創造傳奇一刻


在2009年東亞運動會中,
香港足球隊先擊敗了南韓和北韓.
決賽贏了日本首次奪得綜合運動會金牌.
創造了傳奇一刻.

香港足球隊的確是打出了感人的拼勁.
特別一讚是韓籍教練金判坤.
他在南華和香港足球隊的貢獻有目共睹.

Get Lucky


Mark Knopfler/Get Lucky

醞釀兩年, Mark Knopfler再接再厲呈上新作Get Lucky.
上一張大碟Kill To Get Crimson, 是Mark Knopfler精彩的回歸.
Get Lucky則是一份親切簡潔的美好餘韻.
當在唱片店拿起Get Lucky真有點Lucky之感.
能買到自己心儀Artist的New album是一件幸福的事.

哪些在我身邊的名子, 好的壞的我都會記住.
哪些在我身邊的事情, 好的壞的我也會好好記住.
生命原來是這樣精彩.

Mark Knopfler - Remembrance Day

On your maypole green
See the winding morrismen
Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken
Waving hankies, sticks and books
All the earthen roots

Standing at the crease
The batsman takes a look around
The boys are fielding on homeground
The steeple sharp against the blue
When I think of you

Sam and Andy
Jack and John
Charlie, Martin
Jamie, Ron
Harry, Stephen
Will and Don
Matthew, Michael

On and on

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

Time has slipped away
The Summer sky to Autumn yields
A haze of smoke across the fields
Let's sup and fight another round
And walk the stubbled ground

When November brings
The poppies on Remembrance Day
When the vicar comes to say
May God bless them every one
Lest we forget our sons

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

We will remember them
Remember them
Remember them

禮儀師の奏鳴曲


禮儀師の奏鳴曲是生命的讚歌.

導演瀧田洋二郎強調尊重生命.
本木雅弘專業的演出, 敬業的眼神令人難忘.
久石讓用上大提琴作配樂更添一份淒美.

日本人一直奉行死亡美學.
人生正如櫻花般美麗短暫.
生老病死是大自然定律.
珍惜眼前人.

香港足球加油


在場的37,459名球迷叫人感動.

幸好同事一早買了票, 否則進不到場.
沒想到因南華之名可以坐爆大球場.
沒想到因南華之名可以看得如此肉緊.
南華2009亞協盃神奇之旅止步.
但願南華振作, 加油.
香港足球明天會更好.

和你在一起


看到一整天歌頌我國成就的大型電視節目確是很難沒有感覺的.
電視節目中我看見全都是為表演而表演的表演者.
這可怪上我的殖民壞基因.

陳凱歌導演作品'和你在一起'是一部很棒的電影.
電影原聲專輯中不單有動人的音樂.
更有文字提到Some lessons can only be learned by heart.
只有真心真誠地反省過去.
才可迎接真善美的未來中國.

你我都是中國人.
永遠都和你在一起.

書信 ~ 給15歲的你


Angela Aki/Answer

香港有鍾舒漫給自己的信.
原曲是日義混血兒創作歌手Angela Aki的手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ.
很快這歌被列入日本音樂教科書中.
更被起用為第75屆NHK全國學校音樂比賽中學部的課題曲.
想起我校的音樂課確比人家悶氣得多.

15歲的我只鬧著玩.
面對自己的理想和現實.
總有說不出的害怕和苦惱.
和很多人一樣經過歲月的洗禮.
知道只要堅守自己的信念努力向前.
人生還是充滿美好意義的.

如果現在要說一句話給15歲的我.
現在努力起步也不會遲呀!

手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ - 第75屆NHK全國學校音樂比賽

敬啟 正在讀著此信的你在何處,在做些什麼呢?
十五歲的我,懷著煩惱的種子,無法對誰傾訴 。
若這是封寫給未來自己的信,應該能誠實地坦露一切 。

此刻,像快輸了、像快哭了、像快消失了的我,
該相信誰的話往前才好呢?
僅存的心幾經割裂而支離破碎;
在無盡的苦痛裡,我仍活在此刻,我仍活在此刻 。

敬啟 謝謝!我有話想對十五歲的你說。
自己究竟為何得向著某處前進,只要不停追問終能見到答案。
存著巨浪的青春之海即便艱難,也請將夢想之舟開往明日的埠岸 。

此刻,絕不能輸、絕不能哭、像快消失了的時候,  
只要相信自己的聲音往前就好;
即便已是成大人的我,也總有帶著傷心而難以入眠的夜晚;
但我仍活在苦澀又甘甜的此刻。

正因人生的一切都賦與意義,喔~請別畏懼去培育你的夢想 !

此刻,像快輸了、像快哭了、像快消失了的我,
該相信誰的話往前才好呢?

啊,絕不能輸、絕不能哭、像快消失的時候,
只要相信自己的聲音往前就好;
無論哪個時代總不免有悲傷,但請展開笑顏活在此刻往前,活在此刻往前吧。

敬啟 由衷盼望正讀著此信的你能夠幸福!

Free Polanski


Roman Polanski

The Academy Award-winning director of Chinatown, The Pianist, and Rosemary's Baby—was arrested during a raid on his hotel in Switzerland last night. He was running from American authorities for a 1978 warrant issued after a statutory-rape conviction.

秋天的思念


All the best...

Time To Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

Quando sono sala
Sogno all'orrizonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo sa che nono ce luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Si non ci sei tu con me, con me

Su le finestre
Monstra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai accesso
Chiundi dentro me
La luce che hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye,
Paesi che no ho mai
Veduto e visssuto con te
Adesso si li vivro con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non essitono piu,
It's time to say goodbye

Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io si lo so che sei con me

Tu mia lunatu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me ,con me,
Con me,con me

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che no ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivro
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esitono piu
Con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono piu
Con te io li rivivro
Con te parti ro

Lo con te

一起唱吧


李宇春

先是台灣星光大道楊宗緯蕭敬騰的經典PK戰,
再來是中國大陸超級女聲李宇春和周筆暢.
楊宗緯的慘痛情傷.
邪惡搖滾的蕭敬騰.
唱得之人周筆暢.
還有天后級的李宇春.
不論戰果最後他們都如願擁有自己的音樂作品和事業.

香港也有一個超級巨星正進行中.
只是換個角度, 現今這裡的音樂創作能為他們譜下良好的流行音樂作品嗎?

Ave Maria


Madonna Granduca -1505 (Rafael Santi, 1483~1520)

一種安寧恬靜的感覺.
追溯到兒時在母親的溫暖懷裡,
這是你我曾經都擁有過的奇妙體驗.

Celtic Woman - Ave Maria

神聖的瑪麗亞,
妳是如此充滿恩典, 主與妳同在.
妳是女性中所選拔祝福的,
而妳腹中的兒子耶穌也將受到祝福.
聖潔的瑪麗亞,
上帝的母親,
請為我們這群有罪的人祈禱,
從現在直到死亡的時刻來臨,
阿們.

Ave Maria Gratia plena
Maria Gratia plena
Maria Gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tui Jesus
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Mater dei
Ora pro nobis pecatoribus
Ora, ora pro nobis
Ora ora pro nobis pecatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
In hora mortis, mortis nostrae
In hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria!

方大同 Timeless Live in HK 2009


方大同的專輯總給我文靜內儉的感覺.
在音樂會上, 他對音樂的熱忱和處理感動了我.

方大同有好的音樂.
而好的音樂是不受時間影響的/可啦思刻/Timeless.
關鍵是香港樂壇有沒有生存空間給他發展自己的'純'音樂事業.

09.09.09


09.09.09對披頭四樂迷是一個重要日子.
全系列新錄製版本全球同步發行.
相信到時候又有一番熱鬧.
披頭四的音樂像巴哈, 莫札特等古典名曲一樣.
是一代傳一代的韻事.

I Saw Her Standing There - The Beatles

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


Roberta Flack

看見妳的面孔總按捺不住心情,
對妳是一種罪孽, 但又漂亮非常.

Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

嘩眾取寵


嘩眾取寵形式上和已往都一樣.
黃子華演練的棟篤笑爐火純青.
他的笑話實在太精彩. 哈哈!

往伊利沙伯體育館的路,
有一種很久不見的感覺.
又夾雜著點點回憶.

可啦思刻


Timeless/Khalil Fong

根據C的解說"可啦思刻"是Classic的意思.
我相信"可啦思刻"同樣有著Timeless的意思.
今年方大同書展的新書《L.I.F.E》和專題Timeless都欣賞過.
坦白說現今香港樂壇了無生氣.
方大同還是認真的做自己喜歡的音樂.
這樣子不是很好嗎?

Nothing's gonna change my love for you - 方大同

If I had to live without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young and we both know
Theyll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I dont want to live without you.

Nothings gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
Ill never ask for more than your love.

Nothings gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but nothings gonna change my
love for you.

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us like a guiding star
Ill be there for you if you should neeed me
You dont have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are.

So come with me and share this view
Ill help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I dont want to live without you.

Jacqueline du Pré


Jacqueline du Pré 1945 - 1987

英國女大提琴家Jacqueline Du Pre.
琴技超群然而生命短暫.
活了42歲, 一生傳奇.

自小她便追求音樂上的完美.
不出二十因精湛的演奏而聲名大噪舉世矚目.
1967年她與一名著名鋼琴兼指揮家Daniel Barenboim結婚.
成為了音樂界的金童玉女.
年輕又充滿魅力的她很快便成為最有名的演奏家之一.
可是在頂尖藝術家的生涯中她充滿了寂寞.
她想家想得瘋了, 妒忌姐姐有簡單的家庭生活.
從1971年7月開始她受到一種綜合硬化症(Multiple sclerosis)的騷擾, 手指偶爾失去知覺演出受到了影響.
於1973年退出樂壇, 最終因病症加重於1987年十月病逝於倫敦家中.

電影"她比煙花寂寞"(Hilary and Jackie)便根據這本從她姐姐著的書A Genius in the Family, A Intimate Memoir of Jacqueline du Pre中改編. 當我知道她的故事感覺很是難受.

大團圓結局只是一種精神的意向.
破碎的感覺總來得真實.
看似快樂, 又不免有點蒼涼.
然而這就是人生.
可歌可泣的人生.

她的成名作是艾爾加(Elgar)的e小調大提琴協奏曲, 指揮便是她的丈夫Daniel Barenboim.

Wayne Rooney


Manchester United 1:0 Birmingham

缺少了世界足球先生, 歐洲足球先生基斯坦奴朗拿度.
還有阿根廷前鋒迪維斯.
曼聯本季路途不容易走.
邁向第19次英國頂級聯賽封王.
接下來是連續三年打進歐聯決賽.
還有2010年6月在南非舉行的世界盃.
Wayne Rooney的重要性不用多說.

Woodstock 40


Woodstock Festival 1969 - 2009

1969年8月15日至18日, 為期三日三夜的胡士托音樂節引來了約四十多萬觀眾, 其中當然絕大部分是嬉皮士.
參與演出的樂壇猛將包括Joan Baez, The Who, Neil Young, Johnny Winter, Santana等.
可是胡士托的意義並不在其演出陣容, 及在群眾的參與.
而是它向世界證明只要團結, 抱著和平友愛之心, 不可思議之事也變得絕對可行.
更證明了音樂的力量, 足以衝破人心間的樊籬, 有助建立和平的世界.
一群熱愛迷幻音樂的年輕人同樣有積極進取的一面.
他們對當時音樂, 社會文化和生活哲學的衝擊,
1969年胡士托音樂節肯定是人類音樂歷史上不朽傳奇.

Jimi Hendrix以迷幻手法演繹美國國歌The Star-Spangled Banner,
是當次演唱會的高潮所在.

Love Is All Around


每個人心裡都有一個放大鏡.
您會把它放到人間的美善.
還是把它放到人間的醜惡.

處處愛, 只不過是您不少心看罷了.

Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere i go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know i love you, i always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that i feel
There's no beginning,
There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As i lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes i did
You gave your promise to me and i
Gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything i do, oh yes i do
You know i love you, i always will,
My mind's made up by the
Way that i feel
There's no beginning,
There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend
Got to keep it moving
Oh it's written in the wind
Oh everywhere i go, yeah, oh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it (come and let it show, baby)
Come on, come on, come on let it show baby
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show

Top Of The World


Karen Carpenter (1950 - 1983)

每次聽The Carpenters的時候總有點不忍心.
她只有三十二歲就離開了我們.
而她唱得哪麼好, 人又哪麼漂亮.

Top Of The World - The Carpenters

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Placebo Live in Hong Kong


1996年成軍的英國搖擺三人樂隊.
事前我知道關於Placebo實在很少.
巨大音量和重節奏, 現場有哪位不會自動搖晃自己的身軀.
賣光樂隊所有力氣, 他們的現場演出實在精彩.

回家路上聽覺好像有一下子毛病, 但自覺幸運和得著.

沖天救兵


Up

暑假熱門的卡通選擇.
Disney Pixar 首部3D電影.
被獲選為今屆康城影展的開幕電影.
電影沖天救兵對於我實在有太多賣點.

主題是承諾, 夢想, 堅持.
主角一老一少可愛極了.
許冠文聲演是水準的.

最驚喜還是一對青梅竹馬的老情人.
彼此為了對方和家庭.
告別共同擁護六十多年的理想.
相依一生, 沒有半分埋怨.
教我感動不已.

A Beautiful Mess


人生是苦澀的.

如果人生是苦澀的.
在生命的旅途中, 總會遇上很多美不勝收的事.
它可以是一幅圖畫, 一段音樂.
它可以是一部電影, 一本圖書.
它可以是一個晴朗藍天, 一個青翠山坡.
它可以是情人的一吻, 也可以是母親的湯水.
然而這些看起來微不足道的事,
卻都足以令我們在這苦澀的日復日中偷生下去.
我們都在這裡.
這實在太棒了!

Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language,
And shotty cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And it's a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are x7

We're still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

Simon Says


Laleh生於伊朗, 是伊朗裔瑞典音樂創作歌手.

呼! 好想放假輕鬆一吓.

LALEH - Simon Says

I once thought I really knew
I once thought I really knew myself
Hey well
And things might really look all good
But you just need to cross the line of you
I told myself

Simon says, sit down well
Simon says, you can't help yourself
Simon says, you can't help yourself
Just do youremondid-and-done
He said, dead wrong, you're dead wrong

And I'll never forget
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows,
Where we are now
And I'll never forget
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Who we are now

And I'll never forget
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows,
Where we are now
And I'll never forget
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Who we are now

And every night
I let go I let go
Every day
I'm awake
Awake in a different shape

And I'll never forget
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Who we are now
Now


And I once thought I always really knew
I once thought I really knew my
My limits
Simon says,
To much to do
Simon says
Give up don't even bother
Don't even bother
I know,
I'm not the only who
Do you're mondid-and-done
And see the things we overcome
We would feel flattered
And we play
Simon says,
To much to do
Simon says
Give up don;t even bother
Don't even bother

And I'll never forget
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Where we are now
And I'll never forget
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Who we are now
And I'll never forget…
Who we are now
And I'll never forget
nobody knows who we are now

You're My Heart, You're My Soul


現今的人都很推崇八十年代的音樂.
當時流行的音樂類型.
確是百花齊放, 百家爭鳴.
硬要數最有代表性的音樂類型.
其一是歐陸Disco Beat的跳舞音樂吧.
在光彩的舞池中,
一起自由擺動青春誘人的身軀.
一切都變得很有活力.
一切都變得很是美好.
Let Dance.

Modern Talking - You're My Heart, You're My Soul

Deep in my heart - there's a fire - a burning heart
Deep in my heart - there's desire - for a start
I'm dying in emotion
It's my world in fantasy
I'm living in my, living in my dreams

You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever
Stay with you together

You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, I'm feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I really know

Let's close the door and believe my burning heart
Feeling alright come on open up your heart
Keep the candles burning
Let your body melt in mine
I'm living in my, living in my dreams

You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever
Stay with you together

You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, I'm feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I really know

You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever
Stay with you together

You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, I'm feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I really know

Ameno


學期完了.
球季完了.
最近心都空了.
看多了電影.
但也好不了多少.
寄情於工作?
我想沒有這必要吧.
做一件從未曾做過的事.
經驗告訴我.
不幸往往由此開始.
想來想去.
時間就走了.
是都市病吧.
病得好重呀.
是. 又如何.

Ameno - Era

The word Ameno in Italian mean healthy place, because the village is on the top of a hill surrounded by mountains, lake and wild bush. In Ameno is full of ancient houses and castles because many noble families of Torino and Milano stay in Ameno in the summer.

誰和誰和誰有路


妻子發現丈夫有外遇.
好不容易找到了第三者.
妻子成功進佔了她的生活.
得到她的信任和友誼.
妻子一發不可收拾的妒火
大報復中...

這是一部今屆香港國際電影節的芬蘭電影

一段普通不過的婚外情.
拍得如此峰迴路轉.
相當充實的驚慄電影.

我班friend好搞o野


這部被喻為韓國版"美國處男"的我班friend好搞o野.
電影是同事介紹給我看.
他們都說很好笑的.

抵死.
賤格.
瘋狂.
古怪.
過晒界.

嘻嘻...

集結號


又一部馮小剛.
電影的主題是"忠".

集結號是野心之作.
它要和西方的戰爭大片比拼.
刻意的模仿和比較.
令影片少了點趣味.
幸有演員們不俗的表現.

集結號是中國戰爭電影的里程碑.

非誠勿擾


刊登一段徵婚啟事找個合適女伴.
換來只有女兒家的心痴.

導演馮小剛.
主演是葛優和舒淇.
非誠勿擾擦出了驚訝火花.

葛優和舒淇的情事好看.
喜歡舒淇, 演得非常好.

Yes Man


One word can change everything

平庸沉悶的生活.
一無是處的男生.
報讀了一個自我改造課程.
每逢遇上甚麼事情都要say yes.
生活起了很大的變化.

占基利.
正當人們向他say no.
我還是向他say yes.
好像是一種感情.
又像是一種態度.

The life of a legend


Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009

早上朋友傳來一個令人震驚的手機短訊: MJ dead jor :(
心一下子沉了下來.

五歲的Michael Jackson,
在父母有心安排下和兄長組成The Jackson 5樂團.
十多歲的時候他成為流行音樂榜的常客.
唱, 作, 跳的超凡才華,
舞臺上的一代皇者.
二十多歲的他征服了世界樂壇.
Michael Jackson的名字代表歡迎.
Michael Jackson的名字代表流行.

一個小伙子憑時間努力在八十年代,
成功演繹一個令人驚嘆的美國好夢.
花無百日紅.
後來的人和事.
往後的日子.
他不好過.

我在想我們究竟是怎樣看Michael Jackson呢?
也許早早得來的成就令他失去太多.
今天晚上我覺得他是一位悲劇人物.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson - She's Out Of My Life

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

路易威登:創意情感


Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation
香港藝術館 2009.05.22 – 08.09

Gilbert & George的大幅作品.
村上隆現代藝術和時裝工業的跨界合作.
同場的當代藝術展品都很城市化, 都很迷惑誘人.

我想社會上有奢侈品牌是沒有問題的.
問題只在乎我們的病態消費和年輕代.
30元入場費我知道我可以負擔得來.

Les Choristes


Les Choristes OST

歌聲伴我心是一部好電影.
一位失意教師到一間問題兒童寄宿學校任教.
透過合唱團的唱詠把學生引回正軌.
溫婉綿綿.

大人們做就的社會,
天天影響著兒童們的成長.
大人們愛抱怨,
一天又會賴到孩子的頭上.

想到孩提時的我, 比起現在就純潔得多.

Les Choristes - Caresse Sur L'océan

Caresse sur l'océan
Porte l'oiseau si léger
Revenant des terres enneigéeAir éphémère de l'hiver
Au loin ton écho s'éloigne
Châteaux en Espagne
Vire au vent tournoie déploie tes ailDans l'aube grise du levant
Trouve un chemin vers l'arc-en-ciel
Se découvrira le printemps

Caresse sur l'océan
Pose l'oiseau si léger
Sur la pierre d'une île immergée
Air éphémère de l'hiver
Enfin ton souffle s'éloigne
Loin dans les montagnes
Vire au vent tournoie déploie tes ailes
Dans l'aube grise du levant
Trouve un chemin vers l'arc-en-ciel
Se découvrira le printemps
Calme sur l'océan.

多謝


Cristiano Ronaldo (Aug 2003 to Jun 2009)

我肯定C朗拿度效力曼聯傑出的表現
他也是近年曼聯取得卓越成績的關鍵.

衷心多謝C朗拿度在這裡的貢獻.
還要多謝西甲豪門皇家馬德里的8000萬英磅.

希望來季我們可以在歐聯遇上皇家馬德里.
然後看看你和卡卡被淘汰時的沮喪樣子.

再見! C朗拿度.
多謝你!

抗戰二十年


這是怎樣一回事?

早上聽到香港電台播放這首歌,
一下子他又再重生過來了.

抗戰二十年 - Beyond
喔 你我霎眼抗戰二十年 世界怎變 我答應你那一點 不會變

當天空手空臂我們就上街 沒甚麼聲勢浩大
但被不安養大 不足養大 哪裡怕表態
當中一起經過了時代瓦解 十大執位再十大
路上風急雨大 一起嚇大 聽慣了警戒

應該珍惜的 即使犧牲了 激起的火花 仍然照耀

幾響槍火敲破了沉默領土 剩下燒焦了味道
現在少點憤怒 多些厚道 偶爾也很躁
不管這種爭拗有型或老套 未做好的繼續做
活著必須革命 心高氣傲 哪裡去不到

他雖走得早 他青春不老 灰色的軌跡 磨成血路

喔 你我霎眼抗戰二十年 世界怎變 永遠企你這一邊
喔 哪個再去抗戰二十年 去到多遠 我也銘記我起點 不會變

母親


Kabei-Our Mother

期待以久的一部電影.
母親是上年香港國際電影節的開幕電影, 票子不容易買.
盼望著上正場在電影院裡欣賞, 可惜都沒有上畫.
直到最近看見DVD推出了,
就高高興興把它帶回家.

導演山田洋次以家庭/親情為主題的片子.
對於我來說實在太有安全感.
電影中不是強調母親吉永小百合如何偉大.
山田洋次旨意描繪身為一位傳統日本母親.
在男人殘酷戰爭玩意下.
獨力堅守家庭和照顧一對女兒中的遭遇.
散發著女性獨特的優雅情操.
電影中反戰意味處處,
看起來更是舒懷感動.

日本男人很懂欺負女人,
一直都是.

Too Much Love Will Kill You


Freddie Mercury 1946 - 1991

有時候很慶幸找到心中所愛.
縱使留守到最後一刻.
縱使粉身碎骨萬劫不復.
我實在太愛妳了.
這一點我是沒有錯的.

Too Much Love Will Kill You - Queen
I´m just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I´m far away from home
And I´ve been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In me tangled state of mind
I´ve been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can´t make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You´re headed for disaster
´cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I´m just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there´s no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can´t you see that it´s impossible to choose
No there´s no making sense of it
Every way I go I´m bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It´ll drain the power that´s in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You´re the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It´ll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won´t understand why
You´d give your life, you´d sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
