唱出希望 - 曾沛慈（奇妙的旅程電影主題曲）

這個短片是不小心在推推王看到的 ── 曾沛慈為電影「奇妙的旅程」現場獻唱主題曲。

曾沛慈才唱了幾句，我整個人就有被電到的感覺。明明是這麼簡單的旋律，這麼平鋪直敘的文字，怎麼會產生這麼大的力量？我真的是感到很驚訝，也再次體會到歌聲中所流露的感情，才是最能打動人心的東西。所以我不管她之後會是第二屆超級星光大道的第幾名，但她若有機會發行個人專輯，我一定會去買一張。



##CONTINUE##她現場演唱的版本，聲音清澈又具穿透力，而下面的電影預告片，也請一定要聽到最後「Oh my my my my my wish yeah～」那裡。她從心底深處哼唱出來的那一句，輕柔地撫慰了震撼不已的心，整個激動的情緒像是找到了出口，我的眼淚完全止不住地掉下來...

Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani

這幾天，在找一些跟啦啦隊有關的歌曲做為寫作的參考。經由高人指點，據係關‧史蒂芬妮（Gwen Stefani）的歌不能錯過，還進一步聽說，Hollaback Girl（2005年4月發行）更是經典中的經典。我無聊地按照維基百科的介紹換算她的年紀，發現Gwen在唱那首歌時已經36歲，但MV裡的她還是看起來像個十幾歲的青少年，所以囉！其實白皮膚的美國人仍然可以駐顏有術的！



Uh huh, this my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this

Chorus [x2]:
Few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

##CONTINUE##Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

I've heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up

Chorus [x2]:
Few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit[x4]

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student-teachers
Both of us wanna be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna suck it to you
That's right, I'm the last one standing, another one bites the dust

Chorus [x2]:
Few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S! (again)
This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Chorus [x2]:
Few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [4x]

The L word：I never should have let you go...

[Tina and Kate are holding hands and walking on the beach, and Tina's cell starts to ring, then they're both laughing out.]

Kate: The executive...

Tina: Hold on... It's... Erm... Bette.

Tina: Hey...

Bette: I am sorry. Is it too late to call?

##CONTINUE##Tina: Oh.. no, it's not too late.

Bette: Are you still in Tasha's party?

Tina: Yeah... I'm still here. I'm on the beach with Kate.

Bette: Oh... I just... I just... I just need one more little thing... Just tell me what to say when I give her the sign...

Tina: ok... I never should have let you go... I would do anything for another chance... I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself... okay, sleep well.

Bette: Thank you, Ti.

上面的劇本是我聽寫打出來的，所以如有錯誤請多包含！

這是我在第四季「The L word」裡很感動的片段，首先讓我敘述一下整件事當時的背景。（文中有雷，不喜者請勿繼續閱讀）

Bette和Tina是第一季裡的模範伴侶，共同生活了八年，正準備要生小孩來共組家庭。然而，Tina第一次的懷孕卻不幸以流產告終。Bette為了不讓Tina更傷心，一直強忍住悲痛，但心疼Bette的Tina已不願再次讓Bette承擔失去孩子的苦。她偷偷地私下做了第二次的受孕，原本想等到寶寶穩定了之後再告訴Bette，但沒想到Bette卻在此時，與她任職總監的藝術中心裡做裝潢的女木工Candace出軌。Tina在發現事實後受到了非常大的打擊，於是搬離開她們共同的家，而住到好友Alice那裡暫時冷靜。

在第二季，Bette發覺自己還是深愛著Tina，然而Tina心裡卻已做了將獨自照顧女兒的打算。Bette開始盡一切的努力想要挽回Tina，但溫柔又多金的Helena在此時出現，她的細心照顧讓大腹便便的Tina動了心，而Bette也對Tina似乎不再需要依賴她的改變感到很害怕。後來，Bette的父親罹患了絕症，就在她默默地承受著照料父親的重擔時，Tina感受到了Bette的脆弱，因此常常回到她身邊給予她精神上的支持。Tina這時也才真正明白，Bette在她心中的地位沒人比得上，且她也希望給女兒Angelica一個完整的家，所以在第二季結束的時候，她倆總算和好如初。

第三季，Bette失去了工作，為了支應家裡龐大的財務支出，於是Tina接受了Helena提供在電影公司擔任行政主管的機會。但自從兩人有了Angelica之後，重心開始都放在女兒身上，加上Tina工作忙碌，互動的機會變少，關係漸漸不再那麼地緊密。Tina有時會嚮往與男性共組家庭，以及與男性親密關係的感受（Tina在遇到Bette之前，一直都是異性戀）。Bette知道了後，認為Tina已經決定背棄一切，於是要求Tina離開，還激烈地想要爭取Angelica的獨立扶養權。最後兩人不愉快地決裂，Bette更未經Tina的同意，私自帶走了Angelica。

到了目前最新的第四季，Bette終於把孩子還給Tina，且在律師的調解下，兩人各自取得了一半的撫養權。她們慢慢地習慣了這樣類似離婚後，共同照顧小孩的關係，Bette也在學校找到了新的工作，兩人彼此都有了全新的開始。但Tina在異性戀的世界卻越來越不能適應，她發現與新伴侶Henry在心靈上無法溝通，而且她非常想念與Bette在一起的時光。只是當她想回頭告訴Bette自己還愛著她的時候，卻發現Bette已經喜歡上另一個才華洋溢的藝術家Jodi。Jodi與Bette在各方面都是足以相抗衡的強勢與契合，Tina看見了她們眼中的火花，雖然很難受，但還是衷心的希望Bette能夠快樂。所以當Jodi受不了Bette的獨斷與霸道而決定離開，Tina仍願意不斷出主意去幫助Bette挽回Jodi的心。

這一個片段，是在第四季最後一集Bette要去求得Jodi原諒前，打電話問Tina應該在明天見到她的時候說些什麼。而Tina站在想要追求她的Kate旁邊，仍毫無保留地說了那幾句，其實是內心的自己最想跟Bette說的話：「我根本就不應該讓妳走... 我願意做任何事來換取另一次機會... 我一點都不害怕自己會像個傻瓜一樣... 」Bette聽完了後重重嘆了一口氣，想必相處八年的默契讓她也很明白，Tina語氣裡隱藏的濃濃愛意。但此刻在Tina身旁的人已經換成Kate，縱然心中有再多情感在翻滾著，Bette也不能多說些什麼。

我最討厭相愛的人不能在一起的劇情，但我想在現實的世界裡，這卻是無時無刻不上演的真實劇碼。不能說的感覺，其實最想被聽見，只是被聽見又能如何？就讓我們來期待第五季吧！

Whether You Fall - Tracy Bonham

Whether it's the sunshine whether it's the rain
Doesn't make a difference 'til you complain
Whether it's the water coming in from the roof
Does it piss you off that you're not water proof?

Whether you fall means nothing at all
It's whether you get up it's whether you get up

And you hate the silence as it fills up the room
And there's not much to say to your blushing groom
Maybe all eyes are on you as you finish the race
And the world sees you struggling for last place

In the Sun - Joseph Arthur

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

##CONTINUE##May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
'cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

'cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You ～
I find you ～

I don't know anymore
What it's for I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Would you help me to understand
'cause I been caught in between all you wish for and all you need
Oh now maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

Dear Mr. President - Pink

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

##CONTINUE##What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you about hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you about hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you about hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you about hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing about hard work
Hard work
Hard work Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high

Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

「最遙遠的距離」預告片 +「崇拜」MV

2007年11月12日，下午五點二十五分，我在信義威秀，第九廳，抱著滿滿的期待等著電影播映。

##CONTINUE##在畫面流逝間，我自己的思緒有點抽離；也許是部分剪接的片段不夠緊湊，又或者某些對白太過於繞口，感覺常常無法連貫，讓我並沒有完全進入主角們的世界裡。

不過我很喜歡兩個男主角最後戲劇治療的那一段，小湯的演出很動人；還有小雲帶著錄音筆，錄下自己想說的話，卻不打算讓想說的那個人知道，聲音當中的痛...

有時候生命的苦，需要放逐來救贖，而當有一天，我們願意放棄追尋那些「為什麼」的答案，我想，才能夠得到真正的解脫...



梁靜茹的新歌「崇拜」，配上這部電影的畫面，更相互增添了一些淒美的感覺，值得一看。
