Why is the tiny sound appears in the middle of the song right now? It supposed to be coming from an old wooden music box. Stop this madness. you said, "You damn music box. Enough." For you will be heart broken by this unbearable beauty. Once again, you just have to murmuring something from deep in your throat. To protest against, this.
I asked myself, have I ever tired of her? The answer is no. Even though she's just singing the same song over and over again. The answer is still a NO. Never.
2. V.A./Sesame Street Playground (Putumayo) 全世界各地的芝麻街在唱什麼歌?不管印度、南非還是以色列,大人騙小孩都是天下一般拙,同綑的DVD頗有療癒笑果…但當聽到俄羅斯清潔隊合唱著「今天的淚水讓明天去乾」,大概是被景氣冷到還是怎的,不禁熱淚盈眶。
來看看這感人至深的笑中帶淚合唱場面:
3. Martha Wainwright/I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too (Zoe) 就有這種女人老是愛上不該愛的人,年華老去還慘遭劈腿…瑪莎滄涼聲線外,裹著甜美而纏耳的旋律,真是敗犬也美麗。
4. O.S.T./Jodhaa Akbar 帝國玫瑰 (UTV Motion Pictures) 寶萊塢。配樂教父A.R. Rahman。帝王在鼓擊樂聲中迴旋起舞,與公主在醉美情歌中心心相印…好像不用多說什麼了。至今仍在每日Replay,試著能不能聽膩。
5. Nico Touches the Walls/Who Are You? (KRE/SME) 平均年齡22.5的青春無敵搖滾,日團少見的明快性格與強烈旋律,其中輕搖滾慢歌〈葵〉美到讓我心碎同時深感困惑…因為實在找不到好聽以外的詞來形容。
6. Ralph van Raat/Tavener: Piano Music (Naxos) 英國作曲家塔夫納幾乎不是這個時代的人,他的音樂屬於中世紀與悠遠神秘的信仰,難得還有鋼琴作品現在才挖出來,而且曲目也有親和力多了(像是為紀念已逝家貓而寫的之類),聽來正如貓的腳步聲──靜極無痕。
7. 巴奈 Panai/停在那片藍 A Piece of Blue (國際文化教育促進社) 也不管人家是不是等了八年,新專輯就這樣悄悄上架;也不管人家要不要翻開來看,蕭某葛萊美大俠就這樣搞封套…但全世界也只有她連唱嘩啦啦啦這種歌詞,都讓人猛打感動的雞皮疙瘩。
8. O.S.T./Semi-Pro 灌籃大帝 (New Line Records) 非常軟調自以為性感,非常70年代阿福柔,隨著威爾法洛親唱主題曲〈Love Me Sexy〉浮現的是…他全裸斜倚只用籃球小遮重點部位的噁爛畫面!該死,偏偏這首歌現在還在腦海裡擺脫不掉。
拿著CD就像拿顆復刻版籃球手上轉,超口愛→
9. Winter Family/Winter Family (Sub Rosa) 神秘女聲與淡然器樂撩撥、以色列與法國二人組,每個冬天都要有的蒼白冷樂。
10. Fol Chen/Part 1: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made (Asthmatic Kitty) 可愛有活力的電子玩具樂,可惜專輯要到明年2月才發,照慣例又是年終榜發生從缺憾事的罪魁禍首(到時早忘了),所以先預約卡位。發片廠牌Asthmatic Kitty從1999年堅守獨立崗位,還越發越正點,從My Brightest Diamond到Sufjan Stevens都是眾人最愛,特頒沒有任何價值的個人「label of the year」表彰之。
Here I saw was the 5th railroad car waiting section. Actually, it only took 10 minutes by metro to get me on this platform, but homesick already. And, I wasn't going to a place far away from home. I guess when I arrived, it still be sunny and bright, never went dark at all.
While I say goodbye to Taipei gentlely, the train started to move and took me away from home. I said to myself that before I started to work again, I must must must go to that place..... to see that.....
我知道,只要看到了它… 什麼都會好的,沒事了。
I knew, once I saw it..... Everything's gonna be ok. I will be fine with anything again.
你曾失落過嗎 Have you ever been lost 你曾找回過嗎 Have you ever been found out 你曾感到全然孤寂 Have you ever felt all alone 在一日的盡頭 At the end of the day 是的,我在談論意志消沈 Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down 放輕鬆 - 這裡空無一人 Take it easy - there's no one around 只有一面鏡子,還有我和你 Just a mirror and you and me
今晚慧星劃過天際 There's a comet in the sky tonight 讓我自我感覺良好 Makes me feel like I'm alright 我行動自如 I'm movin' pretty fast 以我的體型來說 For my size 我不是要停留 I really didn' mean to stay 只要可以 As long as I have 我就能前進 So I'll be movin' on
