在1994年的5月1号，有一个女人跟我讲了一声“生日快乐”，因为这一句话，我会一直记住这个女人。如果记忆是一个罐头的话，我希望这一个罐头不会过期；如果一定要加一个日子的话，我希望是“一万年”。
 
[color=blue]California dreaming 加州之梦
乐队：The Mamas & the Papas
乐队简介：二十世纪六十年代中期，妈妈爸爸在正出现的反文化潮流和广阔的流行市场间搭起了一座桥梁。在他们热情奔放、和谐美妙的音乐中，以民谣摇滚为基音，伴随着他们独特的形象和生活方式，因而非常易于被推广接受。1964年，乐队在加州成立。当时的成员为John Phillips和妻子Michelle、Cass Elliott、Denny Doherty。1965年，乐队受雇于Dunhill唱片公司，负责给公司旗下艺人伴唱。有感於该乐队的努力工作和John Phillips超凡的作曲天赋——“California Dreaming”(加州之梦)，公司和他们签了约。乐队在1966年推出了单曲“California Dreaming”，在排行榜排名第4，共售出了100万张。同年，“Monday,Monday”、“I Saw Her Again”都先后进入排行榜前5名。
尽管音乐在当时的西海岸反文化潮流的冲击下变得十分抽象，但妈妈爸爸却将大众流行化和严肃音乐的内涵在他们的作品中巧妙地结合起来。1967年，乐队因在“Monday,Monday”中的出色演绎获得了当年葛莱美最佳创作、年度最佳流行乐队两个奖项，6月，乐队参加了西海岸举办的蒙特利流行音乐节。
然而，此时的妈妈爸爸却逐渐产生了严重分歧。John Phillips和妻子Michelle在1967年离婚。1968年，Michelle退出乐队。2月，乐队宣告解散。

[COLOR=RED][size=3]All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today[/COLOR][/size]

the sound of silence
歌手:paul simon
the sound of silence
sung by "paul simon"
hello darkness my old friend.
i've come to talk with you again.
because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while i was sleeping.
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains with the sound of silence
in restless dreams i walk alone
narrow streets of cobble stone
beneath the hallo of a street lamp,
i turned my collar to the cold and damp
when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
hat split the night
and touched the sound of silence
and in the naked night i saw ten thousand people may be more
people talking without speaking hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
and no one dare disturb the sound of silence
"fool" said i "you do not know
silence like a cancer grows
hear my words that i might teach you
take my arms that i might reach you
but my words like silent rain-drops fell
and echo-ed in the wells of silence
and the people bow and prayed
to the neon god they made
and the sign flash out its warning
in the words that it was forming
and the sings said "the words of the prophers are
written the subway walls and tenement halls"
and whispered in the sounds of silence
the end.

怪物史瑞克的主题歌hallelujah song
 
Hallelujah
I've heard there was
A secret chord
That David played, and
It pleased the Lord
But you don't really care
For music, do you?
It goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king
Composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong
But you needed proof
You saw her bathing
On the roof
Her beauty and the
Moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
And she cut your hair
And from your lips
She drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone
Before I knew you
I've seen your flag
On the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time
You let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show
It to me, do you?
I remember when
I moved in, you
Your holy dark
Was moving too
And every breath we drew
Was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever
Learned from love
Was how to shoot
At someone
Who outdrew you
It's not a cry
You can hear at night
It's not somebody
Who's seen the light
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah /Hallelujah, Hallelujah /Hallelujah, Hallelujah /Hallelujah, Hallelujah

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle

Near the village the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don\'t fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don\'t fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight

[[COLOR=RED]]the day you went away
歌手:m2m 专辑:shades of purple
well i wonder could it be
when i was dreaming about you baby
you were dreaming of me
call me crazy
call me blind
to still be suffering is stupid after all of this time
did i lose my love to someone better
and does she love you like i do
i do, you know i really really do
well hey
so much i need to say
been lonely since the day
the day you went away
so sad but true
for me there's only you
been crying since the day
the day you went away
i remember date and time
september twenty second
sunday twenty five after nine
in the doorway with your case
no longer shouting at each other
there were tears on our faces
and we were letting go of something special
something we'll never have again
i know, i guess i really really know
why do we never know what we've got till it's gone
how could i carry on the day you went away
cause i've been missing you so much i have to say[/COLOR]

[color=blue]原名叫Rebert Allen Zimmerman（罗伯特.阿兰.泽默尔曼）的迪伦在1962年正式改了名，这件事一直是他的传记作者们考证不完的话题，最普遍的一种解释是，这位从明尼苏达州立大学辍学的年轻歌手喜欢读诗，荚国诗人Dylan Thomas（狄伦.托马斯，人称“疯狂的狄伦”）就是他的灯塔之一。可不是吗、如果所有的诗都像《随风飘荡》那样又简洁又深刻，词句间流淌着智者的光华，同时又朴实得像民歌，那么当代的现代派诗人们就不会抱怨读者看不懂诗了。诗歌对干鲍勃.迪伦来说，是智慧的源泉，但不是全部，他似乎天生是一位民谣歌手，要汲取社会和青春的养分。在某些特别的年代，例如发表《随风飘荡》的1962年，青春被更大小力量所裹挟，化作勇气和缝刃介入了社会运动之中。鲍勃.迪伦刚刚因弹唱的魅力而崭露头，马上就因为对政治的关注、对青年的唤起而跃升为巨星。瞧啊，那真是个思想的年伏，不用谈论爱情、只需社会责任感就可以成为偶像！
1963年，鲍勃. 迪伦22岁，一把吉它，一只架在脖子上的口琴、真正的破嗓子，还有乱糟糟的发型，他出现在有4万6千人参加的第三届“新港音乐节”上，顺理成章地接受了爱好思想的一代人的初次爱戴。8月27日、美国历史上鼓舞人心的一天，20万人参加了著名的华盛顿公民权大游行。黑人民权领袖马丁.路德.金激情四射，有如神助，发表了名垂青史的著名演讲“我有一个梦想”而鲍勃.迪伦，则用他的抗议歌曲真正站上了时代的顶峰。想起这些，有些人的血会热起来，有些人则并下动容，因为斗争这件事，当然不是我们的义务。但从那风云激荡的往事中，我们似乎可以领悟到民谣的价值所在，它吸取了一代人的共同感受、凝聚了人们生活的世界的特征，再由一个保留着个性的人唱出来，当然会有它神奇的力量了。
《随风飘荡》更因为它歌词的智，而成为时时提醒人自省的名作。“一个人要走多少路，才会被称作男人？白鸽要飞过多少大海，才能在沙滩长眠？炮弹要飞行多少次，他们才会忘记战争？......一个人要抬头多少次，才能够看见天空？一个人要有多少只耳朵，才能够听到们的哭泣？”读起来真真有点像八十年代初的中国诗歌领袖北岛一一“镀金的天空中飘荡了死者弯曲的到影......告诉你吧，世界，我不相信！”
一种冷峻的思考通过迪伦散漫的演唱流露出来，让人不得不喜欢上他粗糙随意的风格，他越是随意，这歌也就越能接近人心中未经修饰的部分。请不要说，只有在理想主义的国度人们才会弃形式而重思想，事实上，就是在我们生活着的这个精美、琐屑的空间里，迪伦的歌还是那么雄辩，有点旧，但却高傲，让人甘心从花花世界抽身出来，听一听、唱一唱。这是为什么？答案在风中飘荡.....[/color]
Blowing in the Wind
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
before you they call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
before it 's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
before they're allowed to be free?
Yes,'n' how many times can a man turn his head
pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin'in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take
till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
