Turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtains
Oh, let jah moon come shining in -
Into our life again,

But it seems I was never on time
Still I wanna get through to you, girlie
On time - on time

I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good lovin
Oh, I - oh, I - oh, I,
Say, I want to give you some good, good lovin

Turn your lights down low
Never try to resist, oh no!
Oh, let my love come tumbling in -
Into our life again,

And I want you to know right now,

And I want you to know right now,

Ooh, let my love - ooh, let my love come tumbling in -
Into our life again
Oh, I want to give you some good, good lovin

John Lennon / Stand by Me






When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Sting / Fields of gold / live @ Italy, Sep, 11, 2001




Sting / Fields of gold / original version




奇怪的版本
Sting ft. I Muvrini / Fields of gold



Perfect voice!!
Eva Cassidy / Fields of Gold





Gregorian / Fields of gold





You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold



Sting
Fields of Gold
Ten Summoner's Tales (1993)





The story is chronological. It is about courtship, marriage, and eventual death. The two people in the song meet, court, fall in love (at this point, he reveals that he has never really made such a strong promise/ commitment to someone) but feels he is ready to now. "See the children run," their offspring and the "jealous sky" refer to the Heavens. Even Heaven is jealous of their love/relationship. The esteemed sun is jealous. Eventually, he dies and tells his love that they will always remember their love specifically, when she thinks of him, he wants to be personified as such... walking in fields of gold (barley).

保時捷的意義




…花亭鳥就是這麼一種鳥。但如何評估可能的炮友的基因呢?

動物沒有時間與許多炮友各生它十個孩子,然後看誰的孩子長得又快又好,將來生養得最多。(存活的成年子女數量,是唯一的判準。)動物必須依賴交配訊號(例如歌唱或儀示化的表演)作為評估的方便準據。為什麼那些交配訊號是優良的基因的指標,甚至有人懷疑它們是優良基因的指標?只要想想我們自己挑選配偶時遭遇的困難,大概思過半矣,怎樣評估可能對象的真實財富,親職技巧,與遺傳品質呢?

從這個角度切入,想一想雌花亭鳥發現了一個它喜歡的花亭,那個花亭代表了什麼?它立刻可以斷定的,是「那是隻很強壯的雄鳥」,因為那個花亭的重量,是雄鳥體重的幾百倍,而且有些裝飾品重達它體重的一半,必須從十幾二十公尺外拾回來。它知道雄鳥非常靈巧,因為把幾百根樹枝編成小屋、塔、或牆,並不容易。雄鳥必然很聰明,不然無法依據複雜的設計建造成品。雄鳥視力,記憶力都不錯,不然無法在叢林中找到適當的建材,裝飾品。雄鳥必然懂得生存之道,不然無法活得長久,學會足夠的技巧,建造吸引雌鳥的花亭。還有,那隻雄鳥必然社會地位很高,因為雄鳥沒事就較量高低,而且會互相偷取建材,裝飾品,甚至破壞他人的花亭。威震群雄的雄鳥,地位才高,建造的花亭才不受破壞。

因此,花亭全面地反映了雄鳥的基因品質。就好像女人讓他的追求者受一系列的考驗,先是舉重測驗,然後縫紉、下棋、視力、拳擊,最後的勝利者才有權成為入幕之賓,一晌貪歡。興花亭鳥比較起來,我們人類為了挑選配偶而設計的基因品質測驗,簡直莫名其妙。我們太看重外表的枝微末節,例如臉蛋和耳垂長度,或性感與名車,那些都不能反映基因的品質。美麗、性感的女人,或瀟灑、擁有保時捷的男人,往往體內有些糟糕的基因,表現出其他唬爛的品質,是個事實,儘管令人哀傷。請想一想,這個事實造成過多少人間悲劇。難怪那麼多婚姻以離婚收場,我們直到最近才覺悟:我們選擇的本領太差,而我們的標準太膚淺。

我們很容易理解這個概念。只要想想我們日常見到的廣告。例如英俊的男人拿著閃閃發光的鑽戒,送給似乎有生育能力的年輕女性。鑽戒有什麼用?又不能吃。但是任何一個頭腦清楚的女性都知道:鑽戒代表這個男人動員資源的能力(以及他供應子女和她的資源數量)。要是他拿出來的是一盒巧克力,即使可以吃,也遜多了。對了,巧克力含有有用的熱量,那有怎樣?什麼阿狗阿貓都買得起巧克力。另一方面,男人買得起不能吃的鑽戒,就有錢供應他的女人以及他生的孩子,而且他賺取那些金錢的能力,例如知慧、堅毅、精力等等,也能遺傳給孩子。

小朋友的手抖很大
Asa / Fire on the Mountain





Asa / Fire on the Mountain (Acoustic)



There is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running.

I wake up in the morning - tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child and everybody's watching.

Now, I'm looking out my window and what do I see?
I see an army of a soldier man marching across the street, hey...

Hey Mr. soldier man, tomorrow is the day you go to war
Boy you are fighting for another man's 'cause and you don't even know him

What did they say to make you so blind to your conscience and reason?
Could it be love for your country or for the gun you use in killing?

So there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running.

Hey, Mister Lover-man can I get a chance to talk to you?
'cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse and you don't know what you do.

So you say you have a lover and you love her like no other
So you buy her a diamond that someone has died on
- don't you think there's something wrong with this?

Tell me, who's responsible for what we teach our children?
Is it the internet or the stars on television?
Why oh why? Why oh, why oh? Oh!

So little Lucy turns sixteen and like the movie she's been seeing
she has a lover in her daddy - she can't tell nobody till she makes the evening news.

For there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running. Oh yes.

One day the river will overflow and there'll be nowhere for us to go
and we will run, run...wishing we had put out the fire, oh no...

For there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running. So yeah, yeah, yeah!

There is fire on the mountain, (fire in Africa) and nobody seems to be on the run (everywhere, can’t they see eh?)
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no-one is a' running (no-one is a running)

There is fire on the mountain (fire, fire, fire) and nobody seems to be on the run...
