無名的歌

最討厭聽電台節目主持人把音樂作為充塞節目的空當，播了歌又不介紹歌手又不介紹歌名。好掛著湯正川和伍家廉在DBC的節目，只有在他們的節目，才能享受音樂之餘又能認識音樂。

交通意外

家裡附近的交通黑點又發生交通意外了，交通警還未到，兩旁已站立著一批熱心的街坊，各人均舉起自己的手機拍照，並在旁議論後續的程序。究竟這樣的拍照議論有甚麼意義？人生就是太多這樣的八卦。何不拿時間來做一些更有意義的事呢？

Ragan Road

前面放了Loreena McKennitt 的演唱版，現在補上歌詞，也是一首詩。

Ragan Road

On Raglan Road of an Autumn Day,

I saw her first and knew

That her dark hair would weave a snare

That I might one day rue.

I saw the danger, and I passed

Along the enchanted way

And I said let grief be a falling leaf

At the dawning of the day.

On Grafton Street in November,

We tripped lightly along the ledge

Of a deep ravine where can be seen

The worst of passions pledged.

The Queen of Hearts still making tarts

And I not making hay,

Oh I loved too much; and by such by such

Is happiness thrown away.

I gave her gifts of the mind.

I gave her the secret sign

That's known to the artists who have known

That true gods of sound and stone.

And word and tint without stint.

I gave her poems to say

With her own name there and her own dark hair

Like the clouds over fields of May.

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,

I see her walking now

Away from me, so hurriedly.

My reason must allow,

That I have loved, not as I should

A creature made of clay.

When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose

His wings at the dawn of the day.

Billy Joel

早上聽過溫柔浪慢的Loreena McKennitt，黃昏聽一首粗獷的Piano Man。聽這首歌，又想起湯正川的《正係好音樂》，沒有了DBC，只能不斷重溫他的節目來懷念他。


這首有很多版本，隨便找一個版本放上來。

Loreena Mckennitt

聽Loreena Mckennitt的音樂，絕對是一種享受，即使不懂英語，也能吸引你，甚至能為了她多學一點英語和文學。先記下一些歌，好讓自己將來重溫。

一首近期喜歡的歌

一首簡單而動聽的歌，先把歌詞放上來，遲些再細聽。

The Shins: Simple song

Well, this is just a simple song,

To say what you done.

 I told you 'bout all those fears,

And away they did run.

You sure must be strong,

And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.

When I was just nine years old, I swear that I dreamt,

Your face on a football field,

And a kiss that I kept,

Under my vest.

Apart from everything,

But the heart in my chest.

Chorus: I know that things can really get rough,

When you go in alone.

Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,

And bleed like a stone.

Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,

As this little home.

My life in an upturned boat,

Marooned on a cliff.

You brought me a great big flood,

And you gave me a lift.

Girl, what a gift.

 Will you tell me with your tongue,

And your breath was in my lungs,

And we float up through the rift.

Chorus: I know that things can really get rough,

When you go in alone.

Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,

And bleed like a stone.

Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,

 As this little home.

Well, this would be a simple song,

To say what you done.

I told you 'bout all those fears,

And away they did run. You sure must be strong,

When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.

Remember walking a mile to your house,

Aglow in the dark?

I made a fumbling play for your heart,

And the act struck a spark.

You wore a charm on the chain that I stole,

Especial for you.

Love's such a delicate thing that we do,

With nothing to prove,

Which I never knew. 

洗頭水

多年來一直在不停轉換洗頭水，最近終於找到一款好用的洗頭水，貴是貴了一點，但可以改善髮質，又可環保，還是值得的。

最後一天

這是最後一天《正係好音樂》第一首播放的歌Our last song together，重聽還是有點傷感。希望節目真的可以後會還有期。

歌者與歌

前陣子已想在這裡開始記下一些喜愛的歌曲，但一直忙著back up 電腦資料，維修電腦，重裝電腦，然後是腰痛，結果又是甚麼都擱下來了。

今天終於有時間上來了，記下一首從《正係好音樂》聽回來的歌曲，記得湯生每次播這首歌的時候，都會說把歌曲送給收音機旁所有叫Rosemary的女孩子，Neil Sedaka也是他喜歡的一位歌手。

茶籽粉

找了茶籽粉一段時間，終於在家附近的商場找到一家店鋪賣茶籽粉，決定買一包來試試。http://www.theeden.net/index.html

天然香薰油

輾轉終於找到售賣天然香薰油的店舖了，改天去買些來自製護膚品，看看效果如何。先記下店鋪地址於此。

借來的揮春

原作者：崑南

哈維爾

哈維爾死後，旋即檢索港大圖書館的藏書，看看他的著作，怎知只有一本中譯本而已。這間香港的龍頭大學，真的令人慨嘆兼憤怒。至今香港的一些樓上書店還可買到他的部份書籍，圖書館就是沒想到要買一些？

巧合

真的很巧合，日間在明報看到記者介紹這店，晚上在電視又看到香港電台訪問店主，更巧合的是原來店鋪就在民園麵家附近，下次去吃麵時便可以順道去書店看看。
