力宏專輯週記2001年#2 No.32-----SonymusicTW
親愛的朋友們，
今天我在馬來西亞的吉隆坡機場寫這篇週記給你們。上一次我來這裡，是十個多 月前來做「雷霆戰警」的電影宣傳工作。此刻，我帶著我的最新專輯「唯一」再次來到這裡。我真的要謝謝馬來西亞的歌迷朋友們，在我吉隆坡、檳城和怡保舉辦活動時，你們踴躍出席並且熱情的支持，看到數以千計的歌迷敞開胸懷，一起大聲唱著「唯一」的壯觀場面，真是太令我感動了。
在這個星期的週記，讓我們開始聊聊這張專輯吧，這些歌曲，這些旋律，這些歌詞以及這些故事它們背後的想法：
「唯一」這首歌曲是我在希臘的密克諾斯島大約凌晨五、六點之間完成的。這個八月中旬的家族旅行充滿了悠閒的午后和海邊的微風，曬成古銅色的皮膚和玻璃杯中的各種飲料，身旁的一切事物完全塑造出一個很棒的夏日假期！上次能抽空休假一天，距離這次的假期已經整整兩年了，更別說可以空出一個星期的時間來 渡假。我終於有機會可以放慢腳步，擁有自己的時間來思索自己的生活 ﹣自己私人的生活。在希臘沒有工作要急著去做，我那一個禮拜的時間表是完全的空白！我真的相信那幾天的時間好像完全靜止、事實上，那幾天的時間已永久的停留在那裡，如同我靈魂的一部份仍舊留在穿越愛琴海的帆船上，隨著它輕輕的搖蕩著。這希臘的星星和夜空，曾是無數古典希臘神化創作靈感的泉源，啟發了這些有著人性缺陷的神仙故事，是這同樣的星星和夜空讓我在8月17日的清晨感受到無限孤獨。我悄悄地爬下床，不願吵醒還在熟睡的弟弟跟爸爸，走出屋外，開始沒有目標的在冷風中漫步在空蕩蕩的街頭，那時候大概是清晨五點鐘，我看著月光下自己的影子，草草地在PDA上寫下來這首「唯一」，這首歌就這樣誕生了：
我的天空多麼的清晰
透明的承諾 是過去的空氣
牽著我的手是你
但你的笑容卻看不清
是否一顆星星變了心
從前的願望已全都給拋棄
最近我無法呼吸 連自己的影子
都想逃避 逃避
我下意識的想到為什麼愛情是這麼的不公平，為什麼兩個人會在同一段感情關係當中，然而彼此對這段感情的認知度卻有這麼不同的差異。當他完全的確信她是他心中的唯一，而她也許是不快樂的。當一對戀人相隔遙遠時，他們能握住的只是對彼此的承諾，在這件事的經驗中，承諾已逐漸凋謝，變成透明，就像昨天的空氣一樣飄逝，漸行漸遠。他懷疑那個曾經為他們許願做見證的星星已經變了心，或許它已決定遺棄他們的願望，因為這個昔日的承諾已將支離破碎了。最後，他考慮放棄一切來成全這段感情。徹底逃離每一件事物，甚至自己的影子，似乎是他可以和她在一起的唯一途徑。
我以前寫過的情歌，很多都是關於遠距離的愛情關係，像是：「永遠的第一天」、「妳可以告訴我（妳還愛誰）」、「Mary Says」、「信任」等等，現在你可以再加上「唯一」還有「安全感」這兩首歌曲。我想每當我寫情歌的時候，我沒有辦法不從我內心深處去寫，我個人的情感經歷，在那時刻牽動著我的心，它會不可避免的呈現出來。「唯一」是我在2001年8月17日的清晨五、六點之間，獨坐在希臘密克諾斯島上的心情故事。謝謝您們聽見了這首歌曲並讓它成為您們生活中的一部分。
願世界和平，力宏
Dear Friends,
I'm writing to you today from the Kuala Lampur Airport in Malaysia. Last time I was here was to do promotion for "China Strike Force" more than ten months ago. Now, here I am again with my brand new album, "Wei Yi, The One And Only". I want to give a big thanks to all the fans in Malaysia for the huge turnout at my appearances in KL, Penang and Ipoh. What a great sight to see so many thousands of fans singing "Wei Yi" at the top of their lungs!
In this week's diary, let's start talking about the album itself. The songs, the melodies, lyrics and stories behind their conception…beginning with:
"Wei Yi, The One And Only"- this song was written on Mykonos Island, Greece between 5-6 a.m. This family vacation in mid-August was filled with slow afternoons and ocean-side breezes, tanned bodies and tall drinks, all the amenities of a proper summer vacation were in full effect. It had been almost two years since the last time I took a day off, let alone week, so there I was, finally having an opportunity to slow down and reflect on my life, my own personal life. There was no work to be done in Greece, my schedule was completely BLANK for the week! I do believe that time came to a grinding halt, actually forever stopped during the course of those few days, as part of my spirit continues to rock gently on a sailboat coasting across the Aegean Sea. It was those same Greek stars and night sky, that inspired countless classic stories of Gods with human character flaws, that gave me loneliness on the morning of August 17. I quietly crawled out of bed so as not to wake my sleeping brother and father, then exited the house and began to walk aimlessly in the cold, empty street. It was 5 o'clock a.m. and I watched my moonlight shadow jot a few lines in his palm pilot, the song thus began:
wo de tian kong duo me de qing xi
tou ming de cheng nuo shi guo qu de kong qi
qian zhe wo de shou shi ni
dan ni de xiao rong que kan bu qing
shi fou yi ke xing xing bian le xin
cong qian de yuan wang yi quan dou gei pao qi
zui jing wo wu fa hu xi lian zi ji de ying zi
dou xiang tao bi…tao bi.
I must have subconsciously been thinking about how unfair love can be. How two people can be in a relationship, yet feel so differently about one another. She might be unhappy, while he might be completely convinced that she is "the one and only". When two lovers are far apart, all they have to hold on to is their promise, which in this case, is already fading more and more transparent, floating away like yesterday's air. He wonders if the star that they had wished upon together had had a change of heart, perhaps decided to abandon their wish, as it seems to be falling apart. Finally, he considers giving everything up in order to make it work. Getting away from absolutely everything, even his own shadow seems to be the only way that he can be with her.
Many of the love songs that I have written in the past are about long distance relationships, "Forever's First Day", "You Can Tell Me","Mary Says", "Trust", to name a few. You can add "Wei Yi, The One And Only", and "An Quan Gan, Sense of Security" to this list now, too. I guess when it comes to writing love songs, I can't help but write from my heart. My own personal feelings at that given time move me and inevitably come to the surface. That is how I felt, sitting alone between 5 and 6 a.m. on Mykonos Island, Greece, August 17, 2001. Thanks for listening to this song and letting it into your lives.
Peace on Earth, Leehom
