跟大家分享我在這一期 PPAPER BUSINESS專欄裡的『家庭作業 』:
兩個小小的簡單快樂
1. 聽一首老歌:年輕的心 “Young at Heart” by Frank Sinatra
請先閱讀歌詞之後再聽歌。
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it’s way
Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it’s much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
2.再介紹一首最近在美國很受歡迎的一首歌:
“Somebody that I used to know” by Gotye
這首歌也引起很多人「cover」(新字新用法:用自己的方式,唱同樣的歌)
同樣的,請先閱讀歌詞:
Now and then I think of when we were together,
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die,
Told myself that you were right for me,
But felt so lonely in your company,
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember.
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness,
Like resignation to the end,
Always the end,
So when we found that we could not make sense,
Well you said that we would still be friends,
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over.
But you didn’t have to cut me off,
Make out like it never happened,
And that now we’re nothing,
And I don’t even need your love,
But you treat me like a stranger,
And that feels so rough,
No you didn’t have to stoop so low,
Have your friends collect your records,
And then change your number,
I guess that I don’t need that though,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…
But you didn’t have to cut me off,
Make out like it never happened,
And that now were nothing,
And I don’t even need your love,
But you treat me like a stranger,
And that feels so rough.
No you didn’t have to stoop so low,
Have your friends collect your records,
And then change your number,
I guess that I don’t need that though,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
Somebody,
I used to know,
Somebody,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
Somebody,
I used to know,
Somebody,
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know,
I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody
