無論是誰總有一些
一邊想做又一邊放棄的事
以我日前的場合來說 Jason Mraz 2012演唱會正是一例
2011年11月1日的夜晚 下了一場隨意就能把人淋溼的大雨
或許正因如此 Jason Mraz聲音裡的溫暖顯得更加明確
那種溫暖變成不斷上升又破掉透明泡泡 就像真正的飛翔
第一次聽Jason Mraz,是從錯放了一張LIVE版DVD開始。
沒有拿到CD+DVD版本裡的CD,反而播出現場演唱的畫面,按照常理,沒耐性如我會立刻換掉。
不過那天,甚至放下手邊的事,就這麼一路認真聽了下去。無法不被吸引。
結束後改播放那張普通版CD,卻沒幾首就按下停止。拿出LIVE版那張來聽。
現場與錄音室,落差實在太大。於是2011演唱會毫不猶豫地參加了。
這場演唱會,只有Jason Mraz吉他,加上Toca Rivera的手鼓。
才不出幾曲,就唱到我最愛的A Beautiful Mess。這天的版本也很動人,請點 這裡 聽聽看。
當晚令人一聽難忘的,還有Who's thinking about you、Women I love。
那麼究竟為什麼,今年的演唱會卻放棄了呢 ?
不知道。
無論是誰總有一些,很想做卻放棄的事。
這類的事情或許在某天,就會被時間橡皮擦清除的一乾二淨,
當初令人沈迷心動的瞬間,可能漸漸跟著消失了吧 ?
還好音樂不是這麼回事,CD可以拿出來一再播放,感動每次都不太一樣。
我們真正應該尋找的,
是不是就是類似音樂這樣性質的事情呢 ?
順道一提,A Beautiful Mess詞寫的很好,是我最愛的幾曲之一。
You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are
Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
'Cause here, here we are, here we are
Here we are
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"
Through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it
