Photos: The first of the black caps
Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:24:00 +0100If you could see me now you'd laugh at my purple tongue and fingers, and I'd let you. Because I just picked my first batch of black raspberries from the vines that grow on my property, risking poison ivy - which I get terribly - just to enjoy a handful of the tangy fruit. It's [...]... (Read complete news)
Do You Have The Sixth Sense Of Live Music?
Sun, 17 May 2009 16:25:00 +0100Like Haley Joel Osment saw dead people in The Sixth Sense, I've been seeing patterns lately. I don't normally search so hard for coded messages, but I guess I am what I read since I've been soaking up the latest Wired issue about cracking codes and hidden messages. What also sparked this deeper dive into a search for [...]... (Read complete news)

Nickelback - "Gotta Be Somebody"
Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:16:00 +0100This time I wonder what it feels like To find the one in this life The one we all dream of But dreams just aren't enough So I'll be waiting for the real thing I'll know it by the feeling The moment when we're meeting Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen So I'll be holdin' my breath Right up 'til the end Until that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with! 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there 'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares Someone to love with my life in their hands There's gotta be somebody for me like that 'Cause nobody wants...

S Club - "Say Goodbye"
Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:35:00 +0100TO MY CLASS-MATES ! ... you are great ones ... ... keep it moving forward ... In the years to come Will you think about these moments that we shared In the years to come Are you gonna think it over And how we lived each day with no regrets Nothing lasts forever though we want it to The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart Is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts Is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye But don't you cry 'Cause...

[photo by ~PetitJeReve @ deviantart.com] Halfway through the night I wake up in a dream Echoes in my head Make every whisper turn into a scream I dreamed I could fly Out in the blue Over this town Following you Over the trees Subways and cars I'd try to find out Who you really are In the middle of the night Cool sweatin' in my bed Got the windows open wide Thinkin' about all the things you said I wish I could fly Out in the blue Over this town Following you I'd fly over rooftops The great boulevards To try to find out Who you really are Who you...

星光徐佳瑩 - "我身騎白馬"
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:58:00 +0100在正式進入主題前,請容不才小不小小抱怨一下吧! 自從星光大道第一季結束,我就不曾在電視上收看過這節目,一方面是沒時間看,另一方面是這節目似乎炒作大於實質的選秀意義,兩屆最具冠軍相的選手,都掀起蠻大的風波,第一屆的楊宗緯因謊報年齡參賽出包,令眾人在羅生門的劇情下,一陣猜測叫囂,最後當事人出面承認錯誤道歉後,旋即退出比賽,結果是大家一陣錯愕;第二屆的梁文音則因PK遭淘汰,節目突然加了一個敗部復活賽,就已遭受比賽有失公允的衝擊不說,而在最後一場比賽,卻又因製作單位積分計算講不清楚下,讓賴銘偉直取冠軍,結果依然令眾人傻眼。這些劇情跟"台灣龍捲風"這類的肥皂劇比起來,灑狗血與修改劇本的程度真是有過之而無不及,總之一切在反反覆覆中進行,也在紛紛擾擾下結束,我想倒盡胃口的戲碼仍然會繼續在第三屆中上演。以上抱怨這麼多,一切都是積怨太久,實在是不吐不快,借題發揮發發牢騷,大家就隨意看看吧! 雖說"不來"對星光這節目雖頗有微詞,不過還是很注意裡面參賽選手表現,比方說第一屆創作型的陳亭慧,她的自創歌曲"給姐的祝福","手分手"都有著現今流行歌壇欠缺的清新平實風格;而第二屆的動感型葉瑋庭,果然是匹黑馬,一路上跌跌撞撞硬是衝上第三名,看好的是她熱力四射的表演,渾身散發出一股魅人又純真的特質,如經調教,或許能有番作為也不一定。 而第三屆還沒正式進入高潮,就已經出現一位唱作俱佳的徐佳瑩,以一首流行結合台灣歌仔戲的創作曲"身騎白馬",成為眾所注目的焦點。古典融合流行這種做法已經行之有年,不過把歌仔戲曲詞入流行歌曲詞倒是少見/首見,第一次聽這首歌的時候,一開始的國語部分其實不算特別,我也在想她到底該怎麼把這段經典的歌仔戲曲橋段融入流行,直到副歌開始,"身騎白馬"以原汁原味台語出現,熟悉的感覺加上前面的鋪成,讓整個情緒急轉直下,薛平貴與王寶釧的愛情故事似乎歷歷在目,一瞬間的感動幾乎令人潰堤,成為這首歌一個驚人的爆點,令人激賞,真希望有唱片公司能替這首歌發行實體單曲勒。 順道一提的是"身騎白馬"這首歌讓我想到了1997年時美國發行了一張古典樂融合嘻哈叫做"The Rapsody"專輯,首發單曲"Prince Igor"同樣也令我非常驚艷,我覺得作法有點類似,提供給大家參考囉! 身騎白馬完整版: 作詞: 徐佳瑩 作曲:徐佳瑩/打打 編曲:打打 我愛誰 跨不過 從來也不覺得錯 自以為 抓著痛 總會修成愛的果 偏執相信著 受詛咒的水晶球 阻擋可能心動的理由 而你卻 靠近了 逼我們視線交錯 原地不動 或向前走 突然在意這分鐘 眼前荒沙瀰漫了等候 耳邊傳來孱弱的呼救 追趕要我愛的不保留 我身騎白馬 走三關 我改換素衣 過中原 放下西涼沒人管 我一心只想王寶釧 PRINCE IGOR - WARREN G. FEAT. SISSEL ... (Read complete news)
