at17: 才女


歌手:At 17 | 作曲:林二汶@At 17
填詞:于逸堯@人山人海 | 編曲:梁基爵@人山人海


世界不知不覺無情地轉
勞碌找一個救生圈
靠美德博學還離岸很遠
用美色多勝算

可惜我只配談文字戀
強項得書信對白婉轉
講曲線體態自然落選
憑面相難完心願

蕭伯納 王爾德 但丁
莎士比亞 馬奎斯 小仲馬
請指點我去用情書將心扣住
辛棄疾 矛盾 魯迅 蘇軾
求可體恤我筆尖的計算
長話盼 盡說短 人海中等惜字緣

交心的戀愛漸成歷史
唯獨我堅信愛像種子
悉心栽花卻換來白紙
才用眼淚來寫字

伊索 屠格涅夫 狄更斯
歐威爾 艾可 卡爾維諾
幾本書的背後埋藏著我心事
張愛玲 曹禺 老舍 冰心
如果早幫我寫命運情節
從未怕 命太短 惟恐寫不好那段緣
盼成全

Really touching song from at17's newest CD...
it is about someone who cannot connect with other ppl...
except with her writing...

I guess ppl always telling me i have barriers around myself and not often open up to other ppl...
except when talking to topics that i am interested in..movies, books...
then i will have shining eyes and get really excited....
other than that i will be like really slow to react...=P

I guess after i have spend 4 yrs in UT getting a degree (Act Sci and Eco) that i don't really like...
since i am not going into that field....
i always tell myself that i need to do more...read more... learn more...
to make up for the time and the knowledge that i miss....
watch more films... read more theories..more stuff about the mass culture...
and somehow... build a wall around myself in the meantime...
thinking that i am not good enough...so have to work harder...
but lost the sense of why i am chasing my dream in the first place...

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)


Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8)

Guess if i know how to read or decode some of the msg of films or media...
but don't know how to share it with ppl...
then it is of no use to me...

Guess if i read an amazing book that inspired me...
but cannot use it to inspire other ppl...
then it is of no use to me...

Guess if i only have knowledge (which is not alot)....
and don't know how to love or care for ppl around me..
then all i am striving for is worth nothing....

Cheer Chen's "Too Much"



太多

歌手:陳綺貞 | 作曲:陳綺貞
填詞:鴻鴻 | 編曲:陳建騏

喜歡一個人孤獨的時刻
但不能喜歡太多
在地鐵站或美術館
孤獨像睡眠一樣鍡養我

以永無止盡的墬落
需要音樂取暖
喜歡一個人孤獨的時刻
但不能喜歡太多

喜歡一個陽光照射的角落
但不能喜歡太多
是幼稚園的小朋友
笑聲像睡眠一樣打擾我

我們輕輕的揮一揮手
凝結照片的傷口
我喜歡一個陽光照射的角落
但不能喜歡太多

喜歡一個人孤獨的時刻
但不能喜歡 太多
-----------------------------------------------------

Can't be alone too much...
or else may not be able to come back out...
once you got used to being a good friend with loneness...

Cheer's new CD is really great...
she doesn't sale her looks..
don't have to be sexy or cute...
just plain and simple...
lay bare herself and her passion in music..
her lyrics have a taste that is bittersweet which stays in your mind for days...
she is able to observe the little things in our daily lives and put them into "poetic" scenery...
she is really one of the rare artists right now who writes all her own music and lyrics..also did the composing..
really admire her...(also at17...and ???)

Cheer's passion was so great..
that when her contact with "Rolling Stones" ended a couple of years ago...
she couldn't get anyone to make music for her..
she gone into a deep depression and kinda a nervous breakdown..
until Avex Trax singed her...
i am really amazed at how people can put their whole lives into something that they love so much and to die for...
great CD... have a listen....

www.cheerego.com
go to "Frame" and will be able to see the latest MVs...
enjoy...=D

The Perfect Evening

Sometimes i just like to be alone...
just make myself invisible for a while..
just go "flow" around malls...
to bookstores, HMVs...browsing...
hide myself at home watching movies that i have bought for years and still having have a chance to watch...
like to clean my room when i am down..
hang all my clothes and sweaters that have been lying on the floor everytime i took them off at the end of the day..
books and CDs everywhere...all scattered on the floor...
i am not kidding... sometimes it is so crowded that i can't even walk to my bed...
i guess what is the pt of cleaning the room if it is only going to be messy again in like 2 or 3 days max...
but it is kinda like a ritual that i do...
everytime i do the cleaning, i will put on really loud music with my stereo...
and singing and dancing around my room...
until finally everything looks great...
and go and take a nice hot, long shower..
the feeling of being clean...both myself and my room...
just feels really great...
then just go down to the basement...
pick out a DVD... open a bottle of red wine..
a perfect evening...

P.S...sometimes i just think that...
Do i leave my room messy so that i can go through this process and redeem myself...
.....
.....
....
....
nah....just making an excuse for myself...for being lazy...=P

化哀傷為舞蹈

「我們在生活中可能需要放手的,莫過於日常關係這方面。愛一個人意味著容讓對方以任何方式回應你,而不受你的控制。」

「愛最奧妙之處就是,你既可得著愛,也可能一無所得。每次你愛別人,你正冒這個險。」


盧雲著,《化哀傷為舞蹈——在逆境中尋得盼望》
