YC's vision @ UK

走在街道上，Oxford跟Regend大街上已經開始佈滿了燈飾，
在這個季節裡，每年都會不免想起了這首歌...
也幸好在我的 "I POD" 裡 ，這首老古董還存在著。
紀錄著當時青澀的年歲，美好的回憶。



WHAM ! ，就是如此難忘的回憶。
縱然單飛後的 George Michael 在歷經風風雨雨之後，
仍然在流行音樂歌壇上唱著，
但是在Wham時代那種單純的動感以及青澀的風格，
喔！...Careless Whisper…...多經典的一首情歌啊....

在年少的回憶中，Last Christmas 這首歌，
每到年終，廣播，電視或者是街頭，總會一再播放著這首歌。
描述著情感過去了，只待追憶的感覺，
雖然當時不懂，不過卻也琅琅上口。

今年，今天，這一秒，這一篇BLOG文章，
不勞他們，我自己就先唱開來了。
想起那時候哼哼唱唱，沉醉於旋律歌喉之際，
亦帶著一絲學習英語的動機（好吧，也許只有那麼地一點點）。
至於歌詞，除了將一些片語、連接詞等等予以朗朗上口熟記之外，
對當時還是小學生的我，（沒想到我也有年輕的時候吧）
最有用的就屬其中的 "Once bitten, twice shy”的諺語了：
「一朝被蛇咬。」...多麼的精簡、對稱、有力。

至於歌詞意境？小時候看了MV，
大概只知道這是首意外重逢、內心掙扎的曲子吧。
國小的時候，我哪懂那麼多啊？
只是這樣的旋律，就一直、一直、一直的在腦海裡唱著。

"Last Christmas"

[CHORUS:]
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

[CHORUS:]

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

[CHORUS]

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[CHORUS x2]

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
