黃湛熙 《故事繼續》

　A-Day 《愛這天》

Tokyo
曲：COZZi    詞：YUI

離開這間住慣了的房子的日子終於到了
對快要展開的新旅程仍然感到迷茫
在駛向火車站的bus上
我打著mail給朋友

chrous:
在車站中我試著打電話給他
但那種感覺總是和之前的有所不同
伴隨我身邊的只有那支古舊的吉他
與親友們的相片都放置一旁了
放棄一些因而得到一些
是個循環吧?

把自己的恐懼埋藏在持續的夢中
因為感到怯懦就什麼都做不到了
踏上車廂中
淚水終忍不住慢慢掉了下來

chrous:
在車子中看著我在這裡出生的城市
千萬不要改變 就此在心中許願
送給我這把古舊guitar的人對我說過
東京是個可怕的地方
不用急著去找尋答案
就算有瑕疵都沒問題

chrous:
赤紅的太陽被高層大樓阻隔著
就算現在能忍住淚水
那麼明天的朝早會否帶來更多的疑慮?
可能這不是正確的選擇
但至少我知道這一切

早前買的，十幾年的碟了．雖都是英文老歌，但在齊豫那天籟般的聲音的演繹下，全沒有「口水歌」的感覺．難得有心機細看歌詞，頗喜歡這首：

Whoever Find This I Love You

Written by: Mac Davis

On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked aione
Shuffling through the autumn aftenoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer’s come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead warting for june

Then among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
Cause the words burned inside him like a brand

Whoever finds this , I love you
Whover finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you

Well , the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last

So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain

And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
The old man would carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures fo beautiful Ladies for him
And they laughed a lot

But then one day, on the first of June
The lttle girl ran to the fence…the old man wasn't there.
And , somehow she knew he was never coming beck
So she went back to her lttle room , took a crayon

And wrote :
Whoever finds this , I love you
Whover finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you

 "...like a fool, I fell in love with you
   you turn my whole world upside down....
....before I finally go insane
   please don't say, we'll never find a way
   or tell me all my love's in vain...."

(我喜歡原原本本Rock版的Layla，在Unplugged大碟內的木結他版雖然Solo精彩萬分，但唱起來便顯得有氣無力了，沒有了那種感情澎湃的爆發力）

Clapton因個人問題及事業的壓力曾沉淪毒海，好在係來回頭是岸戒掉毒癮，否則分分鐘好像另一位結他之神Jimi Hendrix英年早逝．

Eric Clapton是我很喜歡的一位結他手，那一手如流水行雲的電結他Solo真是非常之正．

在YouTube找到個特別的片段：

應該係群星向Beatles 成員George Harrison致敬的演唱會（早幾年過身）．片中Eric Clapton的Solo都不錯，有種悲傷的味道．

《Camping》未聽，先聽《你今日拯救o左地球未?》，正．

一向很喜歡林一峰那感情細膩的歌詞，總有一些字句觸動內心深處．特別喜歡《時間河》、《活下來》、《給最開心的人》．

    就就像大地清風飄來　暢快了這土地
    或是像那微微雨水　給小草生長
    或像烈日暖透世間　繽紛的照耀
    你我也有生的意義　來見證父愛

多麼簡單真接的意思，自己竟忽略了！有時真係好矛盾，在教會中常常有機會彈歌，現在甚至要在敬拜小組領唱，但有時當投入了音樂中，卻忘了思想歌詞的意思，甚至忘記正在敬拜神！....唔，真係要改善o下....

Anyway，首歌真係幾好，如果你都已經發現”生的意義”，你今天的生活又在忙什麼呢?

不過其實不易唱．好多近幾年的詩歌都幾好，但好多時好聽的歌郤不易在教會聚會中帶唱啊．有時是因為難唱，有時就是比較個人的感受，不是首首都適合在教會聚會中帶．例如Zion Noiz的歌好多人都鐘意，好似有首叫”孤獨離開”，個人幾鐘意；但點帶呀，首歌係講見到朋友去世，為他們未信主而覺難過．．．．都係自己欣賞比較適合．．．

在雜誌上看過 Jack Johnson 為動晝 Curious George 做的兒歌專輯．原來阿貓有這碟，立即借聽．

雜誌形容為BBQ音樂，都幾特別．其實D歌好多節奏幾明快，但Jack Johnson的唱腔是懶洋洋的．雖然不太中自己的口味，但聽落的感覺幾舒服．結他伴奏想當好聽．懶洋洋的早上或下午聽最好．

"Who's to say what's impossible?
Well they forgot this world keeps spinning.....

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found...."
