漫遊於音樂的邊界
因為音樂在心靈深處的悸動,總是跟文字有著距離;既難以清楚言說,我乾脆選擇站到最遠的邊界。

比五十年更天長地久的Melody

2009-04-03 13:49迴響:17點閱:7917

   

  In the morning when the moon is at it's rest,
  you will see me at the time I love the best
  watching rainbows play on sunlight;
  pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
  'Tis the morning of my life.

  In the daytime I will meet you as before.
  You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
  building castles in the shifting sands
  in a world that no one understands,
  In the morning.
  'Tis the morning of my life,

  In the morning of my life the
  minutes take so long to drift away
  Please be patient with your life
  It's only morning and you're still to live your day

  In the ev'ning I will fly you to the moon
  To the top right hand corner of
  the ceiling in my room
  Where w'll stay until the sun shines
  Another day to swing on clothe's lines
  May I be yawning
  It is the morning of my life
  It is the morning of my life
  In the morning
  In the morning
  In the morning

  這首歌是1971的電影「兩小無猜」(Melody)的主題曲。這部電影有非常多曲子,全都是BeeGees唱的,我沒有細究到底是BeeGees使這部電影成為經典,還是這部電影讓BeeGees成為經典?總之,我幼年時好喜歡Mark Lester,青少年後好喜歡BeeGees,直到現在,還是三不五十非得複習一下BeeGees,這部電影和BeeGees,已交融成我心中的「夢田」。

  電影「兩小無猜」,故事是描述英國倫敦某小學,有一個男生名叫丹尼爾(Daniel,Mark Lester飾演),還有一個女生名叫美樂蒂(Melody,Tracy Hyde飾演),他們相愛起來了,而且愛到想結婚,但大人世界根本沒理會這清純的兩小無猜,於是兩人決定私定終身,還將全班同學帶到隱密廢墟舉行自辦婚禮。當一男一女兩個學生要私奔、還讓全班學生集體翹課的消息傳出,大人世界大受驚嚇,這還得了?於是學校校長便率領全體老師去廢墟抓人,現場亂成一片,最後男女兩個小主角衝出包圍,相偕推著鐵道輕便車揚長而去。

  這小學生的私奔童話,在七零年代初,絕對是一派清純天真到底,不像二十一世紀,孩子個個早熟、對性知之甚詳,因此小學生私奔結婚,父母大概只好等著撫養孫子孫女了。

  電影「兩小無猜」中有一段對話,充分表達出來孩童世界對「天長地久」的天真浪漫。

  這兩個相愛的半死的小朋友,在墓園約會談心,美樂蒂從某一墓碑上讀到先生給太太的墓誌銘,先生在石碑上刻下感謝太太帶給他的50年的快樂。小男女便出現了一段有趣的對話。

  Melody:「Fifty years' happiness....How long's fifty years?」
  Daniel:「A hundred and fifty school terms, not including holidays.」
  Melody:「Will you love me that long? (你會愛我愛那麼久嗎?)」
  Daniel:「(nods affirmative)Mmm-hmmm.……………。」
  Melody:「I don't think you will.」
  Daniel:「Of course. I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?」

  雖然對話純樸可愛,卻也不乏哲理。

    

  我還記得當年我大表姊跟家人們歡樂的慶祝她的二十歲生日,大人們將之稱為「雙十年華」,我小小年紀心中暗想:「長到二十歲,為何要這麼開心呢?二十歲,都已經老到讓我想自殺了。」而現在,卻老覺得時間是五年、十年倏地瞬間在過去著,每一個鮮明的記憶,屈指算算,竟是三五年之前的事。

  關於愛,五十年有多久呢?

  (僅以此文紀念我第一次發現我那可愛到不行的寶貝兒子,房裡竟然藏了女生,雖然兩人只是在喝白開水下圍棋,為娘的我還是受到很大的驚嚇。....)

ponder,選了個夜闌人靜之刻聽了這些曲子。夜闌人靜是我最愛的時光。這些曲子也讓我在淡淡的感傷中感受到寧靜與愉悅。

我非常喜歡跟朋友們分享波特小姐,我喜歡那種歷經人生波瀾之後,仍執著於純真的性格。

[之五: Lover's Return]

And so you have come back to me
And say the old love's growing yet
You tried through all these weary years
You tried too vainly to forget

Oh no I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

Come close and let me see your face
Your raven hair is tinged with snow
Oh yes it is the same dear face
I loved so many years ago

Oh no I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

Farewell I think I love you yet
As friend to friend God bless you dear
And guide you through these weary years
To where the skies are always clear

Oh no I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

Oh no I cannot take your hand
God never gives us back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

Tinged with snow,實是 tinged with gray)。

Gray 當成 Snow,是淚眼,還是老眼?

情存一世,愛示於今。

感激不必母親節,示意無需情人日。

[之四: Lamplight]

Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J'attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.

Then I may end.
She had things to buy.
I close my eyes .
Yet I don't know why.
I gave her money; said she knew someone.
And she said she won't be long.

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine.

I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed .
Then saw your face in an old photograph.
I didn't think that I could live without you but what am I to do ?

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine

Come home again dear. I have waited year after year
under the lamp in our old avenue.
If all in the world that's laughing, why should it make us cry?

Ah...

[之三: 比吉斯]

比吉斯的歌,幾十年下來,特別喜歡一首,Lamplight。

Lamplight,是首成讖的曲子,也是比吉斯的歌曲裡,最富藝術和人文氣息的。

By 1969, the cracks began to show within the group as Robin began to feel that Stigwood had been favouring Barry as the leader of the group. They began to record their next album, which was to be a concept album called Masterpeace, which evolved into the double-album Odessa. Most rock critics feel this is the best Bee Gees album of the 60s, with its progressive rock feel on the title track and along side other genres of music as heard on "Marley Purt Drive" and "Give Your Best", both country-flavoured tunes, and signature ballads such as "Melody Fair" and "First Of May", which became the only single from the album.

Robin, feeling that the flipside, "Lamplight" should have been the A-Side, quit the group in mid-1969 and launched a solo career, which saw brief success in Europe with the #2 hit "Saved By The Bell" and the album Robin's Reign. Barry and Maurice continued as the Bee Gees, even recruiting their sister Lesley to appear with them on stage.

但是,從意境和情緒的轉折,Lover's Return更勝多籌。
(Written by A. P. Carter, performed by Linda Ronstadt, et al.)

[之二: 摯愛]

然後,這首歌,給已經說過故事,以及在未來,有愛願意複述故事的人。

Miriam Stockley – Perfect Day

The rain has moved on
And left a new day
Nothing seems to move everything is still
It’s just a perfect day

The shadows and light
That move with the wind
Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray
Just another perfect day

On the wild and misty hillside
Fear is nature’s warning
Hunger here is never far away

On the wild and misty hillside
Fear is nature’s warning
Hunger here is never far away

And all of this world
Is for children who play
Days that never end always should remain
Another perfect day

[之一: 深情]

這首歌,給曾經相信深情,以及在未來,有情願意給予深情的人。

Katie Melua – When you taught me how to dance

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago with misty eyes
Every step and silent glance
Every move a sweet surprise

Someone must have taught you well
To beguile and to entrance
For that night you cast your spell
And you taught me how to dance

Light reflections in a lake
I recall what went before
As I give, I'll learn to take
And to be alone no more

Other lights may light my way
I may even find romance
But I won't forget that night
When you taught me how to dance

Cold winds blow
But on those hills you’ll find me
And I know
You’re walking right behind me

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago with misty eyes
Every step and silent glance
Every move a sweet surprise

Someone must have taught you well
To beguile and to entrance
For that night you cast your spell
And you taught me how to dance
And you taught me how to dance.

七零年代的天真,像茶道,享受的是準備的過程和期待:”五十年有多久呢“
今日的天真,像珍珠奶茶,享受的是一吸滿口珍珠:”殺很大“。

Welcome aboard.
我也被嚇過 雖然他們也只是單純的在一起做功課
嚇歸嚇 心裡還頗有一絲欣羨
How nice to be young and in love!
