[Guitar] Build Me Up Buttercup

2008-09-23T22:17:00.003+02:00

Jason Mraz covered this song last night at Heineken Hall. It was so brilliant that I digged it up immediately after the show. The original is just even better, craftly done.

Play: G

G - B7 - C - Dsus7 (X5X553) (repeat twice)
Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down, and mess me around.
And then worst of all, you never call, baby,
When you say you will, but I love you still
G - G7 - C - Cm
I need you, more than anyone darling,
You know that I have from the start.
G - D - (fillin C-G-Am-G, end with D)
So build me up, Buttercup, don't break my heart.

G - D - C
I'll be over at ten you told me time and again,
G - C
But you're late, I wait around and then,
G - D - F - C
I run to the door I can't take anymore,
G - C (fillin C- Em/B)
It's not you, you let me down again.

Am7 - D (fillin D - C)
(Hey, hey, hey) Baby, baby, try to find.
Bm - E (fillin E- D?)
(Hey, hey, hey) A little time and I'll make you mine.
Am - A
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone,
D7sus4
Waiting for you.

Verse 2
You are me toy but I could be th boy you adore,
If you just let me know.
Until you do I'm attracted to you all the more,
Why do I need you so.
(REPEAT LAST FOUR LINES OF VERSE 1)

G - D - E
So build me up, Buttercup, don't break my heart.
to A key
A - A7 - D - Dm
I need you, more than anyone darling,
You know that I have from the start.
G - D - (fillin D-#Cm-Bm-A, end with E)
So build me up, Buttercup, don't break my heart.

A Great Cover Version (watch for the chord, his D7sus is better than my interpretation :( ):
(My transcription is mostly based on this interpretation.)

[Chord] Jason Mraz - Bella Luna

2008-09-19T02:07:00.003+02:00

不知道為什麼找不到稍微正確一點的譜, 只好自己抓下來了. Jason Mraz的東西唱起來總是比彈起來難很多, 英文唱到最後都要打結了...

Intro:
Am (5775XX) - (Em) x 2
Am (5775XX) - Dm/B (7X776X) - Esus4 (X79710X) - Am

Am
Mystery the moon
Dm/B
A hole in the sky
Dm/B
A supernatural night light
Am
So full but often right
Dm
A pair of eyes a closing one
Am
A chosen child in golden sun
Dm/B
A marble dog that chases cars

... Dsus/B?? (7XX755) E7(X7979X)
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

間奏 fillin bass notes
Am - Dm/B - F7 - E7 - fillin bass notes
Am - Dm/B - F7 - E7

Am
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
Dm/B
They're giving birth to constellations
Dm/B
No riffs and oh no reservation
Am
If they should fall you get a wish or dedication
Dm
May I suggest you get the best
Am
For nothing less than you and I
Dm/B --- E7 (before)
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
Dm - G
Oh bella bella please
C - F
Bella you beautiful luna
Dm - E7
Oh bella do what you do
Do do do do do

back to 間奏
fillin bass notes
Am - Dm/B - F7 - E7 - fillin bass notes
Am - Dm/B - F7 - E7

Repeat to the end...

You are an illuminating anchor
Of leagues to infinite number
Of crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger, of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring ya
Is the language of a lover
Bella luna, my beautiful beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I
A larger chance yet, but all them may lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do what you do
Bella luna
My beautiful beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

Just the way you are

在吉他板上看到有人介紹這位吉他手，才在 youtube 上找到他 (youtube還真是好用). 它的編曲還真是不錯, 有人問說有沒有譜, 我覺得這個應該是不需要譜的, 它的指版都照的一清二楚, 而且我相信他的style, 應該只是記得和弦組成, 第幾把位, 會用到哪些裝飾音, 剩下的都是直覺.(他有幾種修飾的pattern, 最常用的應該是把樂句的音擠在小節的前面先出來, 後面是自己加的裝飾音; 另外使用古典吉他也適合他的style, 因為他並不需要一直延音下去, 一般編曲會用延音拖過去, 他則是用綿綿不斷的裝飾音帶過了延音的需求) 所以我覺得比較 efficient 的作法應該是寫出和弦譜, 然後把幾個慣用的語句抓起來, 弄一個像網路上教 John Mayer 的東西的教學比較實際.

其實他的演奏也不是完美無缺, 很多重音的處理以及右手的觸弦都略嫌粗糙了些, 只是這部份的瑕疵也帶給人聽覺上不同的刺激. 這個style其實不難模仿，只要對指板熟悉一些, 配上一本real book, 應該就行了. 而且個人意見覺得學起來大概就是去bar表演的命吧.(雖說對我好像值得一試...) 我比較想抓的應該是他的這首 "Lately", 下週有空抓起來再丟上來了.

P.S. 說這麼多不是在說他彈的不好, 相反的其實他彈奏的神情跟他的右手讓我想起了葉老師...

[Music] Nada Surf - If You Leave (Guitar Tab)

2008-09-06T00:35:00.003+02:00

這裡有tab, 不過我還是做一點小小的修正好了.

The chord is available here, but I will make some minor corrections.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/n/nada_surf/if_you_leave_crd.htm

Intro:
F Dm Bb C (repeat 2x)
D G A G A (repeat 2x)

Verse:
F Dm Bb C
F Dm Am B C
F Dm Bb C 2x

Chorus:
D G A G
D G A G D

Verse 2:
Same as Verse one, but move to G key

Chorus:
Move to E key

Solo:
C - Am - Dm - Bb
C - Am - F - G

Chorus:
back to D major

in the end

G
some day...

G - Em - C - D x4
If you leave

after the second "Don't look back"
Em - C - D - C x2

ends with Em

If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends, someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again, someday

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave
If you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back

[Music] Nada Surf - Beautiful Beat (Guitar Tab)

2008-09-04T22:45:00.004+02:00

會知道這首歌完全是因為 How I Met Your Mother 的關係, 在第三季倒數的 "No tomorrow" 這集最後 Marshall 訓斥 Ted "Why do we need another Barney?" 之後, Ted 回去bar裡面找雨傘的這段音樂. 今天在整理硬碟的時候又翻到這集看了一次, 就把這首歌抓出來了, 其實也很簡單.

Capo: 2
(Play E)

Intro chords:
XXX807 - XXX605 - XXX100 (XXX200 - XXX400)

After that it's B - A9 - E - Esus4(or A9)
Power chords in verses, and top on E for the chorus
Bridge works a bit differently, it's B - A9 - E - B

Verse 1
Leave me alone, and there'll be
No one to get hurt
Nobody move and there'll be
Nothin' to disturb
The sum of it all is that you
Don't know where to turn
Despite all your promises you
Don't keep what you learn

Chorus
Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress

Verse 2
Sometimes all I want is another
Drink or another pill
If i could get anything done
Maybe I'd hold still
I'm trying to levitate I'm
Trying to leave the ground
Tryin' to remember when i could
Fix anything with sound

Chorus
Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress

Bridge
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I want to redirect myself with you
Do you understand?

Chorus

Bridge
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I gotta reinvent myself for you
Can i be your man?
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I wanna redirect myself with you
'Cause you understand

Chorus

Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress

[Music] Anyone else but you

2008-08-26T11:45:00.002+02:00

其實一開始看到 Juno 電影結尾的這首曲子的時候, 心裡並沒有太特別的感覺, 只是覺得這兩個人還滿可愛的(尤其是 Juno !!)而已. 但昨天在youtube上晃來晃去的時候又看到了這首歌, 原唱真是太可愛啦! (雖然 Juno 亂刷一通也是很可愛的)

Juno亂刷一通. 其實 Michael 應該要打屁股才對, 他才是罪魁禍首.

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you

[Music] Ghost of a Shark - Tom McRae

2008-08-20T00:15:00.002+02:00

The arrangement is really easy. (But there seemed to be an accurate tab on line??) I use drop D tuning in my arrangement. Guitar-Pro tab will be uploaded later.

Im gonna leave any minute
See the skyline disappear
Head out of the city
Burn my clothes bury my fears

Oh you will never know I was here

Tell me now is there difference
Between a shark and the ghost of a shark
cause all I have are secrets and memories of the dark
Oh rip away the skin burn my heart

Im gonna leave any minute
Another skyline disappears
Sunlight in the mirror
Blinding me all these years
Oh am I coming back
Ill never leave
Oh am I coming back
Ill never leave

這個影片有點ㄟ, 不過跟曲子滿搭的上的.

(不過看他現場好像又有出入, anyway, 聽起來一樣就好)

Another great piece in A Lot Like Love.

The tab is more or less accurately done.

Things like these "D->D/#F, F->D/#F"can be corrected.

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Play: A

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

Life is bigger than it used to be
Oh, love is growing up you know,
There's another world to see out there
Oh, love is growing up

Because of you I can believe
We gave each other what we truly need

I have you and you have him and he has her
and really that's the way it should be
Just like clovers in the field mix with the weeds and flowers
The pain and peace collectively

Found and lost so many dreams then some we still believe in
others we let walk away
Roads will swallow and divide us just think of each other
together, moving separately
Alone is just a feeling

G D C G D C G D C G

Such a great and "different" song. The theme song of the movie "A Lot Like Love." (Love it!)

(in a somehow related video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJJBE3utmPE)

The transcription here is accurate, so there's no need to reproduce the chords there.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/a/aqualung/brighter_than_sunshine_crd.htm

Except that I will play the D-A-E-B in the beginning like this:

D: XX0232

E: XX2454
B: X24442

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didn't believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

I got a feeling in my soul...

我想了很久　我開始慌了
是不是我又做錯了甚麼

你哭著對我說　童話裏都是騙人的
我不可能是你的王子
也許你不會懂　從你說愛我以後
我的天空星星都亮了

我願變成　童話裏　你愛的那個天使
張開雙手變成翅膀守護你
你要相信　相信我們會像童話故事裏
幸福和快樂是結局

[Music] 離開是為了回來

2007-06-10T20:52:00.000+02:00

離開，是為了回來
曲/詞:林一峰編:Edward chan

明天就要飛了
朋友都輕鬆對我說一路順風
留下來是選擇離開不代表就能放開一切
若愛上一個人決定一起走
半路才發覺心還有點野
看不到終點起點卻已太遠

人進進出出在生命裡
季節改變天地改變歲月流過
還是放不下遺憾就嘗試學習感激曾經擁有
要放棄一個人決定自己走
半路才發覺捨不得放手
忙著讓傷口快點風乾沿途風景沒心情欣賞
內心格外脆弱還要裝作堅強

結束又是為了重新開始乾杯又是為了再添一次
顛簸旅途為了記憶燦爛偶爾下雨為了溫暖陽光
回憶甜蜜因為快樂短暫快樂短暫為了痛哭一場
告別為了怕太專心去愛最後忘了世間的色彩
離開是為了回來

從機艙回望機場我留下你 XXXX 一刻千里
城市跟天空一樣闊大朋友和敵人全都一概容納
曾遇上幾個他為幸福努力
心情跟步伐總會有偏差
離別再上路多遠都不怕*

結束有時為了重新開始乾杯有是為了再添一次
顛簸旅途為了記憶燦爛偶爾下雨為了溫暖陽光
遇上難題為了尋找答案終於解脫決定痛哭一場
告別為了怕太專心去愛最後忘記世間的色彩
離開是為了回來

明天就要飛了朋友都輕鬆對我說一路順風

世界末日

詞曲：周杰倫

G Em7
想笑　來偽裝掉下的眼淚
Am7 Am7/D
點點頭　承認自己會怕黑
Bm Esus4 E
我只求　能借一點的時間來陪
Am7 Am7/D
你卻連同情都不給

想哭　來試探自己麻痺了沒
全世界　好像只有我疲憊
無所謂　反正難過就敷衍走一回　
Am7 Am7/D G
但願絕望和無奈遠走高飛

G B7 Em Bm
天灰灰　會不會　讓我忘了你是誰
C Em/B Am7 Am7/D
夜越黑　夢違背　難追難回味
Em Em/D# Em/D Edim Am7 Am7/D
我的世界將被摧毀　也許事與願違

累不累　睡不睡　單影無人相依偎
夜越黑　夢違背　有誰肯安慰
我的世界將被摧毀　或許頹廢也是一種美
天灰灰　會不會　讓我入睡
夜越黑　夢違背　有誰安慰

[Music] That's What Friends Are For

2007-05-20T14:13:00.000+02:00

That's What Friends Are For

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

[Music] Miss Saigon - Last Night of the World

2007-03-24T13:50:00.000+01:00

In a place that won't let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you
In a world that's moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you

Our lives will change when tomorrow comes
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
and we have music all right
tearing the night

A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world

On the other side of the earth
There's a place where life still has worth
I will take you
I'll go with you
You won't believe all the things you'll see
I know 'cause you'll see them all with me

If we're together that's when
we'll hear it again

A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world

Dreams
they were all I ever knew
Dreams
you won't need when I'm through
Anywhere
we may be
I will sing with you
a song...

So stay with me
and hold me tight
and dance
like it's the last night of the world

[Music] Cherish

2007-02-26T00:35:00.000+01:00

"Cherish"/ Brian McKnight

Thinkin' back in time
Someone said that love was blind
But they were wrong
You just choose not to see me

When it's right before your eyes
You'd rather compromise
Then give your all
Then it don't turn out
The way it's supposed to be

Time and time again you disapoint when she believes
Just do your best and give her what she needs

[Chorus]
And Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone

Cherish her love

It might be hard to conceive
You gotta see the forest despite the trees
Before it all burns down

Not tellin' ya nothing you don't know
But she'll let you have your fun
But when a woman's done when she's done
And then she'll go
Just when you're needin' her the most

Time and time again you disappoint
When she believes (oh yeah)
Do all you can
To give her what she needs

[Chorus]
And Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone

Cherish her love

And if you care about the weather
Keep her safe and warm
Let nothing in between stand in your way
They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm
Together come whatever
Come what may

[Chorus]
Just Cherish her love...

還不確定你是否也喜歡氣球
路邊常常在發的那種

我和你約好養隻粘人的小貓
和一隻大的溫柔的狗狗

如果受了傷就喊一聲痛
真的說出來就不會太難過
不去想自由
反而更輕鬆
願意感動孤單不忐忑

生活生活會快樂也會寂寞
生活生活明天我們好好的過

還不確定你是否也喜歡氣球
反正又還沒聽你說過

我們都覺得成功沒那麼嚴重
做自己反而比較心安理得

如果受了傷就喊一聲痛
真的說出來就不會太難過
不去想自由
反而更輕鬆
願意感動就是種享受

生活生活會快樂也會寂寞
生活生活明天我們好好的過

明天我們好好的過

我幻想有這麼一天不用說再見
就共度從白天到黑夜
在清晨陽光之中醒來轉過身看見你的笑臉
在午後沖杯咖啡肩並肩看書談天在浪漫寧靜夜裡擁著你入眠

I wanna say
Good morning,Good afternoon & Good night my baby
就這樣過一整天兩人的世界
Good morning,Good afternoon & Good night my baby
這一天我和你擁有全世界的時間

讓我們相約在某一天把夢想實現
用一天來體會永遠
在清晨陽光之中醒來轉過身看見你的笑臉
在午後沖杯咖啡肩並肩看書談天在浪漫寧靜夜裡擁著你入眠
I wanna say
Good morning,Good afternoon & Good night my baby
就這樣過一整天兩人的世界
Good morning,Good afternoon & Good night my baby

互相擁有的感覺屬於彼此的感覺
迫不及待想要實現 I really wanna say...

小情歌
作詞：吳青峰　作曲：吳青峰　編曲：蘇打綠

這是一首簡單的小情歌　唱著人們心腸的曲折
我想我很快樂　當有你的溫熱　腳邊的空氣轉了

這是一首簡單的小情歌　唱著我們心頭的白鴿
我想我很適合　當一個歌頌者　青春在風中飄著
你知道　就算大雨讓這座城市顛倒　我會給你懷抱
受不了　看見你背影來到　寫下我　度秒如年難捱的離騷
就算整個世界被寂寞綁票　我也不會奔跑
逃不了　最後誰也都蒼老　寫下我　時間和琴聲交錯的城堡

等了好久好久終於等到它了。

How I love this song. How I love this song.

2006-09-10T20:51:00.000+02:00

快三個月沒文章 XDD

詞/曲: 姚小民 by 旺福

天氣好的晚上把一些小事拿出來牽掛
大的事情放他一晚上的假

不一樣的晚上有許多同樣無聊的幻想
雖然無聊卻是很重要的啊

不知不覺總是會讓我想到你啊
那些一起看著星星的夜晚

有星星的晚上吹著風夜半涼那傷心的事千萬別留下
頭頂上的月亮他照著我們倆雖然我們在不同的方向
有星星的晚上讓我想到你呀曾經讓我感動的那句話
你說每顆星星都有個伴再遠也不孤單
就像我們永遠在一起一樣

這首歌讓我對旺福的印象改變不少。

一聽之下沒有太喜歡，覺得旋律有一點點太兒歌，編曲也不夠漂亮，雖然歌詞給我和之前聽到的旺福很不一樣的感覺，還是有一點點怪怪的。

尤其是越聽越覺得旺福有一點點Frente台灣版的感覺，但我非常喜歡Frente，為什麼會覺得旺福沒什麼阿... @@

好像真的是唱腔的問題(主唱好像有點太flat了...)，但這首歌實在太可愛了啦，聽了心情就會一起好起來，Ohya!

謝謝Philippa的推薦哩! :P
(好像我最近在聽的東西都是靠你的推薦，謝謝哩~~ XDD)

[Musical] Les Miserables 悲慘世界

2006-06-10T02:00:00.000+02:00

在倫敦的第一天因為天氣不好，就打定了主意晚上一定要去看場音樂劇，依照計畫中的路線，在theater district裡一間一間的找是否有學生票的折扣的演出，從Mamma Mia，Phantom of the Opera，Les Miserables，到Avenue Q，有些是學生票還是對我這個窮人而言還是太貴，有些是根本沒有學生票，Avenue Q則是第一天試演，票賣完了。所以只好到我當時並沒有很想看，因為覺得自己沒看過故事一定會聽不懂的Les Miserables(悲慘世界)。

為了省錢，買了最便宜的12.5磅，"確定會被擋住"的obstructive view ticket，結果坐到座位上就後悔了。因為我的座位在最角落，而且一定要頭伸出去外面才能勉強的看到2/3的舞台。但也沒辦法，就要開演了，旁邊也有坐人，只能稍微往內移一個位置稍微好過一點(其實也只是從2/3的舞台變成2.1/3的舞台而已)。

但看完之後，我非常慶幸我最後選了悲慘世界，真的太震撼了，才知道小開同學為什麼這麼熱愛這部音樂劇--即使第一次看的時候也看不太懂。

悲慘世界真的悲慘嗎? 好像是，但也許不是。我看到了許多勇敢的靈魂，看到劇中的人物，我不會去想這也許不是時代壓迫下的美，因為其實把這些人放在和平的時代，我想他們也會是活靈活現的希望能抓住些什麼，為了自己的理想而奮鬥著的可愛的人吧。

整齣劇的音樂曲風多變而且非常精彩，下面這幾段是我印象最深，而且網路上找的到的橋段。"Finale"是結局時，幾首主題的組曲，有"Bring him home"，和"Do you hear the people sing"。"I dreamed a dream"則是Fantine在因有私生女而被解雇之後，對現實的殘酷所抒發的感慨。

而讓我這幾天一看再看的，還是這段在悲慘世界十週年紀念演唱會上的"A Little Fall of Rain"的詮釋。在這次倫敦的劇裡，Marius其實給我的感覺不是很好，表情有一點做作，唱功也沒有飾演Valjean的那位演員來的突出(當然我知道主角一定得要非常突出才行，但那位演員會讓我有眼睛一亮的感覺)。但這段影片裡的Marius，很稱職的扮演了配角的角色，Eponine唱的一級棒，最後那段兩人歌聲交錯，Eponine漸漸沒入Marius的胸膛裡，Marius慢慢吐出最後一個字"grow"的眼神，都是完美到不能更好了。

When someone doesn't love you back, it isn't such a crime. ~Avenue Q~

Even if it is indeed a crime, this could be one of the most beautiful crimes ever in this world.

[Musical] Les Miserables - A Little Fall of Rain

2006-06-08T01:28:00.000+02:00

EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

[Musical] Les Miserables - I dreamed a dream

2006-06-07T01:30:00.000+02:00

[FANTINE]
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

[Musical] Les Miserables - Finale

2006-06-07T00:45:00.000+02:00

VALJEAN
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

---

VALJEAN (to COSETTE)
Now you are here
Again beside me
Anow I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed...

COSETTE
You will live, Papa, you're going to live
It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!

VALJEAN
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die
I'll obey
I will try.
On this page
I write my last confession
Read it well

When I, at last, am sleeping
It's a story
Of those who always loved you
Your mother gave her life for you
Then gave you to my keeping.

FANTINE
Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
All your grief
At last, at last behind you
Lord in Heaven
Look down on him in mercy.

VALJEAN
Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to your glory.

VALJEAN, FANTINE, EPONINE
Take my hand
And lead me to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting
And remember
The truth that once was spokenm
To love another person
Is to see the face of God.

CHORUS
Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord.
They will walk behind the plough-share,
They will put away the sword.
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward.

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes...
Tomorrow comes!

[Music] 品冠

2006-05-26T12:48:00.000+02:00

最近一直沒有什麼新歌可以來推薦一下，原因是我這陣子一直都在聽芭樂歌。:$ 一下子南拳媽媽，一下子又是五月天，還有什麼 Michael Learns to Rock 的，要不然就是一直舊歌無限迴圈，沒有發現什麼更值得推薦的東西。

這陣子最常聽的應該是品冠的東西了吧，我一直都不太喜歡自己的聲音像品冠，我明明以前就是在學林志炫阿，怎麼學到最後變成品冠去了。我還寧願像黃大緯一點，聽起來比較man。不過最近不知道也許漸漸接受了這個事實，好像我的個性本來就品冠品冠的，唱歌像品冠，好像反而應該一點意外也沒有。

像品冠也沒什麼不好，個性溫溫的，不管在什麼時候總是能給自己和其他人一股溫暖的力量。雖然有道是小時候比較中性的男生長大會比較受歡迎，我還是感覺不出來。只是希望自己不要偶爾還有一點噁心就好。

我知道這樣的表現方式稱不上什麼多高級的藝術，連掛藝術這個名字我都會覺得有些慚愧，但這就是我。

I like the way I am now.

我最喜歡的品冠作品:

起床
詞:王裕宗/曲：品冠

走在異鄉陌生的夜裡　一個人淋著孤獨的細雨
沒有妳的城市　這特別冷的冬季
抱著思念沉沉的睡去　隔天醒來第一件事情
就是好好想妳　在心裡寫信給妳

我曾經多麼幸運　天天有妳　抱著妳　輕輕說我愛妳
靜靜聽妳　輕柔呼吸　離我好近好近
多希望明天睡醒　身邊有妳　依舊留在我的懷抱裡
不曾離去　是我作了夢而已

妳沒有離去　是我作了夢而已

我找你找了好久
詞: 姚若龍　曲: 品冠

可以彼此分享得意驕傲　不擔憂誰的心裡不是味道
可以傳染給你心情不好　連說一個理由都不需要

可以直來直往提醒勸告　就算爭吵也都是為對方好
可以和你商量秘密苦惱　不害怕全世界都會知道

我找你找了好久　一個互相了解的朋友
生活有人分享的時候　快樂就變得容易許多

我找你找了好久　一個拿心來換的朋友
傷痛有人抱緊的時候　未來有什麼路不敢走

於鷹巢(Kehlstein Haus)，德國南部。

我想看過02年亞錦賽的人應該很難忘記這一首歌吧。:P記得那時候打到九局還落後，本來想回去上課了，後來堅持在圖書館繼續看下去，就看到了這輩子最讓我感動的比賽之一，而且很特別的是，還有很多很多人在一起看。:D

我學會飛翔
作詞：張雨生　作曲：陳志遠

我在噩夢裡驚醒
又在悸動裡睡去
這一夜我依稀想起
那甜美而苦澀的回憶

不曾磨滅的血跡
洗浴全身的汗粒
用了最真摯的希冀
我終會更奮然而前行

朋友啊　你的激勵的言語
牢牢地貼近我心
愛人啊　你的等待的神情
比我的腳步還堅定

喔　我學會飛翔
飛向最高
飛過鷹族的訕笑
喔　我學會去愛
愛我的驕傲
那是座芬芳環繞的　虹橋

[Music] 一輩子就夠

2006-05-15T23:59:00.000+02:00

by 優客李林

當世界只有你我　才知道真愛是什麼
我們雙手緊緊握　再也不問誰對誰錯
你不見我悄然淚落　我已不在乎世俗做作
那一種聲音對你說　呼喚你的那就是我

別說是怎樣的錯　不怪你也不怪我
但如今我才想過　真的欠你太多
若一首歌能讓我　把愛你的心好好守候
不要太多　我想不用太多
只要一輩子就夠

第一次先有圖片才想到歌，看到自己拍的照片的當下就浮現了第一句歌詞: "當世界只有你我/才知道真愛是什麼/我們雙手緊緊握/再也不問誰對誰錯"。

在車潮不斷的河岸邊，全世界的聲音只剩下一種。
透過你的雙手，我知道你心裡每一個念頭。

我知道，這一刻，這世界只剩下你和我。

[Music] 旅行的意義

2006-05-02T00:06:00.000+02:00

陳綺貞旅行的意義

你看過了許多美景你看過了許多美麗
你迷失在地圖上每一道短暫的光陰
你品嘗了夜的巴黎你跑過下雪的北京
你熟記書本每一句你最愛的真理

你累積了許多飛行你用心挑選紀念品
你收集了地圖上每一次的風和日麗
你擁抱熱情的島嶼你埋葬記憶的土耳其
你留戀在電影裡每一段不真實的場景

卻說不出你愛我的原因卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你分心
說不出旅行的意義

卻說不出你愛我的原因卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼時候我曾讓你動心
說不出離開的原因

你勉強說出你為我寄出的每一封信都是你旅行的意義

我比較喜歡舊版的歌詞。陳綺貞在海洋音樂祭上說: "這首歌是要寫有時候想要旅行，但卻又沒辦法的那種心情。"但我總覺得這樣的形容不太貼切，我覺得更貼切的是，他把等待旅行的人的心情，寫的可愛而透明。

"對你而言旅行的意義，某種程度而言，就是對我而言旅行的意義。雖然你說不出欣賞我哪一種表情，但我希望你會寫在明信片裡。"

也許，陳綺貞真正想要說的其實是: "有時候想要一起去旅行，但卻又沒辦法"的那種心情吧。:P 很可愛的一首歌。

[Music] Maximilian Hecker (Continued)

2006-04-25T00:39:00.000+02:00

上次說要寫心得的，結果弄一弄就忘記了。So here I am now.

我覺得博客來的介紹已經寫得很吸引人了，不過我還是想多說一點。

Maximilian Hecker的音樂有一種很優雅的悲傷，就算是難過，也要難過的很有氣質。:P 聽起來很柔軟的聲音，但卻一點也不"娘"，是一種我會喜歡，但我也作不到的，很有美感的憂鬱。(本人唱歌一向都很救國團風Orz...) 平靜單純的聲音，規律的節奏與伴奏型態下，卻很巧妙的安排了起伏流動的旋律。歌曲的結構非常簡單，但借著這種前景後景的角色互換，有的時候，會有一種不知道誰才是主角的錯覺。這一秒聽到的是鋼琴站在我的面前，下一秒出現Maximilian的聲音，而接下來又發現鋼琴跑到前面了。

他的情感也就這樣單純的交錯著，也許混著今天午後咖啡館的陽光，也許夾著昨天信裡的眼淚。

To me, that's the real life. We are here, to smile, to yell, and to cry out loud.

今天聽到 "Everything Inside Me is Ill" 老毛病就又犯了，又狠很給他放了N次。晚上回家十二點沒有人的路上，聽著前奏有一種想要笑著掉著眼淚的衝動。沒有投射的對象，沒有半點理由，我想，真正美好的事物，就會讓人有這樣的感覺吧。

Everything Inside Me is Ill - Maximilian Hecker

I feel the sunlight's pouring rain
And I don't feel like I am sane
It keeps on running through my head
Oh, everything is ill
I'm hiding under thunderclouds
Neurosurgeon, help me out
I'm strung out falling to the ground
Oh, everything is ill
Lightning in your eyes
Sunlight in your hair
How I love you today
Hold me in your arms
It's endlessly insane
How I love you today
How I love you today

P.S. 特別感謝Phillipa的推薦囉!

作詞: 廖瑩如作曲: 郭文賢

就要離別勇敢的流淚而你的眼神超越了語言
不說再見我們卻了解分開了不代表會改變

誰需要誰白雲和藍天依偎才有美好的畫面
大風一吹離得並不遠下次見面以前都記得那感覺

芳草碧連天固執的季節
寒冬一過還有春天希望永不凋謝
芳草碧連天永遠的畫面
當我想念閉上雙眼你在(我)心裡面

離別以前已開始想念讓期待緊緊連結這一切走慢一點
不管有多遠放不下就代表不會變
誰需要誰白雲和藍天依偎才有美好的畫面
大風一吹離得並不遠下次見面以前都記得那感覺

芳草碧連天固執的季節
寒冬一過還有春天希望永不凋謝
芳草碧連天永遠的畫面
當我想念閉上雙眼你在(我)心裡面

我相信
作詞：黃國倫　作曲：黃國倫　編曲：Nathan Wang

他們說世界太寂寞　為愛付出一切　只換來眼淚
花兒開　花又謝　轉眼一場空
我承認留不住天真　但冷漠的人間　仍有溫暖的安慰
感動我　鼓勵我　珍惜我所有

我相信上帝的悲憫　母親的眼淚　孩子的眼睛
沉默的謙卑　勝過世界喧嚷的驕傲
我相信　真心
我相信愛情的堅貞　守約的可貴　寬恕的美麗
無悔的奉獻　點亮生命深藏的意義
喔~ 我相信　真愛常新

The Days Are Long And Filled With Pain
Maximilian Hecker [Infinite Love Songs]

介紹[Infinite Love Songs] From博客來

The days are long and filled with pain
We'll throw our lives away again
I've never seen in my whole life
My worst friend's sugar baby wife

Now my life is gone
Won't you try to hold me tight?
'Cause you'll be me and I'll be out
What will I find inside my head?

The sun is gone
But there's still light down inside my mind
There's still a lot for us to see in this life

Today you slipped into my head
I'm waiting for you inside my bed
There ain't no sense in feeling low
I need more when you ever have to go

Some might say that I walked through that door
All my dreams are made of stupid whores
Some might say that I fell from the sky
But I have got a pillow in my eye

The days are long and filled with pain
We'll throw our lives away again
I've never seen in my whole life
My worst friend's sugar baby wife

Now my life is gone
Won't you try to hold me tight?
'Cause you'll be me and I'll be out
What will I find inside my head?

The sun is gone
But there's still light down inside my mind
There's still a lot for us to see in this life

[Other] Swan Lake

2006-03-30T01:09:00.000+02:00

(Scene from Act III: The Queen and Prince Siegfried, From Wikipedia)

I am no expert in ballets. (I am not suggesting that I am one in movies, photography or music. But rather just a statement to point out my lack of knowledge in dancings.) But I think this is a beautiful and romantic event. :P

There are four acts in this show. The first act was quite nice. It provides the introduction to the main characters and also sets the stage for the entire show. The first act consists of several happy dancing in groups of people. And the guy besides the prince was a really good dancer.

The second act was where the prince met the princess by the lake. They fell in love at first sight (which I don't believe myself), and then they danced together merrifully.

And then comes the third act, which was the least enjoyable part for me. The first part of the third act was all about some weird spiritual dancing. Maybe it's my fault for not appreciating the beauty of the red-shirted guys jumping around. Oh well, I nearly fell into sleep in this act. After the weird stuffs, the prince mistakes the black swan(the bad guy's daughter) for Odette (the real swan princess) and commited his love to the wrong one.

He found that he made a mistake pretty soon. So in the fourth act he went out looking for Odette. From this point on, there are different versions for the ballet. So which version did I see? I will keep that as a secret for now. :P

There is one funny part in the fourth act though. (not that kind of funnism which gives you a good laugh though) The black swan and Odette are supposed to be played by a single dancer, which is true. But in the fourth act, they are forced to be on the stage at the same time. As a result, the spotlight is always on Odette, while the black swan did not receive equal attention. Sharp as I was(cough, I know), I kept a close eye on the black swan though. I didn't think they looked alike. XD

Well, it is probably tough to find twin dancers I guess.

Terrific evening!

其實不是很喜歡『吉他手』裡收錄的那個版本，我還是喜歡純 acoustic 的版本。我的偏見又來了。(笑)

詞/曲: 陳綺貞

你離開我的時候
忘了帶走甜蜜的折磨
我為你哭紅了眼哭的累了
跌進深深的睡眠
一天一天習慣了早起早睡
不給自己機會失眠

你回來了的時候
帶了好多的故事和照片
我的舞臺讓你表演
我開始捨不得睡
一夜一夜熬出深深黑眼圈
這就是我愛你的表現

呼，一口氣貼這麼多，不過真該去睡了，再不睡真的會開始有黑眼圈了。 XDD

小陶在他的個版已經分析得很詳細了，我想這裡就不需要多談。歌是很討喜，而且讓人很容易就這樣一直聽下去沒有錯，但是最大的致命傷就是太多別人的影子了。 (偷小陶的一句話來) 不過也怪不了他，現在流行男歌手唱歌唱的好聽，又可以有一些創作能力的基本上一隻手數的完吧......

不過這些人模仿來模仿去也真的挺無聊的，有沒有一點有新意一點的東西哩。歌曲的形式是問題，但不是全部的問題。

多想要記住這一分鐘　回應我幸福的要求
我或許沒有別的夢　唯一的是　我愛你　你也愛我

不擔心一杯紅酒　把我的真心透露　或許你早就該懂
冰淇淋在喉嚨　能多冷靜幾秒鐘　氣氛再浪漫都不夠
燭光晚餐像一場美夢　像這樣望著你到永久
一束玫瑰交到你手中　這一天這一刻這一切　你屬於我

多想要滿足這一秒鐘　你每天晚餐都陪我
美味比不過你溫柔　從此以後　我愛你　你愛我

多想要記住這一分鐘　回應我幸福的要求
我或許沒有別的夢　唯一的是　我愛你　你也愛我

我不是個浪漫的傢伙　卻甘心為你這樣做
想要什麼都跟我說　從此以後　我愛你　你愛我

我是不是有一點彆扭　從不曾這樣說出口
太多的願望在心中　重要的是　我愛你　你也愛著我

我自己很喜歡這首『燭光晚餐』。雖然歌詞和旋律都滿芭樂的，但這麼救國團的開頭還可以唱得這麼浪漫也真是不太容易。 :P

---
P.S. 這首歌的歌詞應該有種很似曾相似的感覺喔 :P 不是說他抄襲，這也是他的歌裡別人的影子太濃的證據之一吧。

第一次看到歌詞還以為『外面的世界』怎麼改版了。沒有非常喜歡這首歌的歌詞，但整首歌的感覺配合著電影的情節，相當的感人。

外面的世界很精彩
我出去會不會失敗
外面的世界特別慷慨
闖出去我就可以活過來
留在這裡我看不到現在
我要出去尋找我的未來
下定了決心改變日子真難挨
吹熄了蠟燭願望就是離開

外面的世界很精彩
我出去會變的可愛
外面的機會來得很快
我一定找到自己的存在
一離開頭也不轉不回來
我離開
永遠都不再回來

其實沒有太喜歡這種太淺顯的歌, 只不過, 要給人打氣, 還是這種簡單易懂的容易許多. 加油!

鋼鐵男子伍佰

擦去轉身離去之後不爭氣的淚
燦爛笑容摻雜著汗水
真的累
妳看不出我的傷悲
景色還是一樣的美

忘記昨日一切其實還沒有準備
新的明天如何去面對
我需要安慰
讓悲傷的人不流淚
迎向太陽頭也不回

告訴我
像個鋼鐵般的男子
我會藏起我所有的心事
像座堅強的山能抵擋風和雨
濃霧若散去抬起頭遙望著天際
明天又是一片翠綠

像個鋼鐵般的男子
我會藏起我所有的心事
將我熱情的心隨季節而冷卻
沒有盡頭前方的路途還遙遠
就算感動也無所謂

一切都將成回憶
無法抹滅的過去
會隨著時間慢慢地模糊的痕跡
就讓它去
或許有一天會想起
生命之中曾經戰勝自己

[Movie] 藍色大門

2006-03-18T12:48:00.000+01:00

『...但是總是會留下些什麼吧。留下什麼，我們就變成什麼樣的大人。』

From 『藍色大門』

推薦影評: 車陣裡的幻覺

在《藍色大門》裡則是海市蜃樓似地出現了一個只有青少年的世界，在那個世界裡天空特別藍，樹特別綠，陽光特別清澈，原來雜亂灰色的臺北市，變得「像赤道雨林的國家」般，空氣裡充滿著芬多精。更美好的是，在《藍色大門》裡，沒有大人。

「車陣裡的幻覺」-侯季然

最近又把小步舞曲的MV翻出來看，本來想寫關於歌詞的事情的，但最後變成寫電影。XD 我想我也沒有辦法寫的比他好了。所以就不囉唆。:P

我想，簡單的描述這是一部描寫青澀的高中生活的片子，是很直接也沒有問題的判斷。但也許因為曾經唸過這間學校，電影給我的感覺特別深刻，不只是一部青少年片而已。想到那些在附中的日子裡。介意和不在意的事情，臉上都會不由自主的浮出一抹淺淺的微笑。回想起以前的故事，再對照「車陣裡的幻覺」，突然發覺，故事裡怎麼真的都沒什麼『大人』。忽然發現，回憶裡的一切，台北市裡最貴的一片天空可以這麼藍，兩個人在沒有空調的地下室裡，乒乓球的回聲，一大袋一大袋的多球，可以有這麼多這麼多美好的記憶。

而我想這樣的記憶，應該是許多人共通的吧，不會因為穿的是不同學校的制服而有什麼本質上的差別。

但我還是很慶幸我當年選了附中，這永遠是讓我覺得驕傲的，自己的決定。

小步舞曲詞/曲:陳綺貞

天空突然下起傾盆大雨
戀人在屋簷下相偎相依
移動我的腳步輕鬆躲雨
人潮擁擠握住濕熱的手心
再也不願想起不快樂的旋律
呼吸這一秒的空氣

還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密
在我心裡翻來覆去
什麼叫做愛情
還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密
在你心裡我也許只是你欣賞的風景

夜晚靜靜等著電話響起
時間躺在他去年寄來的信
空蕩的房間我播放著舞曲
旋轉這一秒的孤寂

還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密
在你心裡我也許是你輕快的遊戲
還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密
在你心裡我也許只是你緩慢的練習
音樂響起我一個人演出重複的舞曲

[Photo] 過曝了怎麼辦? (Overexposure)

2006-03-08T00:51:00.000+01:00

已經很久很久沒有"攝影"類的文章了，每次看到網誌名稱都有一種掛羊頭賣狗肉的感覺。XDD 今天在Fanxuan寫報告的空檔請他教了我一些他的PS密技，就順手把心得記錄下來囉。讓Fuanxuan每次打這麼久也是很累的事情 Orz。

Q: 照片中如果有反差過大的情形怎麼辦呢？在陰天的時候，對天空測光，建築物和其他景色就會過暗(Under-exposure)，而對建築物測光，天空就會過曝(Over-exposure)。在這種反差過大的情形，怎麼樣才能讓前後景都能呈現大約是正確的曝光呢？

A:
[Yugo's懶人解法]

最簡單的方法就是永遠不要過曝.

Under 永遠比 Over 好修，所以照的時候看一下色階 (Live Histogram)。稍微比"正確的EV值"低0.3-0.7個EV值。整段話翻成白話文就是，讓畫面看起來比實際上暗一些。回家後再利用局部數位補光的濾鏡，適當的選擇補光的強度和範圍，讓原本過暗的暗部亮起來，但不會影響亮部的亮度太多。

(我是用NeoImaging，光影魔術手)

[Fanxuan's PS解法]

先來看結果，是不是變的dynamic了不少呢？

[PS前]

[PS後]

我例子舉的不好請見諒。可以注意到，這張照片唯一過曝的地方是白色鐘樓的向陽側，天空和白雲可能有一點太平板對比太低。於是我們的目標就是，把過曝的地方(向陽側)變成正確的曝光值，而讓正確曝光的地方(地面)不受影響。

1. 先拉曲線，從中間往下拉。於是過曝的部分就會變的正常一點，但原本正確的曝光的地面部分卻變成 under 了。

[原圖]

[拉完曲線的結果]

2. 再用步驟紀錄筆刷工具，調整適當的硬度和筆刷大小，塗在"剛剛被變成 under 的其他部分"，把它們叫回來。下面的圖裡應該可以發現，地面的人已經恢復成原本的亮度了。

[拉完曲線，步驟記錄工具使用前]

[步驟記錄工具使用後]

(最後的完工圖由Fanxuan提供，謝謝囉！)

基本上的原則就是：把曝光不對的地方利用拉曲線拉成正確的值，再把其他的部分用步驟記錄工具回復成原來的樣子。

其他的筆記：
1. 曲線也可以拉成S型
2. 曲線的斜率越小，對比就會越不明顯。

[Music] 陳綺貞 - 情歌

2006-02-26T13:07:00.000+01:00

據說這是陳綺貞大學時代的第一首創作.
不知道為什麼突然想起這首歌, one of my favorite.

整首歌詞我都很喜歡, 就不標重點了. :P

情歌陳綺貞

找不到一個唱情歌的理由
描繪不出一種形容你的顏色
在我無框的記憶裡
渲染了整片的黑與白

而你手中的煙
一陣陣又一陣陣地
使我折疊好的心情
又再一次一件件被你翻起...

就像純咖啡中濃的化不開的憂鬱
就像電影散場的時候剎那間遺忘的劇情

改不掉依賴深夜的習慣
阻擋不了濫用你給我的自由
在我無框的記憶裡
渲染了整片的黑與白

而你手中的煙
一陣陣又一陣陣地
使我折疊好的心情
又再一次一件件被你翻起...

[舊文, 2001/08/15]

關於陳綺貞

這是一個讓我驚豔的程度更勝過林志炫的聲音, 我出國前他在誠品的幾次演唱一直抽不出時間去看, 只是朋友一直跟我說, 很棒很棒宇宙霹靂超級無敵棒而已...

第一次聽到他唱歌, 是在爸媽寄給我第一個包裹之後, 一般在我的刻板印象裡, 很少有女生不會唱歌吧...(嗯這個時候有人不需要起立抗議...)

可是他是第一次讓我覺得女生唱歌不只只能大家都有70分(可是不會再高), 還可以到80,90分的程度... 不知道怎麼形容耶, 我記得我那時候有想到一個很貼切的形容的...

我知道他沒有我們想的那麼有深度, 我知道他的詞他的曲也許還是不脫男女情愛的框框, 可是跟志炫一樣, 他的歌聲陪我過了無數個夜晚, 讓我在寒冷的明尼蘇達的晚上除了英國BBC可以學英文以外, 還有一點點來自台灣的溫暖.

而我這一聽就是半年, 儘管我的行李裡還有五六十片其他的CD, 到了晚上沒有人的時候, 我還是會小聲的放著這片從台灣空運來的CD...

[Music] 深白色

2006-02-23T19:43:00.000+01:00

那個人詞/曲: 深白色 (Arys Chien)

當我們笑得好大聲　全世界只剩我們兩個人
而當你沈默移開憤怒的眼神　你變得遙遠了
我們都愛得很認真　卻害怕什麼一定會發生
當所有不確定的摧毀了信任
我的世界崩潰著　無法停止流失的體溫

告訴我你是那個人　能讓我的生命完整　不再悔恨
爭吵的時候再傷人　風雨後我不會是一個人
當我流淚還有人心疼
告訴我你是那個人　這次的愛終於對了沒有疑問
說我是你的那個人　你的心是我最後的旅程
Tell me you' re that special someone

有太多天真的傷痕　讓我們成了脆弱的靈魂
無法任性的相信會走到永恆
已經失去了顏色　我想要更絕對的可能

最喜歡第一句話, 這種感覺真是全世界最幸福的感覺之一阿! 其他就還好.

很討好的一首歌, 我聽到的時候還嚇了一大跳, 以前不管怎麼看, 都覺得深白色是個心思細密的男生啊! 怎麼突然變女的了? 原來是組了一個像Le Couple一樣的那種組合. (封面很有感覺:P)

但聽了其他幾首歌後, 就沒有太多意願往下聽了, 跟Le Couple比起來, 女生的聲音, 其實有一大段的差距. 而這首歌的詞曲也都太流行, 只是前奏的鋼琴編的很討喜, 中間的鋼琴/鋼弦吉他和鼓點的配合也很有效果, 讓我會忍不住一直反覆聽他的前奏和編曲. 最後收尾那句英文有點虛. 不曉得是發音的問題, 還是因為這句可以用中文比較順, 用英文聽起來就怪怪的.

我最喜歡, 印象最深刻的深白色作品還是這首, 也是我的KTV必點曲目之一:
(後註: 我漏了另一首了, The Night We Say Goodbye)

Good Morning, Good Afternoon & good night
作詞：深白色／作曲：深白色

我幻想有這麼一天不用說再見
就共渡從白天到黑夜
在清晨陽光之中醒來轉過身看見你的笑臉
在午後沖杯咖啡肩並肩看書談天
在浪漫寧靜夜裡擁著你入眠

I wanna say Good morning,Good afternoon, Good night my baby
就這樣過一整天倆人的世界
Good morning, Good afternoon & Good night my baby
這一天我和你擁有全世界的時間

讓我們相約在某一天把夢想實現
用一天來體會永遠
互相擁有的感覺
屬於彼此的感覺
迫不及待想要實現
I really wanna say

[Music] 相親記 (邂逅)

2006-02-18T15:38:00.000+01:00

Oddly enough, I prefer the original title "相親記" better than "邂逅," which leaves me more room for imagination.

This is one beautiful song to play and sing. I have been playing this song (either with my guitar or on my computer) over and over these days. This is one of the rare "sunny day songs" I can do and absolutely love.

Hopefully my internet will be working at home so that I can elaborate more on this.

補充:
這首歌彈起來真的是非常過癮, 很過我這種平常都彈慢歌的人的癮. :P 而且有一種, 很藍色大門的氣息. :P

我喜歡的歌通常都會帶一點點自己的情緒在, 但這首歌應該是個例外. 雖然其實我不太像男主角那個樣子(only sometimes), 欣賞的女孩子也不是那種"眼裡彷彿總有一點憂傷", 但我還是好喜歡好喜歡這首歌阿.

尤其是副歌的頂真用的很妙. 我覺得修辭本身的韻律感, 如果跟詞的意思配合的起來, 就會是非常完美的修辭. 有些修辭給人"為了填詞而填詞, 為了押韻而押韻"的這種感覺, 但在這裡除了看起來相當自然之外, 這樣的頂真修辭讓人真的有一種在心裡百轉千迴, 一種"若即若離"的情緒在其中醞釀. 而尾奏的"那又何妨", 收的非常漂亮, 到歌曲的尾聲, 沈澱的真心有沒有人看的見, 那又何妨呢?

我相信, 真心的, 就會實現.

(詹大哥的手還真的是超級大的, 試了一整個星期還是沒辦法按完整, 有幾個地方必須自己簡化掉, 才彈的起來...) -->其實是我的手太小 =.=

相親記　(邂逅) 詞/曲：詹兆源

妳總在窗前看著人來人往
妳眼中彷彿總有一點點憂傷
妳讓人感到迷惘他們說
妳就是那個模樣

我喜歡日子過得充滿瘋狂
我也許不懂害怕
他們說我就是這個模樣
我以為我的幻想沒人願意聽
妳以為小說裡才找得到知己
其實我不很確定難道說
妳也有一樣的心情

妳在等待誰是不是一顆悸動的心
是一種若即若離的心情
我看見日子總得有些改變
改變了誰能擔保直到永遠
永遠的思念是否不會沉澱
沉澱的真心有誰能看見

Coda:
那又何妨那又何妨.......

[Music] Semiscon 神秘失控

2006-02-14T21:22:00.000+01:00

幾天前僑委會派來歐洲"宣慰僑胞"的A Capella團, 神秘失控(Semiscon)來到我們這裡, 反正不用錢, 所以我就去讓他們"宣慰"一下了.

一開場的幾首英文歌對一些比較不常聽的人會滿有衝擊力, 但我覺得就還好. 後來到了一些台灣的組曲就讓我非常印象深刻, 特別是那個每日一字主題曲(?)+郭英男的"歡聚歌" (我其實有點忘了第一首是什麼).

而其他大部分的英文老歌和慢歌都還好而已, 但有一首歌我一聽就愛上了. 這首歌是"Only You", 不是那個the Platters的"Onnly Yoooouuuuuuu~~ "(無限拉高ing~~~~~~)而是原唱為Yazoo的這首:

Looking from a window above, it’s like a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
I’m moving further away
Want you near me

Chorus
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name when it’s only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say it’s getting harder to stay
When I see you

Chorus
This is going to take a long time and I wonder what’s mine
Can’t take no more
Wonder if you’ll understand it’s just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

Chorus

這首歌有Yazoo(原唱), 和Flying Pickets(另一個A Capella團體), Enrique Iglesias翻唱的西班牙文版, 譚詠麟, 以及Gregorian的版本.

以下就我拿到的版本分別稍微提一下:
Yazoo: 拿到的版本中最讓我滿意的, 不過古早時候的midi有一點兩光(應該說非常兩光...), 鼓聲非常的討人厭, 很期待有現代編曲版的.
Flying Pickets: 和聲作得很漂亮, 編曲也不錯, 但最大的缺點呢, 因為是A Capella團, 他們很用心的把那一堆原唱的背景兩光的midi聲全部做出來, 但是...... 我實在不能忍受為什麼人要去模仿兩光的midi啊...... ><
Enrique Iglesias: 不喜歡.
Gregorian: 非常的像教會唱詩班, 但整個味道就走掉了. 感覺有點像, 70年代的編曲+合唱團在唱歌. 非常的不搭. 又是一個需要用減法去思考的例子..

最後的結論是: Semiscon可以不可以出這一首歌啊...... 我一定會去買 ><
(謎之音: 你自己不會出一個版本啊, 光出一張嘴有什麼用 XDD
Yugo: :$)

另外朋友讓我聽了一下Semiscon的CD, 我的天阿, 怎麼好聽的歌都沒有收, 收了一些...... Orz的歌. 還好在聽過他們的東西前有去看表演, 要不然我根本就不可能去...... =.=

[Music] 進退兩難 - 談"好人"

2006-02-05T01:29:00.000+01:00

雖然之前的不自量力評論已經談過這首歌了, 但我還想就這首曲子補充一些情感面的想法. (咳, 就是有人愛提醒別人十天後是什麼日子)

進退兩難
詞/曲: 詹兆源收錄於林志炫, 詹兆源[原聲之旅]專輯

我真的不願承認你心中有個完整的世界隨你躲
那兒有山有水有天留不下空缺讓我來填

要癡癡等待很簡單要若無其事很困難
要讓你信任很簡單要和你戀愛非常難

曾經我費盡心思走到你心門口
我努力努力這門檻我卻始終跨不過
我悄悄回頭發現來時太執著把路都踏破
我進退兩難我進退兩難

僅節錄第一段的歌詞, 我喜歡第一段遠勝過第二段和搖滾版多加的一些東西. :P

在研究室裡我們幾個中國學生與台灣學生常常會聊些有的沒的, 最常出現的話題其中之一, 就是兩岸的許多字的用法不同, 以及台灣最近發展的一些網路次文化用詞, 例如什麼Orz阿, XD阿, 當然, 還有"好人".

"好人"一開始的用法非常的妙,
"你是個好人, 可是我們不適合."
"你是個好人, 但我覺得我不夠好, 所以..."
解釋了第一次, 對岸的同學一聽就瞭解, 而且全笑翻了.

As a joke, yeah, it's perfectly fine.
但認識我的人應該都知道,
除了確定別人知道我搞笑的意思時說自己是好人外, 我不太會亂說.
我對於"好人"這個詞語被濫用,
也只覺得是"不夠好的loser"對自己處境的開脫.

雖然如此, 還是有一些"好人", 是符合這個詞語原始的定義的.

而我想, "進退兩難"這首歌, 把"好人"的心情寫的深刻而生動.
能得到喜歡的人的信任,
但"there's a fine, fine line between (being) together and not."
(扯到另一首歌去了:P)
門檻其實是這麼的低, 這麼的微不足道, 卻始終跨不過.
得到的是祝福而不是love, 承認自己就是不夠好,
或是無奈的接受, 許多事情就是不管你怎麼努力就是不可能改變的,
還能說些什麼呢?

曾經我費盡心思走到你心門口
我努力努力這門檻我卻始終跨不過

所以我才說, 這才是好人無奈的心聲.

但換個角度來想, 被(誠懇的)說這種好人句型, 其實應該心懷感激.
因為at least you tried, at least you "are nice."
是一種肯定, 知道事情就是只能是這樣子,
有些人, 就是只能遠遠的"祝她幸福",
而不能試著"給她幸福."

Being nice is simply not enough at all.
It's a necessary condition, rather than a sufficient condition.

正因為我們脆弱, 我們才需要更勇敢,
正因為我們不夠好, 所以我們更努力讓自己變的更好,
期待終有一天有"一個人"會懂.
我不需要是萬人迷, 也不會是萬人迷,
只要給我一個機會, one more chance, 就夠了.

給每一個孤單或不孤單的同伴. :)

I knew about this project for a while but I haven't tried this until yesterday.
Professor Jeng talked about this when I was in JCMG.
The idea is really cool, but probably needs some more time to accomplish.

Today in my Pandora:
Champaign Supernova (Oasis)
-> Luegee (RadioHead) -- Great!!!
-> Pearl Jams

Everywhere (Michelle Branch)
-> Say Goodbye (Color) -- Nice find too!
-> Speak Low -- Don't like it so much
-> Breathe (Michelle Branch) -- Like this one
-> Two Steps (Gemma Hayes) -- OK... but not great
-> Soak up the Sun (Sheryl Crow) -- OK
-> Eyes (Tracy Bonman) -- OK

Affirmation (Savage Garden)
-> A Night on the River (Chris de Burgh) -- OK
-> Tonight it's you (Cheap trick) -- No good
-> The First Single (The Format) -- Better than most OK's
-> Hold me (Savage Garden) -- Great!

Overall it didn't recommend great songs to me most of the times.
I will try with some more stations tomorrow. :P

[Music] 溫暖的詩句

2006-01-20T04:19:00.000+01:00

我很少看日劇, 怎麼知道Le Couple的也不太記得了. 唯一記得的是, 這是我唯一一次把抓下來的吉他譜一五一十的打出來, po在bbs上. 還有以前在班上的音樂會上(記錯的話請糾正我Orz)跟流星同學合作了這首曲子. 後來就莫名其妙跑去買了這張精選集. 想想高中那段時間也真是有趣, 窮到徹底, 但是卻又可以掏出一些錢來買CD.

最近朋友提了"可惜不是你"這首歌,

可惜不是你陪我到最後曾一起走卻走失那路口
感謝那是你牽過我的手還能感受那溫柔

那一段我們曾心貼著心我想我更有權力關心你
可能你已走進別人風景多希望也有星光的投影

努力為你改變卻變不了預留的伏筆
以為在你身邊那也算永遠彷彿還是昨天
可是昨天已非常遙遠但閉上雙眼我還看得見

但我還是比較喜歡Le Couple這首.
除了"可惜不是你, 陪我到最後"之外,
我想, 這跟CookieT告訴我的, "記得, 要看著前面"是一樣的道理.

昨日的美好都依然在回憶中, 只是停在原地了.
我們還是努力的往前走, 不一樣的,
只是現在"你由衷所給予我的愛, 包容了我的一切, 那正是暖暖的陽光."

祝福你. :)

有多久沒見到你了呢
寄出去的信今早又飛回我的信箱裡
有如在窗邊搖曳剛甦醒的嫩葉般
越過了長長的寒冬我這才發覺

任何的言語也不足以表達
你所給予我的愛包容了我的一切
有如向陽一般

兩人最後的合照裡油菜花熱情的綻開著
雖無法做出"我會寄給你的"之約定
但既使是現在我也能將溫柔與真心
雙手捧著送你

儘管以後我們將喜歡上不同的人
但你留給我的一切我將不會忘記
我會試著再去愛誰
在這廣闊的天空下既使再也無法相逢我仍會繼續過著生活

對於這樣的我
你由衷所給予我的愛包容了我的一切
有如向陽一般

你由衷所給予我的愛包容了我的一切
那正是暖暖的陽光

[Movie] Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

2005-12-28T23:54:00.000+01:00

Finally, I got to see this movie again. I'll elaborate more on this a few days later. For now, I'll simply quote from a review from Amazon.com.

"Even if a relationship did not work out in the end, it does not mean it was time wasted."

Thank you and merry Christmas wholeheartedly. You know I mean it.

Quotes:

[Mary reads to Dr. Mierzwiak out of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"; the lines are from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard"]
Mary: How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

[Music] Finally - Fool's Garden

2005-12-24T23:29:00.000+01:00

當初為什麼會在二手唱片行會買這張專輯"Dish of the Day"已經忘記了, 但絕對不是因為Lemon Tree的關係. =.= 以前有一陣子很愛去二手唱片行挖寶, 通常買到的東西都不會讓我失望(雖然很可能之前根本沒聽過). 這張也不例外, well, 我沒辦法 recommend this album without any reservation, 但我自己挺喜歡的. :P

Finally
No longer the same train
It's reelin' on a different track
No longer the same mistakes
And no more looking back
The station you're heading for
is not a place for me
I couldn't see the barriers
while I was standing in between

Finally
No longer the man I used to be

No longer the same ship
We were sailing on a different sea
No other apparent reason
to go down on my knees
We were runnin' way too fast,
but now it's runnin' off the rails
I couldn't see the exit
Not before the moment we were bound to fail

Finally
No longer the same shit
Finally
No longer the same train
Finally
Without you, without you
Finally, finally

No longer the fool for you,
no puppet on a satin string
No more excuses for nothing,
no more words that I don't mean
We were plantin' the same tree
but we had different leaves
Now the soil is dry
Let's end up this story
For another one to begin
Finally

Note: 我超愛最後這段的. 其實最後幾句我這幾天聽本來聽成:

"Now that silence strikes/ that's end of the story/
for another one to begin/ finally"

雖然好像差很多, 不過如果不看上下文, 還滿讚的哩... XDD

[Music] Acoustic Journey II

2005-12-19T23:54:00.000+01:00

Note: 澄清一下, 聲音假假的的確是試聽檔案的問題. XDD (當然還是有幾個弦樂器和鼓聲怪怪的, 但聽起來不會假假的就是了, 請見往下一篇的補充. :P)

感謝opai的回應讓我想起一些本來想說, 可是也許沒講明白的話. (我不曉得你介意不介意我把真名打出來, 但是在可以google的世界裡, 我自己通常是不打真名的)

: → opai:推...寫的好...說實在話像我們吉他社的應該都愛聽純吉他那推 12/20
: → opai:幾首...一方面是我們對吉他有興趣一方面那些其他的聲音推 12/20
: → opai:搭的..真的不是很好聽起來也真的很假像你說的那樣推 12/20
: → opai:不過我們似乎也不能強求人家專輯要怎麼做...@@ 推 12/20
: → opai:可不是純吉他+vocal 不然我一定衝一張推 12/20
: → opai:現在這樣可能就要考慮一下... 推 12/20
: → opai:不過樂器聲音假假的有沒有可能是因為試聽檔案的音質差.. 推 12/20

我覺得偏見是存在的, 我也很努力的在寫東西的時候避開自己主觀的喜好. 我的作法是, 承認我自己喜歡的就是純吉他/鋼琴+vocal, 提醒讀者, 讓看的人自己去評價我的說法裡面, 到底客觀的成分佔了多少. 有一點推卸責任啦, 但是也是沒有辦法中的辦法.

我當然知道以我這種小喀當然不能"要求人家專輯要怎麼做", 但以一個發片都有買專輯的忠實歌迷的角度, 我應該有權力分享我自己的看法. 而且我覺得我已經很撇開吉他本位的思考了, "Acoustic Journey"我期待的是聽到一張純粹的, 伴奏是純吉他或鋼琴, 加其他unplugged的樂器無妨, 即使plugged份量不要太重也無所謂, 只要不會擾亂你對音樂本質的專注, 有萬芳"Tea for two"這樣水準的編曲, 深刻的詹兆源的創作+林志炫的美聲再次呈獻, 而不是這種不痛不癢的輕音樂形式的東西. 也許很適合在研究室裡放給大家聽放鬆心情, 但在我的耳中聽起來就不是太對味.

其實主角還是純吉他+vocal, 只是其他樂器非但沒有增加我對主角的感覺, 反倒對我已經產生一定程度的干擾. (有的時候加弦樂, bass, 鼓其實是很必要的, 吉他有吉他本身的限制沒辦法.)

當然聲音假假的有可能是試聽檔案的問題, 等拿到CD再來評論吧. XDD

---

另外我發現我喜歡的大概都是背後有很深刻的故事或畫面的歌,
進退兩難, 相親記, 輸了你, 漂鳥, 我的歌我的心都是.
(尤其是相親記當時給我的畫面就幾乎是專輯介紹寫的那樣 XDD)
出嫁和讓愛作主就有一點點不太誠懇的感覺了. :P

[Music] Acoustic Journey - 林志炫, 詹兆源

2005-12-19T23:13:00.000+01:00

"大家都有一個假設, 彈吉他的不會渴." -詹兆源

(林志炫在開始唱之前先跟台下觀眾要了杯水, 結果真的只來了一杯, 於是就有了這句非常有趣的comment. :P)

Update: 謝謝doucette幫我買到新專輯, 還有拿到親筆簽名, 真是太感人了, 雖然說過了, 但還是再祝你申請上M開頭那間學校. :P
(這陣子把感想分別貼到不同地方去了, 在下面順便整理一下...)

先廣告一下, 河岸留言12/30有林志炫和詹兆源的新專輯發表會, it should be great. 林志炫和詹兆源的現場很少很少讓我失望.

我在林志炫版聽到這個構想時真的覺得非常興奮, 但真正聽到這張專輯的試聽時卻有一點點被澆了一盆冷水的感覺. 我還是很欣賞詹兆源學長的創作和林志炫的歌聲, 還有兩人組合的表演, 也許是我期待的太多. No offense to this, but I have to be honest.

其實最近一直在反覆的聽林志炫詹兆源兩次在民謠之夜上的表演, 第一次的"進退兩難", "Just For You", 和第二次的"輸了你", 真的給我非常非常驚豔的感覺, 即使是現在重聽, 還是覺得非常感動.

但聽試聽的時候, 卻有一點點失落的感覺. 我期待很多的"進退兩難"的完整版其實跟當初的差距不大, 可能要聽聽進退兩難II才能比較出差別吧. 其他如Fire也是about the same, 相親記大概就是那個standard, 這些我大概不會覺得有什麼失落或是很感動的感覺.

這裡面最失望的是專輯裡的樂器除了吉他之外應該都是合成樂器吧, 我的耳朵已經算很不利了, 但我都聽起來假假的, 尤其是背景的鼓聲真的有一點像... 節拍器...... 而"輸了你"真的是非常奇怪, 開頭和那個弦樂器都配的很怪. 很沒有"在很冷的夜裡邊站衛兵邊流眼淚"邊寫出來的感覺.

不過"我的歌我的心"在這張專輯的表現就好很多, 在民謠之夜上也許是希望讓吉他的部分出來秀, 所以反倒搶了"歌手對台下的人的獨語"這個主題的風采. 但在這個版本裡我覺得就剛剛好, 雖然我覺得鋼琴伴奏還是適當一點點. (這部分就是主觀的personal preferences了)

總之整張專輯給我一種非常"輕音樂"的感覺, 好像過了十五年, 一切都過去了, 再深刻的情感都可以在輕鬆的音樂中帶過. 輕鬆跟深刻應該是不相衝突的, 但我在專輯裡好像只聽的到輕鬆, 聽不太出來深刻的感覺.

雖然說了這些, 還是好希望12/30也能在台灣啊, 可惜那時候我大概也只能對著電腦寫作業吧... (在河岸總不可能用合成樂器了吧 =.=)

新專輯試聽

---

原來音質影響是這麼巨大, 請讓我收回其中部分的說詞... Orz
雖然試聽很讓我失望, 真的拿到專輯時, 高興的感覺還是遠大於失落的.

不過我還是覺得有部分的鼓聲很像節拍器, "輸了你"的弦樂器很怪,
整體的聲音架構也太輕音樂了一點點, 有一點太不痛不癢了.

除了這些之外, 我還滿喜歡的.
但是我覺得這種喜歡就有一點, 因為喜歡吉他伴奏而喜歡的感覺.

我特別喜歡這張的"我的歌我的心"和"進退兩難".
"我的歌我的心" 一直是我的No.1 favorite, 還是比較適合用鋼琴伴奏.
但這次的吉他前奏真的寫的很讚, 給了這首歌另一種風貌.
如果說以前的版本是, 在舞台上的歌者對於台下觀眾的告白,
現在的版本應該可以說成, 這位歌者走下舞台, 就可能躲在你我左右,
和你我一樣在"黑暗中某一個角落", 唱著"帶走我的歌, 帶走我的心".

雖然這位歌手現在已經不在spotlight下,
但他還是努力的, 在黑壓壓的一片觀眾, 找尋每一個貼近自己頻率的聽眾.
情境變了, 心意依然是一樣的.

而"進退兩難"給人一種很優雅的感覺,
也許有人會覺得很普通, 但我非常非常喜愛這種含蓄卻又實際的表達情感的方式.

另外, 比較有爭議的是"輸了你贏了世界又如何"的編曲.
順便提提我主觀的看法, 我覺得問題不在於"用弦樂"身上, 而在於怎麼用.
這裡的弦樂很明顯不是為了吉他的打底, 而是自己有自己的線要走,
希望能有一點氣勢出來, 但卻又有所保留(而且還保留的很多...).
我覺得, 要做弦樂乾脆就做乾脆一點, 弄一個輸了你I - 只有吉他伴奏,
輸了你II - 動用整個管弦樂團, 直接用弦樂器為主體.

最後, 應該要很炫的"別以為我不會走", 感覺有點可惜,
隱隱約約感覺出來, 沒有民謠之夜現場那麼炫的原因,
是有一點為了整張專輯的"acoustic"調性而委曲求全了.

這樣的感覺在整張專輯裡一直存在著.
感覺整張專輯為了一個acoustic的調性而犧牲了很多元素,
不見得是壞事, 但若是很多原始的感動都變的模糊, 也許就值得重新考慮了.

---
我想這張專輯可能還是不會得一些"鋼琴伴奏基本教義派",
或是"林志炫就應該飆高音派"的欣賞就是了.

[Music] 蘇打綠

2005-12-16T20:16:00.000+01:00

之前其實就想打一堆的, 只是電腦突然整個爛掉. orz
很高興它又回來了. :D (不過不見得是好事就是了...)

這個我就不丟網站了, 因為直接連到官方網站可以試聽. :)

先說我對主唱的感覺, 基本上聽蘇打綠整個焦點應該都在主唱身上, 其他人除了某些特別的編曲的地方外, 沒有太多的重點可以提. 他讓我想起高中時代唱Cranberries的學長, 但是, 有時候鼻音重到會讓我有點受不了... 不過聽得出來他原本的聲音本來就不算太厚, 要唱rock, 也只能這樣唱了. (專業的人給點意見吧... 不過我自己在家裡試是沒辦法的, 我也是聲音高的話就會變扁扁, 低的話又軟軟的型, sigh...) 這些都還好, 有的時候哭腔太重是我完全無法忍受的...

But anyways, I like them A LOT.

歌詞的部分, 有一些拼貼的感覺, 但又不像方文山有時候那種讓我非常受不了的完全無厘頭拼貼, 除了一種很"蘇打綠"的感覺之外, 它是有畫面的. 不是方文山那種完全想像的電影式畫面, 而是一種可以感覺到"它曾經在你生命中經過"的畫面.

其實我覺得它們的前奏尾奏都讓人感覺有點隨便, 我實在很想把它的副歌部分全部剪出來, 反正我每次也都只會快轉聽那部分Orz...

我太喜歡太喜歡"頻率"這首歌的副歌了,

跳動的世界裡找你的頻率
靜止也不休息抓住你的呼吸
我再多說一句猜你的回應
流動的時間裡找你的旋律
轉眼整個世界只剩你的應許
我放自己飛行今夜就開始放晴 ( 在有你的記憶 )

很能抓的住那種, trapped in the never-ending loop of searching, guessing and verifying的男女情緒. 雖然這種歌多了也會膩, 但這是目前為止, 最能貼近我的頻率的歌了. :)

另外, "ohohohoh"用一把吉他試著做了一下, 是doable的, 不過我的刷法可能還得再練一下, 而且幾百年沒有唱那種很費力, 然後又要刷扣的歌了. 另外那個鋼琴fillin配的真的漂亮, 沒有它我大概不可能會喜歡這首歌.

"你喔"是首很可愛的歌, 不過最近心情其實平淡的聽不下這種太暖的歌. 這種唱給大人聽的童謠還滿討喜的.

其實我很害怕他們下一張之後又消失了(跟很多我欣賞的樂手一樣), 不過看到他們受支持的程度看起來, 比較擔心他們會朝五月天的模式發展過去. =.= (希望是往陳綺貞的方向走囉, 不是說歌路, 而是說發展的方向)

[Music] Resonant with Soda Green

2005-12-07T13:44:00.000+01:00

(My laptop is broken, so everything will be in English since now...)

I know it's still early, but I know the first song that I want to sing in KTV when I get back to Taiwan now -- "frequency" by Soda Green.

I had their music in my computer for a long time. I haven't got serious with their music until recently I decided to dig it out my music collection again.

They surprised me with lots of energy and beautiful melodies. I think I wasn't impressed much because I hate some expression that the singer frequently uses. But after a while, I am now able to disregard it and try to look at some other aspects of their work.

Soda Green knows my frequency.
I can feel myself resonant with their music.

P.S. It's so difficult to write in English, especially when your mind is thinking in Chinese... I will redo the article after I can use Chinese... I have so much to say in addition to this crap...

[Music] 單程車票 -易齊

2005-12-05T21:11:00.000+01:00

其實還有很多東西可以寫, 只是最近抽不出時間來寫那些瑣事.

這是我最近常在聽的一首歌, 我覺得易齊真的相當可惜, 簡直就是無印良品兩個人的中間版, 不會太溫, 也不會太尖, 這樣的調調跟我現在的聲音比較像. (當然要是狀況好的時候......) 當時為了要走acoustic風, 還找了fingerstyle界大牌的Don Ross來伴奏, 可惜雷聲大雨點小, 我一看到無印良品掌心的MTV就說他們會紅, 但關於易齊我說錯了, 我以為至少會掀起一點acoustic guitar的熱潮的, 但結果又是一個我叫好, 可是不叫座的一片歌手.

我非常喜歡這首歌, 歌詞雖然不怎麼樣, 但中間那兩句真的寫到我心坎裡了. 而且Don Ross對於伴奏的掌握真的是太讚了, 雖然易齊的聲音實在太平淡, 很容易被Don Ross搶走spotlight, 但對於我這種很愛管編曲的人, 聽的實在很過癮.

Don Ross

單程車票
作詞：易齊　作曲：黃韻仁

單程車上七點半　車廂搭客沒多少　
沿途路上根本不想　有掉頭的欲望
要不是它在我心裡擠滿絕望　怎會離開現在住的地方　
去流浪　去流浪

無端端夜裡　被吵醒　是我在哭泣　
難免一個人在異鄉生活會孤寂

我會再努力　去忘記　離開的原因　
反正車票裡沒印上回程的日期　回也回不去

給每一個為了不同理由在異鄉奮鬥, 互相打氣的同伴.

[Photo] 關於攝影 - 從Kodak小相機到A200

2005-12-04T01:09:00.000+01:00

本篇與這裡同時刊登.

最近一直收到朋友的鼓勵, 謝謝各位的指教阿. 其實自己也覺得自己拍的東西有進步了. 從一開始拿小相機亂拍一通, 什麼都不知道, 到決定買了"偽專業"相機, 拿DC-Phili之旅當實驗品(抱歉了各位 orz), 帶著它闖蕩各種球賽, 不放過任何可以練習的機會. 我想我終於可以說, 我慢慢的找到和我的相機相處的方式了.

不過覺得自己還是有很多很多可以改進的地方: 我還是不會拍特寫, 我還是比較會拍人人會拍的大景, 我還是對人像一點辦法都沒有, 我還是必須依賴數位相機的預視和測光功能, 我還是沒有辦法做出一些有意思, eye-catching的創作.
當初開始想要攝影的初衷, 其實是希望可以記住生活中的每個有意義的片段, 而我只是小小的希望能記錄的稍微有美感一點. 但沒想到現在有一點走火入魔, 每次出去, 不管是生活隨拍還是真的出去旅行, 總是會把照片拍成像旅遊雜誌或明信片一般. 這對某些人來說也許是件好事, 但是這跟我當初希望達成的已經有了差距了.

還記得以前彈吉他的時候, 常常告訴自己, 最純粹的音樂, 常常不是沒有瑕疵的. 過於注重瑕疵的存在, 卻常常失去了做音樂最初最真實的情感.

"如果說音樂傾訴著我的感情, 圖像就是我心情的倒影."
也許我還需要很久的時間, 才能做到我自己說的這點吧.

[Movie] A Lot Like Love (2005)

2005-12-02T01:02:00.000+01:00

Honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love. -Emily

其實剛剛就該去睡了, 可是為了避免上次Before Sunset隔了一天一堆東西都不見了的慘劇再度發生, 我看我還是現在寫一寫吧.

To me, it's a hilarious movie. I loved some screen shots in this movie. But I will still rank it after Eternal Sunshine, and Before Sunset, I guess.

我想問題應該出在對話的身上, 對話和一些場景的選擇真的很爆笑, 但爆笑的後面我卻找不到太多可以去思考的東西, 也許是我看得太嚴重了一點, 這應該就是一般人相處的方式, 其實整部片一直在呼應一開始引的Emily的那句話. But anyways, 我還是比較喜歡Before Sunset的對話方式. (也許就是因為我做不到我才會特別欣賞吧, 問題是我大概也做不到這麼hilarious.)

我想 if I watched it with someone I love, I would probably have liked this film better. 不過這部電影真的是非常hilarious, 好幾次都讓我狂笑: Driving North的那段唱"If you leave me now", 要拍那張在山裡的照片時把鏡頭帶往前面的兔子身上, 大鬧日本餐廳等等......

不過我印象最深刻的, 除了Driving North那段之外, 還是Oliver的事業垮台之後, "Look what you've done", 跑去畫廊等Emily那一段吧.

Maybe it's simply impossible to be clever and be still in love, realistically romantic in real life.

Quotes:

Oliver, this is your life. Right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet.

You know, it's not love but it's an awful lot like it.

---
很抱歉又中英夾雜了, 這是我極力想要避免可是有時候又免不掉的...

This is the original English version:

It's a lot like love, but it's not quite about love in my aspect after all. The plot isn't that interesting; the dialogues are funny, but they don't get me contemplating that deeply; it's a fun movie to spend the Thursday night, preferably with someone I love, but I just couldn't identify with it.

Maybe it's that I expected too much out of the movie. It's a good movie actually, if not great.

[Music] High and Dry -Radiohead

2005-11-30T23:07:00.000+01:00

High and Dry

Guitar Tab

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you,
You will be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing you ever had has gone away

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

我的天阿... 我的西洋流行歌曲的知識匱乏到, 今天不小心在我的music database裡聽到這首歌, 才知道它是Radiohead的作品. 我記得高中時一直想要找這首歌, 結果找不到. 但我高中時的英聽能力有差到連中間副歌幾個字(也就是歌名)都聽不懂嗎???

不過... 其實我還是看不懂歌詞, 必須去找中文翻譯. 英文麻煩的地方就是你每個字都看的懂, 但是湊起來就是不知道是什麼鳥意思. (找到了啦, 不過不方便轉錄囉, 請見ptt/radiohead精華區/Bends專輯)

[Music] 海洋- 陳建年

2005-11-25T23:50:00.000+01:00

2000春天, 我和平常沒兩樣的在南陽街的亞蘭德倫地下室吃晚餐.

電視上突然出現一行字幕: "金曲獎最佳男演唱人: 陳建年, 最佳女演唱人: 楊乃文."

我的天, 竟然被我猜到了, 今天才在跟同學討論哩. 而我也不是真的覺得他們會得獎, 畢竟以往的金曲獎得獎的歌手都讓我滿囧rz的. 我只是單純的猜我希望得獎的人而已, 結果還真的竟然是. 不只如此, 最佳編曲黃大煒和郭巍的"秋天1944", 最佳作詞人雷光夏, 陳建年也多拿了一個最佳作曲, 最佳新人紀曉君, 通通是我本來想跟同學說, 其實這些人很棒, 只是在金曲獎這種場子出不了頭而已的人.

很多人喜歡把陳建年的音樂歸成原住民, 但跟他自己在專輯裡講的一樣, 此言差矣. 他彈的東西倒還比較接近unplugged的鄉村搖滾--那種十年十五年前學吉他的人都會彈的那種Jim Croce, Eagles類的東西.

我特別喜歡這張專輯跑到部落裡去收音的部分, 很自然, 沒有自然音樂的矯揉做作, 取而代之的是原住民同胞的爽朗笑聲和超爆笑的玩笑話. "早晨的晚霞"中, 一開始陳建年因為小孩子突然來個"oh ya"不小心拍子慢了一點, 就被立刻吐嘈連發:"彈錯囉","笨","這樣子也想出專輯..." XDD

另外, 序曲裡的笛子我記得專輯上的文案是說, 要去收音時, 製作人在路上靈機一動做出來的. 而海洋這張專輯的名字, 最後也變成近幾年紅到不行的海洋音樂祭的起點.

"也曾感覺"竟然是一首救國團歌, 如果救國團歌都可以長這樣多讚...

"早晨的晚霞"對我也有特別的意義, 這是我第一次在正式的表演裡唱的歌. 已經好久好久, 沒有這樣子單純的唱歌了, 不知道什麼時候開始覺得自己的聲音已經壞掉了... 想當年還有人覺得我聲音很好聽哩.

推薦: 序曲, 早晨的晚霞, 海洋, 也曾感覺

[早晨的晚霞]

a-li a-li-yan ma-ga gu-da-yu 在這裡尋煩惱
手中的酒瓶混合稻香和綠茶是否紓解了你的心情

a-li a-li-yan ba-rua-rua ge-ma-du 別迷失你自己
美麗的早晨以為是落日晚霞你的理想永遠找不到

年輕的你未來充滿著希望何不努力
腳踏實地去開創人生旅途會走得更加順暢
別放棄別失意別逃避別憂鬱

我知道我也很棒, 只是在現在還不是我的時候而已, wait and see.

[Music] 從Jim Brickman談起

2005-11-19T21:29:00.000+01:00

對Jim Brickman的第一個印象是從侯文詠的有聲書"在生命中轉彎的地方"開始的. 這是幾卷對我影響很深刻的錄音帶, 機智幽默中, 卻可以把二三十歲的人的心情描寫的夠深刻. 若我在我三十歲以前的日子, 做出了什麼充滿勇氣, 充滿熱情的事情, I guess they all started from here.

回到正題, "Music without words."這種純音樂的專輯其實很少引起我的注意, 除了自己的興趣-木吉他演奏之外的純演奏專輯, 我涉獵的實在是不多. 也許是我對音樂性的領悟力太低, 總覺得沒有人聲, 沒有歌詞的音樂, 就失去了聽音樂很大一部份的樂趣.

這就讓我想到今天在火車上聽著戴佩妮的歌, 我記得我以前還滿喜歡做他的曲子, 因為木吉他在裡面角色吃重, 表現的很炫, 而且還算滿通俗的. 特別是黃中岳的編曲, 可以算是我在木吉他伴奏界的偶像之一了, 能收能放, 收放之間又含蓄的得體. 只是聽著聽著, 就很想往下轉, 總覺得缺了什麼東西. 仔細一想, 就是歌詞和曲不太對勁. 吸引我的原來是那個包裝歌曲外表的編曲, 但骨子裡的情感和內涵相較之下, 卻相當貧乏.

再回到Jim Brickman身上. 他的音樂一點都不特別, 音樂的溫度可能近似於迪士尼溫暖的聖誕節賀歲電影, 但在那他軟的有點像無印良品在唱歌的觸鍵底下, 總覺得還是有一點點憂鬱和熱情的蟄伏. 可能是我硬要加上這段吧, 畢竟我還是受不了全然溫暖, 全然光明的音樂. (雖然他後來的幾張專輯還是暴露了他的缺點--他只會彈三個調子的曲子, 過於濫情. 再加上原本一張專輯只有一首加入人聲, 後來加入一堆之後, 不只是他的伴奏品質, 連獨奏品質也跟著拉低了. 有些人一生的經歷和思想, 還是只夠出一兩張專輯. 但講別人講的那麼開心的我, 寫幾首歌出來就不錯了吧...)

我依舊相信, 歡笑中的眼淚, 辛勤工作後的滿足, 會是支持我繼續走下去的兩個力量. 我沒有理由說服我自己, 有多少美好的未來等著我, 也不會對自己的將來悲觀以對, everything that I do, is for now.

推薦專輯: Jim Brickman: [No Words] (1998), [By Heart]

[Music] Across the Universe - Beatles

2005-11-13T00:46:00.000+01:00

在整理blog的分類的同時, 順便把幾篇迷路的文章找回來囉. :P

本來想擺的是beatles原唱的版本,
一直覺得雖然原唱的音質滿糟糕的,
但也是唯一能表達這首歌意境的一個版本.

剛剛聽完覺得還是擺Wainwright在I am Sam的OST上的
這個版本好了. 是有點太悠哉了一點,
但我還滿喜歡這種慵懶中帶有一點點憂鬱的聲音.
(這也應該是我當時在美國第一次聽到的那個版本.)

---

很喜歡這首歌的感覺, 卻不知道為什麼.
John Lennon果然有他的一套.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip awayacross the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world(x4)

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world(x4)

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world (x4)

---
很好笑, 我對這首名曲的認識竟然是因為之前在美國
看到Canon印表機(?)的廣告用這首當背景音樂才去找,
才發現竟然原唱是Beatles.
由此可見我對西洋老歌的熟悉度實在是低到一個境界的.
(I am Sam也是我後來才看的 orz.)

Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razer, that leaves your souls to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you, the only seed.

It is the heart that fears the breaking that never learns to dance.
It is the dream that afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

擁有太害怕受傷的心, 永遠都不知道如何自在的移動自己的身軀,
若太害怕夢醒之後的幻滅, 就從此失去了掌握機會的勇氣,
若是無法接受別人, 自己也同時無法付出,
而太害怕凋零的靈魂, 永遠都不能體會生命的真理.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.

當夜晚顯得寂寞的難以承受, 人生的道路一個人越走越孤單,
當你總覺得真愛只是給幸運兒和強者的恩賜,
記得在嚴冬酷寒的冰雪底下,
總會藏著一顆種子, 在溫暖的春陽照射下, 將成為豔麗的玫瑰.

[Music] There's a Fine Fine Line - Avenue Q

2005-11-09T23:52:00.000+01:00

There's a Fine, Fine Line
From AvenueQ

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

每天都多聽到一首動人的歌的感覺真好,
拿到這樣的曲子, 一定是repeat one, 狠狠的聽他幾萬次.
(偷一下別人的形容詞, 實在太貼切了...)

I do not personally like the word "waste," but it is merely a matter of taste.
I would identify more with the concept conveyed in Eternal Sunshine.
"...just because a relationship doesn't work out in the end,
it doesn't mean that it was time wasted."

But after all, I have to agree that
there's a fine, fine line between (being) together and not.
and that
there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."

[Music] 說不出的告別 - 林志炫

2005-11-08T23:31:00.000+01:00

說不出的告別林志炫

回程的飛機滑進了無邊的天際
一樣的天氣兩種心情
裝滿回憶的行李留在原地是愛的紀念品

這一趟旅行寫完了故事的結局
沒有驚嘆句沒有疑問句
如果我不夠堅定喊出了你的名字
打破沉默的僵局我該說對不起還是稱心如意

我遠遠看著你保持著安全的距離
卻有個聲音在我心裡掙扎著要出去
從你眼睛看不出你是否找到新戀情
那麼憂鬱刺痛著我不可能忘記

我說服我自己沒有我你會更順心
可能你已經雲淡風輕當我是個曾經
是不甘心還是依然愛著你
在告別之後讓他隨風去

記得我曾經那麼愛著你

---

我對這種伴奏簡單, 近乎清唱的歌沒有太大的抵抗力,
即使歌詞有一些部分不知所云(什麼叫"稱心如意"=.=),
也沒辦法...

林志炫的聲音不拿來飆"瞭解"那種變態的高音是有點可惜,
不過把音域往下調, 反而多了一些溫柔的感覺.

還是會期待他的聲音, 他的專輯,
雖然選曲每次都讓我很黑線. =.=

---
不過最後一段我就把他偷來用了:

我說服我自己/沒有我你會更順心/
在告別之後讓它隨風去/

記得我曾經那麼愛著你

[練琴] With Hope - Jacques Stotzem

2005-11-08T01:50:00.000+01:00

最近都在練這首歌,
不知道怎麼形容這首曲子,
好像比較適合鋼琴彈,
但是solo的部分又一定要有吉他的滑音才有那個味道.
總之JS真是我在fingerstyle界的偶像阿...

我發現我現在練歌的效率變的無敵低...
花了兩天抓中間的即興部分(Transcribe好用!),
三天練前面有譜的部分(以前就摸過了, 應該說複習吧, =.=),
這兩天再把前面的和中間接在一起,
終於會背了, 今天還邊看無聊的蝙蝠俠邊練.
還要加上考試那個星期幾乎沒碰琴orzorz...

大概是太久沒有認真練琴, 手都生鏽了吧.
更慘的是, 歌聲也生鏽了, 連萬人迷都唱不好了.=.=

要跟隔壁鄰居說聲抱歉,
最近看到一句話...
"當你練好一首曲子時
最感動的人不是你自己..
也不是你的父母....

最感動的人是你的....鄰居"

Sorry啦, 以後我萬一成名的話會送你一張簽名CD的. :P
(可能要等下輩子了...)

我應該要找時間研究一下music blog的用法...

[Movie] Before Sunset(2004)

2005-11-04T21:01:00.000+01:00

在開始之前我想先補充幾件事情好了,
上一篇寫的時候基本上已經陷入劇情當中,
已經開始練習用英文搭訕, 不是, 是練習用英文寫作文了.

現在用中文還是流利一點. :P
(我的英文好像一直都是高中生程度沒有任何長進...)

也不是對其中的小細節毫無感覺, 只是細節太多,
失智老人想不大起來, 即便是想起來了, 也是很零碎的片段.
即便看了感覺真的很好, 還一直跳躍著看了兩三次. XD

我不喜歡像寫我的生活一般的寫電影, 這樣我覺得很乏味,
我不是要介紹電影給別人, 而是希望把某些對我的生命有意義
的部分留下來. 而且更重要的是, 這種搞維的電影如果要把細節
講的夠清楚, 需要打很多字, 我很懶, 而且文筆不好...
(有沒有對白的網站阿... 還滿不賴的英文對話教學... XD)

---

OK, 少扯點閒話, 這裡是有氣質的氣質區.

Before Sunrise還有一個片段讓我印象深刻, 就是在男女主角
分手之後, 鏡頭帶到男女主角昨夜相處過的許多地點.
清晨的維也納街頭格外的冷清, 跟晚上兩個人在一起的樣子
完全不同, 但當景物出現, 就像男主角當年院子裡的幻覺一樣,
雖然不存在, 但我彷彿可以看到相處的片段在景物中重現.

(Before Sunset續集的意味明顯, 同樣的片段被移到影片的
最前面了.)

另一個會吸引我的原因, 是歐洲和美國文化的奇妙結合.
歐洲的運鏡風格, 加上美國人的談吐,
歐洲的景色, 加上美國電影的劇情線.
Seline雖然是歐洲人, 但她開的玩笑, 和講話的風格, 都非常的
美國式, (尤其是用美國式的口吻開美國人的玩笑, 真是經典XD)
但是也許是偏見, 出自一個法國人的口中, 這樣的話感覺又不會
太沒水準.

Sunset裡最大的不同是, Jesse變成熟了, Seline臉變瘦了 XD.
不過相同的是, 兩個頻率對的人, 不管說的內容是什麼, 都好像
彼此早有聯繫一樣, 話題可以goes on and on and on and on.
好像每個話題都有關連, 但仔細想想又好像沒有這麼強烈的連結.
自然的好像, 偷聽路上情侶的談話一樣.

如果Seline和Jesse真實生活中在一起, 給我的感覺會比
中村獅童和竹內結子現實生活中也在一起的感覺好多了. :P

The ending is so great. No matter what happens next,
that's the perfect way to end this.
"To answer that, it will take the piss out of the whole thing. "

去imdb網站上看, 才知道這部片只花了14天就拍成了.
好電影不見得需要是便當片哩. :)

Before Sunrise is a story about romance,
while Before Sunset is an account for realistic but at the same
time romantic relationships.

也因為在這方面的著墨, Before Sunset更貼近感情的真實面,
不再是一部"就是一夜情"的電影.

我以為我喜歡的是Sunrise, 但真正打動我的, 其實是Sunset才對.

Favorite Quotes:

[Before Sunrise]
Seline: If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed, but... who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.

Seline: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

[Before Sunset]
Jesse: Now I know for sure, you want to know why I wrote this stupid book?
So that you might come to reading it in Paris, I could walk up to you and ask "Where the fxck were you?"
Seline: Do you think I will be here today?
Jesse: I am serious. I think I wrote it in a way that try to find you.

...

Jesse: Oh God, why you weren't there in Vienna?
Seline: I told you why.
Jesse: I know, but I wish you would have been there. Our lives would have been so much different.
Seline: Do you really think so? We might have hated each other.
Jesse: Npw what, like we hate each other right now?

Jesse finally got to the point...

[Before Sunset]
Seline: Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.
Jesse: Yeah. Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past. Can I put it on a bumper sticker? No. You know what? If you wrote a book our that night, that would be a good title.
Seline: Yeah it would be a total different book.
Jesse: And there would be no sex scenes.

我就是愛這種又沈重又詼諧的表達方式.

[Movie] Before Sunrise (1995)

2005-11-04T08:11:00.000+01:00

I have to admit that the movie changes my image about
European people so much. Well, it's not because it gives
some glimpse of hope that I might bump into some pretty
girl on the international train.

I truly love the way they describe a romantic encounter
in this movie--though I am no believer of any romantic
encounter. It's straight-forward and nothing truly taking
my breath away. It's one kind of movie that shows so
many details in the scenes, but you don't get to memorize
the details too well. But still, I can seem to identify with
the main chararters. That's the way love is. All those
trivial things are the most precious ones eventually.

This is my favorite part. I actually watched it over and over.
The two characters went to a record shop, and they were
listening to a record in the listening room.

"No I am not impossible to touch.
I have never wanted you so much.
Come here; come here.
Have I ever laid down by your side,
Babe, let's forget about this pride.
Come here; come here..."

Eyes to eyes, shoulder by shoulder.
They seemed that have wanted to say something,
but nobody broke the silence. They shyed away
from eye contacts, yet they hoped to see thru
each others' eyes. Kinda childish, but that's exactly
why the two teenage-like adults looked so fasincating.
Without a word, they knew they started to feel for
each other. :)

---

And next comes my fantasies... don't get too serious...
Actually the actress is kinda like the type of girls that I
feel for right now: smart, positive, and yet interesting.
(I know she's pretty, but that's not what I am talking
about.)

BTW, she's so cute when she's imitating Americans. XD
I don't know French people can be that attractive
speaking English.

However, it is highly doubtful that this kind of girls would
like a guy like me though. XD

還是把所有文字換成英文比英翻中快一點...

一天看兩部電影真的不是太聰明的事情,
感想明天再說了...

[Music] 微笑的魚

2005-04-30T00:22:00.000+02:00

這是一個陽光的午後, 平常在這樣的天氣, 我應該煩惱要在哪裡留下
在Boston最後的足跡, 但為了老虎王的比賽, 只能先留在圖書館把
星期一要交的一篇paper給解決掉了. (結果要回家了還沒動半個字...)

只帶了這張"微笑的魚"在我的電腦裡, 但剛好適合今天我的心情.
溫和的, 沈靜的, 還有, 淡淡的, 淡淡的憂鬱.

一直很喜歡幾米的東西, 雖然一如往常的, 當一件事情成為流行, 就對
我不再有當初的吸引力. 而幾米獨特的風格, 還是讓我深深著迷, 呃,
應該說, 輕柔的, 貼近我心裡的某個角落.

我還沒看過微笑的魚, 據說有動畫, 我是不怎麼期待的, 有些故事就是
需要講的不那麼清楚才浪漫, 即便幾米變的商業化了, 即便他還是畫
同一個調調的東西, 我還是喜歡幾米+音樂的這個組合, 一樣的有無窮
的想像空間, 這是我覺得成功的創作的一個必要的條件: 可以激盪出
聽者不同的感動, 這種感動不見得是共鳴, 而是可能是有深度的回響.
(動畫就免了...)

我希望有一天我的文字和音樂, 也能有別於現實世界較討喜的簡短,
和充滿感官的刺激, 而回歸平淡, 卻有張力的表達模式.

我相信這個世界所欣賞的, 是有特色, 有自己的風格, 而不是另一種
零落的形式感.

特別推薦:

[貝阿提絲]

　水滴般滴著的　氣泡般消失的名字
　貝阿提絲　貝阿提絲

不敢相信這是黃小禎的聲音, 跟他一開始兩張唱片差太遠了, 簡單的
吉他伴奏, 低沈(沒錯, 是低沈...)的女生和偶爾傳來的回聲, 靜靜的, 不
打擾人的, 訴說著一個故事, 而其中的憂鬱, 又沈重的無法隱藏.

　整個春天你的擁抱　讓我像隻溫暖的貓
　冬天來了你的離去　我又變回冷血的魚
　整個春天你的來去　沒有留下任何痕跡
　像水被魚穿過自動縫合　像魚感覺自己快樂過

[擁有/失去]

這個標題下得太好了, 我從來沒有想過, 其實幾米的故事, 一直都是
在講人生中遇到的所有來來去去, 也就是, 擁有和失去. 認識我的大
概會覺得我比較喜歡"失去"這段, 但我要說這次猜錯囉, 誰要今天是
一個大晴天的午後呢?

這就是幾米厲害的地方, 沈靜, 不代表沒有力量, 憂鬱, 不代表沒有
希望.

[微笑的魚]

我曾去過一個地方
卻不曾從那個地方回來
因為我知道
我應該一路往上爬
墜落是我唯一努力過的想像

老實說, 這個唱歌的人, 我覺得他的聲音, 有點...平凡....
但就是這種平凡, 才能夠說好幾米的故事.
曲調還蠻吸引人的, 只是是比較容易膩的形式而已.

檢討與心得:
這一天幾乎是萬里無雲, 但是一邊是向光, 另一個方向
則會背光,向光那面在太陽真的掉下來之前其實還不難
拍, 只是有的時候兩面拍會有時太over, 有時又太under
而已, 要注意點囉. 但好現象是, 我最後實驗的一些斜線
構圖, 好像還算ok, 下次再來play more with it.

還有我的panning實在是太遜了, 手自己還會抖orz, 總共
只成功兩張, 滿糟的.

另外在後製上, 除了幾張太over, 太under, 飽和度太不夠
之外需要手動調整之外, 其他的圖基本上就直接用Neo的
一次縮圖加銳化就可以ko了.

After Neat Image

在照Celtics的比賽時, 因為swingingdog只有小相機一台,
大部分的照片不是糊調就是因為iso自動拉到320所以
雜訊顆粒很高, 於是我就動了post-procession的念頭.

試了Neo-Imaging的batch-editing功能後覺得不是很滿意,
只好自己來個手動囉.

步驟大概是這樣: 首先用Neo-Imaging自動補光, 再用Neat
Image調一些參數(我什麼都不會就先不調)把雜訊去掉,
結果還挺讓我滿意的.
