And I Love Her

這首歌出自The Beatles的A Hard Day's Night，這邊要分享的是Pat Metheny的版本，單純的Acoustic guitar翻作，收錄於What's It All About。這張專輯完全是以木吉他彈奏一些經典的流行曲目，爵士大師的技巧自然不在話下，但是在這裡完全聽不到誇張的炫技，只有雋永的樂音，聽一聽會不自覺的閉上眼睛。

And I Love Her是一首闡述愛情美好的歌曲，在空靈的木吉他聲和reverb搭配下，倒多了點愁緒，也不知道這是Pat Metheny的本意還是聽者有心罷了。The Beatles有非常多首的名曲被各樂風的佼佼者翻玩過，加上每次音樂雜誌訪問樂手的最愛專輯，披頭四也很少缺席，其重要性不言而喻。想要多了解流行音樂或熱門音樂，從披頭四開始下手是絕對不會錯的選擇。

最後放上原版，聽起來更溫暖些。

Pink Floyd - Time

渾渾噩噩度過一學期，考最後一科前的早上聽到這首歌特別有感覺。因為這首歌，讓我愛上Dark Side Of the Moon；讓我想買一把Fender Stratocaster和Fuzz效果器。Pink Floyd真的有種令人難以抵擋的魔力，如果是喜歡聽迷幻或前衛搖滾樂的人，在擁抱Radiohead或是Dream Theater的同時，請記得英國曾經出現過這麼一個傳奇樂團。


Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun


And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking

Racing around
To come up behind you again

The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older

Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can

When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell...
