最近看了一部2013年的記錄片「再見我的新郎」(英文原名: Bridegroom)，內容是一對美國同性伴侶Tom和Shane的故事。Tom和Shane相戀六年，擁有共同的房子和事業，還有羨煞旁人的甜蜜戀情。然而2011年某一天Tom從高樓墜下不幸身亡，由於當時加州同性婚姻並未合法，Shane無權在醫院探視，更無權為Tom作任何醫療決定。在醫生宣佈不治後，友人對護士苦苦哀求，護士終於網開一面讓他進病房見Tom最後一面。Tom的父母無法接受兒子是gay，拒絕並恐嚇Shane不能出席喪禮，而喪禮上也完全不提Tom與Shane共結連理的生活，彷彿那些年不曾存在一樣。Shane在Tom逝世一年後作了一個短片「It could happen to you」放上Youtube，希望自己的故事能激勵人們勇敢爭取婚姻平權，然而這個短片超乎意料引起社會廣大迴響，因而有了這部記錄片的誕生。
如果Shane當年沒有獨自離家到加州闖蕩，現在的Shane又會過著怎樣的生活？如果Tom的父母接受他是gay的事實，也許就不會有It could happen to you這支影片，而Shane仍舊是個默默無聞的小人物。如果Tom沒有墜樓身亡，2016年6月的Shane是否會和Tom流淚相擁慶祝美國承認同性婚姻合法？還是那一刻與Shane相擁的已是不同的人？人生有好多也許如果，好多巧合錯過，就算人生歷程再怎麼驚天動地，我們只能頭也不回走這麼一次。

還記得當初在電影院看獅子王時，被開幕歌"Circle of Life"一開始的非洲部落吟唱震撼到，再配合旭日從地平面升起，所有動物彷彿聽到召喚一樣不約而同抬起頭來，讓人真的能體會到原始的力量。而到歌曲快結尾時，巫師狒狒在榮耀石上將小獅王抬起接受動物們的歡呼，這是我第一次看卡通會想感動落淚。最近獅子王舞台劇來台演出，我曾經也有想去看的衝動，可是我覺得舞台劇應該沒辦法帶我回到過去第一次接觸這首歌的震撼，所以我決定還是省錢下來。

Linkin Park第一張專輯"Hybrid Theory"是我大三時買的，而這首Pushing Me Away是我最喜歡的一首歌，因為歌詞正好符合我當時的心境。當我心情不好時，我都會放著Linkin Park的歌，無意識地聽著主唱Chester盡情嘶吼，麻痺所有思考能力。Linkin Park去年來台的演唱會裡，他唱的正是此版本的Pusing Me Away，簡單的鋼琴與人聲就撐起了整首歌，而專輯裡的Pusing Me Away則加了強力的rock與少許的rap。兩個版本我都很喜歡，不過我喜歡專輯版多一點，所以下面順便放上專輯版與歌詞給大家鑑賞。
Pushing Me Away
I've lied to you The same way that I always do This is the last smile That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart Even the people who never frown Eventually break down) The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (Everything has to end You'll soon find we're out of time left To watch it all unwind) The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you To do everything you wanted too This is the last time I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart Even the people who never frown Eventually break down) The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (Everything has to end You'll soon find we're out of time left To watch it all unwind) The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away (We're all out of time This is how we find how it all unwinds) The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (We're all out of time This is how we find how it all unwinds) The sacrifice is never knowing Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away Pushes me away
久違的小瑪專輯終於千呼萬喚始出來，由於上張專輯"The Emancipation of Mimi "回來的太過用力，這張專輯有點像是小品專輯，沒什麼重鹹的歌曲，卻多了點低迴詠唱的清新。很驚人的是，小瑪的中音域竟然練虛還實，整張專輯幾乎都盤旋在中音域的實音，真搞不懂這女人的嗓子構造，如果愛因斯坦的大腦留給後世研究為什麼他會這麼聰明的話，那麼小瑪的嗓子也可以留給後世研究為什麼她這麼會唱。這專輯的封面我不是很喜歡，總覺得單調了點，像是褪色的The Emancipation of Mimi 。
1. Migrate ★★★★★ 這首歌可以算怪歌一首吧，開場高音像是被電子化的海豚音，但是又跟後面的節奏如此吻合，整首歌也間雜著小瑪電子化的聲音，這是以往不曾出現過的小瑪，很棒的嚐試。這首歌我覺得跟上一張的"It's Like That"一樣，都給我耳目一新的感覺。如果這首歌當第二主打我也覺得不意外，說不定會比Bye Bye更有賣相，是首適合跑趴賣粿的主題曲。
2. Touch My Body ★★★☆☆ 歌唱生涯第18支冠軍單曲，使她成為全美冠軍單曲最多的歌手(幹掉貓王的17支)。這首歌旋律很容易朗朗上口，再加上小瑪似實還虛的氣音演譯，整個人就陷入無底的棉花糖裡，嘴裡鼻子都是甜滋滋的味道。所以我覺得這首歌還蠻容易聽膩的，但不是說這首歌不好聽，只是像Dreamlover、Fantasy、Honey一樣，不是屬於我這個年紀的fu (煙~) 欲觀看Touch My Body的MV請按我
3. Cruise Control ★★★☆☆ 旋律我很喜歡，節奏又明快，果然有種中南美洲的慵懶熱情。唱到Cruise Control的Cruise這個字時，小瑪用拚字式唱出來，就像Loverboy裡把Kissing這個字用拚字式唱法，代表小瑪還是記得她出過Glitter這張專輯的 (誤!)
4. I Stay in Love ★★★★☆ 這首歌很讚啊！聽完接著放周杰倫的可愛女人會覺得像是姐妹作 XD 小瑪以往沒試過這種曲吧，一點也不像她寫出來的歌。小瑪現在的高音愈來愈尖了，偏偏她現在的歌曲表現方式最後面都會高八度唱出來，有時候聽起來壓力蠻大的。
5. Side Effect ★☆☆☆☆ 不喜歡，但欣賞小瑪勇於嘗試這種有態度的嗆歌。說到嗆歌，我比較喜歡Christina的Can't Hold Us Down，那是真正的bitch啊!
6. I'm that Chick ★★★★☆ 一開始這張專輯本來是要叫"That Chick"，謝天謝地沒用這個名字。"I'm that chick you like"像是催眠暗示一般不斷在歌曲裡出現，聽久了會真的變成自己真的就是那隻雞。小瑪在這首歌氣音再度泛爛，但是不知怎麼搞的，我覺得她的氣音變紮實了，可能是她在合音裡加了實音的關係吧，而不是由氣音層層相疊而成。我覺得這首歌的編排上有點單調(畢竟是催眠效果曲)，如果可以加段旋律更強的Bridge的話，也許會讓整首歌更耐聽吧。
7. Love Story ★☆☆☆☆ 這首歌給我的感覺跟Babydoll一樣，都是我不喜歡的調調
8. I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time ★★★☆☆ 這首歌還不懶，蠻歡樂的，但不知怎麼搞的，聲音聽起來悶悶的，像是沒錄好的樣子，不知道大家有沒有這種感覺。
9. Last Kiss ★☆☆☆☆ 這首歌給我的感覺跟Babydoll一樣，都是我不喜歡的調調(我沒打錯，跟第7首一樣)
Silent Hill (沉默之丘)這部片我是在西門町的電影院看的，而且沒有人陪我去看，超孤單！這部片是由同名電玩改編而成的電影，一般而言，由電玩改編的電影都會陷入毀了原著電玩的危機，因為遊戲通常都要八九個小時才破關，而電影卻只有至多兩個小時的時間可以交代。另一個會不如原著電玩的原因是，電玩裡人物的心境可以不必連續，而且重要的道具通常都會讓主角可以輕易查覺，但電影人物卻不能這樣搞。
這首歌出自電影「令人討厭的松子的一生」，主唱AI唱得非常有節奏感，配合電影的畫面會更有感覺。 日文歌詞 =================================== What am I living for? What are we living for? Tell me how can I find all of my reason for living. (What is…) What is a Life…? (What is a Life…) Ohhhhhh
What is a Life, What is a Life ここでは人が起きて 働いて 食べて 眠るだけ それが人生なら What is a Life, What is a Life 何もする事のないかべの中で 人は何を感じで生きていくのだろう？
(What is a Life？)彼女は家族のために (What is a Life？)自分のプライドのために (What is a Life？)手放せない思い出のため (What is a Life？)愛だけのために生きてく (What is a Life？)金だけのために生きる
What is a Life, What is a Life 朝 目が覚めればまだ同じコトのくり返し 同じ顔 同じ場所で What is a Life What is a Life 何を思いながら人は生きていくのだろう あなたは何のために生きてる？
(What is a Life？) yeah, some people live for their family.. (What is a Life？) some people live for the pride, for the pride.. (What is a Life？) some people live for the fame What is a Life？
I'm living for the love. 愛を抱いて 生きていくわ ずっと たったひとつ 愛のために 生きていくわ ずっと たったひとり あなたのため 生きていくわ Love is life. すべて捧げ あなたのため 生きていくわ Love is life.
中文翻譯 ================================ What am I living for? What are we living for? Tell me how can I find all of my reason for living. (What is…) What is a Life…? (What is a Life…) Ohhhhhh
What is a Life, What is a Life 這裡的人起床 工作 吃飯 睡覺 如果這就是人生的話 What is a Life, What is a Life 什麼事都不能做的那道牆的裡面 人們要靠什麼感覺而活下去呢
(What is a Life？)她為了他的家庭 (What is a Life？)為了自己的自尊 (What is a Life？)為了無法釋懷的回憶 (What is a Life？)為了愛而活 (What is a Life？)為了錢而活
What is a Life, What is a Life 早上 一起來又要重複相同的事情 用同樣的表情 在同樣的地方
What is a Life What is a Life 人要邊思考著什麼邊活下去 你為了什麼而活下去
(What is a Life？) yeah, some people live for their family.. (What is a Life？) some people live for the pride, for the pride.. (What is a Life？) some people live for the fame What is a Life？
