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

Fields of Gold





The all time favorite...





所謂燈光美氣氛佳, 正好是911當天的演唱會
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。

Fire on the Mountain




是看臉就知道很有才華, 來自非洲的歌手
唱世界和平來的
雖然說內容跟本人不太同調, but, great MV!!


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...

幸分我一杯羹!

項羽下梁地十餘城,聞成皋破,乃引兵還。漢軍方圍鐘離昧於滎陽東,聞羽至,盡走險阻。羽亦軍廣武,與漢相守。數月,楚軍食少。

項王患之,乃為高祖,置太公其上,告漢王曰:「今不急下,吾烹太公!」
漢王曰:「吾與羽俱北面受命懷王,約為兄弟,吾翁即若翁;必欲烹而翁,幸分我一杯羹!」
項王怒,欲殺之。
項伯曰:「天下事未可知。且為天下者不顧家,雖殺之,無益,只益禍耳!」
項王從之。

i only want to be with you





as smooth as silk...




Dusty Springfield / I Only Want To Be With You





I dont know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesnt matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Oh, oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now hear me tell you
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you

罵王朗







什麼叫對嗆? !!







王朗縱馬而出。
孔明於車上拱手,王朗在馬上欠身答禮。

朗曰︰「久聞公之大名,今幸一會。公既知天命、識時務,何故興無名之師?」

孔明曰︰「吾奉詔討賊,何謂無名?」

朗曰︰「天數有變,神器更易,而歸有德之人,此自然之理也。
曩自桓、靈以來,黃巾倡亂,天下爭橫。
降至初平、建安之歲,董卓造逆,傕、汜繼虐;
袁術僭號於壽春,袁紹稱雄於鄴上;
劉表占據荊州,呂布虎吞徐郡︰盜賊蜂起,奸雄鷹揚,社稷有累卵之危,生靈有倒懸之急。
我太祖武皇帝,掃清六合,席捲八荒;萬姓傾心,四方迎德︰非以權勢取之,實天命所歸也。
世祖文帝,神聖文武,以膺大統,應天合人,法堯禪舜,處中國以治萬邦,豈非天心人意乎?
今公蘊大才,報大器,欲自比於管樂,何乃強欲逆天理,背人情而行事耶?
豈不聞古人云︰『順天者昌,逆天者亡。」
今我大魏帶甲百萬,良將千員。諒腐草之螢光,怎及天心之皓月?
公可倒戈卸甲,以禮來降,不失封侯之位。國安民樂,豈不美哉!」

孔明在車上大笑曰︰
「吾以為漢朝大老元臣,必有高論,豈期出此鄙言!
吾有一言,諸軍靜聽︰昔桓、靈之世,漢統陵替,宦官釀禍;國亂歲凶,四方擾攘。
黃巾之後,董卓、傕、汜等接踵而起,遷劫漢帝,殘暴生靈。
因廟堂之上,朽木為官;殿陛之間,禽獸食祿。
狼心狗行之輩,滾滾當朝;奴顏婢膝之徒,紛紛秉政。以致社稷邱墟,蒼生塗炭。
吾素知汝所行!世居東海之濱,初舉孝廉入仕。
理合匡君輔國,安漢興劉;何期反助逆賊,同謀篡位!
罪惡深重,天地不容!天下之人,願食汝肉!」

「今幸天意不絕炎漢,昭烈皇帝繼統西川。
吾今奉嗣君之旨,興師討賊。
汝既為諂諛之臣,只可潛身縮首,苟圖衣食;安敢在行伍之前,妄稱天數耶!
皓首匹夫!蒼髯老賊!
汝即日將歸於九泉之下,何面目見二十四帝乎!
老賊速退!可叫反臣與吾共決勝負!」

王朗聽罷,氣滿胸膛,大叫一聲,撞死於馬下。

跨越宇宙





甲殼蟲合唱團的世界名曲 Across the Universe
至今大概被翻唱了500遍了
美國偶像, 澳洲偶像都愛唱, 不知道哪天台灣偶像也來挑戰看看




Beatles / Across the Universe (original)




要死不活, 最棒的版本, mv讚, vocal更讚
Fiona Apple / Across the Universe




這位大嬸不知是哪位, 聲音有點像 Enya
搞得好像在過聖誕節, 又像在宣傳世界和平
最後沒事去拍一些小朋友的喉結是怎樣...
Laibach / Across the Universe




美國版的明天會更好
個人十分討厭大雜燴大合唱
不過既然這麼多大咖, 看看
VA / 2005 Grammy Award - Across the Universe




收在2002年"我是山姆"原聲帶
裡面有可愛地 Dakota Fanning 蘿莉控請進

Rufus Wainwright / Across the Universe






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

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
That 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

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth
Are ringing through my open views
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love
Which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe



Beatles
Across the Universe
