最近正好有機會從不少朋友得知紐約的相關訊息,還是覺得當初兩年實在不夠讓我更深度地了解這城市。
離開紐約滿三年了。回來台灣的這段時間每天辛勤工作與過活,努力的賺錢與花錢,總覺得少了什麼。還好有音樂,讓我在家、在車上、在公司都能有音樂陪伴在旁邊。
計劃在十二月回去紐約一趟,除了探親訪友以外還要再用雙腿體會她的特別。基本上會在那邊過過耶誕節與跨年,讓疲憊的身心好好休息,順便想想自己三十歲以後的路要怎麼走。
Don Henley › New York Minute
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he wont be down on wall street
In the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesnt matter anymore
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebodys going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get a little strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fools advice
And take care of your own
One day theyre here;
Next day theyre gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
Baby, Ive changed. please come back.
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know theres somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
You can get out of the rain
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
CNN專題: Five Years After 9/11
兩年了!
回覆刪除真的很想念兩年的那段時光.
現在的感覺像是:
帥哥繼續搖滾;馬瓜準備工作;酒神變成大肚男.......
(微風徐徐地吹著,我和帥哥汗如雨下般的背著酒神精心挑選的黑膠,在路上開懷的聊著.酒神一派神色自若,依舊保持著那鼓瀟灑)
快點復出一起多寫點東西吧!
馬瓜,你們來找我不只兩年囉,已經三年啦,你們不是2003年來的嗎? :)
回覆刪除現在正開始籌劃要去NY的細節,九月底應該要先買機票了. 想到可以請一陣子假去玩就爽啊!!
P.S.週末pulp來家中小聚,聊聊電影跟音樂(HYR因故不克前來). 這幾天看我自己幾天不運動好像真快變成中年大肚男了,反觀pulp還是駐顏有術啊真羨慕....
好久以前從音樂543讀到pulp所寫你們那一個月瘋狂的音樂之旅
回覆刪除真令人好生羨慕
紐約真是一個寶地啊
另外
我也與馬瓜一樣
期待酒神的復出
並且再度帶給我們一系列精彩的文章
的確,很想再與他們再來一次紐約行,不過年底去應該祇剩pulp在那裡了. 不過,馬瓜台南家還有一座傳說中的視聽室等我們去挖掘啊!!
回覆刪除可能是前陣子工作時間太長(現在也好不到哪兒去),回到家已經很晚,都有一種油燈耗盡的感覺,自然就提不起勁寫寫東西了. 不過好佳在,工作忙歸忙,音樂還是照三餐買,還是能不斷地找出新的搖滾與老的爵士來聽.
至於寫東西,最近有點心有餘而力不足,但是我會努力的啦 ! !
馬瓜家中是什麼樣的視聽室啊??
回覆刪除真讓人想一探究竟
哎,時間過得真快,沒想到轉眼就三年啦。
回覆刪除那天在你家聊得很愉快。我覺得,有共同興趣的朋友,即使很久不見,仍舊不會變得陌生。畢竟一直都有共同關注的事件或話題(音樂電影棒球...族繁不及備載),那些東西是永遠聊不完的。那天回家後我嘴巴很酸,原來是太久沒說那麼多話了,哈。
沒想到年底的reunion馬律師竟然落跑回台,看來只能去他的千萬音響室堵他了...
除了跟你提過的Lou Reed,有一部與Bob Dylan有關的音樂劇你可能也會有興趣。也許等你來之後再一起去看?

當然,如果有機會,耶誕大餐可以一起吃的。
是啊,time flies like an arrow。
回覆刪除想想我們三個人從頭到腳個性品味調調都不一樣,當年能結伴在紐約晃整個月還相安無事還真不簡單。可見嗜好相投是會比較愉快的。說到逛唱片行的經驗,一個人血拼有一個人血拼的快感,有同好一起逛才真正有趣啊。
其實這次回去的行程沒完全確定,如果預算允許,還有可能中間三四天飛去Orlando的Disney World玩也說不定。如果時間允許,Lou Reed跟Bob Dylan的我都想去(事實上我已經開始在睡前複習手裡Dylan伯的幾張專輯,發現愈晚期專輯愈好睡:p)。
我的"私人"音樂行程主要是會以聽爵士為主,在地搖滾/現代音樂為輔,所以有關在地好團跟新的好吃的都要等你推薦囉。這次也要你帶我去你說的Brooklyn那帶(新的唱片行跟club)好好走走,還有記得CBGB關門之前也要請你幫我買T恤啦。
