The Blower's Daughter-Damien Rice

Better Man- by Robbie Williams

This is one of my favorite songs.

Better Man

Send someone to love me

I need to rest in arms

Keep me safe from harm

In pouring rain

Give me endless summer

Lord I fear the cold

Feel I'm getting old

Before my time

As my soul heals the shame

I will grow through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience

'Cause it's not my fault

I know I've been taught

To take the blame

Rest assured my angels

Will catch my tears

Walk me out of here

I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame

I will grow through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

Once you've found that lover

You're homeward bound

Love is all around

Love is all around

I know some have fallen

On stony ground

But Love is all around

Send someone to love me

I need to rest in arms

Keep me safe from harm

In pouring rain

If Tomorrow never comes----- Ronan Keating

這是我最愛的一首歌之一
也因為這首歌二話不說買了他的CD

一個人 坐在重慶南路二樓的咖啡廳
一遍又一遍的聽著 讓我很安心的念書
(我也不知道為什麼?)
第二天又重複著

我想把這首歌送給我的家人和朋友們
謝謝你們 我愛你們

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights
Lay there in the dark

And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I love her
Did I try in every way to show her everyday
She's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
She must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Going to be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cos I've lost a love once in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Well there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I love her
Did I try in every way to show her everyday
She's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
She must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Going to be enough to lastIf tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

矢島美容室

聽了oricon和儂儂的介紹
這個團體設定是母女三人
從內達華洲來的 所以日文不好
像是dream girls 般的組合
（從前奏就很明顯的表現出這樣的特色）

還頗喜歡這首動感歌 應該是覺得有趣吧
特地找了youtube 雖然不是很清晰但有歌詞兼翻譯
原來是一些很蠢的歌詞阿 哈

p.s.竟然還出現了ponyo 哈哈哈

同樣是周格泰

X'mas還沒到

But this is one of my favorites

Dimonds and rust

Well , I'll be damned
我的老天！
Here comes your ghost again
你的魅影又再度出現
But that's not unusual
但這並非不尋常
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call
只因今晚滿月，你恰巧又打電話來
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
我坐在這兒，手持聽筒
Hearing a voice I'd known a couple of light years ago
聽著幾個光年以前就很熟悉的聲音
Heading straight for a fall
準備再次受到傷害

As I remember your eyes
依稀記得你的雙眼
were bluer than robin's eggs
比知更鳥的蛋更藍
My poetry was lousy, you said
你說我寫的詩糟透了
"Where were you calling from?"
"你從那裡打電話來？"
"A booth in the Midwest"
"在中西部的某個電話亭"

Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks
十年前我買過袖扣送你
You brought me something
你亦回贈了一些東西給我
We both know what memories can bring
我們都明白回憶能夠給我們什麼
They bring diamonds and rust
它們給了我們鑽石與鐵鏽

Well, you burst on the scene were already a legend
當你鋒芒乍現的情景，已然成了傳奇
The unwatched phenomenon
彷彿令人無法逼視的自然現象
The original vagabond, you strayed into my arms
原本是個流浪者，你漂泊入我的臂彎
And there you stayed temporarily lost at sea
而你的停留，如海上的短暫迷航
The Madonna was yours for free
受到聖母的眷顧
Yes, the girl on the half-shell
是的，這個女孩像蚌殼一般
Would keep you unharmed
能保護你不被傷害

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
Snow in your hair
如今，我看到你佇立在黃葉紛飛中，髮上覆著白雪
Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
你微笑著，在那可以遠眺華盛頓廣場的小旅館窗前
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles and hangs in the air
你我呼出的氣如雲霧般交錯，凝結在冷空氣中
Speaking strictly for me
對我來說
We both could've died then and there
當時氣氛凝重，彷彿能致你我於死地

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
如今你對我說，你並不懷鄉念舊
Then give me another word for it
那麼請你找另一個字來代替
You who're so good with words and at keeping things vague
你向來擅於咬文嚼字，使之曖昧難懂
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
因為現在我正需要那樣的曖昧
It's all come back too clearly
過去的一切都太清晰了
Yes , I love you dearly
是的，我深愛著你
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
如果你又給我鑽石與鐵鏽
I've already paid
告訴你，我已付出過代價了

背後故事：
Joan Baez(瓊 拜雅斯)在1975年發表的專輯
這首歌是關於她與民謠搖滾之父Bob Dylan(巴布狄倫)的戀情
她的歌聲清亮透澈 在60年代所謂民歌時期便享有盛名
而此時 她遇見了歌唱事業如日中天的Bob Dylan
彼此才華洋溢相互吸引 而展開戀情
那時的他們形影不離 一起巡迴演唱
甚至一起演過電影 他們在歌壇可說是對神仙的愛侶
然而兩人個性的差異卻也讓這對伴侶分離

Bob習慣了四處漂流 無法定下來
最後這段戀情無疾而終
於是Joan Baez在1975年寫下了這首經典
用晦澀迷濛的意境描述這段如同鑽石與鐵鏽般的戀情
從歌詞細微處也盡見她就算在事過境遷後
仍無法坦然面對這舊日情懷所帶給她的傷痛
（摘錄自while my guitar weeps）

For our KiKi

難得因為颱風大家都在家 媽媽前兩天
又不耐煩得催促我 什麼時候才要把kiki的照片給她
今天早上把音樂配上 隨意加幾個字 算是完成
午餐後 給她一個驚喜
媽媽並不知道我會做成小影片 雖然很簡陋
但至少達到每張照片她都要有的要求

有時候下意識以為kiki在房間的某處
躲起來睡覺罷了
這回也睡太久囉
真是不真實

誠實地想你

雞皮疙瘩 疙瘩疙瘩

well....
真的把我這個鄉巴佬嚇到了

Say it to me now

from: Once

I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say for
You'd better say it now

Cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow

Cause I'm picking up a message Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before

So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now

Lucy in the sky with Diamonds

Don't write me off
