【慾望城市】使 "The Heart of the Matter" 這首歌瞬間爆紅 字裡行間對愛情的憧憬、迷惘、背叛、釋懷,讓很多人感同身受
其實這首歌早在20年前就誕生 收錄在 The Eagles 主唱兼鼓手 Don Henley 的專輯 "The End of the Innocence" 裡
India.Arie 在2006年發行的專輯 "Testimony Vol.1: Life & Relationship" 裡翻唱了這首歌 風格迥異卻唱出更深的情緒
來看一下 India.Arie 去年在鹿特丹 North Sea 爵士音樂節的表演 後面還唱了一小段 Rihanna 的 "Umbrella",挺有趣的
The Heart of the Matter I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined ...People filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, Doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, Baby The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down and hurt your pride Better put it all behind you; life goes on You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
賽前就已經有人開始大放厥詞,暗示 Federer 不行了 Yes, Novak Djokovic, I'm talking about you, punk 拜託要批評前輩之前請秤秤自己幾斤幾兩重 不是拿了一個澳洲公開賽冠軍就很了不得了 史上有多少個一冠王自己去調查一下 要批評前自己先多拿幾個冠軍好嗎 人家排在第二的 Rafael Nadal 都沒在屁了你是在啦啦叫什麼
回到賽程來 衛冕冠軍 Roger Federer 今年尋求六連霸 但是過關之路看起來不是很平順喔 首輪對手斯洛伐克 Dominik Hrbaty 近況不佳但沒輸過小費 第二輪對手可能是瑞典 Robin Soderling 第三輪可能是在法網從小費手上拿走一盤的 Gael Monfils 第四輪可能是 Fernando Gonzalez 或前冠軍 Lleyton Hewitt 至於大嘴巴 Djokovic,也是在小費這一邊的籤表
Nadal 也沒有輕鬆到哪裡去 第一輪過關的話,可能會遇到身高兩百多公分的 John Isner 長得高發球又強,在草地是很有優勢的 第三第四輪可能遇到 Nicolas Kiefer 和 Radek Stepanek 或 Mikhail Youzhny 當然,還有歐羅肥 Andy Roddick 所以挺好玩的
故事主線當然還是凱莉和大人物到底有沒有happy ending 但我還是覺得莎曼珊比較有趣 雖然她依然不相信婚姻,還是滿口的性 但她和史密斯多年來的感情,讓她收斂許多 她撞見隔壁的猛男鄰居正在戶外淋浴時不禁結巴 "My dog just ran up on your dick, eh, deck!" 這不像是我們熟知的莎曼珊啊 用錯字或一語雙關的情形,以前根本都是故意的 我還蠻喜歡這樣的轉變 還有,她在偷窺鄰居脫衣服時戴的那頂帽子很讚
凱莉和助理露薏絲在酒吧喝酒的時候 我還以為露薏絲會上台高歌一曲 畢竟是 Jennifer Hudson 嘛,這麼會唱 結果後來沒有 也好,不然整個畫面大概就會很像 Ally McBeal
The Case Continues
Written by Neil Hannon & Joby Talbot
The victim was a woman a woman in her prime
The suspect was a lover he had no alibi
The weapon was a phone call in the dead of night
You know I never really thought you had it in you
The case continues
The suspect was a cruel self-motivated man
He held the victim's heart in the palm of his hand
The motive is a mystery I'll never understand
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues
Why did the blood-stained sheets that burned turn quite so cold
My only crime was passion wild and uncontrolled
If sex were an Olympic sport we'd've won the gold
Oh tell me that there's still a little love left in you
The case continues
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues
The victim is in shock there's not much more to say
The suspect made a smooth and silent get-away
The scars may slowly heal but they never go away
I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through
The case continues
I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through
Oh tell me that there's still a little love left in you
The case continues
