[聽聽音樂] je t'aime... moi non plus * 補

Serge Gainsbourg、Procol Harum跟Annie Lennox，經常都是週末夜的必備曲，1967年是個好年份啊。

這張照片已經說明一切，Serge Gainsbourg這個老先生實在很讚，把音樂運用自如當成個人表述的最佳工具，希望我也有這樣一種運用工具的超能力，然後那些背後小人就知道好看了！除了je t'aime... moi non plus (en duo avec Jane Birkin)這首歌之外，當然還有不能也不會遺漏的Initials B.B，整個風格誇張又俗又激昂又有力的華麗編曲，配合MV的風格，真是直接了當的法版 [男性的復仇] 啊！Youtube的je t'aime... moi non plus只有照片音樂版，好生失望。倒是找到了Initials B.B的這個版本，很華麗而且很動感的情傷復仇啊，浪蕩性格的壞男孩果真不可欺啊！



je t'aime... moi non plus / Serge Gainsbourg Brigitte Bardot



有另一個版本在youtube上，但不能嵌入，所以用這個版本代替，我喜歡另一個版本的畫面。

je t'aime... moi non plus / en duo avec Jane Birkin



je t'aime... moi non plus / Allen Delon and Brigitte Bardot



I love you (me neither) - Cat Power / Karen Elson



*不知這是否A所提到的版本？


跟Serge Gainsbourg的je t'aime... moi non plus一樣，A whiter shade of pale也是一整個軟調溫柔的粉玫瑰昏闇色系，Procol Harum和Annie Lennox兩個人唱的版本不同，我都有而且也都喜愛，週末深夜總是屬於[ The New York Stories ] 那種Woody Allen式很老派又很戲謔仿諷的漫漫長夜。
這是Youtube找到的，我很喜歡那個片頭開始的畫面，一直當作串場，還有那些現場的真人跳舞人偶。



至於Serge Gainsbourg的歌詞，因為是法文，基本上我是0分等級，尚未入門，找到了我也看不懂，所以就正大光明不找了。
至於A whiter shade of pale，歌詞如下。

A whiter shade of pale

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed
