    FM107有档节目叫“领唱的私房歌”,那天偶然听了一期,王涛童鞋推荐的歌还不错,尤其是最后那首并未正式发行的歌。有新闻说在跑步时听音乐是有助于提高耐力的,当然,也有说跑步时不能听歌而要聆听自己的呼吸及心跳。我大约是习惯,所以跑步得戴着耳机才心安,其实多数时候并未把思想集中在ipod播放的音乐上。再说说所谓的“私房歌”,主要是一些个人喜欢,但不是很流行的歌儿,比如王涛推荐的一个叫“孙嫣然”的女歌手,我就是第一次听,很不错。

    那么,我也推荐几首我非常喜欢的,却并不是很流行的歌儿吧,权且也算是我的“私房歌”。

    尹吾只出过一张专辑,叫《每个人额度一生都一次远行》,每一首歌都很耐听。特别推荐:《好了好了》,词曲唱都是尹吾:

    社会就是人和人之间的战争
    自身利益是人唯一可靠的动机
    既使天崩地裂也要行使正义
    盖棺定论还是好人长命

    在这场关于生存的竞争中
    我既不成功也不自由十分疲惫
    谁能给我指明前程的方向
    是你吗我的神甫
    你不过是教堂里的老鼠


    好了好了我接受全部的失败
    全部的空酒瓶子空空的钱夹子
    好了好了不要再说了我知道我明了
    生活是次机会仅仅一次

    Butterfly Boucher,不算很有名的澳洲歌手,很多人知道她,也许就是因为听过这首在《Grey's Anatomy》第一季里出现过的插曲《life is short》,这首歌也是我的power song:

    When it doesn't rain it snores
    Yeah the cookie crumbles but in who's hand?
    All things said and all things done
    Life is short

    Oh I am young but have aged
    Waited long to seize the day
    All things said and plenty done...life is short

    Ooooh could this be....
    Ooooh could this be the day I've waited for?

    Another door to peek in through
    The floor is filthy
    But the couch is clean
    At the end of the day
    That's another day gone
    Life is short....Ooo life is short

    Ooooh
    Could this be....
    Ooooh
    Could the be the day I've waited for?

    Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

    Oh I am young but I have aged
    Waited long ot seize the day
    All things said and plently done
    Oh I am young but I have a past
    Travelled for to find the start
    Yes I am scared and I've been burnt
    But life is to short

    Ooooh
    Could this be...
    Ooooh
    Could this be the day I've waited for?

     Matthew Lien的专辑里,《In So Many Words》并不是最著名的一张,但是在他那么多动听的歌儿里,我最喜欢的始终是这张专辑里的一首《伤心民权路 Tears on Min Chuan Road》,其中的副歌部分曾在某个广告里被引用:

    call you up on the phone 
      And tell you everything's all right 
      But if the truth be known  
      I don't think I can face this night 

      In the dark will you call my name 
      And pretend that it's just the same
      As before, when the falling rain 
      Would bring us closer in the night 

      Oh I wish that I could fly 
      On the wings of you-and-I 
      For I long to be with you 
      In this lonely hotel room 

      But the road has carried me
      Much too far across the sea
      And the tears fall down like rain
      On Min Chuan Road
     
      You call me up on the phone
      And tell me everything's all right
      But I can hear your pain 
      And that you want to give up the fight
     
      But be strong, I will call your name
      And pretend that it's just the same 
      And believe that this candle flame  
      Will bring us closer in the night

      Oh I wish that I could fly
      On the wings of you-and-I
      For I long to be with you
      In this lonely hotel room

      But the road has carried thee 

      Much too far across the sea
      And the tears fall down like rain
      On Min Chuan Road
