The New Year



there'd be no distance that could hold us back

so this is the new year by Death Cab For Cutie


Happy New Year!

只要簡簡單單



簡簡單單
詞/曲:狗毛

我不懂 妳怎會這麼想
我以為我們都是愛著的
我以為愛情 也就是這樣
簡簡單單

我不管 全世界怎麼想
我以為我們一直是愛著的
我以為愛妳 也就是這樣
簡簡單單

我也許沒有錢
但我有一顆心
一顆愛妳的心
我想我們的關係
最好是維持這樣
簡簡單單

oh......oh.......
oh......oh.......
簡簡單單
只需要這樣
簡簡單單

Wish You Were Here




Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

夢醒了

夢醒了
作詞/作曲:袁惟仁
演唱:那英,王菲

我想起你描述夢想天堂的樣子 手指著遠方畫出一棟一棟房子
你傻笑的表情又那麼誠實 所有的信任是從那一刻開始

你給我一個到那片天空的地址 只因為太高摔得我血流不止
帶著傷口回到當初背叛的城市 唯一收容我的卻是自己的影子

想跟著你一輩子 至少這樣的世界沒有現實
想賴著你一輩子 做你感情裡最後一個天使

如果夢醒時還在一起 請容許我們相依為命
絢爛也許一時 平淡走完一世 是我選擇你這樣的男子
就怕夢醒時已分兩地 誰也挽不回這場分離
愛恨可以不分 責任可以不問 天亮了 我還是不是你的女人

What are you doing tonight?

Run Away With Me
by Jens Lekman

What are you gonna do on Christmas eve?
Please don’t spend it with your family
I know you love your mommy
But she’s more like a mummy

She’s so empty
She’s so empty
So run away with me

She’s so empty
She’s so empty
So run away with me

Yeah I know it’s been a bad year
And I could trace every tear
Back to your little eye
But I see a future for you and I

Cause we’re not empty
We’re not empty
So run away with me

We’re not empty
We’re not empty
So run away with me now, baby, now

Merry X'mas!!!

"THE WORLD NEEDS DREAMERS
AND THE WORLD NEEDS DOERS,
BUT MOST OF ALL
THE WORLD NEEDS DREAMERS
WHO DO..."

+ other quotes from Sarah Ban Breathnach

Blur is good

Thank you so much for your presents!
I really appreciate you/them.
I love you/ them so much.

Kate Moss Sings



Kate Moss sung with Primal Scream in the song, Some Velvet Morning.
I think it is a pretty good song.
Bobby Gillespie and Kate Moss are close friends.
However this is not the first time they sung together.
They sung together for the first time in, Diamond Blues.



ps1. Bobby 還真騷!
ps2. You're too sweet to die.

New Dawn Fades

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.

Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'

Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.

from Joy Division's debut album, Unknown Pleasure
Joy Division is my favourite band, and Ian is my hero.
I really love this song. I don't know how to describe it.
Let the song speak for itself...
And it indeed touched a lot of people, Moby, John Frusciante (RHCP guitarist), and plenty more

Lover, You Should've Come Over

一個人在輾轉難眠的夜裡,雖然眼前盡是我口中吐出了煙霧,腦袋裡滿滿塞的都是妳的影像。走在你身後,看著你曼妙的背影。妳回頭看我的那一瞬間,嘴角旁微微上揚的笑容。我像是個在草原上抓著蝴蝶的孩子,任由自己在無邊無際的想像世界裡捕捉你的一顰一笑。你不曾讓我抓住,卻一直環繞在身旁。

然而你不知道這樣卻會讓我更難受,你卻讓我更加的渴望能見到你一面。好希望你能就在我的身旁,我能把我的手環抱在你的肩膀。讓你把頭靠在我頭上,把身體也仰賴在我的身上。我們不需要關心我們能不能照顧對方,只要靠在你的身旁就夠了。或許,我根本不應該喜歡上妳,也不應該遇到妳。或許,該怪我都太年輕,沒能夠好好珍惜我這美好的愛和對擁有的事情滿足。

現在,愛人,我正等待著,我只希望你能夠來到我的身旁。難道你捨得我在這樣的夜裡和寂寞獨自纏鬥?難道你捨得我在這樣的夜裡劇烈的渴望著你的到來嘛?卻也絕望的知道你將永遠不會來到這陪我?


Saturday = Youth

M83's new album, released early this year.
I didn't get my hands around this, when it first came out.
So, I missed the opportunity to see them live.
I wish I could...
Because this album is epic! So good that I have to listen to it over and over again.
Especially Kim & Jessie and Graveyard Girl... along with Skin Of The Night, Couleurs and other tracks.
the design of the album is great as well... it's very youthful!
i love the graveyard girl video, but not so much for kim & jessie
so I put up their live performance for kim & jessie

Talking about movies


What's the point of watching movies?
To entertain us, to terrify us, to inspire us?
Well, everybody have their own reasons for that question, i guess.
However, for a good film, there's one thing that will happen to the audience: that the audiences become so involved with what's going on that we feel we are living the story ourselves.

I remember director Ang Lee once said: "all a good film does, is to make us feel something extraordinary and to think deep." Which I believe is true.

I can still recall when I finished watching "Brokeback Mountain". I really did feel something extraordinary, and really made me think a lot about life, the life that we all have to go through. It haunted me for nearly a week. I just don't understand how some people just cannot relate to this film. It is just a painful love story.

Since I'm still talking about Ang Lee, I might as well say more. I just found out that his next film is taking place at Woodstock in 1969. Wow, shit yeah! And the film is going to be comedy. I personally think it is a great idea of putting music and comedy together for this legendary concert, because Woodstock is all about peace and music, so hope it's going to be fun. I really look forward to this movie in 2009.

It's kind of cool to be a Taiwanese, and have an world-known Taiwanese director like Lee. And he is cool.

+ see Woodstock photos

Death Photos







these are photos that showed depression, sadness, and even terror.
but why?
because those people in the top hierarchy wants to remind us of the death.
make us to do the things that they want us to do...
examples: Hitler, The Aztec leaders, Moche leaders, and even Jesus Christ
except that Jesus is smarter, he used his image to reassure people and terrify people at the same time... wow so smart!

if you're interested, visit here
there are other episodes about art.

Charlotte



She's got a rose in her smile
She says she knows and she does

And her mind aches
And her heart breaks
'Cause she's silly

Gonna teach her to sin
'Cause I'm always knowing where she's been
Livin' on the wrong side of the tracks
And you know she's never
Coming back

She's got a smile like a flower
She looks so fine by the hour

But her mind aches
And her heart breaks
'Cause she's silly

Gonna teach her to steal
'Cause I'm always knowing
how she feels
Livin' on the wrong side of the tracks
And I know she's never
Coming back

Oh no...

And her mind aches...
And her heart breaks...
'Cause she's silly...

To me (2x)

a beautiful and haunting song by Hope Sandoval
from the album Bavarian Fruit Bread
after the breakup of Mazzy Star,
joined with Colm O'Ciosoig (formerly of My Bloody Valentine)
to form Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions.
but still able to maintain the 90's slowcore sound.

一當愛了,就隨刺痛

一個不確定的愛,就像插入腳底板的刺
當你開始走下了,隨時都會感覺她的痛



嫉妒


作詞:陳綺貞 作曲:陳綺貞 編曲:李欣芸

愛上了你
愛上了你的一切
揮不去的是那個 沒有我的世界
心中的一個結 緊緊的鎖住我
微弱似風中不安感受

該如何面對你溫柔眼神
當心中有了疑問
而我是不是你的唯一
而你是不是真的在乎我

請相信我
請相信我的心
就這樣地墜入幸福的深淵

嫉妒你的快樂 它並不是因為我
真心退縮在黑暗角落

該如何傾聽你溫柔聲音
它並不只屬於我
而你是不是真的在乎我
而我是不是你的永久
