I really don't know life at all。。。



Both Sides Now  – Joni Mitchell


Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
列をなす天使の髪の浮氷
お空に浮かぶアイスクリームのお城
羽毛の渓谷がいたるところに
雲のことをそんな風に見ていました

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
でも今となってはお日様をさえぎるだけ
みんなのところに雨や雪を降らせるもの
私はたくさんことができたのに
雲が邪魔をしたのです

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down
And still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
雲を両側から見てきました
上側と下側から
でもどういうわけか
思い起こすのは雲の幻影
私は雲のことなんか全然わからないのです

Moons and Junes and ferries wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
月の満ち欠け、巡りくる六月、観覧車
どんなおとぎ話も本当になる気がするほど
めまぐるしく踊っているような感覚
愛をそんな風に見ていました

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care
, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
でも今やありきたりなショー
去るときは笑わせておけばいいのです
気にしていても、それを悟られてはいけません
わざわざ自分をさらけ出すことなんてないのです

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take
And still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
愛を両側から見てきました
与える側ともらう側から
でもどういうわけか
思い起こすのは愛の幻影
私は愛のことなんか全然わからないのです

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
涙、恐れ、誇りを感じること
「愛しています」とはっきりと言うこと
夢、企み、サーカスの群衆
人生をそんな風に見ていました

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads
, they say I've changed
Well something's lost
, but something's gained
In living every day
でも古い友人が最近おかしいのです
首を振りながら「あなた変わったわね」なんて言うのです
たしかに失うこともあり、得ることもあったわ
毎日を生きてきた中で

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose
And still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
人生を両側から見てきました
勝者の側と敗者の側から
でもどういうわけか
思い起こすのは人生の幻想
私は人生のことなんか全然わからないのです

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose
And still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
人生を両側から見てきました
勝者の側と敗者の側から
でもどういうわけか
思い起こすのは人生の幻想
私は人生のことなんか全然わからないのです


私は人生のことなんか全然わからないのです。。。

非常非常喜愛的一首歌
在人生的不同階段
每每有不同的體會
真是奇妙。。。

昭和の女、平成の唄。。。



作詞:松原史明    作曲:杉本真人

昨日の夢を追いかけて
今夜もひとり ざわめきに遊ぶ

追逐著昨日的夢
今夜也是一個人 於塵囂中遊蕩


昔の自分が なつかしくなり
酒をあおる

從前的自己 如此令人懷念
且讓我痛飲一杯


騒いで飲んで いるうちに
こんなにはやく 時は過ぎるのか

喧鬧的 醉眼朦朧之間
時光啊 就這樣快過去了嗎

琥珀のグラスに 浮かんで消える
虹色の夢

琥珀色的酒杯中 忽隱忽現的
是那七彩的夢

紅い花
想いを込めて ささげた恋唄

紅花啊
滿懷眷戀 獻上一曲戀歌

あの日あの頃は 今どこに
いつか消えた夢ひとつ

那些日子那些時光 如今去了何處
不知不覺消失的一個夢

悩んだあとの 苦笑い
くやんでみても 時は戻らない

懊惱之後 只能付諸苦笑
即便懊悔又如何 時光呀一去不復返

疲れた自分が 愛しくなって
酒にうたう

對疲憊不堪的自己 顧影自憐
不妨對酒當歌

いつしか外は 雨の音
乾いた胸が 思い出に濡れて

不知不覺 外面傳來淅淅瀝瀝的雨聲
乾沽的心啊 被思憶之潮打濕

灯りがチラチラ 歪んでうつる
あの日のように

燈光閃爍 杯盞燈影斜映
彷彿昔日重現



紅い花
踏みにじられて 流れた恋唄

紅花啊
在世人的腳下 流淌著的戀歌

あの日あの頃は 今どこに
いつか消えた影ひとつ

那些日子那些時光 如今去了何處
不知不覺消失的一個身影


紅い花
暗闇の中 むなしい恋唄

紅花啊
黑暗中 一曲虛幻的戀歌


あの日あの頃は 今どこに
今日も消える夢ひとつ
今日も消える夢ひとつ。。。

那些日子那些時光 如今去了何處
今日又消失的一個夢
今日又消失的一個夢。。。


在下唯一翻唱許可:)



昭和の女、平成の歌
令和のこの小雨の日曜日午後
こころに響く

ずっと、私は昭和の女だと思っている。。。

The Day You Said Goodbye...




Larry Willis Trio - The Big Push (2006)























Personnel:
Larry Willis – piano
Buster Williams – bass
Al Foster – drums

Tracklist:
01. Surrey with the Fringe on Top
02. Today's Nights
03. The Day You Said Goodbye
04. Just Wait and See
05. Annika's Lullaby
06. I Have a Dream
07. Everything I Have Is Yours
08. Big Push
09. Poppa Nat

Label: HighNote Records (HCD 7144)





Long a greatly in-demand sideman, pianist Larry Willis excels during this opportunity to lead his own trio. With superb support from bassist Buster Williams and the tasteful drummer Al Foster, Willis explores a variety of standards, obscurities, and a pair of his originals. The interpretations are lyrical, quietly emotional, harmonically sophisticated, and full of subtle surprises. This is the type of jazz recording that grows in interest with each listen, for there is a great deal happening just beneath the surface.

I was supposed to be there...



Today, I was supposed to be there:Eglwys Cwyfan.
亦稱 St. Cwyfan's Church
在威爾士的Anglesey.

一座建於12世紀位於海中央的教堂
第一眼見到,強烈吸引住我的
是 寂寥莫名的曠世感🔻

A Rainy Day in New York

 

紐約的一個雨天
一如既往 很伍迪艾倫
片中的紐約,才是我印象中的紐約

影片結尾,中央公園那個鐘
也是我喜歡的地方🔻

































很喜歡公園的長椅🔻

































Autumn in New York,
耳邊想起的是Ella & Louis的版本
眾多爵士名家演繹中最喜歡的版本🔻



很偶然,酒店就在中央車站隔壁,甚至中間有道門直通著🔻


你沒看錯,中央車站大堂有間蘋果
我電腦壞了,匆忙在那裡買了一部air。。。

I love New York❤️

ACT 2017


Adam Bałdychs new album is called Brothers,” and is dedicated to the memory of his brother who passed away. The violinist is able truly to portray the entire gamut of emotions through music. In the pianissimo moments it is replete with feeling and also clarity, and on the other hand Bałdych can take it to a point where it is so strong and loud it feels almost ready to burst. I would like my music,” says Bałdych, to ingrain itself into the present time, and also to reflect it. It should take on board the cares and the yearnings of now. 

The title of Adam Bałdychs previous album from 2015 was Bridges. And indeed, the Polish violinist is one of the leading builders of bridges between genres in current European jazz. Only 31 years old, he already has a whole sheaf of distinguished awards to his name, notably an ECHO Jazz Prize. His music combines Polish folk, classical music and many different kinds of jazz. He plays with an astonishing technical range, in which classical finesse is combined with swirling improvisation - and the defiant energy and power of rock music. Since 2015, Bałdych has been building these kinds of bridges in the company of the Norwegian Helge Lien Trio. With Helge, Frode and Per Oddvar we have clocked up thousands of kilometres together; these musicians are way more than just a backing band,” says the violinist. 

Adam Bałdychs new album is called Brothers,” and is dedicated to the memory of his brother who passed away. So, for Bałdych and his band colleagues, it is about far more than either mere virtuosity or entertainment. I would like my music,” says Bałdych, to ingrain itself into the present time, and also to reflect it. It should take on board the cares and the yearnings of now. What I really wish for my music is that it should convey a message about love and beauty; more than ever we ought to feel that we are brothers and sisters, in order to understand each other better. This lofty goal is reflected in track titles such as Faith”, Love”, One and Shadows. And through all that shared experience of playing with Helge Lien on piano, Frode Berg on bass and Per Oddvar Johansen on drums, Bałdych has the ideal means to express many different aspects of brotherliness through music. The group is also joined on some tracks by Norwegian saxophonist Tore Brunborg, known for his work with artists such as Tord Gustavsen and Manu Katchè. 

That deep sense of brotherliness between musicians is the starting-point for this band: Only with complete trust and understanding can we achieve the objective of musical unity,” says Bałdych. What we want is to embark on musical journeys without compromises, and to have the courage to discover the unknown. This unity in their way of making music shines through in all nine tracks on this CD, of which eight are original compositions by Bałdych. The album also hangs together convincingly as a whole – to some extent it has become a concept album. Bałdych draws an extended arc which runs from the heavy and rocky anthem Elegy”, through the ballad Faith which carefully draws the listener into its confidence and modulates from major to minor. It then takes in a lyrical pledge of unity (”One”) and the title track Brothers which agitatedly circles around its theme, and arrives at a point where Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen seems to emerge from nothingness, and quietly to disappear back into it. 

Compared to our last album Bridges”, says Bałdych, the music in "Brothers" is dirtier and more uninhibited. It is as if we can exist on that knife-edge between what Lacan called the cry and silence. And that is how the world is now: joy and tragedy can co-exist right next to each other. 

The violinist is able truly to portray the entire gamut of emotions through music. In the pianissimo moments it is replete with feeling and also clarity, and on the other hand Bałdych can take it to a point where it is so strong and loud it feels almost ready to burst. The interaction of Polish and Scandinavian sounds, of the American and European traditions of improvising, and the ways in which styles and genres unite and complement each other…everything happens a way which carries that spirit of brotherliness. And so listeners are also inevitably drawn in - as spiritual brothers or sisters.




2019,用LOVE開始吧。

驚聞天人



一曲「Joanne」,一個不同的GaGa

The most influential book in my life:


































在我人生最挫敗的時候,我遇到了這本書。
它成為了我的諾亞方舟。

Only you know what you value most,
who you want to share your life with,
what kind of environment you want to be in,
and ultimately how to make the best choices to bring those things about.
(只有你知道你最看重什麼,
你願意與誰共度人生,
你想要什麼樣的環境,
只有你能最終做出最好的決定,
盡最大可能實現這一切。)

Get rid of irrelevant details so that essential things
and the relationships between them stand out.
"Any damn fool can make it complex.
It takes a genius to make it simple."
(撇掉無關細節, 讓重要因素及其相互關係呈現出來。
“每個傻子都能把事情複雜化,只有天才才能把事情簡單化。”)

Knowing how one is wired is necessary first step on any life journey.
It doesn't matter what you do with your life,
as long as you are doing what is consistent with your nature and your aspirations.
(在任何生命歷程中,了解人的特性都是必要的第一步。
你做什麼並不重要,只要你做的符合自己的個性和人生理想。)

I can assure you that,
beyond a basic level,
there is no correlation between happiness levels and conventional markers of success.
A carpenter who derives his deepest satisfaction from working with wood
can easily have a life as good or better than the president of the United States.
(我可以明確地説,
在基本生活線之上,
幸福水平和常規的成功標準之間沒有任何聯繫。
一個能從木工中得到內心滿足的木匠,
能輕鬆擁有和美國總統一樣美好甚至比美國總統更好的生活。)

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses,
and everyone has an important role to play in life.
Nature made everything and everyone for a purpose.
The courage that's needed the most isn't the kind that drives you to prevail over others,
but the kind that allows you to be true to your truest self,
no matter what other people want you to be.
(人人都有長處和短處,
人人都能在生活中扮演重要角色。
大自然塑造萬事萬物皆有目的。
你最需要的勇氣不是驅使你戰勝別人的勇氣,
而是不管其他人對你有何期望,
你始終堅持做最真實的自我的勇氣。)

Whatever circumstances life brings you,
you will be more likely to succeed and find happiness
if you take responsibility for making your decisions well
instead of complaining about things being beyond your control.
Psychologists call this having an "internal locus of control,"
people who have it outperform those who don't.
(不管在生活中遇到什麼情況,
如果你能負起責任,進行良好的決策,
而不是抱怨你無法控制的東西,
你將更有可能成功並找到幸福。
心理學家稱此為擁有“內控點”。
擁有“內控點”的人比其他人做得更好。)

So don't worry about whether you like your situation or not.
Life doesn't give a damn about what you like.
It's up to you to connect what you want with what you need to do to get it
and then find the courage to carry it through.
(不要為喜不喜歡自己的處境擔憂。
生活根本不關心你喜歡什麼。
你必須根據自己的願望找到實現願望的途徑,
然後鼓起勇氣堅持下去。)

Watching people struggle and having others watch you struggle
can elicit all kinds of ego-driven emotions
such as sympathy, pity, embarrassment, anger, or defensiveness.
You need to get over all that and stop seeing struggling as something negative.
(看別人如何苦拼,讓別人看你如何苦拼,會引發各種自我情緒。
如同情、憐憫、難堪、憤怒、戒備等。
你需要克服這一切,不再把苦拼視為負面的東西。)

Most of life's greatest opportunities come out of moments of struggle;
it's up to you to make the most of these tests of creativity and character.
(人一生最好的機會大多數來自苦拼的經歷。
苦拼是對人的創造性和個性的考驗,
你應該從這些考驗中挖掘出最大的價值。)

Don't avoid confronting problems because they are rooted in harsh realities that are unpleasant to look at.
(不要逃避問題,因為問題根植於看起來並不美好的殘酷現實。)

Thinking about problems that are difficult to solve may make you anxious,
but not thinking about them (and hence not dealing with them)
should make you more anxious still.
When a problem stems from your own lack of talent or skill,
most people feel shame.
Get over it.
Acknowledging your weaknesses is not the same as surrendering to them.
It's the first step toward overcoming them.
The pains you are feeling are "growing pains"
that will test your character and reward you as you push through them.
(思考難以解決的問題也許會讓你焦慮,
但不思考(因此不嘗試解決)肯定會讓你更焦慮。
當問題但原因是自身缺乏某種天賦或技能時。
大多數人會感到羞愧。
克服這種羞愧。
承認你的弱點並不是向弱點投降,而是克服弱點的第一步。
你感到的痛苦是“成長的痛苦”,
它將考驗你的個性,
當你忍痛前行時給你回報。)
