  • A few babbling...

    Just want to express myself on a place where you don’t know

    Never thought that we would end this way,
    I always thought that all obstacles could be overcome,
    it seemed like I am too much of an idealist

    Still it’s so hard for me to let go,
    never thought that my love could be so suffocating,
    if only I had knew

    I was never regret of starting a relationship with you,
    not even a second, I still think,
    even I had knew the end beforehand, I would love when I can still love you

    I’m developing an irrational hatred of the girl that hurt you so much,
    this girl unknown to me meant so much to you, that I know I can never compare
    I don’t know what part of me made you think of her,
    just thinking that some part of me reminds you of her draws tears to my eyes

    Why don’t you just tell me you never loved me?
    Why say things that you meant to make me feel better?
    I know, I understand but it still hurts
    From your body language, I know it’s all over,
    you can never give me what I seek from you

    I told you not to feel bad, because I chose to love you,
    any outcome is the consequence of my choice,
    still I just don’t want you to feel sad, depressed, you are always the soft spot in my heart
    even for now I am not angry at you, not a bit

    I am making a fool out of myself,
    even now I still think that something between us is real, it’s because you loved me,
    not because of her

    You said you want us to become friends,
    I will try, try real hard, if it’s what you wish for,
    and I still care for you, even you don’t need it now

    Thanks, thanks for the wonderful moments,
    thanks for making me feel loved, thanks for all the things you’ve given me,
    and now, it only hurts when I am breathing

  • How can I live without music?

    今天和朋友說起,我已經很久沒有聽過流行曲,
    廣東歌一向也不怎麼聽,很多時都覺得填詞填得很一般,
    說到最喜歡的詞就是來自Matchbox 20

    當年喜歡上Matchbox 20是因為If you're gone,
    可能是我真的喜歡聽有特別口音的英文,
    Matchbox 20的主音Rob Thomas的歌聽起來都是有點特別的,
    (另一喜歡聽的Alan Rickman說的英文被吾友說是說話像含著些什麼XD)
    Rob Thomas一向都是自己寫歌填詞,
    很多歌都令人很有共鳴,
    很喜歡他寫Rest Stop中的一句
    "While you were sleeping, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
    when it came to mind that I didn't care"
    愛情完了,有時就是這麼回事而已

    那年他和Santana合作的Smooth也是大熱
    Mad season我認為是Matchbox 20最好的album,
    後來Rob Thomas的solo album我覺得也差了一點,(他剪短了頭髮也沒以前那麼hot了)

    推薦tracks:
    Back 2 Good (all time favourite)
    Real World
    Black and white people
    Mad Season
    If you're gone
    Bent
    Rest Stop
    Bed of Lies
    Bright Lights
    How far we've come



    Back 2 good

    It's nothing, it's so normal
    You just stand there I could say so much
    But I don't go there 'cuz I don't want to
    I was thinking if you were lonely
    Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
    At least not to the point that we would think so

    Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
    It's best if we all keep this under our heads
    I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
    But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
    To get it back to good

    This don't mean that, you own me
    This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
    But things worked out just like you wanted too
    If you see me out you don't know me
    Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
    To figure out just what I'm going to do

    And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do
    It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
    And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
    But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
    To get it back to good

    Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
    Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
    Get's caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
    Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're the same
    And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
    To get it back to good

  • 遲來很多的Wall E感想

    雖然在上畫時已經很有興趣要看,
    到最後還是沒有進影院,
    今天心血來潮把Wall E翻出來好好看了一次(其實是因為跟朋友在玩具店見到Wall E和Eve)
    之前因為朋友們都說很精彩,所以自己也是抱著很大期望看的,
    看完之後只能說Pixar是神!!!

    很久沒有看過這麼簡單而感動的電影,
    看完Wall E之後滿心都是幸福的感覺,
    故事劇情簡單到近乎老土,可是一點都沒有冷場,
    開場時Wall E獨個在地球的生活,很凄涼很寂寞,
    其中一個情節是Wall E起床時電量不足,於是連履帶都穿不好XD
    工作中的朋友應該都有過類似的經驗,
    明明睡眠不足可是又要上班XDDD
    印象深刻的一幕是在Axiom上面的學童,受的教育竟然是"B&L是你最好的朋友"
    B&L是當時地球上(及地球外)最大的消費品公司,
    雖然只有出現了一句,可是仔細想想真的是很令人心寒的
    作為精彩到尾的電影,連credit都非常好看(個人一向偏好有心機做credit的電影)

    一直都沒有特地去看Pixar的電影,
    不過看了Wall E之後不得不承認Pixar果然還是動畫電影界的神...

  • Today's dream interpretation

    Insect

    To see insects in your dream, signifies minor obstacles that you must overcome. There are small problems and annoyances that need to be dealt with. Something or someone may be "bugging" or "pestering" you. Alternatively, insects are also said to be symbolic of precision, alertness, and sensitivity. You may need to organize your thoughts and sort out your values. Sometimes they are seen as divine messengers.

    Centipedes

    To see a centipede in your dream, suggests that you are letting your fears and doubts hinder you from making progress and achieving your goals. You need to stop thinking negative thoughts.

  • 送給自己和未拍拖的朋友們

    Something Beautiful

    You can't manufacture a miracle
    The silence was pitiful-that day
    And love is getting too cynical
    Passion's just physical-these days
    You analyse everyone you meet
    But get no sign - loving kind
    Every night you admit defeat
    And cry yourself blind

    If you can't wake up in the morning
    'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
    If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Can't control it try as you might
    May you find that love that won't leave you
    May you find it by the end of the day
    You WON'T be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Something beautiful will come your way

    The DJ said on the radio
    Life should be stereo - each day
    And the past that cast the unsuitable
    Instead of some kind of beautiful
    You just couldn't wait
    All your friends think you're satisfied
    But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
    Forgot the time feeling petrified
    When they lived alone

    If you can't wake up in the morning
    'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
    If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Can't control it try as you might
    May you find that love that won't leave you
    May you find it by the end of the day
    You WON'T be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Something beautiful will come your way

    Some kind of beautiful x3

    All your friends think you're satisfied
    But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
    Forgot the time feeling petrified
    When they lived alone

    If you can't wake up in the morning
    'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
    If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Can't control it try as you might
    May you find that love that won't leave you
    May you find it by the end of the day

    You WON'T be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
    Something beautiful will come your way x2

  • 無法抒解的愁苦---花渡

    fado

    Fado」是葡國民謠,音譯,就是「花渡」。十八世紀,航海業興盛,水手上了船,多半不知道目的地。他們漂泊無定,歸家無期,唯有靠「Fado」舒解愁懷,寄託鄉思。「『Fado』拉丁文原義,就是『命運』(Fate)。唱這歌的人,都在找岸……

     

    作者鍾偉民說,花渡寫的是苦,書中的各種悔恨、愛欲、不捨,到最後還是不夠一個“苦”字貼切,

    看完之後,苦澀凝結在喉頭,吐不出嚥不下,

    像一滴苦水滴到舌頭上,然後發散到四肢

     

    故事從男主角池尾生的二十八歲開始,

    寫他和好朋友姚溟、姚溟的妻子趙小瀾多年的感情糾葛,

    還有無端出現的便宜女兒小鰜,小鰜的母親若鰈,

    每個人的愛恨,織成一張不能解的網

     

    除了故事吸引,內容的結構也很嚴謹,

    作者有誠意,有心思,用了5年完成,沒有一點多餘的枝節,

    文字非常精練,是現在很少見的誠意之作

     

    再說角色,書中的人,每一個都很苦,而且每一個都讓人難過,

    最喜歡的是小鰜,一個惹人憐愛的女孩子,

    還有湖姬,在眾多的苦人當中,她能找到自己的天地,活得快樂

     

    最後,得順帶介紹一下作家鍾偉民,

    他是我最喜歡的作家,年少時偶然看到他的<四十四次日落>

    當時覺得很喜歡,不過要到很後期才知道是他的作品,

    這個故事是接續有名的<小王子>,說玫瑰來到地球找她的小王子

     

    後來留意到鍾偉民是看蘋果日報的副刊,

    因為他罵人夠狠夠準,說話都一針見血,

    慢慢查證之後,才發覺當年喜歡的小說原來就是他寫的

    他另一部比較為人熟悉的作品,是搬到了舞台上的<雪狼湖>

     

    除了小說,他的散文也非常精彩,

    一本<如何訓練你的男朋友>,可以說是所有女性的恩物吧XD

    另外還有他家的聾貓大白燦的故事,結集成<我是大白燦>

    令他家的貓聲名大噪,幾乎所有讀者去找他都要看聾貓XD

     

    5月他會出版另一部作品,叫<狼八式>

    是教人如何寫好小說,從思考到技法都有詳細而有趣的解釋,

    而且還列有大量的例子,

    不過在此奉告一句,如果是某<委屈>一文或<紀念冊>一書作者的忠實fans

    我就勸你不要看了,因為裡面批評他們的文章批得很辛辣,

    一點不留情面(雖然我覺得他批的很有理)

    這本書大部分內容已經上網(是因為作者痛罵書商的事,這又是另一故事了)

    各位可以到下面的網址看http://itniccom.s806.com/frog/?/aboutauthor/essay/1

  • Blue Canary

    這首歌是我在Snowshow中聽到一首很喜歡的歌,
    在表演中是由三個小丑""出來的
    ,
    音樂很特別,於是幾經辛苦才找到這首歌
    ,
    還特地去找了歌詞

    Blue canary di ramo in ramo,
    Gorgheggi al vento il tuo richiamo.
    Blue canary attendi invano
    Che torni al nido chi ando lontano.

    Ogni fiore del mio giardino
    Sullo stelo si è chinato
    Ed ascolta intimidito
    La tua favola accorata.

    Sopra i rami del grande pino
    Da quel nido dimenticato
    S'ode a sera disperato
    Il richiamo a chi è partito.

    Blue canary che affidi al vento
    Le tristi note del tuo tormento,
    Blue canary nel bel tramonto
    Ti sento amico del mio rimpianto.

    Blue blue blue canary - pic, pic, pic - si perde l'eco.
    Se piangi o canti al tramontar - pic, pic - ripete il vento.

    這首歌是在50年代左右由Vincent Fiorino創作的,這裡的歌詞是意大利文,
    Canary
    是金絲雀,由於年代久遠,已經很難找回當時的歌詞
    ,
    奇怪的是這首歌在俄羅斯很多人喜歡,可是在意大利卻沒什麼人記得
    ,
    以致於現在的意大利人要翻譯這首歌時,都說這首歌的歌詞很奇怪
    ,
    像是Dante的神曲那樣的文式而完全不像現時的意大利語

    後來在另一個網站中看到,說原來是因為大家聽的都是Slava的版本,
    Slava請來唱歌的兩個歌手是保加利亞人,大概也沒能看著歌詞唱(已經找不到了
    ),
    所以音準有差之下就出現了上面的傳說了
    ,
    而網主幾經辛苦終於把歌詞查出來
    ,
    到底金絲雀是為了什麼變得這麼憂鬱的呢
    ?
    原來是因為以前的礦工會把金絲雀帶到礦洞內
    ,
    如果洞內有毒氣的話,金絲雀就會先死,礦工看到也就有時間逃回地面了

    以下是意大利文版的英文原譯
    其實還有英文版本的,不過聽上去就沒意大利文那麼好

    Blue canary, jumping from branch to branch,
    Your appealing trill is carried by wind.
    Blue canary is waiting in vain,
    That that who is gone will return to the nest.

    Any flower in my little garden
    Hangs its head
    And listens, intimidated,
    Your deeply wounding story.

    Over branches of the pine
    From that forgotten nest
    It is heard hopeless
    Recall to one who had gone.

    Blue canary, commiting to the wind
    Sad notes of your grief,
    Blue canary, against a background of a beautiful sunset
    I feel, that you are fellow in my sadness.

    Blue blue blue canary - tweet-tweet-tweet - echo is fading.
    Your sing or cry at sunset - tweet-tweet - the wind repeats

  • Sweeney Todd – 一群癡人的夢

    等了很久的Sweeney Todd,知道31日上畫,
    已經早幾天訂好票
    ,
    因為一個月前已經買了電影的OST,劇情基本上是全知道了
    ,
    現在入場算是補完全套

    下面會有大量的劇情透露,還想看的人就不要看下去啦

     

    故事之前已經介紹過了,這裡說說對每個角色的感想
    Judge Turpin,
    因為這個人可吐槽的地方比較多,
    雖然一早就聽過他唱的情歌,可是沒想到他比我想像中更有少女心
    rz
    這世上有種人,如果你被他喜歡上了會是災難,Judge Turpin就是這樣的人
    ,
    他愛Lucy成癡,Johanna成癡
    ,
    不惜要陷害Benjamin就是為了想得到
    Lucy,
    不得不說的是,他愛Lucy一開始並不是純粹為了佔有她
    ,
    他是天天很有心機的送花給她,可是Lucy是不為所動
    ,
    到後來的Johanna, Turpin竟然在門上開洞來偷窺她,這可就太變態了
    ,
    雖然到後來說要懲罰Johanna,可是也是不准別人沾手她的
    ,
    只是關在一家女子精神病院,聽到SweeneyJohanna要接受他
    ,
    就已經完全一副幸福的樣子,他是個一直在熱戀中的男子
    ,
    問題這段"熱戀"中由始至終都只有他一個人

    關於後來Lucy的遭遇,我認為Turpin是不知道的,
    他太愛這個人,要是他要知道的話,最有可能的做法是把Lucy關起來
    ,
    就像對Johanna一樣,除非他不再愛Lucy,否則他不可能由得Lucy變成這樣

    而在後來他愛上Johanna,多少也因為她像Lucy,
    所以Lucy的不幸,我想是Beadle下的手,因為怕被Turpin知道而由得Lucy流落街頭

    (插話:Alan還是得表演挑眉和唬小朋友XDDD)

     

    然後是Mrs Lovett, 這個女人也是愛Benjamin成癡,
    她喜歡Benjamin,進而就是討厭
    Lucy,
    當初Lucy出事她沒幫忙,明顯就是有意的
    ,
    她其實很聰明,從她認得Sweeney開始就計劃好怎麼騙他
    ,
    可惜的是Sweeney也是一個癡人,念念不忘找Turpin報仇
    ,
    她可以很大量的當個好媽媽照顧
    Johanna,
    只要Sweeney會跟她在一起
    ,
    她說得沒錯她一定是個比Lucy更更更稱職的妻子
    ,
    可是Sweeney愛的,永遠也只是Lucy一個

     

    Lucy,整個事件中最悲慘的角色,
    某演員說過,這套電影最特別的地方是,你不知道
    who is bad and who is badder,
    Lucy
    算是個一塵不染的人,她愛丈夫Benjamin,拒絕Turpin的追求
    ,
    最後落得這樣的下場實在很悲哀
    ,
    可是想深一層的話,我覺得她還是像現在好
    ,
    沒有失憶,對她而言真不知道是不是好事
    ,
    有趣的地方是,Meat pie事件中,只有她和Toby留意到奇怪的地方
    ,
    Toby
    是去Mrs Lovett那邊說Sweeney有問題
    ,
    而她是去警告Sweeney,說是失憶,也許不完全忘記了吧?

     

    Toby,整個事件中最無辜的人,
    原本是幫Pirelli做事,Pirelli已經是對他非常不好
    ,
    後來在Mrs Lovett那邊幫手,我真心認為Mrs Lovett是對他好的
    ,
    所以他才會說無論怎樣也要保護
    Mrs Lovett,
    我相信Mrs Lovett對他說”nothing’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around”時也是真心的
    ,
    他應該就是Mrs Lovett心中的
    soft spot
    大概這一段就是整套電影最接近的一段了

     

    Sweeney Todd,被命運作弄的可憐人,
    就算他殺了這麼多人,總也是讓人覺得怪他不得
    ,
    只是被復仇蒙住了雙眼,認不出來”do I know you sir”背後那張臉
    ,
    最後的結局我也覺得很圓滿,畢竟那兩個人死了
    ,
    而且也沒有鑄成更大的錯誤
    ,
    Sweeney
    也可以說是無憾了

     

    JohannaAnthony,因為當事者都死了,
    這對小情人也無從得知這一群人發生過什麼事
    ,
    我認為Johanna不知道自己父母的事比較好
    ,
    這樣她才可以去找以後的夢

     

    有一點不得不說是不滿意的是劇本的翻譯,
    我懷疑是直接由台版翻譯抄過來,一般廣東話翻譯也不會說他掛了
    ,
    尤其是歌曲”A little Priest”,因為原文非常抵死有趣
    ,
    我認為中文可以翻譯得更好笑的,可是看上去就像是為了趕製而草草翻過來
    ,
    很多好笑的地方都翻譯得不夠傳神
