Music And Lyrics

剛過完情人節的下午，整個人啥事也不想做慵懶地躺在沙發上，看著HBO應景地重播著我認為2007年最佳適合小倆口去看的電影，『Music & Lyrics』(K歌情人)。裡面有一段台詞很有意思，就在Sophie和Alex熬夜編曲與創作歌詞後，Sophie在一家早餐店裡談起了自己的傷心往事，這時Alex鼓勵她用填詞來證明自己不是前任男友書中所寫的悲慘的女主角，但Sophie頗不以為然地認為他前男友會多重視所謂的Pop Music，Alex回答說:

Oh, no, of course not.
Pop is just for morons. Forgot that.
I didn't mean anything by it. Brain-dead, or taken too many drugs.

You know what I'd say to you and Sloan Cates?
You can take all the novels in the world and not one of them will make you feel as good as fast.

That is real poetry. Those are real poets.

之後 Alex and Sophie 寫了一首很美的詩，Way back into Love.



I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
Ooo hooow

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something from my soul somewhere!

I've been looking for someone to she'd some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I wanna do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

Guys, Happy Valentine's Day.
