Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit

今天下午在学校中心的草坪上,有免费的演出。表演的是来自澳大利亚的 Strange Fruit,算是马戏杂技之类的?小丑们站在4米高的有弹性可弯曲的直杆顶端做各种表演。夏日的午后,逃出实验室,看看这么有趣的表演,实在是惬意的很。学校对演出的介绍里说,“Perched atop 13-foot high flexible poles with the sky as their backdrop, Strange Fruit enacts a spirited, seductive comedy—full of love and loss, joy and freedom—up on high.”他们的表演的确非常好看,看的我一直灿烂的咧着嘴。他们的表演也都是讲述着故事的,看着小丑们在空中摇来摆去,彼此靠近再远离,就好像现实中的我们,不可避免的忽远忽近。这个演出很好看,我很喜欢。演出接近尾声,四个小丑向四个大方向分别“深度鞠躬”,观众都快乐的鼓着掌,我想小丑脸上的笑容是真实的,看到这么多人因自己而乐呵呵,应该是件很满足的事情:)。

拿手机拍了些片段。我就站在音箱的正前方,所以video里的音乐应该很强劲,呵呵。如果连我这里速度太慢或者因为其他原因无法观看下面的片段,可以试着下载到机器里再看(右键另存),是quicktime格式的。我还传了一份到 google video YouTube 上(链接) ((没想到 google video 在国内还不能用,不过已经传了,链接在 )),可能速度会好一些,不过效果稍微差一点点。

Michael Bublé – Everything

长椅

两种历法,就使得人一年有了两个生日。只是绝大多数的农历生日,都是被遗忘了的那个,今年还是我妈提到我才知道日子,否则也不会想起来。不过我的农历生日回忆到也不完全是空白,嗯。其实是听到首甜蜜到腻的小情歌,想放上来,正好想起又是这么个日子。另外,昨天还是巴西的情人节哪,差一点就凑到一起了。

Michael Bublé – Everything

Michael Bublé – Everything

You’re a fallen star
You’re the getaway car
You’re the line in the sand
When I go too far
You’re the swimming pool
On an August day
And you’re the perfect thing to say

And you play it coy
But it’s kinda cute
Oh when you smile at me
You know exactly what you do
Baby don’t pretend
That you don’t know it’s true
‘Cause you can see it when I look at you

And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It’s you, it’s you
You make me sing
You’re every line
You’re every word
You’re everything

You’re a carousel
You’re a wishing well
And you’ll hang me up
When you ring my bell
You’re a mystery
You’re from outer space
You’re every minute of my everyday

And I can’t believe that I’m your man
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can
Whatever comes our way
We’ll see it through
And you know that’s what our love can do

And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It’s you, it’s you
You make me sing
You’re every line
You’re every word
You’re everything

You’re every song
And I sing along
‘Cause you’re my everything

So laa, laa, laa, la, laa ,la, laa

儿童节快乐 Five For Fighting

// June 1st, 2007 // 5 Comments » // Life, Music & Show

儿童节快乐,嗯。
You and me, we are both supermen.

Five For Fighting – Superman

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that nieve
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird
I’m more than a plane
I’m more than some pretty face
Beside a train
and it’s not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
fall upon my knees
find a way to lie
about a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd
but don’t be nieve
even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
but wont you concede
even heroes have the right to dream
and its not easy to be me

Up up and away away from me
Well it’s all right you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that nieve
Men weren’t meant to ride
with clouds between their knees

I’m only a man
in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
I’m only a man
in a phony red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, Inside of me, Inside of me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a phony red sheet
I’m only a man looking
for a dream
I’m only a man
in a phony red sheet
And it’s not easy
Ohhh ohhhh ohhhhhhh
It’s not easy to be me

Ever Fallen In Love?

// May 24th, 2007 // No Comments » // Music & Show

这首 Nouvelle Vague 翻唱 Buzzcocks 的1978年的老歌,是在实验室无聊的调光具时听到的。这个翻唱的节奏欢快的很,非常适合随之摇摆起舞。“And if I start a commotion, I run the risk of losing you, and that’s worse”。That’s definitely worse @_^。

Nouvelle Vague – Ever Fallen In Love

Ever Fallen In Love

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

I can’t see much of a future
Unless we find out what’s to blame
What a shame (oh what a shame)
And we can’t be together
Until we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I’ll only end up losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

La la la la la la…

Arco – All This World

// May 10th, 2007 // 7 Comments » // Music & Show

让我们再来听一首慢歌。这两天都处在憋 thesis proposal 的紧张境地,要每天给老板提交新版本听取意见,下周一就要交给committee们了,然后再周一就要小defense了,咳咳,我现在十分惧怕再以后的正式thesis,搞不定啊。我不是一个特别能安安静静做事的人,而戴上耳机听缓的音乐,不会分散注意力,反而会让我精神更容易集中,比较不受外界干扰。想我大四申请时,无数个漫漫长夜就是这么度过的啊。Arco的音乐也很适合用做戴着耳机写东西的时候听,虽然其实他的词都很并不积极向上。这首 All this world,就很消极,但是有点 negative positive 的感觉,我是觉得副歌挺好听。反正是有助于我好好攒论文。

Arco – All This World

all this world

pale and clear the light of dawn
evening’s laughter long gone
even love a forgotten need

draw the shade and face the day
feel illusion float away
hold the dream and let it free

how many strangers d’you have to meet?
how many old friends d’you have to see?
with how many lovers d’you have to sleep?
to know that you’re alone in all this world

feel the fear and let it pass
hear the questions no-one asks
close your eyes and let them see

how many strangers d’you have to meet?
how many times kneel at your god’s feet?
with how many lovers d’you have to sleep?
to know that you’re alone in all this world
