[coldrain] 8AM

 

coldrain.jpg
雖然是日本團, 團員有兩個美國人
但是英文歌詞唱得像日文倒也滿妙的...
不過他們大部分歌的編曲是比較接近歐美搖滾團的


8AM
------------------------------------------------------
Sunlight
I can't remember why

We stayed up until 4AM

We talked about

Nothing important and then made love

The birds wake up we close our eyes

The birds wake up we close our eyes


I love how she calls my name
Inside her dream

Kiss's me still half asleep

I wish that we could stay like this

At 8AM


Time flies
I can't remember

The first time that we met

Now I need her

Like I know she needs me too

It can't get much better then this

It can't get much better then this


I love how she calls my name
Inside her dream

Kiss's me still half asleep

Don't I wish that we could stay like this

At 8AM

I stop the alarm to watch her sleep and think I'd anything

If I could make this time rewind forever

To 7:59


I love how she calls my name
Inside her dream

Kiss's me still half asleep

Don't I wish that we could stay like this

At 8AM

I stop the alarm to watch her sleep and think I'd anything

If I could make this time rewind forever


If I could make this time...

If I could make this time rewind forever

[Paul Tiernan] How To Say Goodbye

Paul Tiernan.jpg

 

How To Say Goodbye
----------------------------------
Living isn't quite the same
You said to me, it's runnin' away.
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of
Why should you stay
You love to say goodbye
And always counted all the time
'til he was free
to get up and leave
to learn how to breathe
again...

Slippin' out to have a cigarette
with someone else that he'd never met
Ask her if by the way would you like to
run away and try to forget
Just not to stay
To leave without saying why

To get up and go
To catch the last train
To get in some car and drive out again
To never come back this way
Left to say

goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwar

goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwuar

愛情無限譜(Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist)

nick-norahs-infinite-playlist.jpg
"Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The first single. It's effing brilliant, right?... That's what everybody wants, Nicky. They don't want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don't want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand." --- 也許戀愛追求的東西就是這麼簡單

雖然是部青春氣息濃厚的YA片,
卻意外地合我的口味,
可能是之前都被迪士尼之類的YA片嚇怕了...
不過真正吸引我的是裡頭的音樂,
配樂選得很讚, 對整個流暢度和心情起伏有大大加分
還有紐約的live house夜生活感覺很熱鬧
(但我想應該沒電影裡那麼童話)
整部片有股青春、充滿希望的氣氛
從音樂中找尋心靈伴侶,
好像只要有愛和音樂就能克服一切,
連啤酒都不需要(除了那個搞笑的卡洛琳)
完完全全是我所嚮往的生活!
喔對...當然不能少了口香糖!

戲裡人物的互動和對白十分有趣,
主角那幫Gay朋友充滿了笑點,
他們的友誼也著實讓人感到溫暖
另外女主角Kat Dennings真的正到翻掉,
古怪又有點龐克的氣質越看越討喜,
一些小動作和表情也很可愛

Artist: Army Navy
Title: Silvery Sleds
----------------------------------
We were the gray sound boys,
We break and just made ends,
Weathered the coldest hours.

On the walk through the war heads,
We float away on silvery sleds,
Affecting my useless charms.

We bend, we break, we just can't stand it,
We got no money so we're running away,
This time is wrong, let's demand it.
Is there a cure?

Between the cracks in the asphalt,
The lines are drawn but quickly divide,
Meant from the boldest arcs.

As the summer migrates,
The frost recedes away for the fire,
And hides in the thickest fogs.

We bend, we break, we just can't stand it,
We got no money so we're running away,
This time is wrong, let's demand it.
Is there a cure?

Cause everybody knows there's no solution,
Not everybody gets what they would like.
I don't want to be in this place forever,
I don't want to be here for tonight.

I'll hit my stride in some other light.

Cause everybody knows there's no solution,
Not everybody gets what they would like.
I don't want to be in this place forever,
I don't want to be here for tonight.

If we try to run, do you think I might find it?
I don't even think that there is time,
If you wanna go that's your decision,
Never been the one that said "Goodbye."

Cause everybody knows there's no solution,
Not everybody gets what they would like.
I don't want to be in this place forever,
I don't want to be here for tonight.

If we try to run, do you think I might find it?
I don't even think that there is time,
If you wanna go that's your decision,
Never been the one that said "Goodbye."

20th Century Boy

 

有名的一首老歌
英國樂團T.Rex 1973年的作品
幾十年來翻唱不斷, wiki上都有詳細介紹
X Japan更是幾乎演唱會必唱
Levi's也拿來做廣告, 主角是Brad Pitt
還有Nokia也有
最近改編成電影的日本經典漫畫《20世纪少年》也是由此命名

 

20th Century Boy

-----------------------------------------------

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good

Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

 

I move like a cat, charge like a ram,

Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man

 

'Cause it's plain to see you were meant for me

Yeah I'm your boy your twentieth century toy

 

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good

Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

 

Fly like a plane, drive like a car

Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man

 

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me

Yeah I'm your toy your twentieth century boy

 

Twentieth century toy, I wanna be your boy

Twentieth century toy, I wanna be your boy

 

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good

Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

 

I move like a cat, charge like a ram

Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man

 

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me

Yeah I'm your toy your twentieth century boy

 

Twentieth century toy, I wanna be your boy

Twentieth century toy, I wanna be your boy

另外不得不推一下這中年大叔"歐吉團"了!

Queens of the Stone Age

queens.jpg
之前滾石音樂雜誌曾選為「當代最重要十大重搖滾樂團」
感覺像有點acid的heavy metal
簡單的重金屬和弦、低沉吵雜的音色、還有些迷幻
初聽或許真有點不習慣
有幾段編曲帶著不和諧的飽和感
彷彿每種樂器都要衝出來做主角
不過我完全被他的power和間奏的即興solo迷上
 
No One Knows

Michael Jackson

R.I.P.
一代巨星殞落 
這個從有記憶以來第一個認識的外國人... 
 
記得小時候家裡一捲錄影帶
裡頭有Michael Jackson 從小時候Jackson 5 時期
到大概90年的所有MV
一堆奇裝異服跳著奇怪舞步的人、有趣的化妝特效和劇情
對還是幼稚園的我來說真的是酷炫新奇
印象最深的就是他和兔子尬舞那段
看完後那陣子還會模仿他的舞步和小動作...
 
一直很討厭那些邊唱歌邊跳舞的歌手
傑尼斯系的藝人、和台灣一些阿哩阿紮的
只是一味想耍帥
結果搞的歌唱得不好, 舞也不怎麼樣...
(雖然我承認幼稚園也是很迷小虎隊和草蜢@@)
不過唯一會讓我覺得超帥的只有Michael Jackson
跳舞就像是發射動感光波一樣
每個節奏每個舞步都有獨特吸引力
 
 
最有名的Thriller... 近來又因為印度麥可而喚醒眾人回憶= =  
(其實完整版前面還有一小段)
 
 
Smooth Criminal
 
 
 
Leave Me Alone
(這mv真的很有趣, 1989年MTV最佳特效音樂錄影帶)
(忘記歌名...找了好久才找到)
  
另外還有Beat itBillie JeanBad
Black or White等都是他最有名的歌曲
生髮水和大悶鍋那個變臉特效還是從Black or White的MV來的...
 
 
最後還滿喜歡他唱The Beatles的Come together

【村上‧喫茶】貝多芬:大公鋼琴三重奏

「這首曲子是貝多芬獻給奧地利的魯道夫大公的。...如果沒有他的話,貝多芬可能要走過更苦難的路吧。」
 
 
第一樂章 稍快的快板

 
 
幾番掙扎後還是去了台北愛樂室內樂坊的村上。喫茶
原本以為是抽到在國家音樂廳的極端村上之夜
結果只是小小的音樂沙龍...
不過場地小也有好處啦
離演奏者真的很近, 氣氛也滿溫馨的
 
前面先是兩首巴哈的大提琴和小提琴無伴奏組曲
接著是30分鐘以上的壓軸
貝多芬的大公三重奏
三種樂器在午茶中的對話
的確有一股吹過綠草叢的風般的氣味
《海邊的卡夫卡》裡星野為何會被這曲子吸引現在終於能體會了
聽到現場演奏更多了點難以言喻的雀躍
像是內心的什麼有被觸動到...
總之是很棒的演奏
 
Youtube好像一時也找不到書裡所提到1941年海飛茲、魯賓斯坦、費爾曼的百萬三重奏版本
找到的這不知名版本第一段速度好像比較慢...

X JAPAN WORLD TOUR Live in TAIPEI ~勢在必行之夜~

hondo.jpg
只能說真是high到爆~!!
昨天熱血沸騰了一整晚, 還持續到現在
5/30 X-Japan 真的在板橋體育場開唱了!
去年原本已存好錢卻被他們放兩次鴿子...
後來不知不覺中就慢慢花掉了
沒錢情況下只能買看台區, 算是有些小小遺憾
 
中午從彰化出發, 3點多抵達板橋
出客運總站就聽到TOSHI彩排的歌聲
連路都不用找XD
場外氣氛十分熱絡
排隊時看台南區隊伍已經排超長了
現場Coser一個比一個帥氣專業
也有日本和香港的fans遠道而來
 
5點多放行進入會場
看到舞台就開始莫名興奮起來
開場前就已經玩起了we are X
DSC00192.JPG
 
7點一到毫無delay準時開唱
一貫的Rusty Nail和Weekend兩首快歌開場
現場早已嗨到快爆表
然後特別的是Weekend後半
YOSHIKI的鋼琴Solo和SUGIZO拉小提琴(超帥!)
接著進入Silent Jealousy
 
這算是我第一次聽正式演唱會
很多難忘的部份都還不停重播
唱到"紅"時大家拿出紅碰碰的壯觀畫面,
Say Anything、Tears、Endless Rain大合唱,
只有爽字能形容的X jump,
會移動的空中鼓座和YOSHIKI的炫技,
還有整場聲音狀況好到爆的TOSHI,
以及太多太多橋段,
夢一般的3小時,
大概永生難忘
 
最後還是要大喊一下
we are   X  ~~~~~~~~~~
 
----------------------
附上新聞片段
 
民視和中天竟然把HIDE說成前主唱= =

[Eagles] Hotel California

期末考一到就會莫名地聽些經典老歌...
但聽一聽注意力就被移到歌曲上面了= =


我猜po這篇出來幾個關鍵字會讓我近期blog瀏覽次數多個20%吧...

Hotel California
--------------------------------------------------------
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

蕭邦:降A大調第三號敘事曲/布拉姆斯:第二號鋼琴協奏曲

蕭邦:降A大調第三號敘事曲,作品四十七



布拉姆斯:第二號鋼琴協奏曲 - 熱情的快板



很難得的放上兩首古典樂,平常在聽的也就那幾張專輯而已
這兩首好像也都還算大眾口味。
大概都是在念書時不想太安靜又怕音樂會太吵時會放...
不過聽久還是會不自覺被吸進去@@
聽完多少能平靜些...
