在為賦新詞強說愁的年紀
除了課業
小說和音樂其實佔了更大篇幅
也是為避開聯考壓力 可依憩的一方天地
當時那位歌手隸屬哪家唱片公司 都能倒背如流
即便聯考當頭 逛唱片行卻永遠是必要的"朝聖"之旅
啃書時 也一定要有滿室的音符流竄
無意間聽到這首歌
BAD DAY by Daniel Powter
旋律簡單輕快 朗朗上口
幾乎可以抓出它音符的走向
也許其實曾經聽過吧
拜網路所賜 現今資訊爆炸
幾分鐘內 所有的資訊都到手
原來這是2005年就上市的歌
還是當年歐洲可口可樂的jingle song
甚至也在美國版星光大道大量播放
也許是聽過才覺得曲調熟悉
也可能是成功的歌曲總是能直入人心
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with a coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carrying on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on
----
On holiday
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well on that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day

His voice is a little similar with James Blunt.
After all these years of hip hop and rap, we all need such a peachful and pure sound,
especially at this age.
I like the lyric, "hit a new low"
as it's reflecting my mind recently.
That is life. Life is full of waves and you can't expect blue skies all the time.
Good thing is the clouds come easily then they shall go easily.
The rain makes you upset, however the sky and mountains are the most pretty after raining.
All the dirt will be brought away by rain.
Maybe that is why Daniel Powter sings the song with cheerful tone,
though the title is "Bad Day".
For a person who doesn't speak English, he may think this is a happy song.
Ha! I like the controdiction.
I shall hear more good songs. The touching and moving feeling are so great.
This "Bad Day" actually makes my day.
