Me >> Myself << MyWorld

嘿嘿~



自從去年10月的Linkin Park 演唱會因Chaster 背傷取消



我的怒吼能量就一直累積至今啦~~



還有四個月~~~



準備好怒吼吧~~~ 呀比!!!!

前陣子在看 Yes Man - 沒問題先生 時



有一段金凱瑞要去救跳樓的人時



突然的就冒出了一首熟悉的歌曲



ㄝ~ Youtube 不給嵌入，想看片段的連過去吧!



Yes Man - Carl sings Jumper





這首歌的原唱是 Third Eye Blind 這個團體



中文翻譯的團名還不錯，叫『心靈矇蔽合唱團』... (不要以為他們是啥唱詩班之類的 ...)



下面是原曲的MV ... (居然還找的到!)



Third Eye Blind "Jumper"







高中時注意到這個團體，是他們的一首歌 - Semi-charmed life









聽到後就衝去Tower Record 把他們的專輯買下來了!

Third Eye Blind Released April 8, 1997, Elektra

...專輯封面真有些...毛骨悚然 ...



當初的我居然還無聊到把Semi-charmed life 這首唱的超級快的歌給練起來了~~ well ... 高中生沒事練練英文咩~



不過這張專輯~ 到現在我偶爾還會拿出來聽~ 真的很經典!!



... 回到 Jumper 這首歌 ...



當初還真沒有仔細研究這首歌的歌詞 ...



原來是首勵志的歌阿~ 電影裡用的場景就整個符合歌詞的意境嚕~



事隔這麼久還可以被電影拿出來用



Third Eye Blind 的第一張專輯也許真的是張經典吧~



看來我還頗有品味嗎 哈



再去看了看他們的網站~



原來他們還一值有推出新專輯 ...



恩~ 是應該再去注意他們的歌了!



Third Eye Blind
Jumper lyrics


I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,

You could cut ties with all the lies,

That you've been living in,

And if you do not want to see me again,

I would understand.

I would understand.



The angry boy,

A bit too insane,

Icing over a secret pain

You know you don't belong.



You're the first to fight,

You're way too loud,

You're The flash of light,

On a burial shroud,

I know something's wrong



Well everyone I know has got a reason,

To say,

Put the past away



I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,

You could cut ties with all the lies,

That you've been living in,

And if you do not want to see me again,

I would understand,

I would understand.



And well he's on the table,

And he's gone to code,

And I do not think anyone knows,

What they are doing here,



And your friends have left you,

You've been dismissed.

I never thought it would come to this,

And I, I want you to know



Everyone's got to face down the demons,

Maybe today,

We can put the past away,



I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.

You could cut ties with all the lies,

That you've been living in,

And if you do not want to see me again,

I would understand,

I would understand,

I would understand...



(I would understand)

(I would understand)

(Understand)



Ya ya ya ya ya...



Can you put the past away?



I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,

I would understand



(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, )

I would understand

(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, )

And I would understand

(X2)

你沒有活在六零年代，你可以與披頭四無關。



但活過整整九零年代，你實在不應該錯過綠洲。





不知為何~ 看到這slogan 讓我噗ㄘ笑出來



不過~



為什麼這些大咖 ... 晚了10年才來台灣 .......







綠洲~ 不是辦桌的時候會喝的綠洲芭樂汁 ...



是我國高中時喜歡的樂團 Oasis 綠洲合唱團



居然要在4月份來台灣辦演唱會了!!!









哇~ 回想我國高中就聽他們的歌 ...



我那時的內心大概充滿憤怒吧 哈



前陣子才又找出他們的歌來聽聽~



還是覺得朗朗上口~



不知道他們的人應該還是會聽過他們的經典 "Don't look back in anger 吧"







這邊再放一兩首我頗愛的歌曲 ...



1995年，收錄在(What's the Story) Morning Glory 中的 Wonderwall



1997年，收錄在 Be Here Now 中的 Standby Me



還記得以前會去胡彤在政大華南興村的小房間裡聽他們的歌ㄝ ...



真沒想到胡彤你現在似乎只聽空氣感音樂的那時還會聽 oasis 的歌阿...







... 再仔細看了一下演唱會簡介~



『 或許我們此生無緣披頭四，但我們絕對不能錯過屬於這個世代的音樂標誌...Oasis！ 』


噗 ...



我想Oasis 應該會頗不爽寫簡介的人把他們跟披頭四比吧~



雖然也許是想稱讚 Oasis 也是從英國出來的經典大團~



但曲風跟作風差了3萬6千8百里吧 ...







p.s. 據說鐵男先生高中時參加同學組的band當主唱，去比賽時唱過Oasis 的 Stand by Me 阿

       難怪現在講英文帶著濃濃的台式英國腔

       那我此生無緣披頭四~ 又沒去聽演唱會的話可以付費要鐵男兄唱一下嗎!!

Jason Mraz 和其7位樂團團員讓我上星期六聽了一場溫馨又動感的演唱會



近兩個小時的演唱會 舞台上只有樂器的擺設，一塊布幕投影簡單的燈光



但台上的爵士鼓手、康嘉鼓手、小號、長號、薩克斯風手、bass手 以及 Jason Mraz 本人



舞台魅力太強了! 音樂的豐富性也很多元，Unplugged, Jazz, Groovy, Funky, Blue



不需要什麼華麗舞台，絢麗燈光，也不需要換一套又一套的服裝



一套簡單的白T 加牛仔褲 隨性的風格卻帶給聽眾一場豐富的音樂洗禮





[圖片取自網路]





我喜歡這樣的風格~



一上台~ 不多話~ 就給台下的整整1~2個小時的歌聲



的確~ 我買的不是電影票，不需要看什麼感人的戲碼



讓我能夠足足沉浸在2個小時的音樂裡就足夠了







大概是因為有Jazz 音樂的風格吧



整場演唱會絕得很溫馨~



其中一首 "Live High" 是跟方大同合唱



三位喇叭手突然在二樓看台出現並演奏



變成整場的高潮之ㄧ







我也很喜歡在唱 "The Dynamo of Volition " 這首歌前



教底下的聽眾如何跟著節奏做動作，說了一句話



Don't let your mind stop you from having a good time!



讓一個人聽演唱會有點ㄍㄧㄥ的我~ 也遵守上面那句話~ 就隨著音樂擺動 and have a good time!!







說到一個人看演唱會~



這場演唱會並不絕得一定要有人陪才行



畢竟~ 票價不便宜~ 如果跟jason mraz 不熟析~ 似乎也沒必要花扣扣去看現場



不過~ 當我到了現場~ 才發現原來有很多人都是獨自前往的~ 至少我那一區是這樣



也許因為有同樣的共鳴，大家會彼此聊天，交流跟分享



所以一點也沒有lonely 的感覺



我也因此認識坐在我前方的女生呢! ^^







最後~



我得要感謝兩年前~



某間服飾店的某個店員先認識了jason mraz 且在店裡放他的專輯



thank you for introducing me such a great artist

之前寫過瑪爺的文章 ....



September 18, 2007 - You and I Both

July 25, 2008 - We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things





張智成的演唱會關後感 (寫的不錯)

   。。。。   



應該很多人都有這個困擾吧 



雖然網誌裡可以放歌 



可是只要每次點一次文章 歌就要從新跑一次~ 



都不能順順的一邊瀏覽各篇文章一邊好好聽歌 



所以 ... 



我做了一個link 在網誌的上方 



就是那個錄音帶! 



按下去就會開一個小小的新視窗~ 



就可以好好的聽歌而不會中斷啦! 



希望你們都還喜歡我的歌單嚕

1. Paolo Nutini - New Shoes.

2. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

3. Jason Mraz - Sleep All Day

Waiting For My Rocket to Come

-Jason Mraz







第一次接觸到Jason Mraz 的音樂

是從這張專輯開始

地點 在一家服飾店

時間 就在試穿衣服的時候聽到

當下的心情 我還記得寫 在這裡



You and I Both 這首歌

讓我聽到笑著流淚 (不是笑到流淚黑)

讓羅曼女覺得我該去當DJ

讓某人聽到怦然心動

他的歌，真的是簡單樸實純真的好聽



網誌裡擺的 Sleep all day 也是一首讓人聽了很relax的歌

覺得很適合下雨天呆在家裡懶在床上時聽

既然下雨出不了門

then why don't we sleep all day, sleep all day ~ over~~



多虧鐵男平時愛聽廣播~

某天跟我update jason mraz 似乎出了新專輯

讓我趕快上網找找









這次的新專輯 【We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things】

很喜歡網路上找到一篇網誌的介紹，

以下擷取自

拉扣不拉扣 -Jason Mraz 之 搶糧搶錢搶娘兒們 (We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things)



新專輯名稱叫做【We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.】跟投名狀的【搶錢搶糧搶娘兒們】一樣有一種逗趣順口溜的感覺，為什麼取這個名字呢？底下是 Jason 的自問自答。






What is We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things?

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is a phrase I lifted from Scotland’s Great Visual Humorist David Shrigley. (His version had the word AND between each statement where I’m using punctuation marks.) I fell in love with his work in 2006 and that phrase, taken from a drawing, stuck with me throughout the entire conceptual process of the album. I just knew it was going to be a perfect album title. Each statement seems to encompass what I was going after: A sing-a-long, danceable fervor.



靈感來自蘇格蘭的一個滑稽演員，聽了之後覺得太棒了！這就是他的專輯要追求的！可以讓人邊唱歌邊跳舞！





So, it’s no surprise the album is visited by various choirs and ensembles, as it's what we (humans) like to do. We Sing. And quite simply to accompany that celebration of music, or by accident the way we react to music; We Dance.





所以呢，這張專輯跟一堆教堂合唱團合作。我們人類就是喜歡唱歌，而伴隨而來就是對歌曲的自然反應，舞蹈。





And what things do we Steal? Practically everything.



那我們偷什麼？我們什麼都偷。





Take away anything from your life that could be changed or has changed and What do you have left?

Just yourself.



如果把你的生命中所有可以改變或已經改變的事物都抽離，你還剩下什麼？剩下你的真我啊！





Therefore, all the stuff around us, even our homes, are

borrowed, begged for, or stolen from someone or something else, past and

present. Music, land, names, ideas, fashion styles, personal choices, etc.

All have been built, designed, or practiced before by someone else. Even the carpenters know that the trees didn’t get a fee to become the house.



所以呢，所有在我們身邊的東西都是跟人家借來求來偷來的，音樂土地姓名靈感等等...就連你住的小木屋都是木匠跟樹木偷來的，樹可沒跟木匠收錢啊！





We Steal from our teachers and masters even, to be more like them.



我們跟老師與大師偷東西，以向他們看齊。





So there you go. Now you know what we're all about.



所以囉！你看我們每個人都會偷東西，這就是人生啊！









We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.



總之這就是我們的專輯名稱的由來啦！



(Or if you want the short answer: I thought it was funny.)



或是你想要短一點的答案：我覺得這個名字很好笑啊！

---

Take away anything from your life that could be changed or has changed and What do you have left?

Just yourself.

如果把你的生命中所有可以改變或已經改變的事物都抽離，你還剩下什麼？剩下你的真我啊！)



真的很喜歡這句，就如同他的音樂一樣，有種回歸最純真的自我的感覺





看了一下官網的行程表~

怎麼Japan, Korea, Singapore 都去了 ...

就是不來台灣開個小型演唱也好ㄚ

很久很久以前...



第一次聽到時就愛上了這首歌



"Wake Me Up When September Ends"  by Green Day



Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends



like my fathers come to pass

seven years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends



here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are



as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends



summer has come and passed

the innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends



ring out the bells again

like we did when spring began

wake me up when september ends



here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are



as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends



Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends



like my father's come to pass

twenty years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends

好聽!



感覺　下著雨



走在沒有車的街上


景色變得暗沉


時間變得緩慢


就像 全世界都成了慢動作

初次聽到這張專輯 是在逛街的時候吧～

邊試穿衣服邊覺得好聽，就去問了店員



今天聽到這首歌，輕快又不複雜的旋律加上某些符合心境的歌詞讓我淺淺的微笑了

雖然也某些心境不太符合，但聽這首歌時～我是微笑的唷！





JASON MRAZ



"You And I Both"



Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me

Oh things are gonna happen naturally

Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side

And balancing the whole thing

But often times those words get tangled up in lines

And the bright lights turn to night

Until the dawn it brings

Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me



Cause you and I both loved

What you and I spoke of

And others just read of

Others only read of the love, the love that I love.



See I'm all about them words

Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words

Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words

More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive



Cause you and I both loved

What you and I spoke of

And others just read of

And if you could see me now,

Oh love, no

You and I, you and I

Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...

And with this silence brings a moral story

More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy



Cause you and I both loved

What you and I spoke of

And others just read of

And if you could see me now

Well I'm almost finally out of

I'm finally out of

Finally deedeedeedee

Well I'm almost finally, finally

Well I'm free, oh, I'm free



And it's okay if you have to go away

Oh just remember the telephone works both ways

And if I never ever hear them ring

If nothing else I'll think the bells inside

Have finally found you someone else and that's okay

Cause I'll remember everything you sang



Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of

and others just read of and if you could see now

well I'm almost finally out of.

I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede

well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

What I Am - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians






I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know if you know what I mean



Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box

Religion is the smile on a dog



I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know if you know what I mean



Choke me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep



What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?



I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know if you know what I mean



Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks

Religion is a light in the fog



I'm not aware of too many things

I know what I know if you know what I mean



Choke me in the shallow water

Before I get to deep



What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?



Don't let me get too deep

Don't let me get too deep...

Brick & Lace!




還有什麼也是有意思又很明顯的對比呢!? 呣呣~




BTW~ 他們的歌也不錯聽~

I dont want to be the filler if the void is solely yours

I dont want to be your glass of single malt whiskey

Hidden in the bottom drawer

I dont want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine

Lend me some fresh air

I dont want to be adored for what I merely represent to you

I dont want to be to be your babysitter

Youre a very big boy now

I dont want to be you mother

I didnt carry you in my womb for nine months

Show me the back door



(chorus)

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at half past six

Well I already know that youd find some way to sneak me in and oh

Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom

You see its too much to ask for and Im not the doctor



I dont want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon

I dont want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2

I dont want to be your food or the light from the fridge

On your face at midnight

Hey what are you hungry for

I dont want to be the glue that holds your pieces together

I dont want to be your idol

See this pedestal is high and Im afraid of heights

I dont want to be lived through

A vicarious occasion

Please open the window



(repeat chorus)



I dont want to live on someday when my motto is last week

I dont want to be responsible for your fractured heart

And its wounded beat

I dont want to be a substitute for the smoke youve been inhaling

What do you thank me

What do you thank me for

打從國中聽到這張專輯~ 就愛上了~

到現在台北家裡的房間裡還掛著她的海報!

國二還國三生平第一次去聽演唱會也是去聽她的~

還記得是在台北市國際會議中心~

還記得聽完後三天活在演唱會當下的震撼~

還記得一年後在演唱會紀錄~

錄影帶上看到 "concert in taipei" 的興奮!



到現在還是覺得~ 經典中的經典~

每首歌的歌詞真實的記錄生活!

是你我都會遇到的情境!

每當心情不好~ 都會把這張專輯在翻出來聽~

現在~ 過了10年了~

Alanis 又把這把這張專輯崇唱~

有MTV unplugged的感覺~

沒有太多複雜的背景音樂~

原本一張充斥著憤世忌俗的專輯又呈現不同的風格了~



看了看原本專輯的封面，

在來比較這次重唱專輯的封面，

版面幾乎一模一樣咩，

只是這次的明顯柔和了很多~

我想連封面都要突顯出~

一樣的音樂~ 但不一樣風格的意思吧!



新版 Hand In My Pocket

哈 常常拿這首歌的歌詞來鼓舞，安慰，提醒自己~

I'm broke but I'm happy

I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded

I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby




What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five




I feel drunk but I'm sober

I'm young and I'm underpaid

I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless

I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby




What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be quite alright

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette




What it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving the peace sign




I'm free but I'm focused

I'm green but I'm wise

I'm shy but I'm friendly baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing

I'm brave but I'm chicken shit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby




And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano




What it all comes down to my friends

Is that everything's just fine fine fine

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxicab...
