這一定是慘綠少年強說愁,一個國二男生哪來這種失去心愛女人的感覺,不過這首歌當時也是我一再重複聽的歌之一.藍調口琴的前奏一響起,整個空氣就凝結在那種追憶的情緒中.緬懷如流水般逝去的戀情(當時當然沒有,現在嗎?我沒有交過叫Sara的女友). Sara by Starship
Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line Move on, it's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
CHORUS: Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before (And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more (And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
I'll never find another girl like you We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
CHORUS
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...
吹藍調口琴以很酷的姿態出現這種形象一度很吸引我,不過隨著年歲的增長,我了解我不適合耍帥, I am too friendly to be cool.
第一次聽這首歌應該是國二的聖誕節前夕,當時的國中生其實談不上什麼過節 雖然當時行憲紀念日有放假,好像還是要去學校考試, 不過等公車旁的唱片行不停的放,不知不覺這首歌似乎成了我覺得好像聖誕節一定要有的歌曲 對中學生來說這種帶有戀愛傷痕的應景歌曲,也許比起其他的聖誕歌曲更有情感的感染力吧 "Last Christmas" by wham!
Chorus: Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, You gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, You gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby do you recognise me? Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Chorus
(Oooh. Oooh Baby)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice My God I thought you were someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man undercover but you tore me apart Oooh Oooh Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Chorus
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (Gave you my heart) A man undercover but you tore me apart Next year I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special special someone
The Cardigans 最為大眾熟悉的作品應該是Lovefool,不過那個曲風對我來說甜度過高,所以當時我並沒有非常愛羊毛衫(嗯,我喜歡這個翻譯名),不過我並不算他們的fans,如果停留在Lovefool對他們的印象的話,可能會被他們其他作品給驚嚇到,因為他們的曲風非常多變,簡直沒有固定風格,Wiki的描述是"The band's musical style has varied greatly from album to album and encompasses their early indie leanings passing through '60s-inspired pop and more band-based rock."
坦白說,這歌詞配合上MV後其實有點恐怖的味道,有點輸了感情不惜毀滅一切的感覺,本來很好聽的歌,突然多了一種鬼氣,我有點後悔去看歌詞,人生最恐怖的事之一就是遇到那種活在自己世界裏,你怎麼說他都聽不進或是用自己想要的方式解讀,這種恐怖真的會讓人精神衰弱.我個人的恐怖經歷是: No matter how hard I tried, it still took my polite "NO" as a "YES". 簡直跟戰慄遊戲一樣. 到現在都還心有餘悸. "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans
I don't know what you're looking for you haven't found it baby, that's for sure You rip me up and spread me all around in the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see it's not a matter of you versus of me It's fine the way you want me on your own but in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game you're losing your mind again I'm losing my baby losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for another you so I could love you more I really thought that I could take you there but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right a stupid mission and a lethal fight I should have seen it when my hope was new my heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game you're losing your mind again I'm losing my favourite game I've tried but you're still the same I'm losing my baby you're losing a saviour and a saint
