吳小毛的境象劇場

吵吵鬧鬧又過了一年，也許已經吵吵鬧鬧過了一千年，雖然又老了一歲，還是感謝上天... 趁年夜飯之前選一首歌，相信我們都會喜歡，祝大家新春如意...

今天推薦德國電子樂團 Alphaville：Forever Young (1984)

在生命面前，Forever Young 是需要勇氣的，這種勇氣不是跟隨潮流"假裝"自己還年輕，也不是憤世忌俗大嘆時不我予，更無需為了討好別人急著把自己交換出去，或努力把自己變成一塵不染的"樣品"讓後人懷念，而是在享受孤獨中，誠實面對生命的極限與替換，在倒數日之前，如修行者般"攪和"在人間，直到"無路可出(No Exit)"的"出口"為我開啟...

也許這是一種有"智慧"的勇氣，如歌詞所言：Hoping for the best by expecting the worst (用最壞的狀況去期待一個最好的希望)... 祝福大家。

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best by expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

*Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever -- and ever

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
