Sheena Easton - For your eyes only

這首歌，喚起我很久以前塵封的回憶...

好像是國中時期吧...
好久，好久的回憶...

Alphaville - Forever Young

那天與朋友談到YouTube。我提到Joan Baez的Diamonds and Rust。順便說到她的Forever Young，都屬於詠嘆感覺。輕輕的無奈與時光的流逝，在那個時代是一股清流。朋友想的是另一首。我查了一下，其實這反而是我比較喜歡的版本，應該說，這兩首歌齊豫之前都有翻唱。

這首歌，我百聽不厭。居然從我年輕時，看哲學書的時候開始。當時我年紀很小，但看來，我的心可以說是老在前面等了。

Forever Young

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And dimonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Cyndi Lauper - True Colors

國中時我很喜歡這首歌...
在夜深時，更是一幕幕的故事歷歷在眼前。

YouTube上的雖然有，但是『已依要求停用嵌入』所以無法崁入。必須自己過去看。

另一個，比較搭的版本，是這個。



當然，有演唱版的，風味不同。



聽到她的歌，真是一種享受。

True Colors

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Lene Marlin-Another day

這首歌還蠻耐聽的，主要是閉上眼睛，會感覺到好像萬花筒一樣的，無論是向上浮還是向下沈，都很有趣。



Lene Marlin-Another day

Lie to me, say that you need me
That's what I wanna hear
That is what, what makes me happy
Hoping you'll be near
All this time, how could I know
Within these walls, I can feel you

Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love

You must think, how can this be
You don't really know me
I can't tell, this ain't the time
You'll never be mine
What can I say, something 'bout my life
I just lost again

Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love

Always have to move on,
To leave it all behind
Go along with time

Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie

Alanis Morissette - Uninvited

這是另一首。當然，本來就是我很欣賞的歌手囉。

Alanis Morissette - Uninvited

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepard meet shepard
But you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

Sarah Mclachlan - Angel

網友說X情人有兩首歌不錯。谷歌了一下，這是其中一首。
也許我總是適合這種，宛如胸口破了一的洞的音樂吧...



Sarah Mclachlan - Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

也許是天氣冷吧...突然想起，我十幾年前買的一張DVD。
這首歌，無論何時聽，都還是很舒服。前進...轉折、拆解之後；又回到了原點。

有一說，O'Connor也是翻唱Prince的，當然在之後，也有另一位男士翻唱這一首。

但無論如何，總是過癮。



Nothing Compares 2 U

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away

Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 U

當你把愛帶走的那一刻起
已過了十五天又七個鍾頭
你帶走愛的那一刻起
我就過著日夜顛倒的生活

自從你走了以後我就隨心所欲
選擇我想要的人
甚至到漂亮的餐廳吃著我的晚餐
但卻沒有辦法趕走這些煩憂
因為沒有什麼
沒有什麼比得上你

失去你以後，一切都變得好空虛
像隻不能歌唱的鳥兒
沒有什麼能阻止寂寞的淚水落下
告訴我，寶貝！到底我做錯了什麼

我可以輕易的搭在每個男孩的肩上
但這只會讓我一再的想起你
我去看醫生，但你猜他怎麼說？
你猜他怎麼說？
他說：去找樂子就對了，做什麼都好！
真是個呆子
因為沒有什麼；沒有什麼比得上你

你種的那些花，媽媽
在後院種的
在你過世之後就枯死了
我知道和你生活，有時候是比較辛苦
可是我願意再試一次
因為沒有什麼
沒有什麼比得上你
因為沒有什麼
沒有什麼比得上你
因為沒有什麼
沒有什麼比得上你
