-ΦMy Distilled SpiritΦ-

整天胃都不是很舒服
這要從楓林小徑轉角的一隻狗說起
早上走在前面的女生被狗狂吠擋住去路轉而向我求救
我不帶敵意地走到中間跟狗面面相覷了一會
牠像做錯事的孩子害羞躲開了(比誰先笑就輸了的那種落敗法)
之後女同學問我lab想請我飲料 身為好孩子當然是帥氣地說免了
"不然請你這個" 想了一會她還是從提袋裡拿出生活泡沫綠茶

結果就是它讓我胃不舒服了一天

以前我是討厭貓狗的
只是這幾年親朋好友的幾隻寵物讓我有些改觀
上楓橋發現這幾天都在討論那隻狗咬人的問題
原來很多人都在同一處遇到 簡直像定點NPC事件
*解此任務獲綠茶一瓶

"真辛苦阿 雨天還要出來吠人"都想對黃狗兄這樣說了
"吼～汪，"黃狗兄答

雨天偶爾會想到這首歌



The rain song
--------------------------------------
It is the springtime of my loving -
the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing -
so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing -
I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles -
flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes.
It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize -
These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go.
I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion -
I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient -
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall...
It's just a little rain...

因為奇怪又好記的團名讓我對他們有印象
加上No Rest這支MV還有想不起來像哪個童星的主唱
終於確信去年確實聽過
這些獨立樂團的特點就是聽了一堆也記不起來
(總算想起來了 主唱的金髮和大旁分很像淘氣阿丹)

和聲和編曲十分優美
不過真正亮點是那支適時出現小提琴
把整個情緒層次帶出來
但是根本原因我相信是那些滿臉的鬍渣
師父說的沒錯 有蓄鬍的果然功力都比較高強

History Book
---------------------------------------------------
Like faithful oxen through the chalk,
With dragging tails of history walk.
Soon confuse the compass and the cross.
Carefully and cursively we fill our traveling diaries with loss.

Beneath an angry Bible flood,
Did you and I first learn to love.
In my father's car we came to know.
And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below.

As heavy as a history book can be,
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.

Barefoot in a rowing boat,
You lose your shoes and freeze your toes.
And say I wear my sorrow like a crown.
And throw your arms around my head, and see it there in gold and red and brown.

As heavy as a history book can be,
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.

We'll soon forget our parents' names,
Like dogs will drive the wolves away.
And weep with fingertips opposed,
Like a church where nobody congregates.

But sweetness sings in the pasture,
We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
If sand and salt have the answer,
Then the act itself will be louder than the word.
And I'll be on your side
And I'll be on your side
And I'll be on your side
And I'll be on your side

大概是近期看的片子裡我覺得最好看最耐人尋味的
海邊旅店一開始就是個幌子 開在深山卻取這種名字
充滿後現代的場景與荒誕故事
儘管爾虞我詐以假亂真 騙人的反遭背叛
背叛者終究無法如願 得手後欣喜之餘馬上樂極生悲
陰險狡詐的故事背後卻是如此單純而夢幻 甚至環環相扣牽繫著彼此
沒有恨之入骨 沒有皆大歡喜
只有人生無常 歡鬧中帶著惆悵
明明是喜劇卻幾度讓人鼻酸



冒牌貨是否也有變成真品的一天?
形而上的角度你可以說它已超越了
但在現實中又有多少人願意相信
這樣的期待最終淪為荒謬的戲碼 

高一那時沒參加社區化課程
因此禮拜三下午大家簡直玩瘋了
打牌 彈琴 看漫畫 還有練舞練球練地板練身體
遇到中華隊比賽還會眾人聽廣播搖旗吶喊呼口號
教官一巡堂就要逃命似地鳥獸散
那時吉他社同學因為唱的不好時常走音都來找我搭歌
世界末日 lemon tree 鴨子 周杰倫五月天FIR之類的歌
後來給我聽了一曲彰女吉他社社歌《我們這裡還有魚》
讓我多年來一直以為這真的是彰女編的...

說也奇怪 歌詞出現魚好像就會帶進某種超現實的成份進去似的



魚　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 中譯：Orika
---------------------------------------------------------
毫不掩飾地 快和你的一切融合在一起啦 事到如今呢
才將可稱之為戀人的時光 封入一顆星砂中

並非言語 而是韻律繚繞耳際
打從兩人尚未相遇之前

反覆拍打的潮浪聲 和冰冷的太陽一同徬徨
環抱著不住顫抖的肩膀 我哪兒也不回

說著「一定還沒結束啦」 當不成魚兒的魚兒
用無數個虛構的故事 滋潤了心靈的一部份

這片大海是 我們的大海呀
連結起被隱匿不顯的世界

閃著鉛灰色光芒的 這片大海 …
被隱匿不顯的 … 並非言語 …
打從兩人尚未相遇之前
和滲入水泥的冰冷太陽一同徬徨
環抱著不住顫抖的肩膀 我哪兒也不回
