不知道從什麼時候開始，在每個東西上面都有一個日子，秋刀魚會過期，肉醬也會過期，連保鮮紙都會過期，我開始懷疑，在這個世界上，還有什麼東西是不會過期的？
Young Folks
I don't care if 11,000,000 people have seen this. I still love it. It still sounds good as ever. Not only has a catchy sing-along melody, but also got very decent lyrics about the youngster falling in love.
I don't know what others think, but I feel this is a bittersweet song. When the boy sings "would you go along with someone like me?", you know he is probably a shy and not a confident person at all but he wants to love and be loved. Then the sweet girl sings "i would go along with someone like you, it doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with, we could stick around and see this night through". That completes a sweet little love circle. At the night time, two people entwined, alone, loving. I found it very touching. Then the chorus is just what lovers do together, happy time. Just talking and talking.
In the bonus tracks of Writer's Block, I particularly love the sitar version of this song, called Sitar Folks. No words, just meditating sounds.
Oh! Sweet Nuthin'
The guitar in the beginning of the song is heartbreakingly beautiful... It melts my soul. She ain't got nothing at all.
Pinball, 1973
I am the rat. Nowhere to go. No direction. Drown in emptiness.It's good to pick up Murakami's books from time to time.
Because I think we share understanding about isolation.
