炎夏冰鱼
和她一起看了W.B. 。比我想象中要平静。并没在归女士的煽动下引火上身。虽然后来,我们都没有像往常一样去评论什么。
第一次看2区DVD版呈现此片,比VCD要亮丽很多。声音也似乎好过两轨的mix。
旧片子往往新看会有新发现。比如我这一次才看到宴会上大讲中国几千年性压抑的食客,正是导演本人。
他那时还年轻啊,发型却已经和今天一样了。
早晨,被米打面(Damien Rice)的O碟搅得很神经的我,从架上拿下Tom McRae的“如血”,放在车里激荡。和米打面的声音有很低的分辨度,Tom一如既往的颤抖从我的左耳到右耳汩汩穿循。我这才又想起曾经在Senses里翻唱了一首Mermaid Blues.那个夏天一样炎热,我用这首歌制造南极的气氛,想象自己是洋底的冰鱼。我没法做到Tom一样的颤抖,所以,冰鱼是僵直的,几乎冷得没有情绪。虽然,自己很清楚,一旦从冰面离开,由内到外的冰会在阳光下全面融化,成为一摊美轮美奂的悲伤,和一条不再眨眼的鱼。
嗯,那是我今天的午餐了。

事过境迁remix
走过,究竟留下了多大痕迹……
听了太多遍Liz Story,看了太多次Legend of 1900,
钢琴的声音,像血液流淌,一滴一滴。
睡不着,翻出两年前的录音,小玲的曲,听起来陌生极了。
我两年没有听过唱过这首了??
被一种奇异的好奇驱使,
我兴奋的对这首歌作新衣。
于是,有了两年前后的对照。
再将两年前的样子和两天前作蒙太奇,
天啊,我何时有胆捉弄岁月了?!
也许正应了这首歌的名字。笑吧,一切都已改变。
附上:两年前版 (收录于the time of happiness, 删节)

Bosie, I got it already
Friday night.
I took Fairfax and saw two crashed cars lying vertical to each other @ Santa Monica Blvd. After a peek I turned right onto SM. Then another left on Highland...now you know where I'm heading. Sunset, then Ameoba.
Within an hour I got a handful of stuff. "The Double Life of Veronika", I thought it would be one of the "oop" things but hey, they got a used and a brand new one here. Amoeba, full of surprises, from time to time, for those who keeps trying their luck. Immediately I wanted to share this with Bosie. Liz Story's first piano solo album, I have been longing for it since I first heard "Wedding Rain" in B's Windham Hill piano collection. It was lying in the clearance section--for those of you familiar with Amoeba, this means a red-tag and a buy-3-get-1-free. (Yeah that good.) Harlem's two albums were buried in the world's clearance section, and I digged out a Michael Franks CD from the "vocal" clearance section. (Weird that Michael should be placed among say, Barbra Streisand and Harry Connick Jr.) So that makes a perfect combination.
What was of extra value was the sealed Japanese CD by Mono and world's end girlfriend. I just gave it a listen, pure detail development and emotion control, fan-f***ing-tastic. It started with strings, then some guitars, then some drums, some piano, more piano and guitar, more drums, the volume almost doubled, and ooooooooh it feels nice to hear that breakdown near 50 minutes after it started. It diminished in the similarly tender string quartet. Reminds me of Kronos Quartet. But here it takes flight with piano and guitars.
What shall I say about "Double Life" then, now after one spin...the chorus, the flute, the piano and the strings, they are all very Preisner, very. You remember when the sad heroine dipped her sugar cube in a cup of coffee in "Bleu"? Yeah that moment resembles the feeling of this music. Delicate and pathetic, desolated and chilled, mournful and religious, with constant emphasis on the greatness of living. Oh yeah I love it. 31 minutes is just about the right time for something to get you and start to diffuse inside you. Like Stina Nordenstam's "This is", or Sylvia Cheung's "Cost of Love". I should shorten my own album even more in future...
Post midnight and I put on the Michael Franks "Dragonfly Summer". That voice and melodies, that arrangement, that thing about Michael Franks, is so perfect for a summer night.

七月
從LA啟程,再從湖邊回來,
一個星期裡,這些幾乎是清理倉庫般的購置,跟著我的行程。在客房無眠的時候,
看著窗外月光眷顧下的大山,
被室內的冷氣困擾,
帶上耳機,聽著萬小芳的歌聲,混著十幾年前電子樂的拙技,
卻扔掩不住那個年代創作的良心。
隔夜,從山上下來,黃昏裡,兩腿抽筋,
卻在心裡一直哼唱:有人說,高山上的湖水,是躺在地球表面上的一顆眼淚。
於是,晚餐前,我拍下這一刻,
聽到B的評論才驚覺,其實所有的山,都像劈斷的脊背。
在轟響的飛機裡返程,耳邊居然是:有沒有這種說法,常常飛行的人,離天堂比較近。
我癡癡的望著窗外的燈火,不久睡去。
情傷意亂
作詞:易家揚 作曲:Super 編曲:陳柔錚
以為情已了 以為忘了你並不難
仔細想一想 那是我騙自己的謊
以為愛已老 以為一切都可以放
沒有你的世界 原來竟是那麼的慌
窗外的天上 就要吹來熟悉的亂
把我的情 苦苦的纏 將我的心 緊緊的綁
為你情傷 為你意亂
肯不肯心回意轉
亂了的情絲 停了的心跳
愛你愛在錯的一段
為你情傷 為你意亂
肯不肯心回意轉
變了的容顏 斷了的誓言
問也問不出你的答案
往事如塵煙 飛呀飛飛過我的臉
再回頭望一望 來時的路如此遙遠
窗外的天上 緩緩飄來新的夢想
將我的愛 慢慢的藏 讓我的心 輕輕的放
我不再情傷意亂
淚不會留在臉上
等不到的夢 尋不回的你
我不會再求什麼答案
這麼多年,我還是不知道陳柔錚是男的,還是女的。
只是把他/她的名字和萬小芳緊緊記在一起了,
於是,追溯到「斷線」這一張專輯,
仍然驚喜。
這首歌,有後知後覺冷冽的吉他,
有萬小芳最不著痕跡的演唱,
有很入耳的旋律,
也有很寓意深刻的歌詞。
我把它送給所有情傷者,意亂群,
我願你們都在裡面汲取最大的力量。
