Red Queen Theory

今晚去祇園去有治屋買吸油面紙，在逛寺町通的時候看見這間三嶋亭，想說正好想吃吃看高級和牛的燒肉，又之前在ｔａｂｅｌｏｇ上看到評價不錯(http://r.tabelog.com/kyoto/rstdtl/26000646/)，就進去了。

為了拜見被稱作淨土在塵世的極致表現之地的平等院，從京都搭車來到宇治。從京都駅搭乘 JR 奈良線，運氣好搭上快速區間車的話，十數分鐘即可抵達。

宇治，是紫式部的故鄉，是 > 的舞台，為最高級的煎茶之產地，是擁有兩樣世界遺產 - 平等院和宇治上神社 - 的都市。而這多種景色溫和的融合為一: 在通往平等院的表參道上，有著大大小小的茶屋；而橫越了有千年歷史的宇治橋，走過供養十二支菩薩的放生院，在古老的上神社旁，一條幽靜翠綠的小徑，就通往光源氏的文物館。

在箱根的三河屋旅館過了一夜，早上起來當然又再去泡了一次溫泉。

來日本當然一定要泡溫泉啊! 在東京附近的話，立刻就會想到箱根!　聽老媽說我們小時候來日本的時候 "好像" 也有來箱根泡湯，不過以她超人的健忘性，當然是不記得是不是箱根...

這是走到腿斷的一天...嗯，其實還好啦。

嘿嘿~到東京啦!

剛剛去歌舞伎町那邊吃"すずや"。

我想 Phantom Of The Opera 毫無疑問的,會是 Andrew Lloyd Webber 的傳世作吧! 為了 Sarah Brightman 的聲音量身打造的 Christine, 以及我覺得永遠最棒的 Michael Crawford 的 Phantom, 是我國中時唯二的偶像 XD 歌劇魅影的歌, 我們全家都是倒背如流啊~可惜我覺得 Webber 越老越糊塗, 歌劇搬上大銀幕那個卡司...唉...不喜歡啦 >///

CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL: (這段略過...)
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE
Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have decisions, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!

P.S. 這個錄音是"吃飽版"...另外還有"吃飽前版", 聲音就比較虛, 哈哈哈~

You Raise Me Up 的原作曲者為 Secret Garden，收錄於 Once In A Red Moon 專輯中，後由 Josh Groban 一唱而為天下知。Josh 的版本的歌詞比原曲少一段。

"Our Solemn Hour" 原唱 Within Temptation 收錄於 "The Heart of Everything" 專輯中, 背景音樂所收錄之人聲為邱吉爾於二戰間的廣播

Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus!

In my darkest hours I could not foresee
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can´t believe my eyes
How can you be so blind?
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven´t learned
So in the end now what have we gained?

Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?

Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?
Didn´t we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can´t restrain the beast which dwells inside
it will find it´s way somehow, somewhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be in vain

Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?

"Sway" 是從一首拉丁歌 "Quién Será" 改編而來的, 最初由 Dean Martin 唱紅. 近年的爵士新貴 Michael Buble 跟辣妹扭動團 Pussycat Dolls 也有唱. 這個伴奏是 Michael Buble 的版本, 感覺上 salsa 的味道就比 Dean Martin 的要重很多.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
