昊恩家家 顏色

記得初次接觸昊恩家家的音樂 是從 "不自由" 這首充滿 Jazz曲調&憂鬱的情感的歌開始的。

儘管現在的我想要去追尋當時被他們感動&接二連三的下載歌曲的起點,事到如今要想起初衷難免有點模糊。
但我能肯定的是,他們的聲音深深的撫動著聽眾的心。

想了想,我其實很少去花錢支持喜歡的團體&歌手的專輯。。。但這樣不合法的舉動雖說是為一個"窮"學生省錢,但在心底總是對這些優秀的音樂人過意不去。

最近時常的Youtubing讓我找到了現場的昊恩家家這首現場的 "顏色" ,
光是昊恩吉他中開場的一段雙和絃就緊緊扣著我的耳朵....緊緊的扣住我對吉他無法解釋的迷戀,整首歌更唱到了心坎裡去... !

(不知道為什麼 我的blogger撰寫版本沒有提供video連結...請各位讀者將就連結)

多虧了這篇現場的版本
我也才能更了解昊恩音樂的故事背景,進而去體會昊恩&家家呈現那糾纏的歌聲&情感深度,實在是非常intense又扣人心弦。常常詞窮的我,在這裡打著網誌,想要一而再再而三的兜出形容的詞句都不夠表達我對這首歌曲的著迷。
不,應該要說,對不管是輕鬆,可愛,憂愁,深情,思念,各種情感的表達;昊恩家家都能完整呈現最美的音色&表演感到深深的喜愛。

多虧大家上傳到Youtube電視中的片段,我才看得到現場唱 "我願意", "月亮代表我的心" 等歌曲的家家,還有彈著我很喜歡的吉他的昊恩。

要如何看出我很喜歡一個東西呢? 
除了傾注心神的去聆聽,凝視;深受感動的瞬間,微笑是會不停的在嘴邊綻開的。

在這個space打網誌對我的意義而言,是分享那迴盪在心中對事物的激賞,打出那在現實中說不出的深邃話語。。。就算淺拙的言語無法表達什麼,我也要試著描述。

現在該想想要如何支持我欣賞的音樂&專輯的時候了...
(回家後立刻去買CD!) XDDD

出色的專輯 "Blue In Love",推薦給大家。

兩位親愛的朋友,請繼續傳唱你們的歌謠,讓更多人聽到你們美妙的聲音&合作!

[Dec] 學期尾聲; 年步入尾聲

沒有什麼比交了最難熬的功課更輕鬆的事了。

今年我只有一個final exam,French 202,也要完成College of Liberal Arts (CLA) 的 foreign language requirement了。

我該繼續拿法文課嗎?

從TES學法文時開始,一直到了IB,我總是在為考試作準備,語文的進步到是有點
原地踏步。 因為沒有固定的教材,只有東補西補文法和字彙。

現在,FR202系統化的教完了好多主題式的字彙和表達詞句。
可是我怎麼還是覺得,有時學習到了一個程度,總是有跨不過更進一步鴻溝?

是我不夠努力吧/嗎?

----------------------------------------------
老實說,這學期我感到糟透了。
感覺我的動力退回到了高中那種苟且過日,臨時抱佛腳的交作業程序...搞得我好不狼狽。

希望這一切下學期都可以改善!
我需要回家找找平靜....找回動力,重新出發。
-----------------------------------------------
說到這裡,我。好。想。念。台。灣。的。卡。拉。o。k。啊!!!!!!!!!
好想好好唱唱歌。

也想好好逛逛&看看夜市。。。好好坐捷運,玩玩一日遊~

------------------------------------------
I've also found a lot of GOOOOD French music recently!
Starting off within course contents, I discovered Les Nubians.
(Sorry, I still don't know how to post videos yet... I need someone like Justen to help me :P )

then later explorations... all around Les Nubians led me to many good and multicultural music.

Many nations now are becoming increasingly multicultural, for France it's partly reflected on their music.

你怎麼會淪落到這樣子 [?]

"Ever since the start of my semester," she looks up into the ceiling, "it's been a mess..." and sighs.

"Why? What's preventing you from doing as well as you did back then?" I asked.

"I'm not sure," she said. That sense of helplessness surrounded me and made me feel weak.

"I forgot when...if it's around high school or something. I felt I'm always at the edge of last minutes when turning in papers, projects and making presentations. My professor also said, [It seems like you've already stopped trying when you haven't even give it your best!] I tried at times to try prevent that... but somehow when I leap to catch up, I always end up needing to make up that little bit more to make it complete and done."

I listened to her closely, didn't know what to say.

"and you know my professor, she said she's going to make sure that I'll
do extremely well for the next semester's courses with her?" She laughed dryly.

"Oh, really. Well, isn't that a good thing? Eh.. maybe? She's supervising you."

"Truth is, she's more than worried about my performance in this class.
And you know what, even if I finished that damned paper, she's so disappointed that she said she can only
 give me a D." She talks on, casually.

"Hmm." I'm lost in thought.

"But then she said if need be, she'll lock me up in her office and make sure I do every step and make progress. It's like mommy supervising her child to do homework." She laughed, again. I can't think of anyone more optimistic and cheery when her professor has said all this. Yet, if this keeps her going?

"So what are you going to do about your paper?" I asked, trying to hide the anxiousness in my tone of voice. After hearing all this, I'm not sure if she'll make it.

"Just try my best, and make those 15 pages?" She finished the phrase with a serious look.

"I fucking want to get this done." She added lastly.

------------------------------------------------

The next day, she told me that after stuffing some "American trash food" for late dinner at 10:20, she reworked her paper longer, aiming for the 15 pages goal.

I wish her all the best.

Pour lui.

還不到的緣份 落在這或許恰好

就像友愛的擁抱 契合的剛好

總希望與你心貼心的談話和分享

卻感覺有著普通朋友般的距離…

想告訴你 在回憶裡激盪 表達不出的心意

我總保留著在夜晚微涼的公園裡 在鞦韆上哼歌的回憶

你不經意哼起的曲調 都在我耳裡充滿旋律記憶

細柔的嗓音哼唱小情歌 是腦海裡反覆溫習的音色

時時刻刻 當你需要 這裡為你保留特別的擁抱

你是我放心底的朋友, close to my heart.
