这类题材的歌动人的不多,这首是个佼佼者,自第一次听到被其吸引,至今两年,每次它在电台中响起,依然觉得赏心悦耳。其实这是首八十年代的老歌(演唱者不详),“青年小组”(Youth Group)将其重新演绎了。找来老歌版本比一下,味道大不相同,节奏要比现在的快和生硬许多,我更喜欢现在这个版本,特别是配上它的MV, 一群八十年代风貌的少年,乘着滑板,在空空的公路上兴高采烈滑翔。歌,乐,画面,看似不经意的搭配,却是匠心独运,时光悠悠,无拘无束,令人神往不已。歌词挺简单,我把它稍作诗化,不求紧扣原词。也算我借花献佛,祝玛雅咖啡每位朋友永远年轻。
《 永远年轻》
随我来舞一段,最酷的那种
就一会儿。看一下天空
天堂尚远
倘若杞人忧天
干脆引爆一颗炸弹
来一段死去活来
别待功力尽失,再说永不
别在沙坑边落坐
人生苦短,而音乐已然
唤起一个忧伤的人
设想这是场赛事
你我容光焕发
合着疯狂的乐曲
我们和领跑者步调一致
永远年轻,祝我们
年轻,难道你不愿意这样
永远
有人似水,有人如火
有人是一段旋律,有人是一阵节奏
一切终将离去,只是某个因缘
才将你我挽留
别成一声叹息悄然而逝
让青春永驻
如阳光中一颗钻石
多少冒险不敢再试
多少老歌业已忘却
多少梦境,正在渐漂渐远
而这一切都将重现
只要你我
互祝一生年轻
永远
Let's dance in style let's dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies,
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die on let us live forever,
Don't have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in the sandpit life is a short trip,
Music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is run,
Turning up our faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders getting in tune,
Music's played by the mad man
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever forever,
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Some are like water Some are like the heat,
Some are melodies Some are the beat,
Sooner or later they'll all be gone,
Why don't they stay on?
It's hard to get without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading voice,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever,
So many adventures couldn't happened today,
So many songs that we forgot to play,
So many dreams swimming out in the blue,
Let them come true
Forever young I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever...

Lighthouse Family 的 'High" 也是我喜欢的歌之一。
When youre close to tears remember
Some day itll all be over
One day were gonna get so high
And though its darker than december
Whats ahead is a different colour
One day were gonna get so high
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the days
We were close to the edge
And well wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
Well remember it was me and you
cause we are gonna be forever you and me
Youll always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Dont you think its time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day were gonna get so high
cause even the impossible is easy
When we got each other
One day were gonna get so high
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the days
We were close to the edge
And well wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
Well remember it was me and you
cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
High, high, high, high...

"You raised me up" by Westlife
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be. - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/08/2009

"Come away with me" by Norah Jones
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they cant tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So wont you try to come
Come away with me and well kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And Ill never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While Im safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

还以为只有我一个人才有这样的情绪呢 :)。年轻是一种心态。谁能保证来世一定比此生好呢,对来世我也信,而且倾向于认为来世的运程不是随机的投胎来决定的,而是此生的某种延续。抛弃有机物的肉体,人生是绵延不绝的,局部看似随机的事件,全局看却是相关的。死去还得活来,那里跌倒还得从那里爬起,没有捷径可走,何必多此一举呢,扯远了,还是心平气和随遇而安,过好此生,也为来世打个基础 :)

前一阵正好撞上这2部作品,我都没看过,只知道大意,看看你们喜欢哪种长生不老:
1。 The Makropulos Affair: 女主人公在42岁时服了可以活300年的长生不老药,
定格在42岁,经过了改朝换代,到342岁期满时活得不耐烦了,决定不再继续服药,
寿终正寝。
2。Replay by Ken Grimwood: 男主人公43岁时死去,醒来时发现自己回到了18岁的
那一年。他可以无限期的这样循环下去,但是时代总是这25年。 - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009

理解。记得大概是六七岁的时候好像考虑过这个问题,当时的想法比较乐观:等我长大了,长生不老药就发明了。
Happy dreaming to both of us! :-)
不过要是能滑轱辘鞋就不老的话,咱可有戏! - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
Susan的两种长生不老我选1,记得老早上过一个永生的帖子,当时的结论好像是会很boring,死是唯一的希望。
guanzhong你就是不会滑轱辘鞋也不老啊,虽然不能长生,你也永远年轻,你和我的问题不一样:)你有没有过不乐观的时候呀? - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
也没瞧见浮生不乐观的时候啊?这不又玩了趟欧洲?
你工作到底找着没?白关心你一场! - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
gz也会滑轱辘鞋,哈哈。我也会。:)得意洋洋地说。 - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
咱是速滑的底子,喜欢玩 inline rollerblade,你呢?

倒,那我可不成了。我就是能站在轱辘鞋上不摔倒地向前移动。:) - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
你干脆找个 ice rink 学滑冰吧!咱包教。:-) - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009

我也有双inline鞋呢,以前会滑一点儿冰的可是穿上inline发现都忘啦,你也包教么?:) - Re: 《 永远年轻》- 也算见面礼posted on 01/10/2009
玩了有小一年了吧?那你可真够幸福的!

只要滑过冰,滑轱辘鞋就该没啥问题,唯一要学的是怎么停车,倒是和滑雪有点象。你那有冰场吗?当然包啦! - posted on 01/10/2009
“You Were Meant For Me” by Jewel
Jewel 是为数不多的几位比较知性的歌手,她的本质是一个诗人。这首歌特别prosaic,却是她最成功的一首。
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doin fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

“I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR” by U2
太有名的歌手,他们的歌大多无法以平常心听之,你无法把歌和歌手分离开来,U2也如此,但U2这首有点不同,粗听似是首爱情歌曲,直到最后一段:
You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fBj2wsimvQ 这首歌Youtube 禁止embed
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

《Don't give up》
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that wed be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up
We dont need much of anything
Dont give up
cause somewhere theres a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
Its going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Dont give up
Please dont give up
got to walk out of here
I cant take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That rivers flowing
That rivers flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Dont give up
cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not the only one
Dont give up
No reason to be ashamed
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up now
Were proud of who you are
Dont give up
You know its never been easy
Dont give up
cause I believe theres the a place
Theres a place where we belong - Re: “Don't give up” - 这首歌送给一毛和近来职业受到冲击的朋友posted on 02/16/2009

"Foolish Games"
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and...
[Chorus]
These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.
[Chorus]
You took your coat off,
Stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.

太感谢一元找出这首歌来,我就是听了后从此爱上 Peter Gabriel 的,这歌太伤感太动情,简直不忍多听。
当年给 Peter Gabriel 配唱的女孩子是在巴黎 Chatelet 地铁站卖唱的艺人,因其嗓音独特,被他这个伯乐给发现的。弄得我每次过 Chatelet 都驻足留心听听,回头一不留神,一颗星星就给错过了。 - posted on 02/17/2009
是吗?以前俺曾有一小段时间由于某种境遇几乎天天听这首歌,一天七八个小时插在耳朵里反复不停,给了俺很大的力量。顺便提一下,Gregorian Chant 的版本也很不错,他们把男声含糊到口齿不清的地步,很符合失意者的心境,而女声却极尽清晰妩媚,那种安慰感如天使一般。
