這個周末去了在伯斯有名的酒莊聖地Swan Valley的The Vine Resort & Golf Club享用愜意的下午茶,本來天氣很糟的,但是已經訂位了,山羊如石頭的我還是堅持要去。
路上就是One Republic 的Good life這首歌陪伴,喜歡這種輕搖滾的風格,青春洋溢著、囂張、給你無比勇氣的歌詞。(英文部分是真正的歌詞。)
車子順暢的奔馳在小都會的鄉村道路,陽光穿越厚厚的雲層,在雲上鑲上銀色外框,雖然刺眼但是還是警告著我們隨時都會飄下大雨的可能,但是我們不怕,因為醒過來的每一天都是不可思議的美好。
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
每天都在認識新的朋友,不太熟識的、只知道名字的、點頭之交的、越來越好的、在電話號碼的清單中站個位置,但是有的卻從來沒有撥打過。日復一日,白天到夜晚,夜晚充滿了不可思議的經歷,這一切都是因為我們太年輕。
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
我跟我的好友們相隔八千萬里,一個在波士頓,一個在台灣,一個遠在智利,一個在芝加哥,一個或許也要啟程到美國的某個城市,但是他們不知道我在這裡看著過去的照片總是屏息不讓自己笑出來,一般般的人生列車把我們帶到未知的地方,有時我逼不得以得受困在擁擠不通的某一站,看著別人優雅的穿越,有時候光勉堂皇的狗屁道理發揮不瞭作用,但是這每一天都是上帝給我的故事,告訴我這還有甚麼可以好抱怨的?
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about
這一切都是美好的,也一直都是美好的酸甜苦辣,我們談著未來吃著甜點,人來來往往也沒辦法干擾我們的笑聲。
今天我們真的好開心啊,即使這下午茶不像台北101那樣的貴婦,不像我們期待的那樣華麗,可是我們還是快樂的像個笨蛋一樣,當有些事情一直對抗我們,我們得學會讓不幸進入我們的生活。
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
有時候人生的窗口被釘上了死路一條,好像無助的黑暗是我們唯一的擁抱,但是只要我們還立足在這一點,一切就有希望。回家路上路上充滿各種寒冷冬天的顏色的葡萄園,你特定開過遠路因為你知道我喜歡兜風,你熟知伯斯每條路,總是那麼堅定與自信的握著方向盤。
以前在墨爾本我們窮的買不起的美麗馬克杯,如今我們可以一口氣買下五個,這樣的大步前進還有甚麼惋惜?這一定會是個美好的人生,不管在哪裡,有你的陪伴多苦多艱難都是美好的人生。我想接受你的承諾,我想要相信有一天我們可以手牽手一起逛逛紐約的第五大道、巴黎充滿骯髒狗屎味的左岸與香榭大道、希臘的藍色愛情海、或是一直醒目地膩在台灣夜晚熱鬧的夜市裡。
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
這是美好的一個周末,我已經覺得未來每一天都會像現在這樣,除了快樂,我們之間還會有甚麼?
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
