡在路上觀察老人．．．也漸漸有一種說不出來的親切感～也許，是自己也要朝著那個方向前進的吸引力吧！

麻煩更正：
(1) 財"閥"的閥字
(2) 文內及註14，"在那兒有冰柱有慶生新衣"
改為"在那兒有冰棒吃有慶生新衣"，請問在台灣是叫冰棒還是冰棍呢？請妳選合適的詞。(廣東話叫雪條)

Both Sides Now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqQlfFuQFXo
Both Sides Now

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall
I really don't know love
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends they are acting strange
And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all

Help Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdmFi1C8BKo
Help me
I think Im falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
Im in trouble again
Im in trouble
cause youre a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taiking-ladies man
And you love your lovin
But not like you love your freedom

Help me
I think Im falling
In love too fast
Its got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
cause Ive seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin
But not like we love our freedom

Didnt it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didnt it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didnt it feel good
Didnt it feel good

Help me
I think Im falling
In love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
Thats such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin
But not like we love our freedom

我們都是囚於如旋轉木馬般的時間裡，
我們無法回頭走我們只能回頭看

台灣也有旋轉木馬的歌曲.

旋木作詞：楊明學　作曲：袁惟仁

擁有華麗的外表和絢爛的燈光　我是匹旋轉木馬身在這天堂
只為了滿足孩子的夢想　爬到我背上就帶你去翱翔

我忘了只能原地奔跑的那憂傷　我也忘了自己是永遠被鎖上
不管我能夠陪你有多長　至少能讓你幻想與我飛翔

奔馳的木馬　讓你忘了傷　在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光　不需放我在心上

旋轉的木馬　沒有翅膀　但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場　我也只能這樣

我忘了只能原地奔跑的那憂傷　我也忘了自己是永遠被鎖上
不管我能夠陪你有多長　至少能讓你幻想與我飛翔

奔馳的木馬　讓你忘了傷　在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光　不需放我在心上

旋轉的木馬　沒有翅膀　但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場　我也只能這樣

奔馳的木馬　讓你忘了傷　在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光　不需放我在心上

旋轉的木馬　沒有翅膀　但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場　我也只能這樣
