Anchor Music (Tag Blog)

In response to Green Rabbit's request on "your favorite Anchor Music",
here comes my anchor music .. or music which smooth my moody day ...

1) Bjork - Declare Independence



* A track from her latest album "Volta".
I am so moved by the strong rhythm and lyrics!
this is the live performance from Glastonbury 2007 ! very powerful!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2) The Verve - On your own



Tell me what you seen
Was it a dream?
Was I in it?
Life seems so obscene
Until it's over
Who knows?

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you wanna know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends on your own

* The Verve is one of my fav. music band ..this song is almost 10 yrs from now...
The lyrics is not the "encouraging" one , but a very true and honest piece of word...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3) The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony



'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

* Still , the song from my fav. band , i love...not only the lyrics, the beat..but also the MV...simple yet straight to the point!
Imagine you walk on the street with the tune in your mind....

--------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Madonna - Sorry



I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you've gone too far
I listened to your lies and all your stories (listen to your stories)
You're not half the man you'd like to be

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
You stayed because I made it so convenient (made it so convenient)
Don't explain yourself, you'll never see

* i admit, this is my recent fav. "heal the heartbreak" + cycling song...
i just found out it also applies in my work ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Pink Floyd - Another Brick of the Wall



* my anchor music / school anthem in my high sch and uni days..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
6) 林憶蓮 - 為何他會離開你



* why it becomes my anchor music ?... the lyrics act like a sharp knife and stab
directly into your wounded heart... instead of stab deepen into your wound,it "encourage " you to bounce back and release from the pain ...
"Just let it go" ...another "heartbreak healing song"

well, that's all i can think of at this moment...

WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN

Just watched a documentary on Bob Dylan (also posted at Table56) and learned about this old song...
I keep thinking about the "ship"(shit) theory from a new management today..
cant imagine what kind of ship that he is talking about....



WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN with Bob Dylan & Joan Baez at the Civil Rights March in Washington, D.C., 1963

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
Like the stillness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane begins,
The hour when the ship comes in.

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking.

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand,
The hour that the ship comes in.

And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean.

A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck,
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'.
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'.

Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real,
The hour when the ship comes in.

Then they'll raise their hands,
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
And like Pharaoh's tribe,
They'll be drownded in the tide,
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

運動篇

今年定下的「before 30s goal」，
「運動」是我其中的一項小目標，
完成了第一個10k馬拉松後將繼續向半馬拉松目標進發，
練習了差不多半年，幸好沒有「三分鐘熱度」，
因為開始運動後，身心也明顯改善了不少…

在同事的鼓勵及無心插柳下參加了游泳班，
幸運地被抽中 (心想，如果買六合彩也這樣就好了！)
八月中將進行兩個星期的密集式訓練…
第一階段成人捷泳訓練班 …我來了！
希望能完成另一 "before 30's運動小目標"。

現在更期侍十二月的來臨，可以試試到其他地方跑一跑…
因為完成了它後，我的「before 30s goal」也到達終點了！

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is medium. In general, you prefer to have only one love interest. But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long! There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering. Experience Level: Your experience level is medium. You probably have had a couple significant loves. And you may have even had your heart broken. But you haven't really dated a wide variety of people. Dominance: Your dominance is medium. You tend to be the one with more power. You aren't a total control freak in relationships.. But of course you don't mind getting you way! Cynicism: Your cynicism is low. You are an eternal optimist when it comes to love and romance. No matter how many times you've been hurt - you're never bitter. You believe in one true love, your perfect soulmate. And if you haven't found true love yet, you know you will soon. Independence: Your independence is medium. In relationships, you need both "me time" and "we time." You usually find it easy to be part of a couple. But occasionally you start to feel a little smothered.

The taste of food 10

關於burger…

不知從哪時候開始，有了尋找美味burger的興趣…
回想起，是因為某位朋友吧！
那位愛食的朋友總喜歡四處尋找新的餐廳、美食，
每當品嘗到美味的食物時，
臉上總掛上滿足、「貪食」又快樂的微笑 …
漸漸地，也被他的「為食冒險精神」感染了…

他曾說過一個好的burger最重要是一塊充滿肉汁的牛肉塊,
要是優質的肉塊，不需什麼醬料或cheese巳足夠。
要測試那店子是否好壞，叫一客 original便可…
從多次Burger旅程中，也認同他 「Burger之道」，
簡單的還是最好，因為這樣才能真正品嘗食物的味道…
我想，我的生活也可以這樣就好了…

註：近期試過了press room的press burger ($75) 和soho的媽媽burger (hk$25)…
其實兩個也不錯，但論價錢低食程度，媽媽burger 成為我的至愛…

旅行的義意

轉眼又一年，
上年的七月六號帶着人生以來最疲憊不堪嘅身心，
獨自上路，踏上最遠的旅程…
很多第一次的旅行經驗…
第一次獨自旅行，
第一次上網訂火車票，
第一次拿着地圖自訂旅程…
…
還有重拾一段與自己獨處的時候…
整個旅程歷歷在目…

曾對自己說過，每年也要去一次長途旅行，
今年未能成事…也離不開金錢、時間等因素…
不過這次旅行卻帶來另一個體驗–
無論在任何地方也可以享受旅行帶來的「心情」，
只要能保持這種「旅行心態」–
(探險、開放、勇於發掘、感受、享受…等)
任何時刻也可進入「旅行狀態」…

註：長途旅行計劃將於明年鐵定實行！

Table 56

回歸日
與三位超級音樂朋友
因為一隊喜愛的樂隊重組而出來聚舊…
新blog " TABLE 56 " 因而產生…

有時間去坐下！
