今天早晨,在后院微凉的风中,感到秋天的来临。
孩子们在听Sting,用Tape Video听,他们调不出图像,我给他们调
好,当时是一首熟悉的旋律Fragile,一下把我带到生命的"脆弱",这
比秋天还“秋”的主题。旋律对人的触动是那么深,还有风。秋风触
身,正好把歌词、旋律与配器打入内心,我思绪又起。
那一年的秋天,我刚踏上英文的土地,就是Sting的歌。那时听歌词
的水平不行,也只是旋律。最先是Ten Summoner's Tales,那一盘
歌不知道听了多少遍,每一首都喜欢。以后我又买了一盒他的录像带
Fields Of Gold - The Best Of Sting 1984-1994,那时候还没有
DVD。就是这盘录像带了。
The Soul Cages, ...Nothing Like the Sun, The Dream of the
Blue Turtles。我跟朋友说,如果一首歌或歌词用作了书的标题,电
影标题,还有文章甚至报纸引用频频,那大凡是一首顶好的歌。这个
自然,如theBeatles的Across the Universe以及他们诸多传记。
孩子喜欢Sting, Fields Of Gold,并一遍一遍地听,用CD,用Video
Tape,用iTouch听。我想个中渊源,是我的喜爱,无形中影响了他
们。说无形,自然我能找到一些形状来。记得曾经在自然博物馆看大
屏幕电影,是讲海底珊瑚礁自然生命的丰富与脆弱,那铺天漫地的生
命中伴随的音乐,就是这首Fragile:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0dMBqtGtOU
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
当然这段音乐还被许多电影选用,记得当年911,这歌也时兴。生命美丽
,Fields Of Gold,丰收后的大地,海子的诗中说:黑夜从大地上升起/
遮住了光明的天空/丰收后荒凉的大地/黑夜从你内部升起......春蕃秋杀,
生命确实也很脆弱,作为个体,无论是时间,还是物质上,心灵上,都是
那么不堪一击。

赤道线写完了,我可以下载了。觉得吧,太密集,像个人笔记。
对我这类人就难了些,比读科学论文还吃力。
终于看到俩小铁蛋了,倍儿精神。谢谢。
你家儿子这么小上就听这么深情的曲子,我家儿子只听如下歌
曲,希望我没搅线。今年他去法国少年营,学的都是儿童歌曲,
回家又跳又唱,把我笑坏了。这叫永不消失的童年。

也上一首喜欢的Sting凑趣, for fragility in life and the sweet intoxication of the fall.
"Desert Rose"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxRewGi77k
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall - posted on 09/01/2009

秋,Fragile。。。忘词了
草叶的slide挺漂亮。我续貂吧。 - Re: 秋,Fragileposted on 09/02/2009
这条线很美!
昨晚我半夜醒来, 坐在厨房边的窗子上(很大的一个bay window), 月光很亮很亮。。。
很多的秋虫高一声低一声的在歌唱。。。很美的。 各位知道是些什么样的虫子吗?
小时候在后院总是听见蟋蟀的叫声,这儿也有吗? - posted on 09/02/2009
I just got this email:
Hi Lucy, Your insect singers are almost certainly crickets and/or katydids. Here is a website where you can listen so examples of songs from each, although they may not match yours because i think these recordings are from Florida. Have fun!

好歌好照片,幸亏没有当农民,所以秋天就是用来消愁赋诗的:) - posted on 09/03/2009
这旋律果然是俗了些。但听前面一段和声进行,两句歌词尚好。
跟新生代聊天,说女性普遍都喜欢Sting,我记得当年崔健说他也喜
欢。但就象老瓦说的,他的歌会是甜腻一些。
最近他又出了一盘,还没买来试听,估计也珠黄了。上回说迪伦那盘
,还真的愈老够够味,这就是说唱的魅力,也感愧经济危机。
Sting的这一首,充满了自信:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNKWGySZssg
Lay my head on the surgeon's table
Take my fingerprints if you are able Pick my brains, pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you'll still know nothin' 'bout me
Run my name through your computer
Mention me in passing to your college tutor
Check my records, check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you'll still know nothin' 'bout me
You'll still know nothin' 'bout me
You don't need to read no books on my history
I'm a simple man, it's no big mystery
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love
Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything 'cause I won't be home
Set up your microscope, and tell me what you see
You'll still know nothin' 'bout me
You'll still know nothin' 'bout me
You'll still know nothin' 'bout me etc.
You'll still know zip a-bout me
史汀怎么就被解剖掉了呢?看来没有跟主流媒体保持适当距离...

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE
Bill Withers
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and she's always gone too long,
anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone.
Wonder if she's gone to stay.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and this house just ain't no home,
anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know...
Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone,
but ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
Only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and this house just ain't no home,
anytime she goes away.
anytime she goes away.
anytime she goes away.
anytime she goes away.
