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
