很久沒寫東西了 巧合的4.99元 天堂囚犯 代表了一種回憶 國中吧 回復到學生身分的我 最近對於過往的一切 總是會不斷地去追尋 想把似乎失去的那一部分 悄悄找回來 1991年 轉眼間也過十三年了 推算起來應該是我國中的時候吧 買了這一張天堂囚犯 那時的我 正開始對吵雜的重金屬音樂產生興趣 終日所聆聽的 不外乎Guns and Roses, Def Leppard,Skid Row之流 沉醉在Axl Rose的狂吼 有著獨臂鼓手的威豹之中 Skid Row的I Remember You 當然 也少不了Europe的Final Countdown, Carrie 那時的歐洲正處於高峰 可惜似乎也消逝的特別快 在最後倒數發行的隔沒幾年 就看到了主唱單飛的專輯 十年的成團時間 就這樣解散了 高中時期 英式搖滾興起 整個人投進去另外一個世界中 也開始將一些聽來覺得吵雜不堪的專輯賣掉 其中一張 就是現在想寫的天堂囚犯 也是歐洲合唱團的最後一張專輯 永遠無法忘懷聽到Priosoners In Paradise這首同名單曲時的感受 這是一首令人動容的歌曲 不論是歌詞亦或是樂手的表現 都證明了歐洲合唱團是偉大的樂隊 聽音樂也好幾年了 我們所注重的是什麼 旋律 節奏 歌詞 歌聲 最重要的是感動 一首動容的歌曲 可以在你的音響中播放一整天也不會溺 曾經 我不斷地追尋 希望可以藉由大量的聆聽來得到感動 但是 現在的我 卻發現 在追尋與迷失的過程當中 只有那自己所忽略掉的 才是最真實的 走進一家新開的黑人唱片行 看著這張天堂囚犯被擺在特價區中 與一堆廉價的古典盤及Comedy Music放在一起 我把它重新買了回來 重新去體驗國小國中時期踏進音樂世界中的感覺 最近欣聞歐洲樂隊重組 我不會期待什麼 因為 這過往的片段 對我而言 是最真誠的...... I want to learn how to fly I want to be respected I want to get lucky I want to get out of this dump I just want to watch tv I want to be loved I want to be different I want a brother and a sister I'd just rather be forgotten I want to save the world I want to be understood I want to be rich man I just want to be somebody Julie’s got the word today she lost her job just one last pay Life don’t come easy anymore Still strugglin’ on by herself got a picture of jimmy there on the shelf And she looks at him and says why did we let it go I know that sometimes baby we didn’t see things eye-to-eye But I got just one question did we have to say goodbye? Just like prisioners in paradise Still far from heaven’s door We had it all but still we wanted more Now I realize that I can’t turn back the future here to stay But hey we’re just children of tomorrow Hangin’ on to yesterday Jimmy still recalls the night when he took his guitar and headed on out To find the big time that was his dream He gave up his past and made it alright But there’s something missin’ in his heart tonight Sometimes what you want ain’t what you need He misses drivin’ down to the lake at night Holdin’ his baby in his arms so tight Ain’ t it hard to find illusions when you’re livin’ in a memory Just like prisioners in paradise So close but yet so far There will come a time no matter who you are When you ask yourself was it right or wrong For me to turn away, But hey we’re just children of tomorrow hangin’ on to yesterday -- 我的不才明日報 http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news/yeves/ --
