I go to pieces~ 不算是陳任的忠實聽衆,
但也有好一段時間經常收聽他的音樂節目,
Jerry and The Peacemakers,Herman’s Hermits,The Mamas & The Papas,Cliff Richard,Engelbert Humperdinck,Cat Stevens…
聽著這些昔日的黄金旋律,
人就像回到那個純樸年代,
心情便會好起來.
選來I go to pieces不為甚麼, 只是順手拈來, 就像電台每週的衆多點唱歌曲一樣. 那麼, 接下來是Peter and Gordon 1965年的I go to pieces.
I go to pieces Peter and Gordon
When I see her comin’ down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don’t seem to hear a word I say
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide Go to pieces and I almost die Everytime my baby passes by
I tell my arms they’ll hold someone new Another love that will be true But they don’t listen, they don’t seem to care They reach for her but she’s not there
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide Go to pieces and I almost die Everytime my baby passes by
I remember what she said when she said Goodbye baby. We’ll meet again soon maybe But until we do, all my best to you I’m so lonely, I think about her only
I go to places we used to go But I know she’ll never show She hurt me so much inside Now I hope she’s satisfied
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide Go to pieces and I almost die Everytime my baby passes by Go to pieces and I cry Everytime my baby passes by Go to pieces and I cry
Waiting in the weeds~ 世上能稱得上為超級樂隊的不多,
老而彌堅的更是少至又少,
就連我至愛的Pink Floyd,
早在少了Roger Waters之後已是大不如前了…
所以當Eagles推出[Long road out of Eden]這雙CD時,
雖也乖乖掏出腰包進貢,
但心裡實在不敢寄上太高預期…
於是只抱著平常心,
聽完第1碟,
再聽第2碟,
跟着又重頭聽一遍,
再聽一遍…
不知不覺,
都不知把唱片聽了多少遍了.
[Long road out of Eden]的第1碟是傳統的Eagles曲風,
第2碟則有比較多的新鮮感,
20首歌曲中有公路搖滾,
也有舒情小品,
個多小時的音樂可謂各適其式,
不過個人還是喜歡老東西,
而第1碟中的一曲Waiting in the weeds就最得我心.
優美而傷感的旋律,
配上有如一浪疊一浪的樂句,
真有種漫長等待的感覺.
歌詞雖是描述對情人的守候,
但總覺當中不會是那麼膚淺,
聽著曲末那段淡然而又內歛的編曲,
就覺得歌曲與其説是描寫感情,
我倒認為更像是描寫人生,
在漫長的等待之中,
那種沉著的堅持.
It’s comin’ on the end of August
Another summer’s promise almost gone
And though I heard some wise man say
That every dog will have his day
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
I don’t know when I realized the dream was over
Well,there was no particular hour,no given day
You know,it didn’t go down in flame
There was no final scene,no frozen frame
I just watched it slowly fade away
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I’ve been keepin’ to myself
Knowin’ that the seasons are slowly changing you
And though you’re with somebody else
He’ll never love you like I do
I’ve been biding time with the crows and sparrows
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
If finding love is just a dance
Proximity and chance
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Back roads running through the fields
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
You’re at the county fair
You’re holding hands and laughing
And now the Ferris wheel has stopped
You’re swinging on the top
Suspended there with him
And he’s the darling of the chic
The flavor of the week is melting down your pretty summer dress
Baby what a mess you’re making
I’ve been stumbling through some dark places
Now I’m following the plow
I know I’ve fallen out of your good graces
It’s alright now
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the wild birds scattering the seeds
Answering the calling of the tide’s eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart
A small gray spider spinning in the dark
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I’ve been keepin’ to myself
Knowin’ that the seasons are slowly changing you
And though you’re with somebody else
He’ll never love you like I do
Wish you were here~ 在Pink Floyd的衆多作品中,
Wish you were here可說是難得地充滿深情的一曲.
對昔日同伴要說的話,
並非寸寸思念關懐,
反而是先來連串的質問與指責,
但當中並沒有恨…
想說的其實是:
[我們也同様是迷失且惶恐的靈魂啊,為甚麼你就要不在這裡呢…]
有時男人間的情義,
真的比男女間的愛情更難說得清楚啊!
在完成[Dark side of the moon]這張世上最重要之一的唱片後,
Pink Floyd為記念樂隊的創建者Syd Barrett而創作了[Wish you were here]一碟.
Syd Barrett是第一代Pink Floyd的舵手,
他以過人的才氣創作出前所未有的音樂,
開創並奠定了樂隊早期風格,
但因毒品及精神上的問題,
以至他在製作了Pink Floyd的頭兩張唱片之後,
便從此退出了樂隊,
其後他的去向衆說紛云,
有說他退隊不久後便已因病離世,
亦有謂他隠居於家鄉劍橋,
執真執假多年來都是個謎…
故事並未完結.
1975年,
當Pink Floyd於Abbey road studios正進行Shine on you crazy diamond的錄音時,
消失了七年的Syd Barrett靜悄悄的出現了在錄音室門外,
當年英俊的才子此時已變了另一個人,
體形胖得發脹,
全身毛髮包括眉毛全都剃光,
神態異常,
以至樂隊衆人認出他來時都不禁哭了.
在這趟Pink Floyd全員最後一次的相遇中,
Syd Barrett由始至終沒說半句,
只是沉默地聽完錄音後便離開了,
在老家渡過空白的三十多年後,
於2006年去世,
終年60歲.
Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond……
Wish you were here
Pink Floyd
So,so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,how I wish you were here
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Change your mind~
旗未動,
風也未動,
是人的心在動.
記得在那個1994年,
認識了一些人,
發生了一些亊,
讀過老子,
讀過世界末日與冷酷異境,
也聽了Neil Young and Crazy Horse的[Sleep with angels].
當改變來臨的時候,
會發覺好像四處都充滿了提示,
遇到的人,
發生的亊,
看過的電影,
讀過的書,
聽過的歌…
都好像約定了似的,
向著同一個方向呼喚,
於是因為莫名的激動,
又或稱靈光一閃,
脚步便朝一個新方向開展了.
秒針一直行走,
齒輪仍在轉動,
再次聽見的聲音,
仍是Neil Young苦口婆心地反覆呢喃著:
Change your mind,change your mind…
Change your mind
Neil Young
When you get weak,and you need to test your will
When life’s complete,but there’s something missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don’t let another day go by without the magic touch
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Convincing you (change your mind)
When you’re confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just can’t play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don’t let another day go by without the magic touch
Protecting you (change your mind)
Restoring you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Soothing you (change your mind)
You hear the sound,you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything you’ve heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don’t let another day go by without the magic touch
Destroying you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Confining you (change your mind)
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Distorting you (change your mind)
Controlling you (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind,change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
The morning comes and there’s an odor in the room
The scent of love,more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Don’t let another day go by without the magic touch
Embracing you (change your mind)
Concealing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Change your mind,change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind,change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind,change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind,change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind,change your mind
Change your mind,change your mind
You keep me hangin’ on~
沒道理地經常想起這首歌,
閒時一静下來,
旋律便會在腦中響起,
多年來一直都是如此!
Every time I stop awhile
And think about your sweet smile
I can’t do nothing else all day
The way that you wink your eye
Every time you walk by
Baby what can I say
You keep me hanging on
I can’t get nothing else on
When the evening rolls around
And there ain’t nobody around
Baby, I think of you
Of all the stars at night
None can match the brilliant light
That I see in your eyes
The humble warmth,the glow
Baby child I know
I still think of you
You keep me hanging on
I can’t get nothing else on
If I could hold you Just one time
Stop that moment in my mind
Human touch~
Human touch不算是Bruce Springsteen的名曲,
但我卻倒是十分喜歡,
尤其經過年月之後,
知道這已是 Bruce Springsteen最後的熱情.
喜歡Bruce Springsteen.
和香港的許冠傑一樣,
Bruce Springsteen的歌常為小人物説故事,
也談人生.
還記得92年的[Human touch]與[Lucky town]兩張唱片是同時推出的,
到此感覺仍像早期的歌曲.
近年他出的幾片CD我仍有買,
不過從Streets of Philadelphia開始,
他的曲風變得沉鬱了,
和Bron to run,Thunder road,The river,Hungry heart,Glory day,My hometown…等歌曲相比,
已失去昔日神采,
也少了那份感動了.
原本找來Bruce Springsteen,
是想尋回一些令人振奮的感覺,
但驀然意識到,
自己竟需要證實[我還有熱情]這回亊…
一下子,
我總算明白Bruce Springsteen的轉變了.
嗯…09年推出的[Working on a dream],
我仍是會買的.
Human touch
Bruce Springsteen
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don’t surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl,ain’t no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain’t gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
I got a deal for you right here
I ain’t looking for praise or pity
I ain’t coming round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Ain’t no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain’t no bread from heavenly skies
Ain’t nobody drawing wine from this blood
It’s just you and me tonight
Tell me,in a world without pity
Do you think what I’m askin’s too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You cant shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
We’re all riders on this train
So you’ve been broken and you’ve been hurt
Show me somebody who ain’t
Yeah,I know I ain’t nobodys bargain
But,hell,a little touch up and a little paint…
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers,they don’t amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby,in a world without pity
Do you think what I’m askin’s too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch
Three little birds~
會想起Bob Marley,
只因[I am legend].
Don’t worry about a thing
Cause every little thing gonna be all right
Singin’:[Don’t worry about a thing,
Cause every little thing gonna be all right!]
Rise up this mornin’
Smiled with the risin’ sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin’:[This is my message to you-ou-ou.]
You got it~ Oh,Pretty woman,Crying,In dreams,Blue Bayou,Only the lonely…等名曲首首百聽不厭,
可謂無人不識.
擁有能編寫出優美旋律的才華,
及唱出搖滾史上最動聽的歌聲,
Roy Orbison紅透了60年代,
但當在達到亊業的頂峯之時,
悲劇的命運卻開始了.
在太太於交通意外身亡的兩年後,
一次火災又令Roy Orbison同時失去兩名兒子,
在連番打擊之下,
Roy Orbison的亊業一落千丈,
加上心藏病的困擾,
致使他沉寂了很長的一段日子.
直至1987年,
Roy Orbison於Coconut Grove夜總會舉行了一個演唱會,
Bruce Springsteen,Tom Waits,Elvis Costello,Jackson Browne,K.D.Lang…等一眾崇拜者兼樂壇巨星,
知道前輩要東山再起,
都紛紛到場助陣伴奏和聲.
一様的墨鏡,
一様的滿頭油淋淋黒髪,
Roy Orbison風采不减老而彌堅,
精彩的演出依然光芒奪目.
這次[A black and white night]演唱會十分成功,
緊接著Bob Dylan,George Harrison,Tom Petty,Jeff Lynne幾位殿堂級樂手亦來凑一番熱鬧,
與Roy Orbison组成了臨時樂隊The Traveling Wilburys,
但就在唱片快將推出之時,
Roy Orbison卻因心藏病復發而瘁然去世了.
Roy Orbison的最後一隻個人大碟[Mystery Girl]灌錄於1988年,
但在其去世一年之後方才出版,
其中You got it乃上榜金曲,
90年電影[Pretty woman]亦令Oh,Pretty woman一曲再度紅遍全球,
可惜,
Roy Orbison就總是無緣去安享那份成就…
You got it
Roy Orbison(23.4.1936~6.12.1988)
Every time I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just cant buy
One look from you,I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want,you got it
Anything you need,you got it
Anything at all,you got it
Baby
Every time I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I’m your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want,you got it
Anything you need,you got it
Anything at all,you got it
Baby
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all
Im glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need,you got it
Anything at all,you got it
Baby
Anything you want,you got it
Anything you need,you got it
Anything at all,you got it
Baby
Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
Starry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Like the stranger that you’ve met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will
The Messiah will come again~ Roy Buchanan的唱片我收藏了不少,
有CD也有黑膠.
聽他的唱片,
是每次都停不下來的,
總要由頭到尾,一遍又一遍地聽下去.
尤記得其中[Dancing on the edge]碟裡的一首Peter Gunn,
其彈奏之精彩絕倫,
簡直聽得我目瞪口呆,
一曲既畢,
獨自在家的我,
也不禁向著一對揚聲器中間的音場起立鼓掌不停,
以表敬意!
Roy Buchanan的唱片中,
我最愛的是92年出版的[Sweet dream:The anthology]精選雙CD,
可惜當年借了給人沒回頭,(臭傢伙,真識貨啊!)
之後十多年來每逛二手唱片店我都總會留意,
希望能再尋獲,
而就在今日,
我終於失而復得了!
Mark Knopfler是Dire Straits的主音兼主音結他手,
作曲編曲一手包辦,
乃隊中的靈魂人物,
其結他造詣之高超,
更絕對佔得上搖滾史上最出色結他手之其中一席!
(當然這些是後來才知道的.)
按圖索驥之下,
最初買來的是Dire Straits首張大碟[Sultans of swing],
當唱針放下,
聽到第一曲Down to the waterline那美妙的結他intro一響起時,
我即已驚為天人!
那感覺之强烈就如同一見鐘情,
心想我今生都愛定你了!
就這様,
Dire Straits成為了我的第二最愛.(第一最愛是Pink Floyd!)
找來是Tunnel of Love的現場演出版本,
留意片中Mark Knopfler彈結他的特色~他是不用pick(撥片)的,
不知這會否便是他的彈奏特别靈巧跳脱的原因呢?
Tunnel of Love
Dire Straits
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it’s the life that I choose
Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight but I’ll always tell you where I am
In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races,yeah,just like me she was a victim of the night
I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had a one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning,neon burning up above
And I’m just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love,yeah love
It’s just a danger,and when you’re riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger,she said baby just keep it like this
It’s just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say
Hey mister give me two,give me two now,’cause any two can play
And the big wheel keep on turning,neon burning up above
And I’m just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love,oh oooh love
Well it’s been money for muscle on a,another whirligig
Money for muscle and another girl I dig
Another hustle just to,just to make it big
And rockaway,rockaway,oooh rockaway,rockaway
And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Oh Like the Spanish City to me when we where kids
Hey girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Oh Like the Spanish City to me when we were kids
She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket,I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
And the big wheel keep on turning,neon burning up above
And I’m just high on this world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love,yeah love love
On the tunnel of love,oooh love love
And now I’m searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made To rockaway,rockaway,rockaway,rockaway
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay out to rockaway
And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Like the Spanish City to me when we where kids
Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Like the Spanish City to me when we where kids
Ice cold water is runnin through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up burlap bags
The oats theyre feeding me are driving me wild
I feel unhappy like a new born child
Now,when my time is up,you wait and see
These walls and bars wont keep that stuff from me
No,no,baby
Wont keep that stuff from me
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no
No,no,no,no,no,no,no
I need you right now mama
I need you right now baby
Right by my side,honey
All night long
Make me feel alright…
Yes,all…yes,all…yes,all…alright
You better come on up and get down with me
I’ll make you feel real good,just you wait and see
Make me feel alright…yes,I feel alright…
Yes,all…yes,all…yes,alright
This is a film~ 最近的精神狀態大概回到了15年前,
所以也經常不期然地,
會想起一些90年代中的東西.
This is a film about a man and a fish
This is a film about dramatic relationship between a man and a fish
The man stands between life and death
The man thinks
The horse thinks
The sheep thinks
The cow thinks
The dog thinks
The fish doesn’t think
The fish is mute
Expressionless
The fish doesn’t think
Because the fish knows
Everything
Tom Waits的歌聲頽廢,靡爛,卻感人,
歌詞常刻劃出低下階層的滄桑悲涼境狀,
又或是為生活拼鬥而傷痕纍纍的段段故事,
初聽時可能會令人感到渾身骨痛翳悶,
不過聽下去卻可如慢性中毒般讓遍體神經酥軟下來,
這種風格於早期作品中尤見濃烈.
Jersey girl是Tom Waits作品中少有温柔的一曲,
歌曲是Tom Waits在認識了一位一見鐘情,且在他眼中乃非凡兼有個性,並改變他後半生命運~~也就是之後成為了他的妻子~~的女性之後而寫.
Jersey girl收錄於80年的[Heartattack and vine]一碟中,
全碟感情雖然一貫地內歛深沉,
卻仍難掩Jersey girl一曲中之深情洋溢…
Got no time for the corner,boys
Down in the street makin’ all that noise
Don’t want no whores on eighth avenue
Cause tonight i’m gonna be with you
Cause tonight i’m gonna take that ride
Across the river to the jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I’ll take you on all the rides
Down the shore everything’s alright
You with your baby on a saturday night
Don’t you know that all my dreams come true
When I’m walkin’ down the street with you
Sing sha la la la la la la…
I in love with a jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la…
You know she thrills me with all her charms
When i’m wrapped up in my baby’s arms
My little angel gives me everything
I know someday that she’ll wear my ring
So don’t bother me cause I got no time
I’m on my way to see that girl of mine
Nothin’ else matters in this whole wide world
When you’re in love with a jersey girl
Sing sha la la la la la la…
I in love with a jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la…
And I call your name
I can’t sleep at night
Sha la la la la la la…
I in love with a jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la…

Lee Oskar於18歲時隻身從丹麥初到美國,
踏上開創自己的音樂亊業的旅途時,

In a little while from now 過了一會兒 If I’m not feeling any less sour 如果我感覺不到一點心酸 I promise myself to treat myself 我會承諾好好的對待自己 And visit a nearby tower 參觀附近的一座高塔 And climbing to the top will throw myself off 爬到最高處,想就此一躍而下 In an effort to make it clear to whoever 努力想對旁人釐清這一切 What it’s like when you’re shattered left standing in the lurch at a church 當你粉身碎骨被遺棄在教堂裡,那會是什麼情景?

I can’t stop loving you Ray Charles(23.9.1930~10.6.2004)
I can’t stop loving you So I’ve made up my mind To live in memory of the lonesome times
I can’t stop wanting you It’s useless to say So I’ll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours that we once knew Though long ago,still make me blue They say that time heals a broken heart But time has stood still since we’ve been apart
Floating down from the sky Lovely angel queen,it’s you Shakin from her long sleep Lovely angel queen,it’s you Touching others like a child, Loving others for awhile Come and take my hand,my heart In time we will be together
When we will say goodbye There’ll be no tears from me Time passes by so fast I love you,I remember you,forever
One thousand years she rules the earth Lovely angel queen,it’s you Riding flashes cold as ice Changing everything she sees Touching others like a child Loving others for awhile Come and take my hand,my heart In time we will be together
When we will say goodbye There’ll be no tears from me Time passes by so fast I love you,I remember you,forever
When we will say goodbye There’ll be no tears from me Time passes by so fast I love you,I remember you,forever
I can’t find you anywhere Where do you come from,where are you going? I can’t find you anywhere Where do you come from,where are you going?
