《悲秋》

主唱：陳艾玲 由/詞：黃國倫 獨白：黃國倫

男白：我不知道，你是怎樣離去？ 是悲傷無奈還是哭泣？ 終於，我真的失去了你。 唉，該來的還是躲不及。

女白：你說分離，不需要原因。 一如相愛，沒有道理。 哼，我說你真的天真的可以呀！ 我們相愛，何需要分離？

女唱：我在過去中尋找你，我在未來中等待你。 但是現在你在那裡，你在那裡？ 我在記憶中尋找你，我在盼望中等待你。 告訴我你不會變心，不會離去。

男白：突然一切，都變得清晰。 迷夢一場，終於驚醒。 現在我才真正的知道。 唉，我是多麼愛妳！

合唱：我們的命運，早已註定。 你我都沒法抗拒。 就像美麗的故事，都是悲劇。 花好總須凋零。

女唱：我在過去中尋找你，我在未來中等待你。 但是現在你在那裡，你在那裡？ 我在記憶中尋找你，我在盼望中等待你。 告訴我你不會變心，不會離去。

陳艾玲的[悲秋]是她眾多歌曲中,給人們留下最深印象的歌曲,[秋天的童話]也是一張不朽之專輯,整體而論,作曲,填詞,編曲和演釋,均能達到靈,魂,體,一致的高水準,­能超越時間和空間送到你我心靈深處,為可會有這樣大的感染力?這因烏陳艾玲有著一個跟常人不一樣的經歷1980年9月陳艾玲和林育如一起考上了協和工商美工科為同班同學，­開始的時間,彼此還看對方不順眼，林育如的個性活潑開朗，陳艾玲則是內向、謹慎, 後來因同時加入了民謠社，天天一起練唱,最後成為了生死莫逆之交，開始了走進兩人的歌唱生命的一生。在高二、三時兩個人常代表學校去參加比賽，畢業後陳艾玲考進大學，林育­如在雜誌社從事美編工作，晚上二人在西餐廳演唱，林育如負責彈吉他，陳艾玲彈鍵盤，後來越唱越有興趣，陳艾玲最終放棄升學，林育如辭去白天工作,二人成為專職歌手。兩個人­的合作默契也越來越好。1984年6月參加中視六燈獎民歌彈唱，長達半年比賽，得到十八次衛冕成功，同時在西餐廳的演唱極受歡迎。因而在西餐廳演唱的連續長達到四年多之久­，與此同騎兩人都有些職業倦怠，正在此時,鄉城唱片公司找她們出專輯，並且以『芝麻龍眼』的名字在1988年1月版他們的第一張專輯「動不動就說愛我」，引來外間很大的迴­響。『芝麻龍眼』名字的由來則是有一次到公司時睡眼惺忪的陳艾玲眼睛和大眼睛的林育如有很強的對比，於是『芝麻龍眼』的暱稱就這樣叫開了。1988年11月再推出第二張專­輯「重新愛一次」，這一次她們發揮了美工的所長，參與了專輯的封面和內頁的計設。這張專輯同樣銷售不錯，於是唱片公司再接再勵於1989年1月推出第三張專輯「民歌往事」­，其中還特別收入了她們第一次合作的歌曲「想你」。1989年1月28日早上[芝麻龍眼]、 王默君 及宣傳人員 陳中 參加華視的春節特別節目「把愛還給大地慈善禮讚」義演活動，從台北搭機飛往高雄小港機場，出機場時搭乘由孫姓司機駕駛的計程車前往國賓飯店，沿路司機一路飆車，並跨越雙黃­線，在行經中山四路200巷口時，與左轉的 貨櫃車相撞，當場造成坐在後座右方的[王默君]當場死亡，坐在中間的龍眼[林育如]腦部嚴重傷昏迷，而前座的陳中則鎖骨斷裂。經緊急送醫後，與死神搏鬥昏迷14天的龍眼[­林育如]，於2月11日下午1點15分逝世於高雄醫學院附設醫院，享年只有25歲，而讓歌迷留下無限的遺憾。 1990年7月沉寂了一年半之久，慢慢走出傷痛 陳艾玲, 推出了個人專輯「一個人唱歌的時候」，其中特別收錄了龍眼的兩首歌詞。而後又出了「心夢淚痕」、「民歌小唱」等專輯，其間並與吳宗憲在禮拜日下午主持一個綜藝節目[五光十­色]。而後在鄉城唱片結束時，加入異果音樂公司，其間推出了「秋天的故事」、「紅顏花蝶戀」、[紅薔薇]專輯，現在陳艾玲已經完全退居幕後工作。陳艾玲現職於台灣環球唱片­國語部製作經理

天梯 The Ladder of Love

四十年代重慶真人真事六歲的時候他認識了比他大十歲的她。 縱使受盡白眼和閒言閒語，在十六歲那一年他跟她說：「讓我照顧你一生一世好嗎？」 為了避開俗世，他們遠離塵世到深山定居，過著艱苦但快樂的生活。 上山下山步步艱難，為了怕妻子受傷，他決定用雙手開墾石級。 結果用了五十多年的時間，鑿了一條六千多級的石梯。 終於在02 年一隊登山隊發現了這條偉大的天梯和這個驚世的愛情故事。 故事主人翁劉國江先生在07 年與世長辭，她的妻子決定留在深山，終生與天梯廝守。 謹把此曲獻給建造這偉大的愛情天梯的劉國江先生。


A real story in the 40s in China - a 6 years old boy met his signature half who was 10 years older than him. Although there were so many rejecting voices and unfriendly looks, the boy told his girl friend when he was 16, "Let me take care of you for the rest of your life. Would you give me your hands?" She was just become a widow at that time. They went to the mountain and built up their own home there. Climbing up and down the mountain was pretty hard. To avoid his wife having accident, the man started to build a stone ladder with his bare hands. A ladder with more than 6000 steps was completed in 50 years. This ladder was discovered by a group of mountain climbers in 2002 and their story was then known. The man died in 2007 and his wife decided to stay in the mountain where their home was and where the old man was buried. This man was named Kwok-Kwong Lau and his wife was Chiu-Ching Chui. This song was written based on this great love story.

「天空の城ラピュタ」 君をのせて／井上あずみ

Laputa's theme song sung by Inoue Azumi, the best voice to present this song. It really makes the movie perfect with this as the theme song.

地海戰記女主角唱歌

It is not a successful animation movie. The story is so confusing and not consistent. I cannot really understand what it wants to explain. However, this song is really a well-sung one. The voice of the singer is just perfect to present the song.

世界的约定哈爾的移動城堡

哈爾的移動城堡是宮崎駿的作品中浪漫的一部, 主題曲世界的約定,一貫的好聽柔美,配合優美的畫面,叫人聽了心醉~

Howl's Moving Castle is one of the nice work of Hayao Miyazaki. It's a story about how a child grows up. Howl although is a grown up man, his heart is just a little child seeking for love and security. After he met Sophie that he finally find love and learnt to care.

宮崎駿-幽靈公主

米良美一 是男的... 雖然矮矮的,長的不好看,但是歌聲卻是一流,上天賦予他無懈可擊的歌喉真是用對地方~
這樣優美的歌聲,正好配合電影"幽靈公主"的氣氛


Such a beautiful voice! Can you believe that it is a male voice? He is short, no nice face but a beautiful voice.
It's the theme song of Hayao Miyazaki's animation movie "Princess Mononoke".

The Music of the Night - Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman

Lyrics:
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes i write
For I compose the music of the night
(music)

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing
Music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candle light
Dare you trust the music of the night..
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend..
That the truth is what it ought to be...

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night


Close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes and let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me


Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night


You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Madonna - Evita - 06 Another Suitcase in Another Hall (1996)

[Eva:]
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do

[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now.

[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?

[Huevo:]
Don't ask anymore.

Madonna - Evita - 08 I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You (1996)

[Eva:] Colonel Peron
[Peron:] Eva Duarte

[Eva and Peron:]
I've heard so much about you

[Eva and Peron:]
I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress (a soldier)
Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)
Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves)

[Eva:]
But when you act, the things you do affect us all

[Peron:]
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?

[Eva:]
Yes, oh yes

[Peron:]
So am I, what a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight

[Eva:]
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand, I'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be, good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

[Peron:]
Please go on, you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too

[Eva:]
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

Madonna - Evita - 17 You Must Love Me (1996)

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me
You must love me

You must love me

Madonna - Evita - 11 Don't Cry for Me Argentina (1996)

It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much ?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that ev'ry word is true


I'm not a big fan of Madonna but she really played good in Evita and I think that she deserved a Oscar award. It's just politics and conservatism that took her little gold man away. This is a very good song and Madonna did a nice job to present her emotion well.
