台北游趣事之4

"我想像自己吸著一根煙,走在下著雨的台北熱鬧街道......"

每次到外國旅行,都會帶回一張代表當地的cd,作為紀念......
原本此次到台北旅行,想買當地原族民的音樂,
但聽後感覺不是很對味,沒有買......
結果卻買了一張村上春樹之爵士部屋cd,
該張cd收錄了他作品中曾介紹過的爵士歌手的歌曲,
歌曲都很動聽........

聽完整張專輯後,
自己最喜歡Brook Benton演唱的rainy night in georgia.......
這首歌除旋律動聽和歌手聲線動人外,
更會讓聽歌者的腦海中浮現一個畫面........
一個人走在熱鬧街道,路上車輛來來往往,霓虹燈閃爍......
但是天空卻下著雨.......唉......

我個人相當喜歡這種對比性的畫面,
我想像自己吸著一根煙,走在下著雨的台北熱鬧街道......
啊......更讓人感覺悽美和寂寞......

以下是rainy night in georgia的歌詞......

hovering by my suitcase
tying to find a warm place to spend the night
heavy rains in georgia, a rainy night in georgia
i believe it's raining all over the world
i feel like it's raining all over the world

Neon signs flashing, taxi cabs and buses passing through the night
a distant moaning of a train seems a rainy night in georgia
i believe it's raining all over the world
i feel like it's raining all over the world
how many times i wondered
it still comes out the same
no matter how you look at it or think of it
it's life and you just got to play the game
i find me a place in a box car so i take out my guitar to pass some time
late at night when it's hard to rest
i hold your picture to my chest and i feel fine
but it's a rainy night in georgia
baby, it's a rainy night in georgia
i believe it's raining all over the world
kind of lonely darling it's a raining all over the world
rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy.....
