Fools Garden - Lemon Tree 檸檬樹

相信這首西洋老歌大家都不陌生、能哼上兩句吧！歌詞簡單，旋律輕快，至今仍是常常被翻唱的經典曲目。

很小的時候我就聽過這首歌，雖然不知道歌詞，只要點播我還是會開心得跟著音樂哼唱，一段很有趣的記憶，然而看到歌詞以後，才發現這首歌和我的回憶是極大的反差，心境是多鬱悶無奈，想不透為什麼你能看見寬廣的蔚藍天空，而我眼裡只有酸澀的檸檬樹，心中渴望改變，到頭來卻鬼打牆，困在原地。

I'm sitting here in the boring room

待在無趣的房間裡

It's just another rainy Sunday  afternoon

又是個下雨的週日下午

I'm wasting my time

再次虛度光陰

I got nothing to do

沒事好做

I'm hanging around

遊手好閒

I'm waiting for you

等待著你

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

卻什麼也沒發生

I'm driving around in my car

開著車閒晃

I'm driving too fast

開太快

I'm driving too far

開太遠

I'd like to change my point of view

也想改變腦中的想法啊

I feel so lonely

是多麼孤單啊

I'm waiting for you

一直苦等著你

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

但我想什麼也不會改變

I wonder how

想不透如何

I wonder why

想不透為何

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

我卻只看見黃色檸檬樹

I'm turning my head up and down

試著顛倒看看

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

試著左看右看

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

我依然只看見檸檬樹

I'm sitting here

坐在這

I miss the power

想念以往的元氣

I'd like to go out taking a shower

也想起身出門、洗個澡

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

但我彷彿烏雲籠罩

I feel so tired

怎麼也提不起勁

Put myself into bed

只好躺回床上

While nothing ever happens and I wonder

想著又是一成不變的一天

Isolation is not good for me

孤獨一點也不好

Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

一點也不想孤單的坐在這檸檬樹上

I'm stepping around in the desert of joy

在這片歡樂沙漠上遊走

Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

不知怎麼我找回了一點新鮮感

And everything will happen and you wonder

你想著這次大概會不一樣吧

I wonder how

想不透是如何

I wonder why

想不透為什麼

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

我眼裡卻只有黃色檸檬樹

I'm turning my head up and down

顛倒看看

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

左看右看

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

依然只見黃色檸檬樹

And I wonder, wonder

想不透到底為什麼

I wonder how

想不透如何

I wonder why

想不透為何

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see

而我眼裡只有

Is just a yellow lemon-tree

眼裡卻只有黃色檸檬樹

最近我不禁猜想，那個開心跟著錄音帶哼唱、年幼的我，即使看了歌詞大概也不能明白為什麼是一首苦澀的歌吧，好懷念那個無憂無慮的年紀。

Modest Mouse - Float On 還可以

今天要介紹的是一首很可愛的歌(好啦 我哪次沒有這樣說)，是影集《正妹CEO》的插曲。原唱和翻唱的風格蠻不一樣的，私心比較推薦Gwen Harris不插電的版本，歌曲和劇情配得很妙，加上我本來就很喜歡輕快的吉他伴奏，溫柔地唱出女主角Sophia剛出社會載浮載沉的心情，完全打中我的心。

I backed my car into a cop car the other day

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam

被偽牙買加人偷到一分錢都不剩

It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand

才讓我學到教訓

Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands

別太擔心，總有衰事發生

Good news will work it way to all them plans

好運晚點也會來的

We both got fired on exactly the same day

人生就像天氣一樣往往難以預料，可能上一秒風和日麗，下一秒開始狂風暴雨，沒關係，我們還是可以瀟灑得往前走。

David Bowie - Heroes 一日英雄

今天要來說兩個故事。
首先，這首歌的創作背景是在柏林圍牆下約會的一對戀人，明知道彼此不能長久，並不是什麼大人物，困在那樣動盪不安的年代，知道自己沒能做出什麼改變，儘管是凡夫俗子，也想當一日英雄，人天性渴望愛，就只有這一天，這一刻，不是天長地久，卻感覺像是永恆。

大衛鮑伊這首歌絕對能堪稱為經典，經常出現在戲劇中，我第一次聽到是來自於電影《壁花男孩》，也是第二個我要分享的故事。一個剛升上小高一的邊緣男孩，他心思細膩，天資聰穎，可惜太害羞只能活在自己的小世界，直到遇到了一群朋友打開他的心房，更重要的是他暗戀已久的女孩讓他學會愛、學會活在當下。當他爬過窗戶，站上小貨卡後面，通過隧道的那一刻，他張開雙手，擁抱自由，擁抱未來，明白這一刻就是永恆。
