冰小火的叨叨咻咻

專屬於你的名字「流行之王」~永遠的王者~永懷MJ

前些時候十分令人震奮的消息

MJ要復出演唱，同時也是告別演唱

開唱的七月份在即，沒想巨星隕落在前

台北時間2009/6/26 Michael Jackson心臟病發不治

這位80年代引領著多少人的流行音樂記憶的王者

就這樣辭世了....享年50歲

創造許多歷史與許多爭議的他

再也無法唱出字字令人震驚的樂聲

雖然在90年代末期在他一連串整型、性侵風波下

他的聲勢幾乎一落千丈

但對我而言卻無損我對他音樂的感受

80年代初期出生的我....無法親睹他引領流行的盛世

比起很多人我認真接觸到他的音樂晚多了....是在他出了精選集History之後

第一首接觸到他的歌反而是慢歌「You are not alone」

認真瞭解他的音樂之後才發現到他的節奏藍調之美

也許很多人是一路聽著他的音樂成長

我卻是從他沒落時代慢慢聽回去他的全盛時代

而且最令我感動的不是他華麗的舞蹈

也不是他節奏感分明的音樂

而是他不時透露出悲憫之心的歌詞

在這個時刻要憫懷他

要一一細數他的作品並沒有太多意義

因為他的作品幾乎都可以是流行音樂的經典

在今天聽到他去世的消息

我第一時間想到的歌曲就是他的Man in the mirror

這首歌最令我感動的是他的主歌 是主歌不是副歌哦

以前我反反覆覆聽他的主歌總是常常會感動到想落淚

因為他的歌詞、他的音調、他的靈魂

都滿滿灌注在他的主歌裡

今天忍不住又再聽了再聽

果然還是忍不住想流淚

沒辦法 光是以前我常常在聽就常常很感動了

更不要說現在原唱的MJ已經再也唱不出那些字字句句了

如果流行音樂跟古典音樂一樣有所謂的經典

MJ的音樂必定是其中最經典的一頁

緬懷偶像 Michael Jackson

"Man In The Mirror"

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Ooh!)
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change His
Ways
(Change His Ways-Ooh!)
And No Message Could've
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .)
Change!

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make The Change)
(You Gotta Get It Right, While
You Got The Time)
('Cause When You Close Your
Heart)
You Can't Close Your . . .Your
Mind!
(Then You Close Your . . .
Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That
Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror
(Man In The Mirror, Oh Yeah!)
That Man, That Man, That Man
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
You Know . . .That Man
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah
(Oh Yeah!)
Gonna Feel Real Good Now!
Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah
(Ooooh . . .)
Oh No, No No . . .
I'm Gonna Make A Change
It's Gonna Feel Real Good!

You've Got To Stop It.
