A LOVE LETTER TO MONEY
To heal myself from the money wounds, I decided to write a love letter to it.
I remember one morning when I was on the plane flying from Vietnam to Singapore. I pulled out my pen and notebook to write a Love Letter to Money.
“Dear money.
Thank you so much for having been there for me all along.
It is because of you that I can take this flight. Because of you, I could buy vegetable soup and fried rice. Because of you, I have these clothes to keep my body warm and make me feel beautiful.
I’m sorry for having avoided you, run away from you, and treated you without care. Please forgive me...”
It was a long letter. I cannot recall it fully now. But I remember crying writing it, next to confused passengers who must have thought I was writing a Please-Come-Back-to-Me letter to an ex-boyfriend or something.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭.
Without that, I wouldn’t have been able to build my current business, making the impact I believe in, and having the lifestyle that I love.

The Sound Of Silence ◎Simon & Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
嗨囉,黑暗吾友
I've come to talk with you again
我又來到你眼前與你交談
Because a vision softly creeping
因著一種幻覺正悄悄向我爬來
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
趁我深眠留下種子遍地
And the vision that was planted in my brain
爾後深植於我腦海之中
Still remains
不斷纏繞
Within the sound of silence
伴隨寂靜之聲
In restless dreams I walked alone
無盡的夢裡我隻身行走
Narrow streets of cobblestone
於狹窄的鵝卵石之街
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路燈的光暈之下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領抵禦寒氣與溼氣
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night
當一束劃破夜空的霓虹刺穿我的眼
And touched the sound of silence
觸摸著寂靜深處的聲音
And in the naked light, I saw
在奪目得近乎赤裸的光中,我看見
Ten thousand people, maybe more
成千上萬的人,或許更多
People talking without speaking
人們交談卻未發聲
People hearing without listening
聽見一切卻不聞
People writing songs that voices never share
人們寫下那些歌,卻未曾共享歌聲
And no one dared
終於無人再膽敢
Disturb the sound of silence
打擾寂靜之聲
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
「蠢人」,我說,「你不知道的是
Silence like a cancer grows
寂靜正如癌症蔓延滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you
仔細聽我的言語讓我教導你
Take my arms that I might reach you"
抓住我手臂讓我拯救你」
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
但我的話語,正寂靜如雨滴墜落
And echoed
並且敲起回音
In the wells of silence
於寂靜之井中
And the people bowed and prayed
於是人們鞠躬、祈禱
To the neon god they made
向著他們創造的霓虹之神
And the sign flashed out its warning
警告的燈在其中閃熾
In the words that it was forming
組織所有文字
And the sign said,
靜謐訴說:
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
「先知的話語已被篆刻於地鐵牆上
And tenement halls"
與屋宇大廳裡
And whispered in the sound of silence
並低語於寂靜之聲中」

◎作者簡介
Simon & Garfunkel是著名美國民謠搖滾音樂二重唱組合,是六十年代最流行的樂團之一,被視為該年代社會變革的反文化偶像。其成名曲多不勝數,如〈The Sound of Silence〉、〈Scarborough Fair〉、〈Bridge Over Troubled Water〉等皆為家喻戶曉的名曲。
-
◎小編淵智賞析
〈The Sound of Silence〉是Simon & Garfunkel1964年的首張錄音室專輯《Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.》中的一首歌。推出後卻售量慘淡,也導致兩人散夥。到了1965年春天,該歌曲開始在電台上播放,卻意外獲得播放量的增長,也使製作人決定重新將此歌進行混音並發行,〈The Sound of Silence〉因此爆紅,也使Simon & Garfunkel重組,並以該歌名作為第二張專輯的名字。
介紹完歌曲背景後,讓我們來開始看這首歌。從其中的詞彙選用,如「黑暗darkness」、「鵝卵石之街streets of cobblestone」、「霓虹neon」,我們不難感知到歌曲的場景錯落於彷彿十九世紀的倫敦,因為霧氣蔓延而顯得似乎無盡的街。歌曲開始於一種精神狀態的模擬「Because a vision softly creeping因著一種幻覺正悄悄向我爬來/Left its seeds while I was sleeping趁我深眠留下種子遍地」,此一幻覺的襲來承襲前面的「darkness黑暗」,我們可以意識到不管接下來發生的事情為何,對敘事者而言,他已經陷於一種昏昧、幻覺蔓生的精神狀態。當我們感知到了此一型態之後,這段便以「Within the sound of silence伴隨寂靜之聲」作收,這是這首歌第一次出現「矛盾」的語境——究竟寂靜深處為何會有聲音呢?
帶著這樣的疑問,我們來到了下一段,與第一段的精神狀態不同,第二段的描述卻絲毫未帶有個人的意識,而是從外界種種來進行投射——敘事者在無盡的街上行走,為了抵禦濕氣與寒氣而將領袖立起,而即使如此,卻依然有些事物是能穿過領袖直接侵襲的,那就是霓虹。我們不難感知到這裡的「霓虹」似乎帶有著文明、發展的想像,當這種感覺卻依然停留在模糊的型態,卻又回到了第一段那樣類似的語句作結:「And touched the sound of silence觸摸著寂靜深處的聲音」。然而有了第一段的內在精神型態、第二段的外在世界描摹,我們便似乎開始感受得到究竟何謂「sound of silence」。
接著,來到了第三段,承接上段的光,敘事者的意識開始與外界結合,而使得他看見了幻覺「And in the naked light, I saw在奪目得近乎赤裸的光中,我看見/Ten thousand people, maybe more成千上萬的人,或許更多」,這樣的幻象似乎替sound of silence作出了一種情境式的衍釋——到了此時,sound of silence的具體特徵也終於浮現:「People talking without speaking人們交談卻未發聲/People hearing without listening聽見一切卻不聞/People writing songs that voices never share人們寫下那些歌,卻未曾共享歌聲」。交談卻未出聲,聽見一切卻聽而不聞,擁有歌曲卻未共享歌聲,這是一種冷漠的姿態,在二重唱所生存的當代,這種冷漠、文明以及歌曲所想抵抗的意識形態正好重疊在此刻。因此,在下一段,他們也終於第一次對此冷漠做出了痛心的批判:
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
「蠢人」,我說,「你不知道的是
Silence like a cancer grows
寂靜正如癌症蔓延滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you
仔細聽我的言語讓我教導你
Take my arms that I might reach you"
抓住我手臂讓我拯救你」
然而,最淒涼的是,這樣的痛心疾首,卻依舊被冷漠所吞噬:「But my words, like silent raindrops fell但我的話語,正寂靜如雨滴墜落/And echoed
並且敲起回音/In the wells of silence於寂靜之井中」,此時,這一種「silence寂靜」也終於清楚地被我們所認知到。這是一種先知的嘆息,生存在知道一切正往著崩毀命運的當代,想要大聲疾呼卻始終徒勞無功,這或許是二重唱在他們唱著這些歌曲的當代,最無可奈何的命運吧。
因此,到了最後,他們也只能眼睜睜地看著人們向著人工的神「neon god霓虹之神」祈禱,並留下最後的遺言。

◎作者簡介
⠀
盧卡斯葛拉漢樂團(Lukas Graham)是一支丹麥流行樂及靈魂樂樂團,。現時樂團成員包括主唱Lukas Forchhammer、鼓手Mark Falgren、貝斯手Magnus Larsson 。
⠀
-
◎小編品嫺賞析
⠀
這首歌從僅有七歲的童年時期開始,帶著聽眾一起體驗了主唱 Lukas 的人生。歌詞淺白易懂,甚至有些琅琅上口,讓聽覺與靈魂得以貼合著音樂,感受這首歌當中譜出的故事。
⠀
並非富裕的童年,讓 Lukas 從小就被迫長大,毒品與烈酒就是他的兒時玩伴。但他沒有因此走上歪路,父親一直是他心中的領袖,為了成為跟父親一樣的人,他開始接觸音樂、寫歌。到了二十歲, Lukas 的心境也有了成長。
⠀
二十歲的自己充滿了力量與衝勁,擁有犯錯的餘地也不畏嘗試;三十歲便開始小有名氣。而〈7 years〉的發行年份(2015)正是Lukas快要邁入三十的時期,這段歌詞可以說是對自己野心的描寫,數年後回頭來看,更是成了自傳的一部分。隨著歌曲的推進,在三十歲之後,家庭成了新的和弦,也必然要面對關係的離別,這些都是生命要持續學習的重要課題。
⠀
接著歌詞跳到了六十歲的人生,嘹亮的歌聲彷彿是在對世界吶喊。少了年輕時的那份衝動,到了六十歲,對生活有了更多的體悟:理解了要把握當下的每一刻、理解了到了老年希望有孩子在身邊陪伴的渴望。主唱不斷對世界提出疑問,在懷疑、不安的同時,也勾勒出了自己想要的模樣。時間的消逝如此之快,但往往都是等到過去了才會意識到自己的不珍惜。
⠀
至此年齡就不再推進,因為影響至深的父親只活到六十一歲,接下來就沒有藍圖可以參考。在歌曲的最後,我們又回到了原點,一切激昂的情緒恢復平靜,緩慢地重新審視經歷過的一切──那年,還只有七歲的時候。
⠀
四分鐘的歌曲就道盡了六十年的一切,同時寫給自己,也寫給父親。
⠀

MV GIRL: Yeze Kee
If this is goodbye
Don't leave me, loving you
Whatever you do
Don't leave me, loving you
If you tip toe out in the morning, I need a warning
If you don't feel it, too
But whatever you do
Don't leave me, loving you
If you're out of this when I'm all in, I need a warning
Don't leave me, loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babe
Don't leave me, loving you, babe
I am writing this to make the post longer and getting more keywords into the description like Jackson Wang GOT7.
The girl's name is Yeze Kee her lips WAY TOO thick, I don't understand why they like super thick lips.
White girl looks cute in this video because I am a VERY good camera man and director. That's why.
I actually learned about this LMLY @ The late late show by James Corden. The song is quite good.
It's not like I am a huge fan of Jackson but he's popular and I DO think he is cooler than Viu TV 姜濤 #姜濤
And I translated lyrics by Google English to Chinese to make the post even longer.
如果再見
不要離開我,愛你
不管你做什麼
不要離開我,愛你
如果你早上腳尖翹起來,我需要警告
如果您也感覺不到
但是不管你做什麼
不要離開我,愛你
如果我全神貫注於此,那麼我需要警告
寶貝,別離開我,愛你
不管你做什麼,寶貝
寶貝,別離開我,愛你
