    Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies For The Film Curious George by Jack Johnson ( upside down)

        The animation movie Curious George is farely simple: a really troublesome but curious Klein Monkey called George became a man's trusted friend after runs and runs of accidence. It can easily catch hearts of people like me, with typical monkey characteristic.  But the most brilliant thing about this movie is its theme song, written and sung by Jack Johnson- Upside down.

         Yeh, there is nothing wrong to be rebellious, let's enjoy turning things upside down. Sometimes I can dream I am that curious George, swing among trees and disappear in the rainforest. The Chaos are welcomed, to mess up life and disorder the cliche mindsets. Getting born by frivolous R&B and lousy, insipid lyrics? Easy, turn to Jack Johnson to explore your emotions.

         You gonna know, the forms of the best music are those expressing undescripble joy, not those labeled "pop" or "best seller". Don't miss out Jack Johnson nice albums, such a summer breeze.

    Who's to say
    What's impossible
    Well they forgot
    This world keeps spinning
    And with each new day
    I can feel a change in everything
    And as the surface breaks reflections fade
    But in some ways they remain the same
    And as my mind begins to spread its wings
    There's no stoppin' curiosity

    I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
    I'll find the things they say just can't be found
    I'll share this love I find with everyone
    We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
    I don't want this feeling to go away

    Who's to say
    I can't do everything
    Well I can try
    And as I roll along I begin to find
    Things aren't always just what they seem

    I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
    I'll find the things they say just can't be found
    I'll share this love I find with everyone
    We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
    This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
    Will it all keep spinning and spinning round and round and

    Upside down
    Who's to say whats impossible and can't be found
    I don't want this feeling to go away

    Please Don't go away
    is this how it's supposed to be

    She's got a way about her

     

    Believe me, the one you first think up when listening to the song is the one you truly love; just can't deny that:)
    Well, this song actually was written for his blessed mother but nevertheless also perfectly use for lover, for her.

     

    She's got a way about her

    Billy Joel

    She's got a way about her
    I don't know what it is
    But I know that I can't live without her
    She's got a way of pleasin'
    I don't know what it is
    But there doesn't have to be a reason anywhere
    She's got a smile that heals me
    I don't know why it is
    But I have to laugh when she reveals me
    She's got a way of talkin'
    I don't know why it is
    But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
    She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
    Inspires me without a sound
    She touches me and I get turned around
    She's got a way of showin'
    How I make her feel
    And I found the strength to keep on goin'
    She's got a light around her
    And everywhere she goes
    A million dreams of love surround her everywhere
    She's got a smile that heals me
    Oh I don't know why it is
    But I have to laugh when she reveals me anyway

    小情书 (I)

    最近大扫除,居然找出了2000 年我写给我家先生的情书兼生日卡,先生大喜,说,看吧,果然是当年你先追我的。其实当时是先生用非情书的方法软磨硬泡追到我的,却总是一副大义凛然的样子告诉我要不是他,我现在还不知道在哪儿流浪呢。我也是很不屑说,“拜托,要不是我舍身就义,你可能还是处男”。先生说,我很忙,你自己一边去玩。那就是典型的他遇到不知道要说我什么好的时候

     

    美好记忆有一点意思是总是给你甜蜜的一蜇,想起来认识他9年,结婚4年,期间有无数快乐的日子,也有一些没必要的争吵,温馨的拌嘴,还有假装离家出走,一起学乐器,抢电视资源,相互推卸家务,日子还算圆润丰满。我的一个同事看见我和先生手牵手在一起,过后对我说,你跟你男朋友好粘呀,我大笑,对她说,他早就update 到老公了,没法子,套牢了。

     

    昨天突然尖叫一声,我们俩都给忘了几天前是结婚纪念日。以前每年怎么庆祝都记得,难道今年大脑进水,把这给忘了?我于是对先生说,“你的错,把这给忽略了,怎么补偿,你说吧”。先生委屈的说,“你自己忘了,还好意思说,你又要变着法子来要点什么,名正言顺的,对吧?”

     

    好吧,既然你怎么说,我就要一个三脚钢琴吧,66grand piano,最近在on sale.” 我说

    “我没听错吧?等你弹好了先,你现在连娱人娱己都做不到,再说,家里放不下,你不会顺便把钢琴当餐桌吧?” 他说

    好吧,那我们买一个大一点的房子大的有足够空间可以放大钢琴的吧

    不会吧,原来你兜了那么久是要买大房子当礼物的呀“

    “嗯,怕太直白你受不了”

    “我还不不知道你!!”

     

     

    还有一次,我好不容易下厨,把饭菜都给弄了,等到上桌,先生也不说话,胡拉胡拉的就开吃了。我还忒得意,问他说, “怎么样,本姑娘做的饭菜可口吧?” 他头也不抬说,“你做饭做的那么慢,饿死老子了。”从此,基本上他做饭,只有我心情好的时候才客串。他一个大男生穿着我粉红色的Mickey Mouse的围裙(家中唯一的一条),实在是可爱。我喜欢戏弄地评论这种打扮在gay bar一定很受欢迎。

     

     

    每天一起可以开心的在一起,是婚姻赐与的一种幸福。时间是记录情书的最好工具,还记得和他用钢琴和吉他合奏<<come back to Sorrento>>, 故意弹的很快,看着他跟不上抓狂的表情;还记的在地铁里无聊的时候和他玩成语接龙;还有他总能容忍我下棋时每次都悔棋,还悔好多步……..我可能是个顽皮坏孩子,坏学生,不过我会尽力做个好妻子,生活本来就是一出喜剧。你说呢?

     

    好了,今天好听的歌是来自苏打绿的小情歌,台湾大学生自己写的,温馨的曲风以及平和的描写,一定会让你想起一个美好的下午,和你的恋人走在城市的某个角落,有一段路手牵手,有一段路你小步的追逐着她,咯咯的笑,在哪一个季节和城市并不重要。

    小情歌
    词曲:吴青峰

    演唱:苏打绿


    苏打绿-小情歌


    这是一首简单的小情歌
    唱着人们心肠的曲折

    我想我很快乐

    当有你的温热

    脚边的空气转了

    唱着我们心头的白鸽

    我想我很适合

    当一个歌颂者

    青春在风中飘着

    你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒

    我会给你怀抱

    受不了看见你背影来到

    写下我度秒如年难捱的离骚

    就算整个世界被寂寞绑票

    我也不会奔跑

    逃不了最后谁也都苍老

    写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡

    最后谁也都苍老 

    White Flag

    以前一直觉的dido的曲风太单调,一听就知道是她的,大不列颠岛国就爱出很多特色但是曲风专一的歌手,比如说很出名的Enya..
    一直以为这是首普通的歌,歌词也不华丽,结果听了第二遍就决定加入自己的music list,一首很执着的情歌, 对爱永不放弃,真爱可能一生只来一次,也许只是一瞬间的犹豫就失之交臂了。
     
    下一个目标就是要是要买一台很棒的hi-fi,可以把音乐的能量无限地扩张,耳朵不用再受耳塞地苦了。
     
        White Flag
        I know you think that I shouldn't still love you

    I'll tell you that

    But if I didn't say it

    Well, I'd still have felt it

    Where's the sense in that?

    I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder

    Or return to where we were

    Well I will go down with this ship

    And I won't put my hands up and surrender

    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'm in love and always will be

    I know I left too much mess

    And destruction to come back again

    And I caused but nothing but trouble

    I understand if you can't talk to me again

    And if you live by the rules of "It's over"

    Then I'm sure that that makes sense

    Well I will go down with this ship

    And I won't put my hands up and surrender

    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'm in love and always will be

    And when we meet

    As I'm sure we will

    All that was then

    Will be there still

    I'll let it pass

    And hold my tongue

    And you will think

    That I've moved on

    Well I will go down with this ship

    And I won't put my hands up and surrender

    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'm in love and always will be

    I will go down with this ship

    And I won't put my hands up and surrender

    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'm in love and always will be

    I will go down with this ship

    And I won't put my hands up and surrender

    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'm in love and always will be

    Forever At Your Feet

       这首歌今天听了数不清多少遍了,陶醉在雨飘在钢琴声中的感觉,歌手Sussana 是个乡村歌手,声音好纯,有一点淡淡的忧愁,可是歌词简单但是优美,听过几次后就觉得这些忧愁慢慢变得甜美起来,就象一杯black coffee渐渐加入咖啡伴侣和糖,轮廓一点一点清晰..一直浮现在脑海的是姑娘表白的太迟,情人刚刚收起锚,远航去了,姑娘站在雨中呢喃着要说的话..雷声和雨声夹杂着。一首好的歌真的不亚于一首动人的诗...Forever at your feet

    Knocking on the triad
    A boat that makes for rain
    A briar grows in twain with roses
    Come to rid
    Forever at your feet

    Glass and pinch of breast
    Knocking at my tray
    While leave on
    Please take me home my long to leave
    Forever at your feet

    And I hope that you won’t mind, my dear
    When you see my eyes are lie, my dear
    It’s because I avoided all these of you
    All your kisses, sweeter than mint
    And touch them
    Softer than sea
    Oh, treasure
    I would be~~~
    Forever at your feet

    And I hope that you won’t mind, my dear
    When you see my eyes are lie, my dear
    It’s because I avoided all these of you
    All your kisses, sweeter than mint
    And touch them
    Softer than sea
    Oh, treasure
    I would be~~~
    Forever at your feet

    依然范特西

       现在才来听这张专辑,可能是太土了,可是以前一直都不感冒周杰伦,但是很喜欢方文山写的歌词,很像添词的手法,很多欲言又止的篇章。终究是自己太懒,就叫好友给烧了一张盘,回到家来回的放,才发现其实很值得买这张专辑。以前在上海,可能买过超过200张各种古典和流行的CD,但是发现商业的手段都是一张所谓的专辑只有一首到两首能听的,其他都是用快进的方式跳跃性地欣赏,尽管收入已经远远高于以前了,但是再也没有兴趣买CD了,变成了无耻的free rider,去internet上下载了。离开上海的时候全部堆在Fan's家,不知道他老人家开心还是难过..
        终究还是有问题,自己的懒惰宠坏了自己,没有去寻觅好音乐的激情,而是读乐评或者在车上听radio的介绍去下载歌,没劲。到后来学钢琴的时候,又听了很多古典音乐的不同版本。习惯还是改不了,喜欢的反复听,直到受不了为止,不喜欢的直接跳过。有一次在同事的车上听很老的Roxette's greatest hit album,每首都听半分钟就进下一首,同事笑言女人都很花心...
        今天和老公去看电影,结果只买到2小时后的电影票,就在CD shop里听demo CD,硬是站了一个半小时,听了7,8张推荐CD的主打曲目,觉得开CD shop是多么幸福的事情,下次再写我最喜欢的几首歌的评论好了..
     
       废话少说,来读一下这个可爱的歌词吧..

    《千里之外》歌词

    演唱:周杰伦&费玉清 专辑:《依然范特西》
    词:方文山  曲:周杰伦

    屋簷如悬崖  风铃如沧海  我等燕归来
    时间被安排  演一场意外  妳悄然走开

    故事在城外  浓雾散不开  看不清对白
    妳听不出来  风声不存在  是我在感慨

    梦醒来  是谁在窗台  把结局打开
    那薄如蝉翼的未来  经不起谁来拆

    我送妳离开  千里之外  妳无声黑白
    沉默年代  或许不该  太遥远的相爱

    我送妳离开  天涯之外  妳是否还在
    琴声何来  生死难猜  用一生  去等待

    闻泪声入林  寻梨花白  只得一行  青苔
    天在山之外  雨落花台  我两鬢斑白
    闻泪声入林  寻梨花白  只得一行  青苔
    天在山之外  雨落花台  我等妳来

    一身琉璃白  透明著尘埃  妳无瑕的爱
    妳从雨中来  诗化了悲哀  我淋湿现在

    芙蓉水面採  船行影犹在  妳却不回来
    被岁月覆盖  妳说的花开  过去成空白

    梦醒来  是谁在窗台  把结局打开
    那薄如蝉翼的未来  经不起谁来拆

    我送妳离开  千里之外  妳无声黑白
    沉默年代  或许不该  太遥远的相爱

    我送妳离开  天涯之外  妳是否还在
    琴声何来  生死难猜  用一生  去等待
