邊一個發明了返工?!?!?!

I love this song:

邊一個發明了返工 我要給佢米田共
邊一個發明了返工 返到我越黎越窮
為了薪金一萬元 令每天都沒了沒完
一萬元一萬元一萬元
靈魂賣給了大財團

邊一個發明了返工 以為自己好有用
邊一個發明了返工 阻礙我藝術發展重重
到了薪金兩萬元 我的青春就快用完
兩萬元兩萬元兩萬元
我有更多事沒法做完

我渴望有一個平原 沒有政府沒有政權
這平原這平原這平原
有好多個美女舞蹈團

邊一個發明了返工 唔係八婆就係八公
邊一個發明了返工 返工o係度玩摺龍
到了薪金三萬元 我地都應該唔會有三萬元
三萬元三萬元三萬元
三萬元D 人通常都有D 寸

Thanks Kaho ;-)

Breathe

不知是巧合還是其他原因,我itunes music library裡所有以breathe為歌名的歌好都很好聽。share其中三首吧:

Breathe in – Frou Frou

I read you and God I’m good at it I’m so spot on
Chord shapes in air go press that dissonance if you dare
And you breathing in finesse an innocent
From her partying

And I’m high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And I’m high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
‘Cause I love you no?
Can’t help but love, you know…

Breathe – Michelle Branch

Michelle Branch – Breathe

Well it’s all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what’s real

And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I’ve been waiting till I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I’ll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You’ll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe

So I whisper in the dark,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?

Breathe in Breathe out – Anna Nalick


Anna Nalick – Breathe (2AM)Funny video clips are a click away

2 AM and she calls me ’cause I’m still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to critisize,
hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason

‘Cause you can’t jump the track,we’re like cars on a cable
and life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain’t been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for a while,
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I’ll just sing about it.

Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breahte

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
These mistakes you’ve made, you’ll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And i feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to

Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.

A narcissistic music note

  • I cannot forget music once it is associated spatially or visually… Patrick Watson’s Great Escape will always remind me of my train ride from Lund to Landskrona for the exhibition for Glumslöv.
  • Accordion always reminds me of Spain and France. Because a musician was playing it outside the Palace in Madrid when I was waiting for…
  • And Dublin is Cheer Chan.
  • I can’t listen to perky music when I am stressed, it only makes me feel even more miserable.
  • When stressed out, top choice of music are Rachael Yamagata and Greg Laswell – misery really loves company.
  • I can’t listen to classical music when I study because, thanks to music history, I will consciously analyse the piece e.g. period, composer, orchestration, chords, dissonance, music form, syncopation, you name it and I will tell you.
  • You cannot miss Spice Girls in the 90s.
  • I cannot play Mozart.
  • I love playing modern pieces – the harder to comprehend the better.
  • Amelie soundtrack is really very Parisian…
  • Acoustic guitar is insanely captivating.
  • I could not play emotional pieces when I was young. Maybe now that Grey’s has broke me, I can handle them better than before.
  • Eurovision in Oz

    I gave Eurovision a miss this year. But the scene of how we groaned and yelled at Bulgaria for voting Germany to win is still clear as crystal in my head.

    Good times.

    So Far From You – Brett Dennen

    Addicted to its guitar opening.

    Crows ravaging a field of wheat
    Stars jealous of the moon
    Scarecrows know their own defeat
    Envy and the heart that it consumes

    Today I walked without you
    Like an empty bottle drifting out to sea
    I would change it I knew how to
    But it don’t come that easily

    If my heart wasn’t such a jungle
    Maybe you wouldn’t feel so alone
    If your her heart wasn’t such and ocean
    I wouldn’t sink like a stone

    If you weren’t so far from me
    I could hold you while you’re sleeping
    And hear you breathing softly
    And be there when you’re waking

    Phone calls could not complete us
    Letters cannot replace
    Miles and miles and miles between us
    Another time another place

    I have yet to meet another
    Who burns bright as you
    I’m not looking for any other
    I only want you

    If my heart wasn’t such a jungle
    Maybe you wouldn’t feel so alone
    If your her heart wasn’t such and ocean
    I wouldn’t sink like a stone

    The Rescues

    I have been falling for the Rescues lately. Okay, so Grey’s Anatomy was the reason that I know them, but who cares, I’ve got good music!

    I am particularly impressed by their range of music. In their album Crazy Ever After, you can find some very different music. From vocal such as My Heart with you to pop-y tunes like Break Me Out:

    Wicked memories!

    Watching Susan Boyle singing I dream a dream (by the way, in case you are living in the Stone Age and have NOT watch Susan Boyle’s performance, you deserve… to be disconnected from the internet for the rest of your life) makes me think about my Les Misérables experience at London’s Queen’s Theatre and all the happenings that day!

  • Having Jap lunch in an overcrowded restaurant in London’s very own Chinatown
  • Watching Les Misérables at Queen’s Theatre with Tiffany and Mich during the day
  • Racing to Victoria station to meet Yat for another round of musical goodness!
  • Almost losing Yat to Victoria station!
  • Mediocre Chinese dishes for dinner… (I am starting to wonder why we went for Chinese?! Neither of us are very fond of it…!)
  • Watching Wicked in the evening at Apollo Victoria Theatre!
  • Three pounds-ice-cream that we didn’t buy! (Good will power!)
  • Catching very late coach back to Cambridge
  • Very green stage and makeup
  • Yat sending me off to coach terminal
  • Very long day in musical threatres! (YES, in case you didn’t notice, PLURAL!)
  • Ah… all the wicked goodness. Now off to listen to the Wicked sound track… it’s not the same, but musical tix are expensive!

    When music and reality meets at the age of GFC

    A very good read:

    This Land – At an Age for Music and Dreams, Real Life Intrudes – NYTimes.com

    A story of an 18 year old high school girl:

    She once explored the idea of going away to college to become a music teacher. But it just didn’t seem practical: spending four years studying the theory of music, which doesn’t interest her, while here in Newark, the school system is constantly adapting to real and threatened cuts.

    Music programs always seem among the first to go, she says. No job security in Tchaikovsky.

    So she is maintaining high grades, playing in the orchestra, working 35 hours a week as a Sonic Drive-In carhop, paying $345 a month for the small apartment she shares with an unemployed boyfriend — and planning to study nursing for two years at a technical college in Newark.

    “Everybody gets sick,” she says, plotting her future.

    A story of a music teacher:

    When she struggles to pay for repairs to instruments, many of which are long-ago hand-me-downs from another school district, she recalls her 15 years as the music director in Bexley, a more affluent city where her budget was nowhere near as tight. She vividly remembers the Bexley student who celebrated graduation by smashing a $10,000 violin — his spare.

    She cried then; it hurts more now.

    梁靜茹 – 別再為他流淚

    你走了太久一定很累
    他錯了不該你來面對
    離開他就好就算了
    心情很乾脆
    他其實沒有那麼絕對
    遠一點你就看出真偽
    離開他不等於你的世界會崩潰
    轉個彎你還能飛

    就別再為他流淚
    別再讓他操控你的傷悲
    就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
    也不要太狼狽
    他不值得你的淚
    把那遺憾留在大雨的街
    你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
    以後為自己醉

    每段感情都非常珍貴
    他的好你就放在心扉
    記得有個人曾讓你那樣的心碎

    你笑了照亮夜幕的黑
    什麼夢都不比你的美
    多少年以後想起他還有些體會.
    那時你已無所謂

    就別再為他流淚
    別再讓他操控你的傷悲
    就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
    也不要太狼狽他不值得你的淚
    把那遺憾留在大雨的街
    你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
    以後為自己醉
    就別再為他流淚
    別再讓他操控你的傷悲
    就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
    也不要太狼狽

    他不值得你的淚
    把那遺憾留在大雨的街
    你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
    以後管他是誰
