明日話今天

偶然间听到了这首广东歌，觉得很有意思也很好听。就在网上搜索，才知道愿唱者是曾慶瑜，可惜她唱不紅這首歌。而香港歌手甄妮(生于一九五三年二月二十日)在七十年代尾期把這首歌曲给唱紅了。

不知道是不是人到了一定的年龄就特别怀旧，喜欢歌词里概叹日子的流逝，事物的变迁，应该要懂得把握当下，面对目前，珍惜今天。有种历尽沧桑而劝人不要自艾自叹而带有励志的意识。真是百听不厌。

好听的歌曲，永远都让人有刻骨铭心的效能 。。。

                

明日話今天 - 甄妮

无论有几多变迁 何必诸多挂牵

过了今天 再有一天 仲有几个十年

愿望系做个预算 梦话系自我去编

无谓去搵个道理把你欺骗

* 命里系注定从前 梦境系一片糊言

唯有我永远去面对目前 明日话今天

昨天亦提到 想到旧年 更多挑战

迎面有几多变迁 谁知道边一个先

这里高山 那里沧海 在那天变良田

实在系话变就变 预伏在乐趣前面

前面有干变万化 不会睇见

The Rose

While searching for the song, The Rose by Bette Midler in the website and found that it is a soundtrack of a movie film with the same title. An American musical drama film directed by Mark Rydell and was released on November 9, 1979.

JANIS JOPLIN

The film tells the story of a self-destructive 1960s rock star, modeled after the late Janis Joplin (January 19, 1943 - October 4, 1970) who was known as "The Queen of Rock and Roll" as well as "The Queen of Psychedelic Soul".

Bette Midler stars as Mary Rose Foster in this somber drama who plays an ill-fated singer who struggles to cope with the constant pressures or rather succumbs to the pressures of her career and the demands of her ruthless British manager,Campbell Rudge (Alan Bates) by indulging in drugs and alcohol. Her sweetheart Huston Dyer (Frederic Forrest) is the former chauffeur who naively tries to save her from self destruction, while her British manager is ultimately blamed for not preventing her inevitable fall. Her rock and roll lifestyle of drugs, sex, and rock and roll and constant touring lead her to an inevitable breakdown. 

On October 4, 1970, she was found dead at the age of twenty-seven and the official cause of her death was an overdose of heroin. The story mirrors any one of a number of popular singers who have fallen victim to the excess of success.

THE ROSE - Bette Midler

Some say love it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger

An endless aching need

I say love it is a flower

And you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed

That with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose

Just The Way You Are

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

Don't Cry For Me, Argentina

DON'T CRY FOR ME, ARGENTINA - Jane Zhang

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Loving You

LOVING YOU - Jane Zhang

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all i wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is out of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old

And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin' you

Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh
I'm more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do
