We run like a river

（By New Radicals）


　　近日實在是十分忙碌，雜事以及正事一件接著一件而來，
然而我卻反而因此不知道該怎麼安排。不知道什麼時候開始，
做事的效率越來越差。作息又開始不正常了起來…週末應該是
個好時間，但是看來怠慢又想玩樂的想法反而浪費了時間（通
常會想：「我已經忙了五天了，週末一定要好好地放鬆休息。
」）即使放鬆反而使我感到無聊…

　　不知怎麼的，昨日突然拿了 New Radicals 的 CD 播放來
聽。一直非常納悶怎麼好聽的音樂，怎麼會只出一張專輯就沒
了下文呢？心血來潮查詢了一下資料：（偷懶直接節錄）
AMG:
　　" The New Radicals are the creation of singer / producer
/ songwriter Gregg Alexander................Alexander did all of the
producing and arranging and most of the songwriting on the
promising album ..................he disbanded the New Radicals
to focus on production work. "

Last.Fm:
　　" The New Radicals were an American rock band in the
late 1990s, centered around front man Gregg Alexander, who
wrote and produced all of their songs and was the sole constant
member. Tired of touring and promotional interviews, Alexander
disbanded the group in mid 1999, before the release of their
second single, " Someday We'll Know ", to focus on writing
and producing songs for other artists. "

　　我突然對 Gregg Alexander 產生一些崇拜感，在我心中可
以說是個傳奇。要說New Radicals是個樂團也有些牽強，我反
倒覺得說是一人樂團比較恰當，出一張專輯便解散的作風也十
分地有個性啊！

　　我想這張專輯最有名的一首曲子就是 " You Get What You
Give " 吧，好像是當初電影「冒牌老爹」的主題曲之一。但是
我最喜愛的歌曲反而是 " I Don't Wanna Die Anymore " 以及 "
I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away the Ending "。我非常喜歡他的
嗓音，也是有些隨意的，懶散的，也帶著些像 Arcade Fire 一
樣神經質的特性（尤其是在 "I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away the
Ending" 裡，最後幾句好像失控的吶喊XD。）整張專輯幾乎每
首都是好歌，很少有專輯讓我有這樣的感覺。1997年發行的專
輯，想想竟然已是十年前的事了。那時我國二吧。

　　這幾天發現 google 提供的網路空間有流量上限（其實先
前就知道了，但是以往幾乎沒超過流量…不知最近是怎麼了，
連續好多天都沒法連結上試聽的音樂。）於是昨天改了個空間
，算是來分擔流量。然後計數器把當初無名小站的人氣加了上
去，哈（虛榮 = =）

Two months of fun
Two years of pain
Add it up
And get a life of rain
Need to scream
But too ashamed

It's gonna rain it's gonna rain
You wanna go you wanna stay you wanna
You really blew my world
I wanna live and there's only one way

I don't wanna die anymore
I want to live it up
I don' t wan't this high anymore
But i can't give it up
I won't live a lie anymore
I need to give you up
Won't you save me

Two months of sun
A life of rain
Add it up
I'm on my own again
Need to scream
I'm so filled with rage

It's gonna rain it's gonna rain
You wanna go You wanna stay you wanna
You really screwd my world
I gotta live but you stand in the way

I don't wanna die anymore
I want to live it up
I don't wan't this high anymore
But i can't give it up
I won't live a lie anymore
I need to give you up

And "OH OH BABY" did you think that i was strong?
Well "OH OH BABY" can't ya see that you were wrong
"OH OH HONEY" did you think that i was strong?

(repeat)
