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





jai guru deva om是是梵文,大概解作:

Jai      Guru    Deva Om
Live Forever  Teacher  Heavenly One  The Vibration of the Universe
永生    導師   天之驕子     宇宙的變動

...then u wouldn't have to say da u luv me... 'cos i'd already no
...more than words



落落長的這首歌的內容可歸納為以下幾點
1. 別講話
2. 閉眼睛
3. 抓住我
4. 你想說的, 我早就知道瞭, 省省別說吧...




有夠難唱.....
Extreme - More than Words





Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cause I'd already know

More than words
More than words

Show Me





沒新貨聽, 最近把 John Legnend 重覆放了200遍
有故事的歌總是比較好賣...當然也比較好聽




這段錄自PTT RnB_Soul版
在1999年的Guinea,兩名青少年 Yaguine Koita 和Fod Tounkara因為忍受不了他們與同胞在非洲所受的痛苦,決定偷渡到比利時,他們身上帶著出生證明、照片、成績單以及一封訴說他們處境的信。信的第一段提到
"...we write this letter to speak to you about the objective of our journey and suffering of us, the children and young people in africa."
但不幸的是,他們由於過冷,在飛行途中被凍死
Show Me Campaign希望能改善非洲艱困的環境,並且讓更多人知道非洲的處境後加入協助的行列。

John Legend / Show Me, live @ Royal Albert Hall




I realized as I lay down to sleep
We haven't spoke in weeks
So many things that I'd like to know
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make believe
But what is reality?
Where do we go?
What do we know?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light
Show me the way
Show that you're listening

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you
For all you've given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me
I can't stop questioning
O God of love, peace, and mercy
Why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening
When people go
Why do they go?
Why don't you choose me?
But someday I know
I'm gonna go
I hope you're waiting for me

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Maybe we'll talk
Some other night
Right now I'll take it easy
Won't spent my time
Waiting to die
Enjoy the life I'm living

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

兩種情況





i only think of u on two occassions
--- that's DAY and NITE




Babyface 與另外二位不認識的大叔在80年組的團體...Deele...
這首歌是 87 年出的, 這是什麼舞, 實在太酷了
學起來保證迷死人不嘗命
Deele - Two Ocassions




Babyface不愧是拔辣歌天王, 狗血教主
馬大嬸在 05 年的 We belong together 裡有提到...
"Then i hear babyface, 'i only think of u', it's breaking my heart..."

Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

ps. 1 為什麼大嬸最近的 mv 都喜歡穿內衣在家裡晃來晃去啊?
ps. 2 男主角是 prison break 的帥哥男主角 michael, 難怪很眼熟
ps. 3 徐娘半老兩隻勇壯的大腿還是蠻迷人的 (羞)




A summer love is beautiful
But it's not enough
To satisfy emotions
That are shared between us
A winter love is cozy
But I need so much more
It just intensifies my wants
To have a love that endures


'Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season is
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are


I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right


An autumn love is special
At this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone
Does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I'm glad to say in my heart
I know my love's lasting

殺了我...輕輕地...




Lauryn Hill (修女也瘋狂裡的小女生) 小時候的組的 hip-hop 團體 Fugees
翻唱更古老的 Roberta Flack 阿姨所演唱的 Killing Me Softly
那A就齁聽!!!!
希爾姐姐龜起來就是十年, 什麼時候才要出唱片啦??!! (敲碗)





Fugees - Killing Me Softly




Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly





Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Is the door closed?



Harry: Listen, Dexter, whatever you think is right, is wrong. He asks you a question. I what you to think your answer first and tell him the exact oppisite, okay?


Doctor: So, let's just jump in, alright? Does it make you angry when your teacher tell you what to do?

Dexter: [Stumbled] No.

Doctor: Are you often bored?

Dexter: No.

Doctor: Have you ever...killed an animal?

Dexter: No, never.


Harry: You really impressed me, son. I don't know how you did it, but a great job.

Dexter: I just pretend to be someone else.

Harry: It was working, keep doing it. I mean even the doctor didn't see the monsters inside you. I mean not monsters, just you know, you have these dark urges. Anyway, good job.

我滴寶貝上哪兒去瞭?





黑人究竟哪一條基因跟我們不一樣?
如此拔辣又沒營養的靡靡之音, 幹為什麼黑鬼唱起來好聽的他媽的一蹋糊塗?




John Legend - Where Did My Baby Go (live @ Royal Albert Hall)




Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

I'm searching for the lover that I knew
have you see her
where did she go
feels like I just lost my only friend

plains subsided colours faded
love just got so complicated
wished that I could see her smile again

so if you see her out there
tell her i'm still here
waiting for the date when she will reappear

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

Maybe I was wrong and I
Ignored her for too long and I
Didn't even notice when she slipped away

maybe while I lay fast asleep
when out into the night she creeps
i'll leave the light on
so she will come back someday

if you see her out there
tell her its not fair
and the life just not the same when she's not here

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
Just what i'm suppose to do

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

get back soon
get back soon
oh woo...
oh...
oh woo..

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
Just what i'm suppose to do

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon
get back soon
oh get back soon...

Me, and Those Dreaming Eyes of Mine






...Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams





D'Angelo / Me, and Those Dreamin' Eyes of Mine





When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry
Then I'd dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become a reality
Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh
Cause you're the most precious thing
That my dreaming eyes has ever seen
So I'll continue to dream
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

Is it just that you're the finest little thing
That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far
Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see
Something like me being with you, or you being with me

Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass
I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad
But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen
Just like I do in all my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.

這盤棋...




棋盤就是世界
棋子就是宇宙的現象
比賽規則就是所謂的自然定律
對手隱身不見

但我們知道他一向公平而有耐心
然而慘痛的經驗告訴我們
他絕對不會忽視任何錯誤
也絕對不肯寬容, 原諒無知


赫胥黎 Thomas Huxley
