吳小毛的境象劇場

"好朋友"是什麼感覺？從前劇團有人說：好朋友是那種... 凌晨一點半還待在他家，酒已經喝完，話已經聊完，四目相對無所事事，彼此沉默又不會覺得尷尬的人... 我想他在說的是一種信任。 

今天推薦 Simon & Garfunkel：Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970)

...

除了愛情和鄉愁，流行音樂另一個主題是友情，大多描寫朋友間的義氣相挺... 前幾年南台灣發生大水災，又聽到這首"惡水上的大橋"，其實這是一首關於朋友的歌，特別是那種在驚濤駭浪中的支持與陪伴，有一種引路的感覺。這種橋不需雄偉壯麗，也許只是安安靜靜陪伴在旁...

Paul Simon 和 Art Garfunkel 是 70 年代重要的美國二重唱，和聲非常優美，也是一輩子的朋友，小毛音樂廚房第一集所播的 "The Sound of Silence" 就是他們的作品... 合唱了一輩子，Paul 開場介紹說：這是我的好朋友，也是我吵架的夥伴...

一首關於朋友的歌，從年少輕狂唱到白髮蒼蒼，一切盡在不言中...

When you're weary, feeling small,     
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
