Y!Song(3)—-”Perfect Day”

会介绍这首歌是因为看了这部经典的cult片《猜火车》,电影本身有多棒我就不多说了,原声带也是堆满重量级作品,最印象深刻的是片中主角Renton处于死亡边缘时候响起的这首Lou Reed的”Perfect Day”,结合那画面我真是被震住了,一种说不出的感觉。这首陈奕迅和杨乃文有一起翻唱,所以没听过原唱的人听了也会觉得耳熟。

直接放上这个片段吧。

just a perfect day
drink sangria in the park
and then later, when it gets dark, we’ll go home
just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
then later a movie too, and then home

oh it’s such a perfect day
i’m glad i spent it with you
oh such a perfect day
you just keep me hanging on

just a perfect day
problems all left alone
weekenders on our own
it’s such fun

just a perfect day
you make me forget myself
i thought i was someone else
someone good

you’re going to reap just what you sow

——————————————————–

这部电影最后那段独白真是超经典的:

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc and electrical tin openers… Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life…But why would I want to do a thing like that?

————————————-

Just choose your fu*king life…….

过年

转眼间五天的春节假期就这样结束了,连续的阴雨冷冻天气也和假期一起结束。超级懒虫我到现在才借着更新Windows Live Writer的时候来写一下日志,真是有点鄙视我自己啊。

回顾和展望的东西好像也没什么好写的了,因为元旦的时候也发出过一样的感慨,不过那时却没有春节这种强烈的“迎来新年”的感觉,毕竟中国传统的春节才是真正辞旧迎新的跨度。这五天和以前一样,都是走亲访友和聚餐,喝酒当然也是少不了的了。看到朋友们有的都是到外面旅游过年,真的是有些羡慕,可是现在的我就是没这种时间,只能指望今年的公休了,老是闷在一个地方最后会起肖的。

去年的春节完成了房子的任务,今年似乎应该完成另外一件大事,不过到目前为止一切都还多少动静,希望缘分能早日到来。

我真的是一个满没效率的人,床头堆了好几期的《城市画报》和《明日风尚》还没怎么看,移动硬盘上新的电影是越装越多,也没消耗掉一些,在家里窝着的时候效率永远是最低的。

最近唯一看过的电影是《艋舺》(对了昨天还去电影院看了成龙的《大兵小将》),这片实在是没想到能在春节的时候看到,可是网络就是这么的神奇。比起08年的台片神话《海角七号》,这片真的是好看太多太多了。虽然是黑帮题材,但是看完给人感觉这些小混混的打斗场景只是形式,电影更多要表达的是兄弟的情谊和一种对过往青春岁月的缅怀。很幸运我是讲闽南语长大的孩子,看这部电影,如果不懂闽南语的话应该看不出里面的精彩之处吧,包括很多其他台湾电影都是这样。闽南语对于其他地区的人来说,似乎比粤语难懂许多,这可能和香港文化长久以来的强势有关,而台湾文化虽然也深入人心,但那些最多人看的综艺节目和主流流行歌手还是以国语为主。电影倒是比较坚守阵地的,也是最反映生活的。

这片的OST由陈珊妮主导制作,献唱的歌手阵容也满强大的,而且每首都超好听啊!在最近的豆瓣音乐榜上这张OST已经排到第一位了。我最喜欢陈珊妮和阮经天合唱的那首“Once”,爵士曲风的歌放在电影配乐里面永远是最有feel的;蔡健雅的”You come to my head”也很棒,超级悲伤的抒情曲目啊;草蜢的“爱情陷阱”让我前阵子去KTV狂点谭咏麟原版的来怀旧,最喜欢那前奏,不过第一次听到那前奏却是我读小学时候听到的软硬天师的“广播道FANS杀人事件”,这段前奏在那歌里面出现了好多次用来串场;李玖哲唱英文歌真的很棒,希望有一天他能抛掉商业考量出一张英文专辑,翻唱的也没关系,看我们大同玩得多自如。

讲到音乐我就像在自说自话,毫无逻辑可言,有点对不起观众了呵呵。

希望自己和所有的亲人朋友新的一年都能越过越好!

Y!Song(2)—-“These are the days”

果然我没法做到真正的”每日一歌“,呵呵,太忙太懒太没效率了。

这次要介绍的这首是我前几天在豆瓣电台听到的,英国的新派爵士青年Jamie Cullum的”These are the days“,收录在他04年发行的第二张专辑—–让他一炮而红的《Twentysomething》里。

他翻唱了很多经典的爵士名曲,比如Billie Holiday的“What a Difference a Day Made”,经典歌舞电影《雨中曲》主题曲”Singing in the rain”,我喜欢这两首要甚过于今天介绍的这首”These are the days”,因为他翻唱得太好听了!现在的年轻歌手玩爵士的也不少,但是玩出花样玩出个性的不多,Jamie Cullum是那种会让没听过爵士的年轻人立马爱上爵士的歌手,他的歌声可以很沧桑很深情,却也可以很high很狂野,一首歌里面会有很多情绪起伏,编曲很大胆,比如”Singing in the rain”跟原版真的是完全不一样的感觉,节奏感鲜明,除了jazz外有点rock又有点soul。

“These are the days”属于jazz偏pop一点,是他哥哥Ben为他而写的,琅琅上口,适合在KTV里面唱(很显然KTV里是没这歌的)。

These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don’t want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile

These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight

These are the days
These are the days
These are the days

I’ve thought you said that love would last forever
Leave and that the tears would end for good
I told you that we get through any weather
Maybe that didn’t work out
But we did the best we could

These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

PS. 前年看过的一部感人的家庭题材电影《Grace is gone》的同名主题曲也是他唱的,当时一直听却没注意到他。

“Grace is gone”…….
