Wait, I'm wrong
Should've done better than this
Please, I'll be strong
I'm finding it hard to resist

So show me what I'm looking for

Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Oh Lord

Don't let go
I've wanted this far too long
Mistakes become regrets
I've learned to love abuse
Please show me what I'm looking for

Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Oh Lord

Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for

Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
To save me from being confused
Wait, I'm wrong
I can't do better than this
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused

Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Oh Lord

好久没有听到可以震撼自己的歌曲了。

过去的10个月都是Kings of Leon、Akon、 Ne-Yo、Black Eye Peas和Eminem这些R&B和说唱。

有节奏没灵魂，有旋律没有感动。每天都在像买饮料一样消费音乐。

直到变形金刚2的到来。一般的电影能带来最多是2大桶甜甜的爆米花，而变形金刚带回了Green Day。

还是刚刚工作时看过《圣经里的子弹》演唱会Video，之后的10个月每天都会听一次basket case、Wake Me Up When September Ends和Boulevard Of Broken Dreams。然而这些都是2004年的经典，新的Green Day还需要等待……

变形金刚的中插曲使我第一时间感觉到熟悉旋律和音乐又回来了，插曲是21guns（在美国，21响礼炮是'presidental salute'，重大场合向在任或前任总统致敬）。

新的歌曲继承Green Day以前慢歌的特点：厚重、深沉、忧郁，悠扬的歌声后是激扬的旋律。（强力推荐）

随后我找到了Green Day在今年新发行的专辑《21 st Century Breakdown》，现在就如同那10月一样一遍一遍、反反复复、来来回回享受他们深沉狂放的声音。

顺便说，变形金刚的导演绝对是个金属摇滚+朋克乐爱好者，电影中选择的3个歌曲分别是linkinpark（新金属摇滚乐）的New Divide；Green Day（标注美式朋克）的21guns；the fray（英式摇滚，尽管是美国人）的Never Say Never。

昨天牛子向我推荐了张悬，之前我就听说她是陈绮贞、曹方那个类型的（唱作人系列的），但始终没有认真的听过。借着昨天值班的机会，下了所有的歌曲，一口气从29听到30。

感觉音乐很纯粹，特别她的那些死忠为她出版的网络专辑，无论是和清风的摇滚，还是自弹自唱的民谣小调都特别有味道。感觉上回到了那个美国乡村摇滚乐落寞的年代。

24个小时以上的听，好像对我来说不够，如同中毒一样迷恋声音、节奏和噪音。找出陈绮贞、曹方、王若琳的音乐（她们都是纯纯音乐唱作人，没有铜臭气的歌者，苏打绿有些歌曲的铜臭气比较足）都没有找到可以听上24个的理由。没有陈绮贞的忧愁、没有曹方的执著、没有王若琳的忧伤，简单的节奏，略带沙哑的嗓音，美妙…………

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say ......

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say ......

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China?
Feel the bright prosaic malls
And the corridors that go on and on and on

I was blind - couldn't see
We are one incomplete
I was blind - in the city
Waiting for light wind to be saved
Cause love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again

Will those feet in modern times
Understand this world's affliction
Recognise the righteous anger
Understand this world's addiction?
I was blind - couldn't see
What was here in me

I was blind - insecure

I felt like the road was way too long, yeah
Cause love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise and love is pain

Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again, again, again

Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that you're feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles made in China?
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls?
Will those feet in modern times
Recognise the heavy burden
Will those feet in modern times
Pardon me for my sins
Love is noise
Come on

最近远离了音乐，听得一些故事都和音乐沾不太大沾边。

自从coldplay的唱片发行后，再也没有新的精神食量，在下一个到来前就只能听R&B和说唱了。

今天听到关于一只乐队的故事，故事讲得是一支摇滚乐队没有一个吉他手，却可以红遍英伦。原因在于这只诡异的乐队用一个键盘取代了吉他，乐队的名字叫Keane（key in）。

这个乐坛诡异奇怪的人人往往有天赋，乐队往往走红。就同鼓手是主唱的乐队都很走红一样，Keane很快在04年成为全英的新晋的乐队代表。

今天拿起4年前的专辑来听，感觉的确与众不同，决心听下去，享受没有吉他乐队的吟唱^=^

上周和同事在中午饭的时间里，谈起了“国际民生问题”。无意中聊到了美国的90年代的“黄金8年”，美国人只有在今天总结过去的时候才肯定克林顿的时代美国要比现在更能称霸全球，然而在那黄金的8年中美国人普遍认为自己的总统不大好，希望可以换一个。

想想，音乐世界里也是如此，80年中大众在批判，在感叹，在指责流行音乐走上了穷途末路，没有了猫王，取而代之的是beatles、是ACDC，是rolling stone，是gun n'roses，是涅槃，是一个充斥着疯狂、叛逆、颓废的世界；而这个时代中符号是micheal jackson，是黑人说唱，是粗口，是暴利，是神经质的流行乐，是自杀，是毒品。就设这样一个被大众称之为没有希望，毁掉的音乐时代，在今天看来却是黄金的10年。

在这十年里培养了无数的忠实听众，卖出了上百亿音乐唱片，产生出许多传奇故事，他们的成绩是艺术的成就，是商业的成就，更是时代的成就。80年的音乐不仅仅是影响一代人，今天复古的迪斯科舞曲风潮，micheal经典老歌的翻唱，青年人文化衫上的摇滚人物，全世界各地的老band的巡回演唱会……现在的大众开始怀念80年代。

80年代的意义在今天看来是伟大的。那个年代中，青年人与社会的矛盾使音乐来的更感性，更自由，更直接的表达自我对于社会不满，更无所顾忌的表达自我的思念；年轻人更是用热情、执着、癫狂的态度支持他们的音乐。这一切在今天没有的，这也是80年代伟大的所在。

看看今天，看看今天来的快闪的也快新人，看看今天空有表皮没有灵魂的声音，看看今唱片惊人的生产速度，看看今天媒体吹毛求疵的评价，音乐这个行业已经不再是个含有艺术的行业，它已经开始向产业进一步的迈进，唱片的工业品化就是这个10年的标志，音乐只有消费，没有精神上的共鸣。

也许现在不应该评价今天，因为只有未来有这个权利，也许20年后会给这个时代一个准确的定义……

今天上午陪着我老妈去看牙医，结束了俺妈的诊断后，我也检查了一下。结果超出了我的预期范围，让我倍感恐慌。

我很早之前就有牙周炎和牙龈炎，但是今天牙医给我的噩耗是：我的左上和右下后牙床，斜着长了两个“智齿”，如果不及时处理，后面可能会比较麻烦。

天哪！我从没有预料过自己会长智齿，也没有预料到一长还长了两颗。现在的我不知是心理暗示的作用还是真的有感觉，后槽牙总是隐隐发胀。对于拔牙我比较恐惧，还没有做好心理准备。

等等再看，希望不会向坏的方向发展

Coldpaly第四张录音室专辑，Viva La Vida开始反复的回荡在脑海。

Coldplay的专辑中只有第二张认真的听过，但是没有记住一首歌名，记住的是typical Coldplay style的音乐交响诗，Chris Martin赋有教堂风琴的嗓音，舒缓的长音，柔美的假音与磁铁的鼻音，创造了真正属于coldplay的风格。

不同于传统的英国pop band或是rock band，也不同于流行的hard rock band或是punk band，不流行，不前卫；不怀旧，不时尚；不像U2玩回归，不像radio head玩low-fi，不像oisis玩节奏。就这么一个不像，不同的乐队，成为了下一个50年伟大rock band的候选者。

说道coldplay的音乐，会想到yellow，会说出talk，会评价降落伞如何的成功，会品味x&Y是如何的把电子乐因素最为新元素融入歌曲，会哼唱A Rush Of B-Sides To Your Head的调调。

然而就在一遍一遍的品味过去的7年作品的时候，新的作品降临了。

对于Viva La Vida的评价暂且没有，但是可以感觉到七年之痒的感觉，有些改变还是不知不觉爬上了coldplay的新作品。

继续听……

心情和天气一样反常，什么都不想做，天气再热，也不想开空调，足球再好，看也不想熬夜，游戏再好玩，也不想浪费时间。

只好自己一个人听coldplay的第三张录音室专辑：Viva La Vida

回归吧……追溯吧……怀旧吧……忘掉吧……消失吧……

梦吧……

Ther's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Jackson Michael
So make a better world
Make a better world...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly be God's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me

By R.E.M

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, if you feel like letting go,when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

Radiohead Creep:

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special...
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

Reggae俗称雷鬼乐（中文听起来挺慎的，直接联想起哥特的某个方面），其实Reggae的节奏还是听欢快的。

Reggae来源月牙买加，自然牙买加人唱起来最动听。时下，最流行的Reggae就来自牙买加的雷鬼小胖——Sean Kingston。

以前觉得他的歌一般只是节奏比较动感罢了，最近可能是审美疲劳的缘故，感觉听起来还不错，打算在space搞个Reggae的专辑好好听听。

今天没事又在听英国的乐队的歌曲，无意中又找到了一只英国很老的BAND——Red Hot Chili Peppers（红辣椒）。

听了许多，第一次听起来的感觉还不错。这麽多年还是那支“辣椒”。

把里面最好听的mv放在视频一的位置，可能会吓到看我space的人。因为音乐录影带拍的他另类，许多人接受不了。不过在我看来他们还是正常的乐队，所以坚持着把好听的歌曲放在一个刺眼的位置。

最近的状况特别像7点前高考一模后失败后迅速崛起的状态，很有规律，很有节奏、很匆忙、很疯狂。

每天的有规律、有节奏、非常疯狂的锻炼着身体，每天衣服都要湿一次。体重也骤降8斤。心情在这种高强度的锻炼中得到宣泄，宣泄调工作中的繁忙，忘记家人辞世的悲哀，在汗水的洗礼下只感觉到累。

本周末要再次施放一下激情，现在筹备去星光现场看bowling of suop的演唱会。之后就等待五一的迷笛音乐节了。放一首他们好听的歌曲。

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,

2005年失去主唱的queen和paul rodger是合作，演唱了列侬的imagine，见视频2.

Oasis我已经听了一段时间，昨天发现了他们2005年在曼彻斯特的演唱会，虽然视频差的出奇，但是还是能感觉到万人大合唱的震撼。最近好久没有看这种振奋人心的演唱会视频了，上一次还是看2005年GreenDay在英国的演唱会的时候。

提到万人大合唱，我想这种事情只可能发生在中国以外其他的地方。中国的多数大型演唱会都只有歌手在唱，不都是在拖延时间或是自娱自乐，因为歌迷太少太不专业了，太闷骚了，看着别人。

当然有些演唱会还是会有万人大合唱的情况出现，比如beyond的2003年，比如说五月天的演唱会。

这让我考虑了万人大合唱的条件。首先，演唱者有年头，这个类型的歌手有多年的演唱生涯，有一对死忠的歌迷，歌迷的群体也大，例如：王菲、张学友；其次，歌曲要首首流行（在歌迷中流行，不是指大众），每首歌都能让人上口，只有这样才可能在经典的时候万人大合唱，例如：温柔……最后，怎么说万人大合唱的歌手也要是个半摇滚曲风，怎么着也要靠音乐把歌迷弄HIGH起来。找个诺拉琼斯来大合唱是不可能的，

看看上述的条件，就可以知道中国几乎不存在这样的万人大合唱，因为没有那个歌手或乐队能达到上述的条件（beyond够条件，五月天也够了）。
