James Bay - Us 我們

迷濛黑暗中
剩下你是生命中唯一的美好
猶如信仰
讓我有勇氣繼續往前走

差點不認得剪短髮的James Bay，不過他充滿磁性的歌聲倒是辨識度極高，第一次在聽到這首歌是電影《禁忌世代：邂逅》男女主角共舞的片段，歌詞甚至恰巧呼應到男主角的心聲，有夠浪漫！

PS.一定要點影片下方的連結，他和Alicia Keys合唱的版本好聽到耳朵懷孕！

有如電影或小說，歌曲從標題就投下震撼彈，一路越走越歪，直到接近尾聲才揭開真相，回頭再聽依然很有意思…主角來到門前時，她卻不認得，究竟是本來就很陌生，或是因為他早已變了個人，才使得她認不出來。過門最後還不忘來個回馬槍，為了愛情犧牲到這個地步到底值不值得？我想，答案是再明顯不過了。

Taylor Swift - Daylight 天日

＜Lover＞這張專輯中的好歌實在太多太多，但是最後一首是最令我感動的，從字裡行間聽得出Taylor這幾年的成長，愛情觀從熱情、艷麗的紅色，轉為閃閃發亮、溫暖人心的金色；神秘危險的黑夜終會退去，迎來的是風和日麗的白天。

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in

我的愛如這城市殘酷

Everyone looked worse in the light

光天化日之下大家都露出了真面目

There are so many lines that I've crossed, unforgiven

Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky

And so I became the butt of the joke

所以我成了笑柄

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked

信了壞人，傷了好人

Clearin' the air, I breathed in the smoke

呼吸困難，洗清恩怨

Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down

或許你和狼群共舞、拒絕安逸

Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town

也許我闖遍這小鎮的每個房間

Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now

丟掉神秘偽裝，已旭日東昇

It's brighter now, now

明亮無比

"I wanna be defined by the things that I love

我希望被我所愛的事務所定義

Not the things I hate

而不是我所恨的

Not the things I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of

或我所畏懼的事物

The things that haunt me in the middle of the night, I

亦非那些在午夜糾纏我的事

I just think that you are what you love"

我認為你就是你所愛的一切

最後跟大家分享專輯前言的一段，是這張專輯的核心概念，也是最打中我心的一段話。

「這輩子我決定，我希望被我所愛的事務所定義——而非我所討厭的、畏懼的，亦非午夜時分糾纏我的事物。那些或許是我的掙扎，卻不是我的個人定位。我希望你也是如此。希望你掙扎的吵雜會被靜音，那些愛你且欣賞你的聲音則會是清楚而堅定的。在你混亂的腦袋中，請把這些聲音調大。希望你注意到生活中的瑣碎小事是美好、讓你自在，且甚至讓你感到驚奇的。希望你記錄下你的感受，並在多年後回顧，學會當你以為那些苦難和試煉會要你的命，但其實不然。我希望有天你會忘記痛苦的存在。如果你生命中有個愛人，是個值得你的人，若是如此，我希望你好好對待他。」
