(I'm gonna be)500 miles by The Proclaimers

一首來自B-612號小行星的歌。



When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home, oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreamin' well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you

When I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
When I come home, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

And I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door


聽完了,知道這歌為何來自B-162號小行星,小王子的故鄉嗎?
如此天真、直率,又充滿活力!
這樣一首歌,養育大家懷中那顆,赤子之心。

這歌也是電影《Benny & Joon》的主題曲,Johnny Depp主演。
故事也是這樣真誠,均不見你我眼前的世界顏色。

My My, Hey Hey - Neil Young(Out Of The Blue)

簡單民謠吉他撥刷後,是每個人的故事。



My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.

The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Neil Young歌聲有娘氣,也很空。
彷彿隨時隨地吸吐人生回憶,用歌曲製造美麗的煙圈。
我就是這樣,學會用歌曲記憶人生。
因為,這首歌記憶了我的。

"It's better to burn out than to fade away"
喜歡這句在於,是個生命註解。
是我的座右銘。
值得多找幾個(座右銘),繼續累積。

2007-2008,這歌刻畫了什麼。
研究所、價值、衝撞、波浪。
希望持續創造我人生的大多頭。

Piece of my heart by Janis Joplin

Female rocker想說什麼?
Janis Joplin以及這首歌,說得挺真切。



(Come on…)
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man,
well yeah,

An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman
possibly can ?

Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on
and take it,

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
(break a..)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
(have a..)

Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never never never never never never never hear me
when I cry at night.

Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
(break a..)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
(come on…)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on
and take it,

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
(break a…)

Break another little bit of my heart, darling, yeah.
(have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it
(waaaaahhh)

Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
(break a…)

Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah
(have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good


女性是柔美的,是世間最美的生物。
就連,表達情感的方式,皆具有獨特的美感。
尤其,藉由搖滾樂手的語調表現,能在剛硬音律中感受細緻溫柔。

男人也可能會有類似的呼喊。
情感這回事,是受女性荷爾蒙管制的。
就是要你,非理性嘶吼。
就是要,在情緒中認真看待自己。

Purple haze by Jimi Hendrix

作為開始,這是很好的起點。



2002年,我首次聽到這首歌,那種輕微麻痺的效果,讓我有了震懾心靈的初體驗。

音樂,有的是這樣子的:穿梭、凝窒、亢奮、刺麻......
盡情擴建音樂在你心中的小宇宙。
這是迷幻搖滾(Acid Rock),我在2007年重新認識它。
歡迎Jimi Hendrix進場。

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?


1970年代,那是他的舞台。
而他劃開、蝕去現在的我,讓我擁有我的心靈。
我也決心從搖滾,建立我的生命記憶。
這是一襲大纛,是路途上的重要支點。
這也是一座燈塔,足以照護未來。

歌詞輕甜微苦,可愛地傳達愛情的本質:盲動且迷亂。
旋律卻帶腥鹹,讓人忘卻一切,在自己血液中打轉。
