2006/4/20 找不到服务器"When I'm Gone"
[Introduction] Yeah... It's my life... My own words I guess... [Verse 1] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your heart And you know you were their armour And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you? What happens when you become the main source of her pain? "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane "Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?" I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 2] I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?" Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying "You always say that, you always say this is the last time "But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it "Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'" I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on And I'm singing... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 3] Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow and thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin' "You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad' "That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin "I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going" But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice "Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin' It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister Almost as if to say.. [Chorus/Outro] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back...

逛书店看到一本1000张唱片封面的书。
从60‘s - 90's，遥远年代封面的POSE。
时代痕迹太重了，一本很棒的书！ 2006/4/17 [转]一个写的很棒的CRASH 影评
2006/4/16 电影散场，静静生活 在得悉李安导演的力作BBM奥斯卡遭遇撞车，与最佳影片失之交臂的消息后，我萌生了看这部CRASH的念头。因为即便我无法体会BBM中同志间的边缘爱情，但不得不坦白频频感动于这份简单爱的纯净与真挚。我猜想，一举夺魁的CRASH，又会是怎样的一部影片？
CRASH的故事发生在L.A.（洛杉机），一个多文化多民族而由此产生多冲突的现代化大都市。从表面看，电影讲述了一起再普通不过的汽车追尾事件。导演用倒叙的手法将撞车牵连和铺垫的前因后果展现了一遍。电影的逻辑性特别强，人物关系缜密，情节设计得丝丝入扣。很像早前看过的21 GRAM和THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT，即从表面看似毫无牵连的人和物，实则之间密切联系着。我不尽感叹！We Live in A Beautiful World.
电影中的两个高频关键词：F**k + Racial Discrimination，影射着我们的现实生活。在L.A.是针对各色人等的歧视，到了中国，到了上海一样的歧视不过因为我们的肤色相同进而转向以‘方言’划分着等级。而诸如F**k的词汇也因英语教育未受普及而自治施展着地方特色，这个实在是屡见不鲜。
电影的中文译名有两个版本：撞车、冲撞。我心里面一直嘀咕着的另一个名字是：寻找出气筒... ...呵呵，差不多这个意思的一些名字。电影中的角色无一幸免地受了委屈心里堵的慌再将这份恶气传播给下一位无辜者。一波又一波，大家寻找着出气筒。这是个充满吵架声的电影，天知道看着电影的我都想站起身来走出门去寻衅挑事了。哈哈，这个是乱讲的。
说回来电影，主角们所受的委屈是谁给予的？我的回答是：Itself. 他们本身。就拿两个从咖啡厅走出来的黑人小混混来说。因为他们并不喜欢喝的咖啡，因为他们并不会付小费而没有热情待客的黑人服务生，因为太多莫须有压根不能成立的理由，或者说因为他们本身头脑中根深蒂固活该被歧视的怪异思想而迫使他们去猜测，揣摩迎面走来的白人，还荒唐地劫车。God！因为我在看电影，我看到了整个过程，可在实际生活中，很难为情地坦言自己也有过同类愚蠢的念头和行为！应了那句老话：世上本无事，庸人自扰之。恩，以此论证，我哈戆！！！
如果说那两个小黑人是荒唐可笑的，那么那个白人警察是****。（真想爆粗口 -_#）父亲因为尿道感染痛不欲生，自己心情不好撒气在一对无辜的黑人夫妇身上。真替那对黑人夫妇感到伤心难过，本来一件高兴的事被打扰已经够扫兴的了，还受到侮辱。Damn It！导演的寓意是让我们知道这个世界很多事情的发生是没道理可循的，你觉得什么都没有做错。可是就是让你承受了！这一课是承受力训练吧！我相信大气的人是受委屈长大的。：S
有一个人物是在看电影中颠覆最初感觉的。那个初入警界的TOMMY，他是个非常正直的小子。目睹同伴不敢苟同的行为要求换搭档。那位上司给他讲了一段对我同样很有教育意义的中肯的话。第一次让我感受到电影并不纯粹追求艺术而如此贴进生活的现实意义。颠覆的是最后这个正直的人误杀了无辜的黑人。以自己的判断采取行动产生的恶果，Really A Harsh Warning！！！
另一个我不得不说的主角是那个锁匠。无疑，他是我最喜欢的人物了。虽然他长得一点不帅，但是我真的很欣赏他。他是整个剧中唯一受尽了委屈没有转移发泄到别人身上的人。换做是我一定沉不住气的。在简小姐家装锁，被侮辱，忍住没有发作。替波斯人换锁，本着善意提醒店主换门被反将一军再次受羞辱。疲惫不堪的回家还沉着气给小女儿编童话。也许正因如此，导演才让小女儿救了他一命。呵呵，我也想要那件无法穿透的CLOKE。
这个电影的主角太多了，每一段小故事都精彩纷呈。随着情节的跌宕起伏，鸡皮疙瘩冷汗轮番侵袭着我。回顾影片，我诧异有种族歧视的白人警官钻进四轮朝天随时爆炸的汽车发现他要搭救的是前天受他侮辱的黑人妻子。不知是编剧的淘气还是老天的造物弄人。我看到失去弟弟的黑人警司眼里噙着泪光走出医院，很想对伤心的妈妈说她错怪人了。冰箱里的东西是这个儿子买的。到影片的最后小混混把货车里的亚洲人载到唐人街，跟着他坐回车上一起扬着嘴角傻笑。眼见固执的波斯老头扳动手枪射向小仙女平安无事时，我长长抒了一口气。... ... 这个电影真的... ...
我终于明白为什么Crash会赢过BBM。我也从电影中收获了不少只能意会的Something。
想说，BBM是一幅美丽的风景画，而Crash是一本圣经。
我感觉受了一次洗礼， 一次爱的教育。Little Angle said Daddy， I'll Protect You.
I'll Protect You. 2006/4/15 Have A Nice Day！  现在是四月十五日的零点四十五分。刚刚看完奥斯卡最佳影片的《撞车》（Crash）。很想马上写下观后感，没有人强迫是主动萌发的念头。不过，现在脑袋好沉重。所以还是在被窝里好好回味一遍，沉淀后再写。也许会忘记些情节，那么明天或者改天再看一遍好了。换了背景音乐，影片的最后两首歌。不多说了，思绪翻涌。这个片子让我想到《21克》和《蝴蝶效应》。其他的，还是留待明后天的日志写吧！真是一部好片。
HAVE A NICE DAY！其实，看电影前我是想写下不愉快的事情。因为今天是4.14，感觉怪怪的。因为今天也撞车了，还留了纪念。但是看完电影很释然，觉得今天很棒。如果没有自己傻不拉几撞上人家没有关掉的叉头门，我就想不起来回来看电影。就不会现在很累心情还不错的在电脑前码字。何况，今天还有画家作画给我看，还有和人吐槽，与人分享心事... ... 这仿佛也是‘蝴蝶效应’，一串大闸蟹串出来。
看到家妹的留言了，呵呵，我不删了。快乐是自找的。我在电影里寻觅到了。每个人的情况各不相同。希望你也会有一天，对于烦恼有自发的免疫力。而快乐像是空气，深深呼吸就能获得。哈皮~~
Medtate on Crash!!!!!
Wonderful Day~~~ ~~~
La La La ~~~~~
大腿上的乌青就当是快乐日的首日戳咯~~ 哈哈

 2006/4/13 宁可信其有的消息今天开始收MAIL。看到这个，不管怎样，宁可信其有。大家小心一点。
大约三个星期前，我在加油站加油。那时大概是晚上十一点半左右；有一部车朝我接近，车内有两男两女。 Bear A Charmed LifeBear A Charmed Life 就是受神灵保佑，被庇护的意思。这里庇念：Bi第四声。
具体的释义可以见词源字典。
我被冤枉了。被一般人冤枉我是很开心的。据说星期二出生的孩子充满喜乐的。
我喜欢幸灾乐祸地喜乐。很奇怪的心理。很Enjoy，Really。。。
可是一旦是我在乎的人冤枉我就难受极了。尤其是我的出发点是好的时候。
我也不想撒气在别的无辜者身上。因为的确我做的不够聪明。我应该自己去说的。
我也的确是强迫了她去对她说的。所以她很生气，尽管她错怪我的好意。
也就这里罗嗦一下。反正人们只相信他们愿意相信的部分。
我就在自己的自留地里说废话。这里的领空也属于我。哼... ...
天气变化极快。骤冷。我昨天还穿着短袖来着。今天已经不行了。
直哆嗦，一起床就换了厚的毛衣。原本要洗的厚外套又利用上了。
以后，冬天的衣服一定要囤积到五一劳动节 的时候洗。
一来就这个节劳动一下。二来么，老天觉得耍着性子还蛮帅的。
天倒是不下雨了，彩虹没有出现。听听CD里的彩虹天堂吧！
今天，妈妈值班。上个礼拜是爸爸陪她。这礼拜我主动去作伴。
一直是妈妈来看外婆，即便我和燕子去玩，妈妈也下班回家了。
清明回家拿衣服和碟和‘饼机’。因为迷信，很早就回来了。
妈妈很可爱的说我嫌弃她，不想见她所以饭也不吃就走了。
其实是我怕鬼，是的，我很怕。可是那天我很想见到一个鬼。
朋友问想不想回到过去。我不假思索地摇头。
因为回不去啊，何必让自己难受呢？再说那时的美好是傻乐。
不像现在是真的珍惜的美好。还是现在的光景好啊。
可就那天，我突然好想回去。好想回到‘她’还在的过去。
竭力不去回忆，竭力对伤心的她不屑一顾嚷嚷不许哭。
自个儿却看着照片鼻子就酸了。
回来路上问妈妈自己事后才知道的一些故事。
就想，真不容易。
I KNOW I BEAR A CHARMED LIFE
我知道我做的每一件事，你都在天上看着呢！
要不然，为什么每次我刚想抱怨就没什么事了。
每次还没开始掉眼泪就过去了。
哎。。可是你能不能让她知道我真的什么都没说呢？
我真受不了被她误会。我都没有错，却一个尽认着错。
>_<
刘耕宏，恩，就是那张宝贝CD。
我不喜欢和朋友假客气，所以，就此不谢。
其他的宝贝就不秀了。藏的好好的。
自私地占有着。不与人分享。哈~ 2006/4/12 雨雨天，下大雨，雷阵雨，大暴雨。
像那天那么大的雨么？
怎么那么会挑日子？为什么每次见面都是呼风唤雨的日子？
Cancel掉吧~~
雨天，第二次询问尊姓大名。哈~
为什么我会觉得应该姓祝福的‘祝’？
某人也是猪脑子，还假装记得，还假装我没有记错。
切~~~~~~~~~
昨天收到应当明天收到的。
宝贝CD宝贝杂志。
喜悦提前一天生效。
还想采购一大摞
要贩卖么？我想都没想过。
为什么喜欢？肌肉男？大眼睛？
不是啊，中邪吧！厄... ...
CD听了一遍，除了主打的都很一般。
就是说歌也唱得JUST SO SO
THEN WHY OH WHY？

21：26 - 07：30，跟猪一样睡着
我的脑袋是秤砣。
我担心回不了家，害怕在路上就晕倒。
‘你今天怎么一点不HIGH？那么安静’
‘... Zzzzzz... Zzzzz...’
好梦！ 2006/4/11 Cheer 老师如果你已经在天空之上，为什么要限制自己呢？
前天饭局上问罐罐有没有青的消息。
真失败，一个懒人，一个胆小鬼。做朋友到这个份上。
是冤家，不是嘛。不能想念的，隔天就狭路相逢。
我挂着mp3踩啊踩着脚踏车，她优栽优栽地走着。
就碰到了。好哈皮！
煲电话粥，和盘托出心事，真怕在电话里爆出另一个声音：
噶晚还不睡觉，成仙啦？。。。。
怕归怕，接着聊。
爽爽，像那年的爽爽冰，呵呵
可惜秘密暴露了。切，真... ...
认清事实，还是主动认错吧。
80%完美的日子，心满意足。
小小棘手的问题，略微头大。
打电话请教妈妈，发消息骚扰死党。
卡卡，我也是这么认为的。
So... ...
等后天吧，后天就能收到了
好期待... ...
CHEER 老师，被越来越多人认识喜欢，我怀念那个顶着蘑菇头的她。那个陈老师。

Tori Amos ※ desert garden ※ Barons of Suburbia / General Joy / The Beekeeper ※ rock garden ※ Hoochie Woman / Cars and Guitars / Witness ※ roses and thorns ※ Sleeps with Butterflies / Marys of the Sea / Jamaica Inn ※ the greenhouse ※ Goodbye Pisces / Ireland / The Power of Orange Knickers / Parasol ※ the orchard ※ Mother Revolution / Ribbons Undone / Original Sinsualith / Garlands ※ elixirs and herbs ※ Toast / Martha's Foolish Ginger / Sweet the Sting
After Scarlet's Walk, Tori Amos' 2002 ambitious sonic travelogue that took her to all 50 states, penning love letters to America along the way, the fiery earth-sprite has fashioned another high-minded concept album, tying her 19 songs--and one not-so-hidden track--into a garden motif that's part a retelling of Alice In Wonderland, another A Little Shop of Horrors. The Beekeeper chronicles her rather autobiographical protagonist's journey through what seems to be an overgrown labyrinth of the subconscious as she experiences a series of life-altering events and emotions. In addition, living in Cornwall for the past decade has certainly had an effect on Amos, she even takes inspiration from Daphne Du Maurier's classic novel Jamaica Inn, which takes place on that rugged seacoast, but the greatest change is the grit in her voice; on a song like "Hoochie Woman," she sounds like she's channeling Chrissie Hynde--a welcome change from some of the preciousness of her earlier work. She also surprises with the steely, eloquent resolve on a song like "Goodbye Pisces" one of the better break-up songs in recent memory. The Beekeeper returns the quirky singer to the same whimsical terrain of 1992's Little Earthquakes, but with much stronger storylines, and a much more assured and nuanced voice. Her best yet.---Jaan Uhelszki CD: Disc 1
01. Parasol (3:55) ★★★☆☆
 "I saw a painting by Seurat - Seated Woman With A Parasol - in a book on Impressionism. I was drawn to it and I started to think about Victorian women and then some women today, the type of women who don't want to intimidate their partner and so allow themselves to become reduced so the other person can feel confident."
-- Tori; Tori Amos: Piece by Piece I: Men are often described negatively in your stories. Is there no divineness in them?
TORI: I think the man is as divine as the woman. But I can only go from my own perspective and own experiences. The masculine divineness is pretty ok. Like in the song 'Parasol'. Here a woman has to fight for her way of life. And it's not about a war against terrorists, but a war against a friend, a lover, or a colleague. He doesn't want to respect the choices she makes, the evolution she goes through or the freedom she seeks. He wants to attack her on every level and tries to put her down. This is the problem she has to deal with. -- Tori; OOR Magazine (Dutch), Mar 2005 02. Sweet the Sting (4:14) ★★★☆☆
"Elixirs and Herbs is a place that the passion that this woman has for her beliefs or the man that she loves, for the direction that humanity is going, is very much where she is exploring and allowing herself not only to heal what are wounds, but to allow her wounds to express themselves and this doesn't always have to be a place of victimization this sometimes is a place of being able to confront something that is out of balance and it is an ancient practice that the Bee shaman have been working with for thousands of years they work with a tradition that forces you to look at those places that may need to be stung and there's a song on this record in the Herbs and Elixirs garden called Sweet The Sting and in order for you or I to gain the sweetness, wisdom does not come without the sting."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 03. The Power of Orange Knickers (3:35) ★★★☆☆
"There is a song called The Power of Orange Knickers that really kind of explores the idea of the word 'terrorist'. So I put on a pair of orange knickers one morning and I decided if I am going to stalk the idea of a terrorist without having an idea of what one was then I am going to need my orange knickers. And as I started to walk over to the piano I started to think about words that rhymed with 'terrorist' and the song kept drawing me in, and drawing me in deeper and deeper and deeper and it said yes it is easy to see the enemy if it is in another country. It's easy to see the enemy in another culture. Find the enemy in your own culture. Then find the enemy in your own being. And she's there. We all have this part of ourselves that will choose to obliterate an idea instead of negotiating with it, because it takes great skill to negotiate with ideas, it doesn't take a lot of skill to obliterate, unfortunately. It doesn't sound like this one the record, but just alone here with us the essence is (plays orange knickers). ..and it goes on and I began to understand how the opposites, if they don't have understanding and a respect for one another, and hold it into balance, then the whole thing begins to bring chaos."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 04. Jamaica Inn (4:02) ★★★★☆
"There's a song Jamaica Inn that I wrote as I was driving along the cliffs in Cornwall on a 'beautiful' English day. And all of a sudden the gales started to come in. My mind started to wander and I pulled over on a cliff. I started to think about the story that I'd been told by some of the locals. When a ship would run a ground the wreckers would come in and take everything. I started to think about this story that was taking over my car in that moment. Jamaica Inn walked into my Saab and she said, 'You might not like my story because I'm not gonna tell you how it ends yet. You need to travel it with me and we're going to have to explore your deepest fears.' What always stops me is betrayal. And what scares me is if I betray someone."
-- Tori; Diary Entry @ Toriamos.com Diary Entry:
Jamaica Inn Autumn Equinox: September 22, 2004. Light and Dark = Equal parts. We move into a state of perfect balance today. As much Light As much Dark The house is buzzing. A new cycle is in motion and we have chosen to move with it. Dunc will be lighting the candles for tonight. The house will be alight waving to the beautiful darkness outside. Animal totems will be chosen for the season - until Winter Solstice. We will have the carved animal totem representations made by artist from all over the South West. Once chosen, we reference the animal wisdom from the book, Animal Speak, by Ted Andrews or the Animal Medicine cards by Jamie Sams. Mabon. Today. The witches day of giving thanks. The harvest that has come in. Whatever that is. Gathering in and getting rid of that which will not serve me in the coming months. Donating items that have served their purpose and can serve another purpose for someone else now. Natashya is donating her bottles to a baby yet to be born… Her bottles have been around the world with her. It was a constant and now she seems ready to let them serve and comfort a “ twinkle in the sky “ that is about to be born. Tash believes, at this time, that children are first “twinkles in the sky“ before they are born. She also has believed that when “you“ die you then become a “twinkle in the sky.” So tonight as Dunc is preparing mulled wine for those in the house and those visiting, Tash will be preparing warm soy milk in a teapot with all kinds of different tea cups to choose from. Very’ Alice in Wonderland’ - and why not… The Gales are blowing outside with an eerie howl. Mark and Marcel are getting “Jamaica Inn“ up on the board. This is the sort of day that inspired the creating of that song - from the writing, to the tracking with Matt and Jon to the backgrounds which will be put down within a few hours. Mac Aladdin will then add some Mandys. What our leading female character has to confront is harrowing in a sense… It has been months since I wrote the above thoughts. It is now the week of the Chinese New Year - Year of the Rooster. But Mardi Gras day and Pancake day, Shrove Tuesday, arrive where I sit first, signalling the observation of Lent. It’s been almost a year now since I got caught in the gale storm somewhere in North Cornwall and Jamaica Inn came down and sat next to me in the passenger seat of my Saab." 05. Barons of Suburbia (5:02) ★★★☆☆
"Barons of Suburbia is taking on the behavior of the Barons, that they've taken on the patriarchy and their ideology. Whether you're looking at certain governments or certain relationships, we go back to the personal and the political always."
06. Sleeps with Butterflies (3:35) ★★★★★
07. General Joy (4:12) ★★☆☆☆
"The Desert Garden is very much about the crossroads. It's a place where you must make choices, grave choices. This is where are garden of sensuality differs from the Garden of Eden because in a place where the creator is the feminine scribe telling the story, the bard, in our book of genesis, in our 'In the beginning' we as women were encouraged to eat from the tree of knowledge because that is how we could help our pride and our tribe and if we don't then will would be subservient and unequal to the male and therefore cannot help him and cannot serve the pride. As a songwriter and someone who chronicles time, um, I have to feel the pulse of what is current. I was able to include General Joy on the record because I wrote it, um, in July 2004 and recorded it and it was relevant then and it is relevant again now. We are still at war, as of this taping and General Joy is very much a current figure. Or not because there are not a lot of Generals that we would call General Joy and that is the point. General Joy has lost his boys and they have been left behind, he needs a solder girl now that liberty has been gagged."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 08. Mother Revolution (3:58) ★★☆☆☆
"Mother Revolution is core. Because the album centers very much around this idea that in order for there to be a continuance of life for the next generation, and the next generation, and the next generation the songs began to speak about if the masses didn't choose to listen to the needs of the next generation then the mothers would need to make a choice which was were the mothers ok about sending their sons off to a war that they may not believe in and I began to understand an internal revolution that is more powerful than thousands of solders, that there is an artillery of the soul and a resolve that I have seen in a concerned mother. The masters have spoken about the complexity of the hives that love living in the orchards I was drawn to it mainly because of the vine and the fruit and the transformation of life. Becoming a mother has brought me my greatest teacher. She is four and we're in communication, we're in harmony, we're in a balance of mother and daughter not me as the authority or her as the precocious child who is totally in control, which is true sometimes, but when we're in balance, we are sharing this dance this sonic dance that the songs have been trying to show me since I was little, but she through her, her music is beginning to show me. And that lives in The Orchard along with the Tree of Knowledge."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD I’ve thought about this a lot since I had my daughter and what I find really disturbing about this global war, is you don’t see any of the world leaders sending their children to be butchered. It’s always someone else’s children, someone else’s blood. In Mother Revolution the woman realises she cannot fight the patriarchy in the way that they fight and she can’t just turn her back either. In order to be effective she has to come up with a new solution. And sometimes the best solution isn’t to throw a bomb at a balloon, it's to pop the balloon with a kitty heel!"
-- Tori; Uncut.com, Mar 2005 09. Ribbons Undone (4:30) ★★★★☆
"Ribbons Undone is a song that really I guess explains a mother's love, and a fathers love for their daughter. They see their little girl running in the field with their ribbons flying and they're like little flashes of lightning that go by especially when you are in the back field her and you can run and run and run and run and catch butterflies thinking that you can fly like one.
I was watching Tash run and I started to remember something my mother said to me, she told me years ago. We would look in a mirror and she said 'this woman that I see that you see, this old woman, wrinkled woman, is a stranger to me.' I said 'You are the most beautiful woman I know' and she said that's, don't get distracted by what I am telling you. She said 'That is a stranger to me. Inside I'm running. Inside my legs can carry me. I don't have a heart condition I'm not someone who is in a wheelchair. I am someone who catches the butterflies in my minds eye.' And when I watched my daughter running, I saw my mother. And I began to understand that this case is a distraction sometimes and it tricks us because it can start making us believe that we are old of sprit, not just that the violin case is beat up, but you can begin to believe that the violin has no music to play anymore and that is where you have to go to the tree of knowledge and I tasted my mothers wisdom looking in that mirror. And I see her running now. And my mother will always be running, next to Tash, together hand in hand, and Ribbons Undone is something that I can see myself running along side them." -- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD I: Ribbons Undone was obviously inspired by your daughter. Did having a child change your music? TORI: It's hard to put my finger on it. I think that there is a playfulness that has emerged since I became a mom. I love being a woman and I must say I've never loved being a woman as much as I do now. I'm 41, and I'm loving it. Being a mom healed a lot of wounds. Natashya kicked a lot of demons away when she came out. Kids are able to strike where no-one else can, with the things they say, but they are also able to mend and heal where no-one else can. 10. Cars and Guitars (3:44) ★★★★★
Do you ever screaming in a car just having an argument, reliving an argument? Why didn't I say that? Why is he so stupid? Why can't he understand …mrrrph! And you go, 'What is it going to take, what language is it going to take for us to communicate on this issue?' So I decided what is the language that this guy understands. So I became a car….one with a stick. That he can put his hands on, and maneuver, and he can polish my rims, and he can step inside me and feel himself become manly, and have a conversation with this car and then I decided that I could also become a guitar. And he could pick me up and play me. And I could listen to what he is trying to say. And if I could just change my shape we could maybe get through this because it never was the cars and guitars that came between us."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 11. Witness (6:03) ★★★☆☆ "I don't necessarily see it as barren, The Rock Garden, and I think the songs, um, take us into a place that I certainly didn't expect. There are little surprises that I find all the time. There is a song called Witness, the gospel choir is on that, and we go back to the Gnostic Gospels and the text talking about being a witness and did you witness Christ teaching. And I started to think about judge and jury and I started to think about crimes against humanity, against each other, stripping it away to a very personal place of crime and the gospel choir becomes very much the jury."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 12. Original Sinsuality (2:02) ★★★☆☆
"The Beekeeper really explores the story from the creative mother's perspective, because we know from the bible the creative father's perspective and in this garden we do not call this the "Garden of Original Sin" we call this "The Garden of Original Sinsuality" you will see when you open up the album, The Beekeeper, which songs live in which gardens and you can take a journey with them. They are their own Garden of Eden, they are their own shape. It is a sonic shape so it is not a physical space. This is a place where male or female can enter its, um, not just emotions of a woman. We all experience disappointment and we all experience transformation and we all experience passion, even if it is not passion for another human being but passion is an essence in itself."
-- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD I: It’s interesting you've written a song about sin and sensuality when the biggest moral debates in the US are about abortion and gay rights...
TORI: America is such a land of extremes. On the one hand, you have this puritanical ideology that lots of people have adopted and on the other you have a huge porn industry that exploits everybody and makes lots of money. The thing that’s missing from both is sensuality and I think that’s the sign of a damaged society. It’s not healthy for sex and sexuality to always be portrayed as dirty or depraved and what it takes to turn people on sometimes shocks me. There are a lot of damaged women out there who can’t respond unless they take on another character because they haven’t been taught they can just be a worker bee. I’m a worker bee and I love being a worker bee. 13. Ireland (3:47) ★★★★☆
I like my Saab.
I like Ireland. We were gathering there for a few weeks in the summer. Strange occurrences happen there. Maybe because the veils are thin. I look up on the hills that surround me and I am mesmerized. All the hassles of daily life freeze their chattering head (aches) as I sit. Drawn into a different kind of drumming that I, strangely enough, can hear. It is faint. But it is hypnotising. I look up and You could say someone has taken a paint brush so that I can barely make out the contour of bodies, the etching of a hero's physique. A hero from Munster being welcomed back in this tribal ceremony---- where beauties of all shapes and sizes sway to the drumming that has now joined with a haunting sound. Distant chanting that is warming the fires. I am not warm or cold. A bard by the fire regales the feats of the last many, many days. He is there. I breathe him in. The festivities of the Tuatha De Danann go into the night. Through the open windows of my room, I can look out on these hills. Sometimes they are quiet and simply act as a blanket for the house and for anyone who comes here to rest, or to write. Ellie smiles as Dunc puts the kettle on. Fresh herbs from the garden mingle, making conversation in porcelain. I leave Ellie and Dunc and a Pomerol Chateau Moulinet in the Kitchen. The stairs carry me back to my open window. I curl up in my duvet and am rocked to the place where our senses are awake. I dream myself awake. The bard reaches for the elements. From ether, From fire. He seduces me with his story. The Tuatha De Danann break camp at dawn. I write this as another promo day begins in the land of Runes and of longboats - longboats that long ago made the Emerald Isle their destination. I don't have a longboat but I do have a Saab. -- Tori; Diary Entry @ Toriamos.com 14. The Beekeeper (6:49) ★★★☆☆
"The Beekeeper is based on this woman who eats from the Tree of Knowledge" explains Amos. "She's all women - 'Woman.' Sophia, who was the Mother of God in the Old Testament, advises her that if she's eats from the Tree, she'll attain wisdom and open her life to new emotions and experiences, the songs captures her journey from passion to enlightenment."
-- Tori; Diva Magazine (UK), Mar 2005 "All these soldiers in Iraq are sons of mothers. These mothers get told that their sons have to sacrifice their life for our Christian beliefs, for peace, and only after making this sacrifice you live like a real Christian. Just like God sacrified his only son for the sins of humans. I think God and Jesus feel betrayed by these sort of quotes. Mary, Magdalene, and Mother Earth try to contact us women... 'We need you!' My character in the song The Beekeeper tries to contact 'Sofia', mother of God, and asks her how she can change the world. Sofia tells her that Eve asked her the same question in the past, and tells her to do the thing she is prohibited to do by her son, and that's to eat from the forbidden fruit. 'Only then will you see how I look at the world and humanity.' And so it goes that every song on the album is a forbidden fruit in each garden." -- Tori; OOR Magazine (Dutch), Mar 2005 15. Martha's Foolish Ginger (4:21) ★★☆☆☆
"I've got one song I've just finished which only had a title - Martha's Foolish Ginger - and a chorus: If those harbour lights had just been half a mile inland who knows what I would have done. I've actually been working on this song for eight years but couldn't figure out how to finish it. Then I suddenly realised the title was the name of her boat. And with that it was liberated, unlocked and everything came clear."
-- Tori; Word Magazine (UK), Feb 2005 16. Hoochie Woman (2:34) ★★☆☆☆
17. Goodbye Pisces (3:36) ★★☆☆☆
18. Marys of The Sea (5:08) ★★☆☆☆
"When you speak of Roses and Thorns, the paradox within one beautiful flower. The marriage of a male and female the crown of thorns with Jesus and Mary Magdalene being known as the rose I thought that all of us at some time in our live experience a sacred marriage of sorts. I truly wanted there to be, in the garden, a place for union.
In all of us there is a love. In all of us there is another piece, a mirror piece. Yes within, of course you have to fine your own twin flame within your being, but there is someone, and someone it is more than one person that you go into sacred marriage with and I explore it in different songs on this record especially Marys of the Sea. Which is about her journey out of Jerusalem and fleeing and once she gets to the south of France she takes on a ministry herself. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is something that I had herd about but hadn't read until I was much older. My mother, a minister's wife read it for the first time very recently and she looked up with tears streaming down her face and she took my hands in hers, and her name is Mary, and she said "Darling. Why? Oh Why? Has this been kept from me my whole life I'm not someone who isn't exposed to literature particularly Christian literature, my mother was a literature major and she said yet this is something that has not been available" then I said "Well I think that is the key question. Why two thousand years later would the Gospel of Mary Magdalene be hidden from the masses. Now to me that is the greatest story never told and I explore this greatest story never told in Marys of the Sea. -- Tori; The Beekeeper Limited Edition Bonus DVD 19. Toast (3:40) ★★★★☆

I AM： Jackie's Strength
 2006/4/5 好听的歌：起初只是朋友我们都很喜欢的歌：起初只是朋友。所以贴了
 这些日子华语新生代有两个不错的声音，一个是音色与DAVID如出一辙的TANK，另一个就是这首歌的演绎者：龚诗嘉。嗓音音色近似于孙燕姿，唱腔与蔡健雅相似。诗嘉是JS与阿桑的师妹，华研本年度热推的新人。唱片公司相继效仿新人推广手法，沾光新法。周董光芒万丈，罩着兄弟刘耕宏不忘提携师妹蔡诗云。当年海蝶推小公主金莎也是跟在小师兄林俊杰身后。
非常好听的歌。打了一通‘投诉’电话，气消了一半。虽然我知道我也是病急乱投医。
可爱的外婆也要抢电话帮我出气。
我还是觉得周六碰面时惩罚比较解恨！！！让大家都评评礼！！！什么警察！！！
电影以很快进方式看完了，想着我们肆无忌惮饭桌上聊的话题。
言词闪烁，仿佛自己怎样怎样。看罢电影觉得还是有点... ...呵呵。
TAKE GOOD REST。
今天继续学习了很多篇有用的BLOG。
择日贴之，非常有用，共勉。
纪念日漫无目的百度搜歌。只想换歌，换哪首呢？心里没底。
什么歌可以形容这一天发生的事，呵呵，My Lucky Day？
杂乱无章。THE UNEXPECTS
非常丰富的一天，听我娓娓道来。
前奏是天气，平常不过的话题。听说今天会下雨，会下大雨，很大的雨，暴雨，下猫下狗的那种。
虔诚如教徒等待，一直等一直等。
下楼寄快件，闷热得想逃开。分明是黄梅天，HOU SI。教徒开始祷告。
下班时分，老天传来简讯收到Me的祷告：窗子变身为镜子。
暗想不妙，赶快撤，最快的时间撤。终究来不及。
倾盆的，滂沱的，诺大的雨滴往路人的脑袋上砸，一砸一个准儿。
我怕鞋子会湿，向便利店索取两个袋子。
拉不下脸直接要，也正好需要，买了两瓶饮料。
本用来防雨的袋子，最后成了盛水的容器。
鞋子泡在袋子里，彻底地湿了。
心一横，全当是吞了曼妥斯。
假想穿的是拖鞋，催眠自己忘却脚上的加湿器。
重头戏上演了。择日不如撞日， 反正一直想买鞋的。
仓促地解决完任务，幕布拉开，主角出现了。
如果我们没有坚持要打110，如果我们没有一人拉住一个嫌疑犯。
就... ...
说实话，我没想过还能找到丢失的。不，还能抢回来。
太气人了。Damn 这个民族！！！！！
我也没瞧见手机是从什么地方给掏出来的。
HOU SI 的天，HOU SI的心情。
谢谢文旦同学会议中被我一个电话调下来撑腰。
说到底，我还是怕xx人围攻的，换了吃饭的地点。
在此还要特别感谢110的警察叔叔，感谢那么迅速的行动力。
锻炼了我们的应变能力，我是真的不知道可以说什么了。
嫌疑犯不情愿扔出手机了，那个抱小孩的女人一问三不知地想脱身，
围观的叔叔阿姨识时务劝我们想开放走他们算了，这个时候110的叔叔们始终没有出现。
我们很乖地又打个电话，请叔叔们不用抽空搭理我们了。
我们这么做其实是以防反过来被将一军，诬赖我们扰乱社会治安，正常办公。
那时，可是真的吃不了兜着走了！
我无比失望
天很有同情心。
杀根的哭了一把。
无奈的我在路上又被浇灌了一次。
现在，顶着湿漉漉的头发，厚重的眼皮，想哭没有哭的理由。想笑，更无从谈起。
见过人走运的么？没见过我们那么走运的吧？
听歌，看碟，任风吹干头发。
明天，我要放假，时刻准备着，感冒咳嗽的造访！！！！！ 2006/4/4 [学习]德国人的严谨上海地铁二号线和一号线的差距 有一次，与从德国回来的一位“海龟”朋友聊天时，我自然问起了他留德的感受，并问他对德人印象最深的是什么。他说：就是德人的严谨，德国人对任何工作细节的关注。他说了令我吃惊的一件事：现在德国的高速公路有的还是希特勒时代修筑的。 ○三级台阶的作用 ○对出口转弯的作用没有理解 ○一条装饰线让顾客更安全 ○不同的站台宽度给人的舒适度不同 ○为什么省掉站台门？ （摘自网络） 2006/4/3 Ridiculous今天我又看了一遍李安导演的《理智与情感》，荒谬的联想到一件完全不搭界的事情。
现在仔细回想，似乎和理性和感性又沾染上丁点联系。
在路上的时候，我突然想：
Where is he/she going?
Will you hear him/her crying at night?
One day, when you got another one, will you remember the first?
I don't know why i could ralated the things i thought to the movie i saw today.
Neither i plan to persuade someone but to be persuaded at the end.
So Ridiculous. Fun!
Another Happy Moment:让人高兴的事儿
A lady talked to me and appreciated my sth
'It Looks So Beautiful'
I replyed her a big big smile. 'yeah, i love it as soon as i saw it.'
'I noticed it some minutes ago.'
HA!
' and I Guess sb love it so much.'
HA HA HA HA HA... ...
GOD BLESS U, My Funny Lady!
 近期最登峰造极的Ridiculous事件当属‘花儿’抄袭事件，本来这也无可厚非。
有意思的是他们在歌中唱到‘吃了我的给我吐出来，拿了我的给我送回来’ Bla Bla Bla...

Early 1999, two friends (Gustavo and Sineval) in love with Sarah and Creation Records, tired of having nothing to do in their small town, decided to form a band.
A few months later, another friend, Nico, joined the group playing keyboards and guitars. On a cloudy Sunday they chose the bands name: Pale Sunday. Fabricio, who was starting to work in music production, invited the band to record a song under his production. Pale Sunday released (only in Brazil) the tape single Dreamscape (Amy Records) including the songs A star will shine and Rainy day. 2000 was a year of changes, Nico left the group. Gustavo and Sineval were studying and working all the time so that they couldn't dedicate themselves to the band, and the band was put on hold. In 2001, they regained momentum, composing new songs. Everything starts when you smile and Go ahead were then recorded in Fabricio's home studio and both songs got some excellent reviews after being presented to Indiepop lovers in Brazil. Some months later, in 2002, Pale Sunday completed what would be the band first EP with two other pop hits: the romantic ballad 'Today' and the catchy The girl with sunny smile. This 4 song EP, named 'Everything starts when you smile', was published in a totally independent way and used as a 'promo work'. Pale Sunday's year 2002 had not finished yet! In October, Jimmy Tassos (Matinee Recordings) listened to Everything starts when you smile EP and offered the band the wonderful opportunity of releasing their songs on his own label. In late April of 2003, 'A weekend with Jane', Pale Sunday's debut on Matinee, was out. The tracklist included 3 songs from that independent disc plus the new EP title track. As you may think, Pale Sunday is "officially" a trio again, Fabricio is the "new" member. About Album
Strong debut album from popular Brazilian indiepop band Pale Sunday. The trio turned heads with its 2003 single ‘A Weekend With Jane’ earning acclaim from international music press and comparisons to indie legends Another Sunny Day and Razorcuts plus contemporary bands Brideshead and Aerospace. Since then, the band has contributed covers of Smiths and Sportique songs to Matinée compilations ‘Romantic and Square is Hip and Aware’ and ‘Matinée 50’ while writing and recording the ten new songs for this album. ‘Summertime?’ has all the essential POP! ingredients…jangling guitars, addictive choruses, tambourines, trumpets, handclaps, sha-la-la's and perfect melodies. Sometimes the guitars get fuzzy in classic shoegaze fashion but in the end the bright shimmering pop songs and spirit of ‘86 take over. The band wears 80s British pop influences on its sleeves but somehow manages to sound completely modern with some of the catchiest songs of the year. In addition to nine English language hits the album features one song in the band’s native Portuguese, which of course is the most beautiful language in the world. Bacana! 2006/3/28 方枪枪小朋友 因为王朔的同名小说《看上去很美》，因为张元导演挑选的这个大头小可爱，遂一听闻电影在上海上映，便迫不及待直冲电影院过瘾。看原作时候心中的N个问号期望能在影片中解答。比如，为什么叫《看上去很美》？仅是看上去美实际不美么？又比如方枪枪这样聪明伶俐的小孩子照理应该很讨阿姨老师欢喜的怎么和事实不符？... ... 未料，看完电影问题没有解决，又翻腾出N多新困惑。
王朔书里的方枪枪是个小人精，对于接收的信息常常有不同于其他小朋友的反应。起码是个爱动脑筋的小朋友，凡事爱琢磨，很有哲学家科学家的潜质。而且具备丰富的想象力和灵活的应变能力。讲故事讲不下去啦，还能像摸像样编到小朋友听不出一点破绽居然还敬佩崇拜起来。敢于挑战权威、眼光独特，同样是读西游记，谁能读出孙猴子被如来佛一伙耍着玩油然生出同情。足智多谋，这一点糖包的批评语不知是贬低还是拐弯表扬，毕竟狗头军师不是随随便便的小角色就能扣上的，何况一个四五岁的毛头小子。
我实在喜欢这个古灵精怪的方枪枪。喜欢他扑闪扑闪大智若愚的眼神，喜欢他有尿就撒的敢作敢为，喜欢他安抚南燕送自己都没得的小红花的细致贴心，更喜欢他联合小朋友铲除妖怪的足智多谋。可惜的是，他没有得到理解也就算了，还尽遭人诬赖。孤独，冷漠，欺辱轮番轰炸着这个尚穿着开裆裤的小朋友。大鸭梨难道打针的时候不拖裤子么？平白无辜地就破坏了方枪枪与北燕之间的友谊。那些脏话一个四岁的小家伙能明白什么呀，一味的恐吓压制真能教育到孩子么？当方枪枪傻呵呵去询问北燕为何冲自己笑，北燕的回话令我傻眼。‘我还冲狗笑呢’ 感叹，一个学龄前儿童怎么就那么势利？笑笑怎么了？错了么？无语... ... 好在我们的方枪枪百折不挠，转身就忘事，多好的孩子啊！！！
电影的结尾有点意外，或者说意尤未尽。我继续看书的下半部，看这个可爱的小孩子上学后的有趣故事。呃... 如果有一天我做了幼稚园老师遇见这样的调皮小捣蛋，窃喜之余一定跟着KUSO到底。让他放一百二十个心，没事半夜整个尾巴在小床前晃悠，让他坚信我就是妖怪，请他一定保守秘密，不然等着我阿乌一口吃掉你，HIAHIA~
