Bohemian like you

昨天聽演奏會聽到一首老歌,叫做"Bohemian",馬上就讓我想到這首歌了 =P 這首歌我記得最早最早以前我剛聽到的時候,把它看成了"Behemoth like you"「如你一般的末日巨獸(或者貝希摩斯,如果你是個FF迷的話)」



原來某人體內的怪獸已經那麼大了(遠目)

我非常喜歡這首歌清淡平淡的味道。Why can't I just simply like you?





Bohemian like you
Dandy Warhols

You got a great car. 
Yeah, what's wrong with it today? 
I used to have one too, 
Maybe I'll come and have a look. 
I really love your hairdo, yeah. 
I'm glad you like mine too, 
See we're looking pretty cool. 
Getcha! 

So what do you do? 
Oh yeah, I wait tables too. 
No I haven't heard your band 
Cause you guys are pretty new. 
But if you dig on Vegan food. 
Well come over to my work 
I'll have them cook you something that you'll really love. 

Cause I like you, 
Yeah I like you. 
And I'm feeling so Bohemian like you, 
Yeah I like you, 
Yeah I like you, 
And I feel wahoo, wahoo, wahoo! 

Wait. Who's that guy just hanging at your pad? 
He's lookin' kinda bummed. 
Yeah you broke up that's too bad. 
I guess it's fair if he always pays the rent 
And he doesn't get all bent 
About sleepin' on the couch when I'm there. 

Cause I like you, 
Yeah I like you. 
And I'm feeling so Bohemian like you. 
Yeah I like you. 
Yeah I like you 
And I feel wahoo, wahoo, wahoo! 

I'm getting wise 
And I feel so bohemian like you. 
It's you that I want so please, 
Just a casual, casual easy thing. 
Is it? It is for me 

And I like you 
Yeah I like you 
And I like you, I like you, I like you, 
Yeah I like you. 
And I feel wahoo, wahoo, wahoo!

Epicurean


其實我對很多美食主義者有意見。或者說,自稱是美食主義者的人有意見。

我尤其難以理解為什麼某些自稱美食主義者的會說「因為吃過了XXX店的OOO,所以其他的OOO我再也難以下嚥了」,這種跟許多壓根不懂咖啡的人硬說「市面上大多數咖啡簡直是黑苦的液體,根本不能喝」在自稱是咖啡鑑賞大師的人一樣等級。

先不談這些老兄大姐到底懂不懂咖啡,舌頭夠不夠天賦靈敏。事實上,假設真的是一個好的美食主義者,擁有如此有天賦的味蕾,那為什麼僅能嚐得出別人的缺點,卻無法分辨出它口中「不入流的貨色」有哪些特點,有哪些是別人沒有的味道呢?我不否認,你要我說屎有什麼別人沒有的香氣,我真的說不出口,不過要是有人覺得世界上如此多的廚坊(請注意,還沒夠格到稱為廚房),都只能作出這些人口中的屎,只有最高級的米其林餐廳做出來的鵝肝醬,這些人才能描述他有多香氣澎湃多美味...

我覺得這些人還是不要自稱美食家比較好,這種人我一般稱之為滿口屎味。

咖啡也是。我曾經喝過初學者手沖出過熱焦氣滿口的單品,也喝過真正的高手火候十足,賽風下水剛剛好時間的醇品。每滴咖啡,都有一定的特殊香氣,都有其他人做不出來的神奇口感。

噢我還不敢自稱咖啡達人,只是味覺靈敏了點。

Epicurean還有一個意思,就是享樂主義者。有篇很有趣的文章,我曾經分享給大家過。看看,是不是跟美食主義果然是該共用同一個單字呢? :)

同學,你其實可以不用周遊世界

可以不用去追求別人描述的所有人性解脫,再回來說台北空氣多汙濁,生活多繁忙,多世俗。當連路邊小店的特殊風味都沒辦法品味,當連附近的小山小水都沒有仔細觀察,那,你有什麼自信那麼可以自稱一個Epicurean? 還是只是一種自以為Epicurean的自High以及自以為的超脫感?

Roxette - She doesn't live here anymore

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNcEQOVumYA


She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Lyrics:Per Gessle Music:Per Gessle&Mats M.P.Persson

We grew up together, we've been here forever.
Barefoot in the summer, cold in stormy weather.
She taught me all there is, like magic and love,
lots of forgotten words.

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it,
I'm sorry that's all.

She dressed just like a painter,
a female street Picasso and I,
I will remember the heaven in her laughter.

And the scent of her sweet perfume
when we made love under an August moon

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it,
I'm sorry that's all.

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore
She's gone since long, so long, she doesn't live here anymore.
She took off and left home, she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all.
That's all.









我們曾經在一起成長,我們曾經決定永遠在這裡

夏天赤腳踩在沙灘上,冬天擁抱在暴風雪中

她教會了我一切,如魔幻般的愛情,無法用言語表達的感覺
但是,她再也不在這裡了
她就這樣像是消失在大氣一班,再也不在這裡了
我覺得很抱歉,真的,我非常的遺憾

她曾經穿得像個油漆工,跟我像是街頭藝人般的手拉著手
我永遠會記得她有如天堂般的笑容
我似乎想起了她熟悉的香氣 想起了我們在八月的滿月下纏綿

但是,她再也不在這裡了
她就如同大氣一樣的消失了,再也不存在於這裡
我感到很抱歉,我真的很遺憾。

她再也不在這裡了
她如同熄滅的燭火一樣消失在這裡
她已經好久,好久,再也沒有回到這裡
她就這樣捲起了衣衫,如同出遠門一樣,離開了這裡
我對她很抱歉,我很遺憾,就這樣吧。
