已變難復 - Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower (特雷利克塔)

很多行為,

是基於某些既定信念,

可以是對宗教的信仰;

對專業知識的信心等。

當信念、信仰有改變,

行為也會相應改變。

這些新行為可能會影響與他人在以前已建立的關係:

工作可能會被辭退;

戀情可能會被終止等。

而它很難復元。



Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower


You propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the angels,
Now you're high above the people
Who you used to call your equals.
I will stay behind and live this life
You left me as a witness who
Can tidy up your business and
Record that someone lived here
In the shade of Trellick Tower
In those days of living gently
Something holy used to love me
Something holy used to touch me
Then he heard the voice I couldn't hear
He's gone to where it sent him
And now I'm praying for this pain to clear
He's waiting on ascension.

And now I'm praying but there's still no change
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And I'm praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And you've propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the saints,
Now I've been walking through our house like
separation made it sacred.
I've been burying the books you left
I treat them like they're ancient
And I think relics ache for when the saint had breath
They miss the thing that changed them

And I'm a relic and you're so, so high
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And in the shade of Trellick Tower
I spent a while trying to keep you
Tell all the people moving on, "hey,
Hey, something holy used to live here."
Now I'm a relic of a life gone by,
Kneeling to address the sky
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
Oh, I'll pray until the language dies,
Praying 'cos you're so, so high,
Can I spend my life trying to climb you?


For reference :

活著理由

在這個紛亂無常的時日,
找一個理由活著,
就依它安身立命,也不需別人認同。
因為這一個理由,多數不與別人的重疊。



Finally found a reason to live,
No words can fill my head.
Finally, here at ease, I'm within
The light that fills my head.
And I finally found a reason to live,
And I never knew the way to begin.
Waiting on a wish in a well,
That day may never come.
I've been known to follow my mind,
Those days are far behind.
And I finally found a reason to live,
And I never knew the way to begin.
But now that I see your face,
My world is a better place.
For how can I ever leave you from my world,
Your world?
Finally found a feeling that's real,
In you, in me, I feel.
Time is just a turn of the wheel,
The way to love revealed.
And I finally found a reason to live,
And I never knew the way to begin.
But now that I see your face,
My world is a better place.
For how can I ever leave you from my world,
Your world?

許願但願如願

Plain White T's Airplane 



Airplane, airplane 
Put me to sleep again 
Take me away, off to a dream 
And then I'll fly so high across the sky 
Awake in a new place 
Where mistakes of my past are erased 

Don't drop me 
Don't stop me 
Just hold me 
So cozy 

Airplane, airplane 
Don't you go down today 
Take me away, off to a better place 
You know just where I'd like to go
Please get me there on time
Don't delay me from losing my mind 

Don't drop me 
Don't stop me 
Just hold me 

Airplane, airplane 
Don't you go down today 
Take me away, off to a better place 
You know just where I'd like to go
Please get me there real soon
I've important things that I must do

Mr. Blue Sky (Electric Light Orchestra) - 

Postmodern Jukebox ft. Allison Young





Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do (blue)
Everybody smiles at you

在 YahooBlog 寫 blog 的日子

從電腦的截圖資料找到兩篇
我在YahooBlog寫的Blog文,
很是懷念。
都是很好的回憶。

在 YahooBlog 寫 blog 的日子


寫Blog熱潮在2000年代中開始。
那時很多人寫blog。
YahooBlog是很受歡迎的寫blog平台之一。
據說那時香港的YahooBlog有約200萬個bloggers。
我也在2006年開始在YahooBlog寫blog。

YahooBlog在2010年代中結束。
其實Yahoo還在,她祇停了YahooBlog,
可知寫blog的人開始少了。
YahooBlog協助bloggers將他們的blogs,
搬到Blogger這個平台。

現在寫blog的熱潮已過。
很多人都選擇用其他不同發表平台發表圖文,
包括Facebook,Twitter,Instagram
及 YouTube等
我還繼續寫blog自娛,習慣了
因為寫blog是我的comfort zone 吧!
