2014年9月18日是蘇格蘭是否獨立公投的日字，剛巧在看兩出與蘇格蘭有關的劇集。

Both Sides Now-Clouds

Ground Floor

推介一出 TBS 全新處境喜劇 Ground Floor，它有一個貼合故事內容的中譯名「愛情零距離」。看的時候，發覺劇中某些人物與及情節竟與我那段不因歲月而淡忘的記憶重疊了。似曾相識的一些人和事，愈看愈有共鳴，愈看愈有親切感。一集只廿多分鐘，豐富的笑料，充滿愛意的劇情，不經不覺第一季共十集全看畢，會否開拍第二季 TBS還在考慮中。
***好消息，TBS宣佈第二季共十集將於2014年底前播出。

Down by the Salley Gardens

夜靜，
聆聽著一首愛爾蘭樂曲
"Down by the Salley Gardens"，
輕靈舒緩的哨笛聲，飄蕩在初春清冷的夜裡。
優美的旋律，純淨得如水一般，滌蕩著浮躁的心靈。
靈動而飄渺，清心而美好。

Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson - Remember When (2003)
~ from The Greatest Hits, Volume Two

Remember When
I Was Young And So Were You
And Time Stood Still
And Love Was All We Knew
You Were The First, So Was I
We Made Love And Then You Cried
Remember When?

Remember When
We Vowed The Vows, And Walked The Walk
Gave Our Hearts, Made The Start, And It Was Hard
We Lived And Learned, Life Threw Curves
There Was Joy, There Was Hurt
Remember When?

Remember When
Old Ones Died And New Were Born
And Life Was Changed, Disassembled, Rearranged
We Came Together, Fell Apart
And Broke Each Others Hearts
Remember When?

Remember When
The Sound Of Little Feet,
Was The Music We Danced To Week To Week
Brought Back The Love, We Found Trust
Vowed We Never Give It Up
Remember When?

Remember When Thirty Seemed So Old
Now Lookin’ Back, Its Just A Steppin’ Stone
To Where We Are, Where We’ve Been
Said We Do It All Again
Remember When?

Remember When We Said When We Turn Gray
When The Children Grow Up And Move Away
We Won’t Be Sad, We’ll Be Glad
For All The Life We’ve Had
And We’ll Remember When.

Remember When?…
Remember When?…

The First Snowfall-Bing Crosby

Oh the first snowfall of the winter Was a day that we all waited for When it drifted to and fro   Why you should've seen the snow It was near seven feet or more By the old barn door Oh the first snowfall of the winter What a joy for a boy to behold In each house you'll find a sleigh   That was waiting for this day And of course, down the road a hill For each Jack and Jill Every winter breeze that scurries Sends the snowflakes up in flurries It's the good old sentimental season when   Folks put runners on their surreys They forget about their worries And a man becomes a boy once again   Oh, the first snowfall of the winter Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear Under wintry skies of gray It was snowing hard all the day And it showed no signs of stoppin' Every kid with eyes a-poppin' Knew he'd soon be belly-whoppin' on his ear On the first snowfall of the winter Oh, that first snowfall of the year On the first snowfall of the winter Oh, that first snowfall of the year (The first snowfall of the year) Oh, that first snowfall of the year white snow on black hair . . . . Say "cheese" . . . . .

Forever

Forever ~ Stratovarius I stand alone in the darkness The winter of my life came so fast Memories go back to childhood to days I still recall Oh how happy I was then ? There was no sorrow there was no pain Walking through the green fields Sunshine in my eyes I’m still there everywhere I’m the dust in the wind I’m the star in the northern sky I never stayed anywhere I’m the wind in the trees Would you wait for me forever? Would you wait for me forever? Will you wait for me forever? 獨自佇立在黑暗之中，驚覺生命的寒冬來得如此之快。 思緒飛回到童年的時光，每個情景至今仍然難以忘懷。 那時的我，是多麼的快樂啊，沒有悲傷，沒有痛苦。 穿行于綠色的田野間，看進我眼眸裡的，都是陽光遍灑。 我是風中的一粒塵埃，我是北方天際的一顆星。 那些歲月雖然早已離我很遠，但… 我的心還一直停留在那裡，從不會在哪處逗留。 我是穿越在林間的輕風，期待某天能飄回到記憶中的原野。 你會永遠等著我嗎？會等著我嗎？會嗎？

The Brothers Four-Try to Remember

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green And grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender And callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow

Try to remember When life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember the kind of September
When love was an ember About to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow, follow

Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know The snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
Without the hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September That made us mellow
Deep in December Our hearts should remember
then follow, follow, follow

Reflections of my Life

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes.
The grieving of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes.

Just a Sunday in Cardiff Bay

Bobby Vinton - Blue Velvet

最近在電視上看到一個時裝品牌的廣告，唱盤轉出一支很熟識的歌曲。那個版本、及那廣告，同樣嚇人。務求令觀眾留下印象，也是方法之一。

大多人以為 Blue Velvet是 Bobby Vinton 原唱的，其實原唱者是 Tony Bennett (1951)，但當其時沒太多人注意，直到 1962年 Bobby Vinton 把這歌曲翻唱而令此曲大熱起來。
 

他還在密蘇里州經營了一間 the Bobby Vinton Blue Velvet Theatre 直至 2002年。

晚霞 ~ Tomorrow

夕陽西下，


天空像一幅抽象而流動的水彩畫。

日出 ~ In the morning

【Morning Has broken】


Oh, morning in all your bright glory
You've chased all the darkness away
And dewdrops are glistening in sunlight
You've opened the gates to a new day

Helmut Lotti-The Crooners

Helmut Lotti 在 2006 年發行了一套專輯 The Crooners，共兩片CD: 分別是 The American Way 和 My Way。The Crooners 是泛指那些擁有金嗓子的男歌手，以一種低吟的方式、像在耳邊哼唱著的情歌。這張專輯不僅顯露出 Helmut 天賦的嗓音、了得的唱功、更展示了他是一位多才多藝的音樂創作者。
