Almost in 2 bars

1973,Eagles, Desperado.

在中文裡，有一個詞叫做「驚艷」，剛才國語辭典線上版讓我小失望，因為說找不到，也罷，字典的解釋似乎來的太沒感情，而我心中對這個詞的連結，就是英文的stun。許阿白字典有云：「驚艷，短時間內足以讓人驚呼『天啊！也太美妙了吧！』者，用來形容藝術類之視覺與聽覺尤佳。」

我的Mp3 player一向躺著一些歌，來來去去，令我驚艷者不在少數，今天分享的是近半年來讓我不忍釋出的高檔貨，我想說說。當然，也很主觀，cuz it only comforts my heart。說到這些令人驚艷的歌，一如本文title所示，幾乎都在兩小節內攻佔我全身的音樂細胞，有的是旋律一出來就把我搞的"世界只剩音樂和我"，例如莫文蔚's<真的嗎>以及范曉萱's<我要我們在一起>；有的是歌詞第一句衝出來就如海嘯一樣整個把我的心吞沒，例如Eagles' Desperado還有齊秦's<原來的我>。有的則是，不知道為什麼，有一種"I was born to listen to you"的感覺，就像Travis' Closer。

現在這一段，是寫完下面的部分後，回來補上的。本來，我打算把上面提到的歌都來播播、說說，不過把內心的東西掏出來實實在在說過以後，就沒力氣再立刻寫其他歌曲了。雖然下面的描述很短，但也確實是不折不扣的濃縮，之後再看了看歌詞，然後我就累了，想停筆了。

其實好好聽這首歌是需要勇氣的，因為我一直相信，人並不是生來就能符合這個社會的要求活著，內心總有些東西吧！那麼，感慨一下又怎樣呢? 到現在，我覺得，要深深的痛哭過，人生才會更完整，然後，往後的日子裡，能面對與接受的幅度也會比較廣闊。

1973,Eagles, Desperado.


Desperado，非常悲傷的旋律，可是因為又充滿country rock的精神主軸，表達出來的並不是真如字面所示的爛人、暴徒之類者，有一點像...在現實的詰問之下，因為不願意違背自我心靈，最終被世界以遺棄的態度對待。歌詞寫的非常、非常好，我經常很認真的聽著，聽到某些部分總會深深倒吸一口氣，眼睛往上看，以阻止淚水的湧現。後來日劇<華麗一族>用這首歌當背景音樂，搭得很剛好。至於這部日劇是怎麼一回事，在這就不多說了。

"Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The Queen of hearts is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get

Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
Freedom, ah, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking thru this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You'd better let somebody love you
You'd better let somebody love you
Before it's too late "

See? We are all desperados somehow.
But, after that, we should be more tolerant to many differences. That is life.

To share with you.
