Die Hard 4.0（在米國叫做Live Free or Die Hard）中，John McClane開車帶駭客Matt Farrell去找FBI的途中，被死小孩Farrell嫌棄到不行的那首歌，就是Creedence Clearwater Revival的越戰國歌"Fortunate Son"。
本來很害怕這部片的意境 -- you know，太老大哥意識形態 -- 會讓我在戲院裡坐立難安。沒想到竟然比Transformers來得政治正確多了。
Woke up cold one tuesday,
i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
so i quickly opened the wardrobe,
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
that were ripped around the seams,
and i thought these shoes just don't suit me.
CHORUS:
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
and suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
it so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
but long on time,
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and i'm running late,
and i don't need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Woke up late one thursday,
and i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes,
and i felt like there were two days missing,
as i focused on the time,
[New Shoes Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]
and i made my way to the kitchen,
but i had to stop from the shock of what i found,
a room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
and i thought hello new shoes,
byebye them blues.
CHORUS
Take me wondering through these streets,
where bright lights and angels meet,
stone to stone they take me on,
im walking to the break of dawn. (x2)
幾個月前本來想寫點關於Bloc Party "I Still Remember"這首歌的文字 -- 但，忙就忘了。
直到今天早上，想起昨天提及的<<�野戀>>，又把A Weekend in the City這張專輯翻出來聽。
應該有些人曉得，我很不欣賞Bloc Party的首張專輯Silent Alarm。不過這張A Weekend in the City在今年上半年，算是我常翻出來聽的CD（我所謂的「常」，意思是拆封後第一次放進唱機聽過，沒在一個月後成為整疊CD最下面墊底的那幾張），也讓我對Bloc Party另眼相看，原來他們也是有細緻的一面 -- 欸，就別跟慘情掛的比了，縱然"You should have asked me for it / I would have been brave"這樣的歌詞白到不行，但心意堪稱感人。
Bloc Party, "I Still Remember"
I, I still remember
How you looked
That afternoon
There was only you
You said it was just like a full moon
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers they almost touched
You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Now every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I'd have gone wherever you wanted
And on that teacher's training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm
And I could feel our days where becoming night
I could feel your heart beating across the grass
We should have run, I would go with you anywhere
I should have kissed you by the water
I still remember
真不知該說他是勇敢還是怯懦？這首"I Still Remember"讓大家看到Kele Okereke內心娘炮的那一面。
其實我對專輯中"Kreuzberg"這首曲子更有感觸。
Bloc Party, "Kreuzberg"
There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like this city I will never be joined
What is this love? Why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out? In those strangers bedrooms
I have decided at 25
That something must change
Saturday night, in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the east side gallery
I was sure that id found love with this one lying with me
Crying again in the hauptbahnof
I have decided at 25
That something must change
After sex the bitter taste
Been fooled again, the search continues
Concerned mothers of the west,
Teach your sons, how to truly love.
