是溫度濕度陽光的角度或是空氣中的某一種氣味，觸發Brain Eno這首「By This River」在我腦中浮現，記得是多年前莫瑞提導演的「The Son's Room」的片尾曲，很喜歡這種緩緩的淡淡的彷彿時間快要停止的感覺......

老實說，從不特別熱愛Lou Reed或The Velvet Underground的音樂
總覺得他唱功似乎不怎麼樣，吉他也不特別厲害
但是不知不覺中，唱片卻買了不少
等我發現之時
他的音樂早已滲透到我心中
與最頹廢陰鬱的那一個角落緊緊糾結
每當挫折失意時
他的歌總在心中響起
但別搞錯了
Lou Reed可不是什麼療癒系
他的歌不會讓人豁然開朗
而是讓我在極度鬱悶的時候
還能試著慢慢喘氣
享受著瀕臨窒息前的變態的快感

昨天Lou Reed走了
一如聽他的歌時，並沒有太多激情
Perfect Day的旋律，卻在腦中揮之不去......

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Just a perfect day
drink sangria in the park
And then later when it gets dark
we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too
and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
you just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
you just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

好贴！多讨论音乐更好！

翻唱歌曲的首要前提，是音樂本身要有足夠的深度與能量，如此才能與不同樂手產生化學融合，碰撞出不同的火花！例如這首由荷蘭前衛金屬樂團Arabesque翻唱的Cross Town Traffic：
