爵士、鄉村、我的他

兩個人在一起,總是會互相影響
雖然來不及參與對方的過去
卻能在他的習慣中,稍微看到那個在認識自己前的他
==

以前的他,喜歡鄉村音樂、喜歡爵士樂
以前的我,嫌鄉村音樂老老氣氣、覺得爵士的音樂鬆鬆散散不成調調

在一起以後,他介紹了好多好多的樂手和FM廣播台
還帶著我 去聽戴安娜克羅(Diana Krall)的音樂會

然後我發現
原來鄉村歌手不全都是頭戴牛仔帽身穿牛仔褲外加嘴上一撮小鬍子的中年男人

狄克西女子(Dixie Chicks)、費絲希爾(Faith Hill)的鄉村音樂 快樂得像陽光下的草原 憂傷得像烏雲密佈的荒野

然後我開始
欣賞爵士樂的旋律
隨著音符 如行雲流水般的自在

諾拉瓊斯的歌聲配著咖啡香
而戴安娜克羅的琴聲與歌聲 適合在月光下欣賞
==

這首Just The Way You Are翻唱自Billy Joel
收錄在戴安娜克羅的巴黎音樂會專輯

一邊看著歌詞 聽著Diana Krall低沉磁性的嗓音
我的心 灌著滿滿的甜蜜....

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.
