當年許志安一首《爛泥》歌詞是這樣的「願可做你 腳下那堆爛泥」,到近年《愛與誠》「做隻貓 做隻狗 不做情人」被唱得街知巷聞,緊接的是今期大熱的側田,他一首《好人》提到「天都不愛我 立心孤立我 平凡的人若提及情份便顯得不配麼」。究竟何謂慘情?慘到覺得自己被老天爺孤立,甚至慘到連人都不做,要做一堆泥、做隻貓、做隻狗… …偏偏很多人都喜歡這種近乎自虐式的歌詞,也許一句「同學愛新鮮 戀愛大過天」正好解釋時下年青人的想法。可能是香港人身在福中不知福,偶然失戀,都會被描寫成天大的慘情事件。
而我呢?我比較喜歡聽一些溫情洋溢的歌曲,就像是《雨人》或《慶幸》這一種,也許我算是一個幸福小男人吧!
那一年我是在電影院內觀賞這套電影的,這部電影沒有在我腦海留下特別深刻的印象,很多情節都已經忘記了。
直到幾星期前聽 903 Wasabi《短期租約》節目播放了一曲《I Believe》,再一次勾起了我對這部電影的回憶。這天心血來潮,終於在家重溫了一次《我的野蠻女友》,現在再回味這套電影,反而覺得比第一次看時感動得多,好一部笑中有淚的電影。
感動位有以下幾幕︰
很喜歡這套電影並非如很多韓國電影一樣,用上大量悲天憫人的橋段去搾取觀眾眼淚,反而淡淡的劇情鋪排,讓觀眾不期然的掉下淚來。
我很喜觀戲內野蠻女友彈奏鋼琴時所演奏的那一首歌,倒有點衝動去找回這張原聲大碟,不知道在甚麼地方還有售呢?

正如很多人一樣,在我中學時代也曾經喜歡過很多歌手,可是隨著年月的變遷,以往喜歡的,如今已不再欣賞。
周華健是一位少數由以前到現在十多年間我依舊喜歡的歌手,聽著新專輯《雨人》,又再一次聽到那把熟悉溫暖的聲音,感動依然,感覺就像再遇一位老朋友,也勾起了以往的一些回憶。聽他的歌對於我而言不單是一種消閒途徑,也是我記憶的一部份。
走過全盛時期,近年變得比較少產的周華健,更是用心去做好每一張專輯,細心聆聽他近年的幾張專輯,就會發覺他的作品比以前的更一絲不苟,這也是感動的泉源所在。
《雨人》
好想就從那一個夜晚開始
下起雨 一直沒有放過睛
我隔著每把傘 飄浮在人群裏
慢慢地 以為身邊還有你
小氣的擁著那些你的記憶
一點點 就夠我看到彩虹
全世界 的顏色 全留在 你那裏
我只有 不斷一直迎著雨
我相信我愛你
蒙上眼 手交給你
慢慢的愛
心在黑暗中
共要一雙眼睛
我要不斷的愛你
不斷拼湊的自己
生命中所有好不好的過去
仿佛都在等我遇見你
來自 John Legend 2004 年推出《Get Lifted》專輯的大熱作品《Ordinary People》- 一首我很喜歡的作品,尤其是在格林美頒獎典禮中看到他自彈自唱的演繹,更令我驚嘆 John Legend 的音樂造藝。
近日不斷聽這張《Get Lifted》專輯,John Legend 帶點沙啞的聲線完全襯托出 Soul 及 R&B 音樂的自由奔放感覺,大碟內的所有歌曲都很耐聽,也難怪這張專輯在推出後有不錯的口碑,更令他以新人之姿奪得多個格林美重要獎項。
要選碟內我最喜歡的歌曲,除了這首《Ordinary People》外,Soul 味十足的《Let’s Get Lifted Again》也是我的心頭好。
Ordinary People
Girl im in love with you
This ain’t the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday
[Bridge]
I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we’ll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
[Verse 2]
This ain’t a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya’ll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it’s heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way
[Bridge]
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it’s not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
[Verse 3]
Take it slow
Maybe we’ll live and learn
Maybe we’ll crash and burn
Maybe you’ll stay, maybe you’ll leave,
maybe you’ll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won’t survive
But maybe we’ll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
