Song of the Week, 2011-38, Take Me Out, Franz Ferdinand

Their first album always reminds me about my days in UK.

When I walked from school campus back home, sometimes I want some upbeat tunes to drive my pace, and their music (well, maybe not the lyrics) is just perfect for that purpose.

And now I surely need to pick up some pace and catch up.

Song of the Week, 2011-37, Lost!, Coldplay

This is always a good song for cheering.
Hope everything is going to be alright.

Song of the Week, 2011-36, Full Moon, The Black Ghost

Where is home?
The place where we were born?
The place where we grew up?
The place where we found love?
The place where we found meaning?

I think...
Home is the place where we know something, or someone, is waiting for our return.

When the Full Moon turns white that's when I'll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go
And I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me

Like the morning sun, your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long

Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
you're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and
you're still there

In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave

Song of the Week, 2011-035, 願, 林憶蓮

矛盾好像從來都是貶義的。

我們的社會容不下矛盾的事和人，好像我們自出生便要歸邊，非黑即白。要是你有一絲的動搖便是牆頭草、是不要臉的蝙蝠、是沒有主見。所以有些人學會掩飾，學會虛偽，希望用巧言和包裝來蓋過那不被容許的矛盾。但矛盾永遠存在，存在於事物間，存在於關係中、也存在於我們各人的心裡。思考並不令我們免於陷入矛盾，反而思考使我們更發覺矛盾的無可避免。

很喜歡盧梭的一句話「我寧願成為一個自相矛盾的人也不願意成為一個充滿偏見的人」(I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices)。但愈來愈發覺要大方承認自己的矛盾一點也不容易，即使我們每天都過著自相矛盾的日子。

這篇有點不知所云… 因為近日陷入混沌狀態，就是在思考自己生活中的一些矛盾。

這首《願》充斥著矛盾感，也是我這幾天不停聽著的一首歌。

林夕的詞可以殺人。

希望快點找到出口。
