LYRICS

Who are you when the lights come up? // When the music fades and the crowd goes down? // Where did you land when the spinning stopped? // Are you far away in another town? // You were young and the lights were bright // You went dancing into the night // You always said it would turn out alright // Suzanne, will you tell me if you can? // Suzanne, is it everything you wanted? // Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be? // You reached for the stars and you touched the sky // You fеll back down and you don't know why // But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me // You arе the first one on and the last one off // Who do you see when the mask comes off? // With your red wine teeth and your smoker's cough // Suzanne, I'm sure you've had enough // But you never cared for what I had to say // Now you go sleeping all through the day // Please don't dream your life away // Suzanne, would you help me to understand? // Suzanne, is it everything you wanted? // Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be? // For time takes everything she likes // And youth will leave like a thief in the night // But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me // Now you're old and the lights are dim // The band won't play and the man won't sing // All the songs that he sang when you danced with him // Suzanne, can I take you by the hand? // Suzanne, is it everything you wanted? // Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be? // You never knew the rules to the game // Drawn in like a moth to the flame // Suzanne, it is a crying shame // That they'll never know your name
人生有兩個主要的階段,一個是解決難題的當下,另一個是解決下個難題前的過渡。

FAVORITE LINE // Now you're old and the lights are dim

寫了那麼多未來的規劃,今天該來記錄一下近期的生活大事了。 這個月稱得上大事的,大概只有上個禮拜去的阿溪縱走勉強算是一個吧!
阿溪縱走。 以阿里山做為起點,途經眠月線美麗又考驗懼高者膽量的鐵道(摔下去粉身碎骨那種高)。 從第一天露營的石猴跋山涉水到水樣森林的路上,有一條岔路,繞進去會看到一棵被雷摧殘過的眠月神木,神木中空、帶著淡淡的香氣。 到達神木的時候,累得不成人形的大夥兒們(當然有部分的人口,還是很有活力的)欣賞完四周的景色後一個個癱坐在地上。
當時的我,除了原地讚嘆大自然的鬼斧神工以外,我腦子裡一邊佩服自己能夠一路走到那兒,一面偷偷的後悔自己參加了這考驗身心的旅程,順便思念下我家那永不背叛的,我的床。 當然,這一切哭天喊地的想像,都在下山以後,成為了我更健壯的肌肉們(自豪中)。

. 烏托邦
烏托邦一詞源自於十六世紀由湯瑪斯.摩爾Thomas More以拉丁文撰寫的《烏托邦 Utopia》一書。 書名《Utopia》由ou和topos兩個字組合而成,ou有「沒有」或「好」這兩種解讀方式,topos則是地方的意思。 合在一起解讀,就如同陶淵明《桃花源記》裡的桃花源一樣,是個美好卻不真實的理想國。 當然,除了摩爾和陶淵明這兩位歷史人物以外,當然還有不少人也提過相似的概念。
而在大多數有關烏托邦的文獻中,根據教育部在教育百科裡的的分類,有幾種常見的目的。 有基於抒發個人對現狀不滿而寫的「抒情文?」,也有試圖勾勒或指引人類努力方向的研究,有部份除了勾勒出的理想社會模型以外,還試著解釋了現有的缺失,甚至提供了改善現況的方案。

.Suzanne
把視角拉回今天分享的歌曲。 歌曲的開始,我們看到一位年邁的女子,獨自一人坐在酒吧裡的包廂內。
桌上的那杯紅酒,帶我們進入她的回憶,來到了一場派對。 台上身穿白色西裝的樂團彈奏著樂器、唱著輕鬆的曲目,台下五彩繽紛的燈光,照映著少男少女們的臉龐,他們各自邀請心儀的對象,跟隨著舞曲輕輕的搖擺著。
年輕的小夥子追逐著女孩的腳步,走進了佈滿小燈泡的、像是夢境一般的地方。 他們深情的望進彼此的雙眼,似乎周圍的一切都逐漸模糊,只有眼中的彼此是清晰的。
當燈光黯淡,舞曲停歇,眾人嚮往的所謂康莊大道,也會是她心之所向嗎?
