Time Of My Life

——老实说,如果不是因为看了NBC的开幕式,我都不晓得这首歌,来自David Cook在美国偶像的冠军歌曲。两个字就是“好正”,我觉得NBC在最后的片段剪辑里面放这首歌很适合当时的开幕式气氛,我现在觉得很适合现在的中国,很适合现在在竞技场上面所有的运动员。

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something

I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

不太Urban Feel的Urban Emotions

——一向很少拿一只碟来说事,今晚无聊,所以就拿最近收得的张敬轩新碟《Urban Emotion》来发表一下谬论。张敬轩一个工作在香港的广州仔,所以无论如何来说都算是讨得广州人的喜欢,而且跟香港人来说也没有太大的区域歧视,好歹这一两年来努力也算是有点结果了。

——这张新碟号称是《Urban Emotion》,但恕我愚昧,真的听不出什么Urban Feel,跟林忆莲当年的《都市触觉》差好多条街。不过总体来说还是听得入耳的。成只碟只讲有印象的那些吧:

——听得最多的是《樱花树下》,不过听多了感觉风格就好像《笑忘书》一样了。

——《不吐不快》如果拿去唱K的话,头几句就已经唱傻一堆人了,头两句还是有点林夕Feel的,但是第三句居然爆了个“吹水”这么俗的词,搞到几乎不敢信填词人上面写的是林夕,还以为是黄伟文了。

——《狐》让我想起了陈奕迅的《白玫瑰》,没办法金玉在前,不想比较联系都不行。这种迷离感觉还是Eason好点。

——《闹鬼爱情》是首很调皮的歌,但是给一些上了年纪的已婚调皮歌手,好似Eason或者林海峰来唱的话,会更加“生鬼”。

——在这只碟里面可以听到张敬轩做了很多尝试,一直都觉得他不够气像学友那样唱很有力很激情的歌,这张碟里面也有好几首歌发现在演唱的时候,Hins很用力地去唱,但是感觉Hins唱高音比好多新进歌手都OK,但是还是缺乏那种浑厚的感觉。跟那个Rihanna一起合作的《Hate that I love you》,算是国际合作了,不过就算有粤语和国语两个版本给我印象到现在还不算深。

——讲了一通,好像是弹多过赞,可能是我把Hins当作一线歌手来看到,难免期待会高了。不过这张碟还是能够在开车上下班的时候听听的,起码听起来有舒服的感觉。不知道什么时候张敬轩会重新提起笔,重新变回一个创作歌手呢?其实挺喜欢当年《My Way》和《断点》时期的那个唱作的Hins。

许美静的《如此》

——最近似乎喜欢半夜独守空房放歌,在家里因为老婆出差,床边书桌只有我一人,现在在外面出差,更是可以在自己房间为所欲为(不要想歪了)。这次随机出来的是许美静的《如此》,很短很简单的词,但是配上许美静很暖的声音,晚上听起来很舒服,可惜啊,现在的她出来的新闻都不是很好的。

——Anyway啦,谨以此曲献给我远在米国的老婆大人。

如此

演唱:许美静
词 曲:陈佳明 编:吴庆隆

在迷乱现实中梦想
是如此的匆忙
在虚幻城市中荡漾
是如此茫然
在变幻中寻觅永恒
是如此的简单
在漫长时空里爱你
是如此短暂
想与你乘着流失的时光
不在乎是沙漠或海洋
就算全世界都暗淡
你始终在我的心上
想与你飞向未知的远方
不理会那身后的喧嚷
就算当时间都停止
我依然守在你身旁

天荒爱未老

——今晚要准备后天出差给BP讲课的PPT和实验,这么无聊的事情肯定是要打开iPod在笔记本上面放放歌,伴奏一下了。这种安静的时候,最适合还是Vivian的歌了。然后就听到今天写的这首《天荒爱未老》,钢琴响起,美人靓声…… *^_^* 再次向永远的玉女掌门,90年代少男少女的偶像致敬。

天荒爱未老

A long and lasting love
這世上已不多記載
你卻是我心中所想
真心說愛是漫長
求天荒愛未老

A long and lasting love
我每日盼終得到愛
每次望你心中只想
可將過去換未來
求天荒愛未老

盼永遠心相通不說半句只懂相愛
難改癡心愛一生都不夠 Ooh
獻上我溫馨的愛 暖意遍體早掩蓋
投入深深一吻中

A long and lasting love
每個夢裡關心滿載
你正是我此生主宰
不須愛意比蒼海
求天荒愛未老

A long and lasting love
我每日盼終得到愛
每次望你心中只想
可將過去換未來
求天荒愛未老

盼永遠心相通不說半句只懂相愛
難改癡心愛一生都不夠 Ooh
獻上我溫馨的愛 暖意遍體早掩蓋
投入深深一吻中

A long and lasting love
每個夢裡關心滿載
你正是我此生主宰
不須愛意比蒼海
求天荒愛未老
求天荒愛未老
求天荒愛未老

A Long And Lasting Love

歌手:Crystal Gayle

A long and lasting love
Not many people find it
But those who do their whole life through
Put their heart and soul behind it
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I’ve always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I’d really seen love
A long and lasting love
I never thought that I would meet someone so beautiful
I never thought I see how well I ‘ve been
tonight I will show you that I love something so beautiful
And I will seal it with a kiss
A long and lasting love
We share for many reasons
A special bond
That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
someone I can’t care for
someone through the love for the rest of my life
a long and lasting love
I never thought that I would meet someone so beautiful
never thought I see how well I’ve been
tonight I will show you that I love something beautiful
and I’ll seal it with a kiss
a long and lasting love
Is what I’ve always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I’d really seen love
A long and lasting love

Hero

——今天忽然又翻旧货,找到这首Mariah Carey的《Hero》。因为在这个月不知道哪个台的节目里面就播过这首歌,配合当时的节目,相当的点题。希望大家不要遗忘那些在第一线抢险救灾的战士。还有那些在灾区坚强面对生活的普通老百姓,因为他们本身也是Hero。

——放一段视频伴着歌词来听吧,旧是旧了点,不过年轻纯情的样子比03年在NBA为Michael Jordan退役演唱时的样子好看多了。

Hero

Sung By “Mariah Carey”

There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid
Of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It’s a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Lord knows……
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone
Tear them away
hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you’ll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you…
That a hero lies in you……
