Sufjan Stevens - Now That I'm Older

It's different now I think
I wasn't older yet
I wasn't wise, I guess
Somewhere I lost whatever else I had
I wasn't over you
I see it run inside itself
And then I called you out
I'm not such older than I was
I'm feeling so much righter now
And then I woke myself, confused
Your dress comes down
To you, don't get it wrong, don't get excited
I wanted so much to be at rest
Now that I'm older
So be it so of love

The silent man comes down
All dressed in radiant colors
You see it for yourself
To demonstrate my love for you
You I thought I was so in love
Some say it wasn't true
Now that I'm older
Now, now that I'm older

There's so much travel
And now that I'm older
Someone else, can see it for myself
So much travel, yeah
Now that I'm older
 我在想這首歌應該要上了點年紀的人聽會比較有感覺,然而Sufjan Stevens卻以35歲年紀就寫出這樣的歌詞,讓我其實有點訝異,若是亞洲人或許在這樣的文化環境下我或許會覺得有可能,但以英美文化那樣的氛圍,我是比較驚奇 Sufjan 真的不太像在老美文化下長大的小孩,更何況是來自底特律。

「齊天大聖孫悟空」主題曲〈水噴噴〉Vs. Ivan - 〈Sin Amor〉

記得小時候很愛看黃俊雄布袋戲,「雲州大儒俠史豔文」等經典戲碼就不用多說了,大家耳熟能詳,然而在當時,我對「齊天大聖孫悟空」這齣戲相當喜愛,一方面可能劇情比較活潑討喜,另一方面則是對那齣戲的主題曲印象非常深刻,我相信許多四、五年級生應該都有相同的經驗,在這之前,本來一直以為這首〈水噴噴〉應該是黃大師找人譜詞曲的原作,歌中的歌詞如下:

威震在花果山下的美猴王,講道義、守公理、除暴安良;
求長生,渡遠洋,步過萬重山,七情六慾,煙消雲散,名利看得淡;
不怕苦、不畏難、衝破黑暗關,水噴噴、水噴噴…
任我行,無中生有,點石成金,撒豆能成兵;
懂仙術,武藝精,事事皆稱心,水噴噴、水噴噴…
我是脫胎換骨,快樂的孫悟空。

然而最近在聽一套《La Historia Definitiva Del Pop Espanol • Los 70. 1》西班牙拉丁流行歌曲經典選集時,赫然意外聽到一段很熟悉的旋律時,才猛然回想起這不就是當年〈美噴噴〉的副歌旋律嗎。

天啊!想不到這首歌居然是改編翻唱拉丁disco歌曲,頗讓我大感意外,不過意外發現原唱還是讓我頗開心。



甚至到Youtube上找,還可以翻到當時原主唱的現場片段,更爆笑的是,你如果注意一下這位伊凡帥哥拿麥克風的花招時,會不會讓你想起早期那時候某男偶像歌星唱歌時也是很喜歡這樣換手接麥克風?想來藝能界的資訊也都互通有無的。嘿,小應,我記得這招你也會吧。
