「雜記」下星期

下個禮拜的這個時間

我可能在洞里薩湖看見人生百態
可能在小吳哥感受磅礡氣勢
也可能被蒸溽的暑氣悶得不可開交

Angkor, I'm coming :)

「照片」濫觴

我的新工具
Pentax K-x

雖然只是入門機
可是這對我來說實在是太銷魂了
比同級便宜卻有同等甚至超越的優異功能
有一堆濾鏡可以玩 像是假文青玩具相機+正負沖 或是小模型高對比
還附加畫質不俗的錄影

有這個 作品集再做不好就真的該死了!!

可是

買完我也沒錢了

「雜記」要成為

對自己標準更高的人!!

「音樂」Get On The Bus

去年發行的所有作品中 若真要挑一首貫穿自己的生活態度 我想非這首不可了吧

Get On The Bus

Life is too short to hesitate
出来る事しか出来ない だからためらうだけ無駄さ
--因為能完成的事情以外都辦不到 所以猶豫是沒有用的

整首歌只不過是很輕快的旋律
一看歌詞 卻說中了我自己當下所抱持且正努力前往的人生觀

Hey, listen 後悔なんてしないって言ったなら
ごめんって言わないで
--Hey, listen 既然說過了不會後悔
--就不要說什麼抱歉

我想我從這樣的詞裡面 也感受到自己的轉變
也正好就是如此輕快的旋律 最符合這樣的意境

在2008年底
我曾說過全年最能夠感動我的歌是What Love Is (by Mary J. Blige)

題外話

雖然說是日文歌 但是受到西洋音樂相當大影響的BONNIE PINK
歌曲裡常常有西洋音樂的reference在
在同張專輯裡的Happy Ending 唱到了

...「それが人生」ってシナトラは歌うけど...
--...唱著Sinatra那句"This is life"...

運用這樣的比喻 隱隱透露出了BONNIE PINK的音樂品味
再加上2005年 REMINISCENCE這張翻唱專輯裡 所挑選的曲目是多麼令人驚艷
從Misty Orland The Sundays 到The Frente
有深度的歌手 才能做出有深度的作品
自己的作品可以感受到她經過這些風格的薰陶 卻也保留了強烈的個人味道

這就是為什麼 即便老大不小 聽了James Brown到Mary J. Blige
無論是起初的淺聽 或到後來細細品味
還是對BONNIE PINK作品有所鍾情的原因吧

Get On The Bus

好希望有人可以好好翻譯這篇歌詞
自己了解意思 可是也不知道該怎麼寫成中文比較好
哪天若是誰翻了出來 那真的是萬分感謝

作詞：BONNIE PINK 作曲：BONNIE PINK

君がバスを降りた日から 弾かなくなったギター
もう一年は経つんだけど feels like decades チューニングする気配もない

Life is too short to hesitate
出来る事しか出来ない だからためらうだけ無駄さ
Life is too short to think over
寄せては返す波のように Jazzmaster かき鳴らして

※Hey, listen 後悔なんてしないって言ったなら ごめんって言わないで
Listen 人生一度だって気付いたなら このバスに乗って
Just get on the bus※

パレットの乾いた絵の具は あの時の自信を閉じ込めた
哀しみ独り占めしないで 私と混ざって あさってに向かって

Life is too crazy to control
じゃじゃ馬から落馬 ならばスローなバスでいいさ
Life is too funny to give up
遠回りしてあっちこっちスケッチ いつか未来も描いて

△Hey, listen 約束なんてしないって言ったなら　今は抱きしめて
Listen いずれ凍てついてしまうなら 今は燃やして
／いずれ忘れ去ってしまうなら 今は感じて このバスに乗って
Just get on the bus△

don't drag yourself down もう悲しまないで 誰が何と言おうと
don't you understand 人はバスに揺られて 嫌な事を捨てて行くから
Get on the bus, get on the bus

(※くり返し)

またバスに乗って just get on the bus

(△くり返し)

get on the bus, get on the bus, 揺れて get that 揺れて揺られて

「雜記」對於網路溝通的愛與恨

很久以前就想要這麼寫了
網路 我不得不承認是很方便
我也不得不承認自己念的是資工的確是離不開電腦與網路

但是我依然是必須見了面說了話
才能夠算是真正與這人往來的累積時數與質量
是朋友是情人 甚至是同儕或工作往來都是如此

目前這些東西於我而言 只是些方便聯絡的工具罷了
只是墊腳石而不是康莊大道

如果連人際關係都要以網路完成 只會多加幾重在螢幕背後每顆心的枷鎖

於我最理想的使用方式
應該是 上網約個時間見面吧 :)

「音樂」Rainy Dayz

Mary J. Blige - Rainy Dayz feat.


歌詞很棒 之前在個版發過這首歌
引用了與TLC還有Marvin Gaye有關的歌詞
"War is not the answer" "Chasing those waterfalls" ...

最近買了MJB的No More Drama+Love Life的二合一專輯
二合一專輯真的是好東西 我已經有Stevie Wonder, Nelly Furtado, 還有MJB了
收得都是經典專輯 又不貴很優惠窮學生如我

MJB新專輯也是很棒 等台壓中
12月失心瘋買了快十張CD
但真的是停不了手

[Mary J. Blige]
We're always livin so crazy and sexy and cool
And we began to love it (began to love it)
Watchin all the heartache and pain of the world
And thinkin' nothin' of it (thinkin' nothin' of it)
And baby I got love for you
And I know that you got me, baby (got me, baby)
But every time the sun shines bright

Until the sun comes out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me

Sometimes the Rule don't mind the rain
It kinda feels like I'm drownin in the Lord's pain
Until the sun comes out and shines again
Smile, and give me reason to keep on believin'
That everything ain't misleadin'
And I, kiss the clouds on them rainy days
And, smile for you when the skies are gray
Babe, 'cause I'm a tear drop away from cryin'
And a few shots away from dyin
Dear Lord would you shower my pain
let it rain, let it rain on me
While I cherish the air I breathe
I'm an angel, that can't soar, can't fly
And I, mastered it Lord knows why

[Mary J. Blige]

Smile at me, smile at me

[Mary J. Blige]
I feel like an angel
Mend my broken wings
So I can soar again
Lord, let me in
Baby through all the passion, the pain, and the hurt
I feel like I'm fallin', yeah

Makin clothes for all of those that
Spread the love
And for those who can't take it
Stand up
Baby, we gonna make it
In the words of Marvin Gaye
War is not the answer

'Cause nobody loves the rain

Know in your heart, that we are free
Free to believe, whatever we feel
So feel somethin' real, baby
Hey Hey

「雜記」還好

有很多感覺我還沒忘卻
有很多事情我還來得及體驗
