To 認識與不認識的朋友:

這一帖沒多大深意.
只是我最愛的U2的一些好聽的歌曲及歌詞的彙整.

喜歡U2的朋友應該多少離我那個年代不是很遠吧.
那個從新保守主義崛起到蘇聯解體到911及波灣戰爭的年代.
那個從解嚴到SARS到民進黨執政到倒扁的年代.
在這裡, 你可以重拾那些或許有些遙遠, 但卻真切的記憶.

這年頭, 年輕人誰知道U2呢......
不用想太多, 就當作音樂聽聽吧~~

To H:

還記得這首令人驚豔的Bad嗎?
記得那個時候, 是妳幫我弄的Rattle & Hum的Videotape.
這是那時我迷失沮喪時必聽的一首.

Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of.
是我隻身赴美參加AHA時身邊帶的唯一一張CD.
這張後來也是U2Elevation巡迴演唱會的內容.
Elevation演唱會在911之後,
U2在台上唱New York時還滿場白幔, Bono還穿美國國旗裝.
911到波灣戰爭......那個瘋狂的年代呵......
還有SARS.
那是個生存頓時成為生活的重心的年代啊.

Walk On和Beautiful Day也是同期的作品.
Walk On簡短的呈現Elevation巡迴演唱會從搭台到散場的經過.
活像人生的縮影.
Beautiful Day是U2在都柏林開唱.
沒有預告的在屋頂上的街頭演唱.
自信心滿滿的小玩笑.

日子總得過下去.
偶而只和自己相處也不是壞事.

U2: Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...
To let it go! And so to fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah
And so fade away
To let it go, oh No
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping oh no no

U2: Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
Those tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh, love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious half asleep
The water was warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if, and if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment this time will pass

U2: Walk On

And love is not an easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Love is not an easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh, no
Be strong
Walk on
Walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom
Walk on
Walk on
What you got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Walk on
Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one
Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going
Home
That's where the heart is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
It's only time
All that I'm feeling on my mind
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress-up
All that you've seen
All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate...

U2: Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
[It] Was a beautiful day
