我從不唱KTV, (What's the point? 不知道大多數人為什麼喜歡)
但是如果逼不得已, 真的非唱不可, 那"The Origin of Love"一定會在我的歌單裡。
我非常喜歡唱這首歌, 歌詞多又密, 音韻極佳, 又寫得非常淒美,
整首歌架構完整, 高潮迭起, 引經據典, 還帶有故事性, 是近年來少有的Epic,
雖然愛唱, 但這首歌的前半段Key蠻低的, 害我總是得壓著脖子唱。
這首歌選自"Hedwig and the Angry Inch"電影原聲帶(Directed by John Cameron Mitchell; recent work: "Shortbus"),
電影好看(Cult classic; 以後一定會介紹), 原聲帶更是每首都好聽到嚇死人。

順帶一提, 我的"史上最佳電影原聲帶"排行榜(Alphabetical ranking):
舞動奇蹟"Billy Elliot", 芝加哥"Chicago", 在黑暗中漫舞"Dancer in the Dark", 鬥陣俱樂部"Fight Club", 搖滾芭比"Hedwig and the Angry Inch", 心靈角落"Magnolia", 聖誕夜驚魂"Nightmare before Christmas", 猜火車"Trainspotting", 絲絨金礦"Velvet Goldmine"
內容持續追加中....

當然, 原聲帶好聽的電影不可能難看,
以上全部強力推薦。


"The Origin of Love"
(Stephen Trask)

When the earth was still flat,
And clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher

Folks roamed the earth,
Like big rolling kegs,
They had two sets of arms;
They had two sets of legs
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head,
So they could watch all around them
As they talked, while they read
And they never know nothing of love
It was before the origin of love

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
one that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun
And similar in shape and girth,
Were the children of the earth,
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one
And the children of the moon,
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon,
They were part sun, part earth,
Part daughter, part son

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
“I’m gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants.”
And Zeus said, “No,
You better let me
Use my lighting like scissors,
Like I cut the legs of the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards.”
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, “I’ll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half.”
And the storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price that we’ve pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
If we don’t behave
They’ll cut us down again
And we’ll be hopping around on one foot
And looking through one eye

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood in your face
I had blood in my eyes.
But I cloud swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That’s the pain
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart
We called it love
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was a sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It’s the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.
