The Power of Goodbye

前言:我想我應該去挑戰每天一首推薦單曲的夏日傳說。

今天要來講的是Madonna。其實也不太需要贅言,我想我爸媽都聽過Madonna這名字。很令人佩服的就是,不管過多少年,她永遠有辦法引領風潮。老東西到她手上變復古,冷僻東西到她手上變新潮,就算有人不喜歡她,但她還是令她們佩服。

我國中的時候,就聽著"Bedtime Stories"錄音帶唸書,A面聽完換B面,B面聽完就切到A面去聽,聽到帶子都快壞掉了,Take a bow可是那時候的超暢銷單曲,但那一張應該事她賣的最差的一張,也是我第一張的Madonna專輯。

後來1998,我高二的時候,她出了Ray of Light,Techno、Ambient這些東西我都還沒什麼機會接觸,那時候聽覺得好實驗,過了八年,我今天拿出來聽,卻覺得無可挑剔。

這張專輯可以是她目前所有作品中,我最喜歡的專輯。因為很多首歌很棒,第一首Drowned World/Substitute For Love,Nothing Really Matters,The Power Of Goodbye,To Have And Not To Hold,以及她寫給她的小女兒的歌Little Star,都是我很喜愛的歌,反倒是Frozen和Ray of Light這兩首主打歌沒被我愛上。

我喜歡The Power of Goodbye的歌詞,就像蔡小twee跟我說的,"做出分手的決定都需要很大的勇氣", yes, there's no greater power than the power of goodbye.

這輩子的夢想之一就是親身體驗Madonna和Radiohead的演唱會......,日本人真幸福阿,怒。





Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken...I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken...I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye

There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
