先從遠處扯起。
最近才漸漸發現
從Annie Lennox的翻唱專輯Medusa
可以聽到許多好作品
Al Green的 Take Me To The River
是獻給老藍調吉他手John Lee Hooker的一首歌
第一次被我聽到 是Talking Heads的翻唱版本
然後是在The Commitments裡的完全靈魂版
The Temptations
另一個靈魂名團
I Can't Get Next To You
是朋友好一陣子的心情
Train In Vain,
龐克大團The Clash少見的R&B作品
Annie在演唱會上的詮釋令人動容
火鍋會上才第一次放Neil Young的 Don't Let It Bring You Down 原版
讓人有些愕然
聽慣了Annie以女性的角度來說故事
換成Neil意外溫柔的嗓音 一時真難以聯想在一起
Wait In Vain
重新聽一遍Bob Marley的低吟
I don't wanna wait in vain for you love......
不懂自己為什麼也會被這種老男人所感動
（這 當然不是說Marley不好 我是很佩服他的）
然後
※ 引述《Losin (陸辛)》之銘言：
: 你們不論唱什麼都真空
: 彷彿聲帶不曾顫動
: 空氣中的介質不需撞擊
: 聲過無痕
: 你們唱沈默之聲
: 樂曲完全不具重量的開始 結束
: 《Simon & Grafunkel》
今晚才在放著 Paul Simon的
Something So Right
想起好一陣子前 這也曾是我的主題曲的
關於感情 牆 以及我愛你。
They built a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep the foreigners they made it strong
And I've got a wall around me
that you can't even see
It took a little time to get next to me
When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
The first to admit it
But the last one to know
When something goes right, well it's likely to lose me
It ought to confuse me
'cause it's such an unusual sight, oh
I can't get used to something so right,
to something so right....
Some people never say the words 'I love you'
It's not their style to be so bald
Some people never say the words 'I love you'
but as a child I'm longing to be told...
They built a wall in China...
And I've got a wall around me...
It took a little time to get next to me

Tell me what you've seen,
Was it a dream?
Was I in it?
