David Gate的Songbook
偶然的一個夜裡,聽到莫文蔚為偶像劇求婚事務所翻唱的英文情歌IF,
一種甜甜的幸福感覺讓我興起尋找original版的渴望.
David Gates 原來是70年代美國西岸搖滾團體Bread 的Keyboard加主唱. 而IF是Gate最成功的作品之一.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Sitting,Waiting, Wishing(In Between Dreams)
by Jack Johnson
I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you would see the signs
But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the lord no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody
Don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines because they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
You keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Because waiting on love
Ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

幫Blog或文章加音樂
最近常常被問到要怎麼在BLOG放音樂,其實放音樂跟CSS語法無關,在無名有些欄位是可以允許使用html語法的(千萬別進去CSS修改面板裡面找位置放...包準你找到死也試不出來的).首先:將音樂檔或是影像檔上傳到網頁空間(可以允許你放網頁html檔的那種..but試過的yahoo跟hinet都不成功..最穩的就像是學校主機,不過等畢業就沒辦法用也是個問題).
好啦..重點來了.我知道大家要找網路空間不容易,現在有個簡單一點的辦法,日本有個網站專門提供BLOG使用的音樂,或許沒辦法放自己喜歡聽的歌曲,不過這網站提供音樂種類頗豐富,也省去找什麼鬼伺服器來放音樂囉!

接下來找到自己喜歡的音樂之後,網頁下方就會出現連結檔案的語法如下:

The Turtles~Happy together~
廣告裡,珍妮佛的魅力比不上海尼根啤酒,這支廣告營造的品牌形象不用多說,令我興奮的是配樂“Happy together”.第一次聽到是在1997年王家衞的電影 “春光乍洩”的預告片段出現,同時歌名也成為電影的英文譯名.而因為配樂想去看這部電影(人生中要作的事實在太多,想看的電影也太多,沒看不見得會是遺憾,看了不一定沒有遺憾!).簡單復古的旋律卻深刻的被記憶下來(這首歌是有些歷史了!).就像是南加州的陽光,沙灘帶來愉悅的印象,但又似乎隱含墮落天使的戲謔.
原唱團體 “The Turtles” (第一張專輯用The Crossfires) 是 1965年由Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman在加州成立的, 曲風是當時流行的*surf-rock, 第一首發行單曲翻唱Bob Dylan "It Ain't Me Babe." 隨即登上Top 10的熱門排行榜. 1967年發行Happy together 被認為是最成功的一首.
很多歌聽個十遍也記不起它的旋律,有些歌只聽一次就難以忘記,就像是人跟人的相遇,磁場對了就是會碰在一起. “Happy together” 就是其中一首.
*註60年代,美國太平洋沿岸的流行文化都加上了surf, 所以除了surf-rock還有surf-pop,其著名團體 "The Beach Boys"
Lyric:
Happy Together
(G. Bonner - A. Gordon)
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you,and you for me
So happy together
[repeat chorus]
[repeat verse 3; harmonize on first three lines]
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
[repeat verse 3]
Coda:
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)

Yanni~~New Age Music
Yanni的音樂被稱為新世紀音樂(New Age),他也是所謂New Age Music領域中最受歡迎及廣為人知的音樂家之一.1954出生於希臘地中海邊的一個小鎮Kalamata
美國唸書的時候曾經組過搖滾樂團Chameleon Days擔任Keyboard並巡迴Minnesota, Wisconsin, Chicago, Iowa, and the Dakotas.之後厭倦樂團生活開始獨立創作.
早期他運用大量的電子樂器與古典音樂的元素做結合的創作,當然引來不少爭議.1990年,"Reflections of Passion"在美國獲得雙白金,同時也證明Yanni的音樂開始受到歡迎.
1993年在希臘衞城(Acropolis)帕德嫩神廟(Parthenon)前的表演使他的音樂生涯獲得更大的肯定,之後他開始旅遊各地作巡迴音樂會,1996年在紫禁城,泰姬瑪哈陵表演吸引了數十萬的樂迷(同時有實況轉撥,不巧就被我看見了在紫禁城的那場)
