• The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye - Roxette

    Red like fire was the day I met you
    I tell you now, there are no regrets
    In this room there are many memories
    Some are good, some I try to forget
    I thought we were the chosen ones
    who were supposed to fly

    We're very much the same, you and I
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    Still waiting to get hurt, time after time
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    When love lies in our hands, we seem to run and hide
    And I can't help but wonder why
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

    My heart was like a runaway train, babe
    I don't believe I've ever felt more alive
    In this room I hear voices linger
    We never talked about the price

    You know you're not the only one,
    Who know how to cry
    We're very much the same, you and I
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    Still waiting to get hurt, time after time
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide
    And I can't help but wonder why
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    Mmmmmm
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

    We're very much the same, you and I
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    Still waiting to get hurt, time after time
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide
    And I can't help but wonder why
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    Goodbye
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
    The sweet hello, the sad goodbye


  • Hands To Heaven - Breathe
    As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
    There's so much tenderness in your loving
    Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
    God give me strength when I am leaving...
    So raise your hands to heaven and pray
    That we'll be back together someday
    Tonight, I need your sweet caress
    Hold me in the darkness
    Tonight, you calm my restlessness
    You relieve my sadness
    As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
    I whisper words of love, so softly
    I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
    Without your touch, life will be lonely
    So raise your hands to heaven and pray
    That we'll be back together someday
    Tonight, I need your sweet caress
    Hold me in the darkness
    Tonight, you calm my restlessness
    You relieve my sadness
    Morning has come, another day
    I must pack my bags and say goodbye...

    张雨生——爱做梦的孩子


    寄给岁月一个盒子
    装满我每一段过去式
    打开记忆 看见多彩多姿
    我最爱的年少无知

    经过这些日子 多了点心事
    也多了一点坚持
    情愿我一辈子
    不要太懂事
    永远像一张白纸

    别笑爱做梦的孩子
    为快乐保留一个位置
    别笑爱做梦的孩子
    害怕忘记自己原来的样子

     

    突然很想念他们的声音,张雨生,无印良品,任贤齐,张学友,周华健,backstreet boys,Celine Dion……这些陪我度过14,5岁时光的声音。

    想念我的卡带,想念我的walkman,想念那个时候一个人在家听的电台音乐,想念那些翻录了一遍又一遍的歌。我总是很冲动的跑向学校对面的音像店,朋友们也总是很兴奋的分享自己喜欢的音乐,我们总能在任何时候大声唱歌,而不是只有在KTV。

    那个时候很简单,我们傻傻的站在明了与糊涂的懵懂线上。我们永远都在神往明天,从不介意明天很快就会揭晓答案。我们任性,快乐,桀骜不驯,因为有梦有希望。

    但是现在,那些梦已然是我不再了解的乐园。

     

    咳,谨此中秋,纪念我那段青涩的梦一样的时光吧。也祝愿那些仍然爱做梦的和不再做梦的大人们中秋快乐:)

  • The Pecan Tree - [深耳乐绵]

    2008-09-07,20:48,by 草垛

    最初的味道就像挂在云端的草莓,再也够不到。即便所有的草莓都一样的红,一样的甜。但那股夹杂着惊喜,冲动和幻想的最初的味道永远找不回来。

    这是第一张我听过最有感觉的smooth jazz专辑,叫胡桃树。是在2002年冬天。

    第一首曲子就是这首《the pecan tree》。正是这首曲子为我找到了最契合的音乐当口。我当时欣喜的发现,这是一首非常别致却正合我意的曲子。

    我并没有频繁的让它冲击我的耳朵,最好的东西要在你想念它时才更有价值。音乐是柔软且脆弱的东西,禁不住汹涌的爱慕。再好听的曲子,听多了也变成了俗不可耐的廉价品。

    而真正抵挡得了这种规律的音乐才是你永恒的伴侣。每次在相隔了很长时间之后再听这些音乐,我都仍旧可以沉浸其中。这亦如同我在最爱的乐队Roxette里总能找到不同的惊喜一样。因为这些音乐里不光只是音符,还有回忆。

    而《the pecan tree》就是这样一种。

  • Once in Every Life - [深耳乐绵]

    2008-07-20,13:28,by 草垛

     

    Once in every life
    love should leave you without a choice
    Where the only thing right
    is to follow that still small voice
    Once in every day
    it should take your breath away
    Once upon a time
    should happen once in every life

    Once you give it your heart
    without holding back your soul
    You can dance in the dark
    cause you’re never there alone
    Once in every hour
    you should feel that healing power
    Once upon a time
    should happen once in every life

    Once it’s stronger than you
    There’s nothin’ else you can do
    You stop asking why, just let yourself fly

    Once in every life
    love should feel so good you cry
    And your only release
    is releasing three small words
    Once you hear them out loud
    you feel heaven coming down
    Once upon a time
    should happen once in every life

    Once upon a time
    should happen once in every life

          专辑简介,介绍得很好。

          MONICA竖琴美人:风从海里来
      梦的呢喃,竖琴清音由28岁的智利知名竖琴演奏家Monica Ramos(莫尼卡·拉莫斯)出演,风靡世界的竖琴美人,以优雅的旋律、现代的节奏、独特个性化的竖琴流行曲,演绎着一首首浪漫的情调。莫尼卡对竖琴演奏的独特处理方式及耳目一新的乐声,赢得了乐评家以及听众的称誉和赞叹。
      《风从海里来》均成为欧洲各电台中经常播放金曲,该专辑的演奏风格为传统古典音乐的模式,同时又尝试用电子合成器将古典音乐变奏曲融入TRIP Hop及各种特殊音效中,成功地将传统音乐与一系列自然声音相结合,并配以唱诗班的空灵和声,带人们进入一个神秘而又浪漫的音乐世界。这里没有浮华,没有喧嚣,更没有年龄、种族、性别和宗教信仰的差别,一切都是至情至兴,至真至纯的。
      智利出生的Monica Ramos,是一位具有创新意识的古典竖琴演奏家。她决心跨越人们对竖琴的旧有印象,而将竖琴带入流行音乐的领域。有人称她的音乐为一种突破性的实验音乐,它是以古典音乐元素,混合了多样化的现代化元素,而构成一座新浪漫古典音乐的石堡。她的音乐传达出一份天生自然而美丽的气质。这就是为什么 Monica Ramos能成为瑞典最突出,最勇于尝试的竖琴演奏家的原因。
      和MONICA的其他几张专辑相比,这张专辑中更显得轻柔和恬静,特别是第二首:CAVATINA,是The Deer Hunter(越战猎鹿人)的主题曲,MONICA将此曲演绎得轻柔有味,仿佛漫步群山间,鹿影一掠而过,惊鸿一瞥,让人回味无穷...
    ———————————————————————————— 

          前几天,我在主页上放了一首Little Evelina,有两个朋友索求了这首歌,现在把整张专辑介绍给大家。这是一张Newage风格的专辑,专辑的演奏者是28岁的智利知名竖琴演奏家Monica Ramos。当你听到竖琴,会想到什么?没错,希腊的白,淡蓝的海,阳光,波浪的声音。你会愿意花上这样一段时间在严寒的冬日听一听温暖的海吗。嘿,多么好的尝试,why not have a try。
          整张专辑的基调,清新淡然,如果你静静听,或许还会有一些柔软的物质飘进你浮躁的世界。现在我关掉SKY.FM 70‘s,重新听专辑写下去。
          这是很多年前偶然听到的一张专辑,很多次当我需要将文字摊开来写一些什么的时候,我会听这些曲子,现在你知道,我的很多灵感不仅仅来自于一时迸发,还有很大一部分来自于音乐。而首选,常常是这张竖琴专辑。
          我曾一度迷恋沉醉在love walz的轻弹撩拨之间。就如同第一次听Julie London的As Time Goes by。说不上是忧伤还是留恋。总有一些莫名的沉浸,很想找到一个出口来积攒无处搁置的情感。然后,文字就出现了。
          Cavatina是一首适合回忆的曲子,非常美,215121,215121,曲子中重复着这样的音节,起伏舒缓,竖琴的独特音色,加上背景的浪漫配合,一首几近完美的地中海式的柏拉图之恋。我在写《那个夏天》的时候完全依靠这首曲子带给我细致的回忆片段,你不能否认音乐是多么奇妙的东西,她能带给你旅行一样遥远的快感,以及此时此刻此地此景的触动。
          如果你愿意在安静的浸满阳光的午后,边喝茶边听这张专辑,不需要小资,不需要氛围,只要你用心聆听就可以得到内心的安宁
         
  • Queen Of Rain - [深耳乐绵]

    2007-12-17,15:39,by 草垛

     I just cannot help loving Roxette.
                      Queen Of Rain-Roxette

                                          In that big big house
                                    there are fifty doors
                                    and one of them
                                    leads to your heart.
                                    In the time of spring
                                    I passed your gate
                                    and tried to make a start.
                                    All I knew was the scent of sea
                                    and dew but I've been
                                    in love before, how about you?
                                    There's a time for the good
                                    in life, a time to kill
                                    the pain in life, dream
                                    about the sun you queen of rain.


                                    In that big old house
                                    there are fifty beds
                                    and one of them leads to your soul.
                                    It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats,
                                    regrets and sheets so cold.
                                    All I knew your eyes so velvet blue,
                                    I've been in love before, how about you?

                                    There's a time for the good in life...
                                    It's time to place your bets in life,
                                    I've played the loser's game of life,
                                    dream about the sun you queen of rain.
                                    Time went by as I wrote
                                    your name in the sky,
                                    fly fly away, bye bye.

  • 老狼 - 月光倾城 - [深耳乐绵]

    2007-10-17,15:27,by 草垛



    词/曲:高小松

    月光下的,城城下的,灯下的人,在等
    人群里的,风风里的,歌里的,岁月声
    谁不知不觉叹息,叹那不知不觉年纪
    谁还倾听一叶知秋的美丽
    早晨你来过,留下过,弥漫过,樱花香
    窗被打开过,门开过,人问我怎么说
    你曾唱一样月光
    曾陪我为落叶悲伤
    曾在落满雪的窗前画我的模样
    那些飘满雪的冬天
    那个不带伞的少年
    那句被门挡住的誓言
    那串被雪覆盖的再见

    ...
