人老了, 音樂不會變

A-HA 出 take on me 那年剛好是我國中一年級的時候, 也是剛接觸西洋音樂的瘋狂歲月!!
那年印象深刻的音樂好多, 過了這麼久, 每次聽到還是會很感動!! Tears for fears 的 shout , 好多那年的MV 在那時沒有CD 沒有VCD 沒有第四台 只有廣播 電視 的時代, 因為資訊不多所以才會印象如此令人深刻嗎?? 因為得來不易所以會更用心去體會嗎?
半夜不睡只為了聽 ICRT 播放的年度排行TOP 100, 以為只有 HitFM radio 會做這個事嗎? ICRT 早就有過了, 也是從12月31日早上開始播, 到跨年時剛好撥第一名的歌. 偶爾會去別人家看那還是非法的第四台節目, 不是看志村健, 是看 MTV , 那時還沒有分那麼多台, Jp MTV Asia MTV TW MTV, 就一台衛星頻道叫做MTV! 那時真是只聽音樂不說話的好頻道!! 現在一天到晚在搞時尚介紹名牌, what 4?? 時代潮流會變, 正確的事卻是永不變!!
A-HA 這幾各已經變成老人的挪威人, 沒有消失 沒有解散, 只是在台灣變的不紅而已, 專輯單曲還是都有再出, 只是 曲風跟歌詞越寫越深入 越成熟, 當然跟主流意識的音樂就越遠了!! 我猜目的只是透露出他們的成長, 也帶動著歌迷的成長, 這麼多年了, 我想我依然還是他們的 fancy!! MAnhatan skyline這首歌出自他們的第2張專輯吧? 不過專輯名稱確定是流氓日子!選這首歌 因為很感傷很壓抑, 最後由主唱高亢的聲音透出高潮, 有讓人最後終於流下一滴眼淚的感覺, 辭鋪陳的不錯, 曲更是電子音樂的另一種嘗試!! 曲隔多年, 停一下聽一首吧!

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
My boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
Don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how, how can you say that I didn't try
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry, no
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

But you know I don't want to fall again
Don't want to know this pain
Don't want another friend
Don't want to try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say that I didn't try
You know I did
You see thngs in the depths of my eyes
that my loves run dry

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons

Manhattan Skyline
