Music Sunday－RodVader

快過年了，今年的9天年假既然要休息這麼多天，
何不也跟著先連續上班很多天呢？
於是我從這星期一到下個星期六，將連續上班13天，
也是近20天有19天都在上班。

今天是這星期最早回到家的一天，
晚上7點就抱著便當回家跟泡菜一起吃晚餐了。

在這星期，威傑成立了他個人化的音樂電台，
我也在這忙碌的工作生活中，有幾首歌是想放在自己部落格中點播推薦的。
首先是前幾天剛介紹到的Marie Digby，我們今天聽Spell這首歌。

其實我喜歡的女歌手不多，現在坐在電腦前，我甚至想不出3個。
但目前想到的都有一相同特色，就是歌聲清脆地像個天使。
我這星期非常著迷於Marie Digby的歌聲，
如果每天回家都可以聽到這種歌聲，我就不當什麼工作狂了！
馬上辭職換個可以準時下班回家的工作。

Beauty emanates from every word that you say
You've captured the deepest thoughts
In the purest, and simplest of ways
But you see, I'm not that graceful, Like you
Nor am I as eloquent
But just a simple melody
Can change the way that you see me

And right now, I have you
For a moment I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

今天的文章是學威傑當個音樂點播電台，所以繼續撥下一首歌吧！
這星期二晚上終於製作好高雄之旅的四個Video.
其中Always Be My Baby這首歌製作最久，從2,486張照片精選了69張，
反覆地編排前後順序及呈現畫面，好不容易製作完成，
但上傳到YouTube不到一分鐘，就收到YouTube寄來的版權告訴信件，
最後只能馬上下架，我可不想大過年就去坐牢呀。
但今晚我還是要推薦David Cook的Always Be My Baby.
(廢話這麼久，上一首歌應該也播的差不多了吧？)

Always Be My Baby (Studio) - David Cook

我曾經在部落格中短暫介紹過David Cook這位歌手，
雖然我五音不全的程度應該可以在台灣2,300萬人中排進前100名，
但好音樂應該是音樂白痴也有權利品味和評論的。
Always Be My Baby這首歌是Mariah Carey在1996年的美國冠軍歌曲，
通常這麼成功的原唱早已建立大眾對這首歌的印象，
但11年後，David Cook詮釋這首歌又把它帶到另一種境界。
我想許多聽過Mariah Carey版本的人聽到這首歌時，
應該都很訝異這首有點俏皮的歌居然可以給一位男生歌手唱出成熟的味道。

而這次高雄之旅給我的回憶太多了，
在整理照片的當下，我第一個想到的就是這首歌。
雖然照片全整理好，並上傳至無名相簿了，
但這陣子太忙，或許年假在家我再來撰寫高雄遊記，
並把星期二辛苦製作的影片上傳上去，當然啦，我會消音。

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

很多時候，突然就會有一段旋律跑到你的腦海裡，
而且通常是好久之前的歌，以及平常不常聽的歌。
這就是今晚要推薦的第三首歌：The Fray的All At Once
(嗯，我又努力地廢話這麼多，所以第二首應該也播完了吧)

All At Once - The Fray

這首歌全部歌詞我都很喜歡，所以全貼吧！

There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it maybe you need it,
Maybe it's all you're running from,
Perfection will not come

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you had her maybe you lost her to another
To another

雖然每天都很晚下班，不過我還是連續三個晚上跑去慢跑運動。
最後，我坐在北新國小操場旁的階梯，
在微弱的月光下，我試著多看這個學校幾眼，想把它的樣貌刻印至腦海深處。
因為今後我會來這裡運動的次數應該是用手指可以數的出來。

最後，這篇文章的封面不是Maroon 5嗎？為什麼都沒有提到？
這張專輯《Call and Response: The Remix Album》於去年12月9日推出，
由於是舊歌新炒，而且沒有我最喜歡的Won't Go Home Without You,
所以一直沒特別注意。
今天研究Amazon與iTunes在MP3 DRM的競爭機制時，拿這張專輯做實驗。
結果Remix的曲風完全無法接受，太複雜了，
反而失去那簡單旋律下帶來的真實感動。

如果一定要推薦一首，那就是Sunday Morning (Questlove).

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

2009年才剛開始，我完全不知道到年底會怎樣。
而寫部落格的好處就在這，明年今天，我會再回來看這篇網誌。
無論如何，每一個新年都代表著全新的希望和開始，
今年工作可要非常努力與專注呀！
另外，生活也該換個環境，把垃圾全部倒光，重新出發吧！
