这个秋天，有点造反了。人的情绪最容易在秋天走进低潮，人也容易在秋天迷失自己的路，人也容易在秋天寻找一些无穷的莫名烦恼。生活，其实没有这么累的。关键是你走出你自己的心怀的那一刻是否是坦荡的？我希望，天下的女人都不要给自己弱小的心灵填充庞大的负荷。简单点，就作一个：唯小人与女子难养也的女子。
我是一口气看完的，侯孝贤导演的电影《最好的时光》，里面的单曲，很好听。一定要去买原声来收藏！算是对曾有过秋风秋雨秋天的怀念吧。舒薄雾浓云愁永昼淇说，这是她表演的最认真的一部戏，实在忍不住还是看了。像侯孝贤能在商业化横行的电影世界里还在忘我的拍摄纯艺术片的人已经不多了。难为他了。我特别喜欢有一个舒薄雾浓云愁永昼淇和张震十指相扣在雨中的场景，放的就是这个RAIN AND TEARS，就是很奇怪张震在给KURORO的第一封信里为什么说这是披头四的RAIN AND TEARS呢？？明明是VANGELIS的成名曲啊！！GOOGLE发现这个伟大的人跟我还是同一天生日啊！！
乐队：Aphrodite's Child
专辑：End Of The World
曲目：Rain and Tears
风格：Progressive Rock

Aphrodite‘s Child（爱神之子）一支希腊籍合唱团，想必你和我一样对其感到陌生，但他们留下的这首rain and tears---西洋老歌中不可或缺的经典作品，却令他们的名字从不曾在音乐史册上轻易消失，这首歌是从德国著名作曲家帕海贝尔的作品canon（卡农）改编而成，乐团在其和弦的基础上填上新的旋律，从而赋予作品独特的韵味，缓拍的节奏，悠柔的旋律，苍凉的歌喉，让这首歌似乎载满了所有的愁和怨，歌词同样凄切动人，充满悲情，听一遍下来，心仿佛被在泪水中浸泡过一般，咸咸酸酸，麻木而无助，不知不觉你会对这调调上瘾，一遍又一遍的聆听与寻味歌中那股辛酸与无奈~ ~
Aphrodite's Child是Vangelis年輕時在六七十年代所組的樂團，可算作他成名前的踏板。相信以前聽過Rain and Tears這首老歌的朋友也知道，它基本上由Vangelis與團員原創，也是有名的歐陸風格懷舊名曲。的確，一開始旋律/行進的確像卡農，但Aphrodite's Child大部分作品其實都屬於迷幻味重的前衛搖滾。雙CD專輯"666"講聖經中使徒聖約翰故事，也是他們最有名概念專輯。可惜了音樂史裡愛神之子似乎很難不籠罩在Vangelis陰影底下。單曲導向的朋友可以試試精選"Best of Aphrodite's Child" (有收錄Rain and Tears)。"666"(副標題Apocalypse of St John)仍舊得強力推薦，史詩人文風格濃郁。

愛神之子樂團還有It's Five O'clock/ Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall/ I Want to Live等編曲也十分有古典味道,主唱嗓音憂鬱中略帶激昂,如陳年老酒般愈聽愈香淳. 推薦!

順便還偷偷告訴大家一件事,我們所熟知的范吉利斯他希臘全名應為:
"Evangelos Odyssey Papathanassiou".

Rain and Tears - Aphrodite's Child
Rain and tears are all the same
But in the sun
you've got to play the game

When you cry in winter time
You can't pretend it's nothing but the rain

How many times I've seen
Tear's coming from you blue eyes

Rain and tears are all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game

Give me the moods of love
And I need the moods of love

Rain and tears in the sun for in your heart
You feel the rainbow waves

Rain and tears both are show for in my heart
The live will be the sun

Rain and tears are all the same
Rain in the sun you've got to play the game

Vangelis Papathanassiou (March 29,1943 - ?)

Best known for his lush, Oscar-winning score to the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, Vangelis was among the most successful and admired electronic composers of his era. Born Evangelos Odyssey Papathanassiou in Valos, Greece on March 29, 1943, his nascent musical talent was recognized at an early age, but he refused to take piano lessons, instead teaching himself. After high school he formed the early-1960s pop group Formynx, soon the most popular act in Greece. After achieving superstardom at home, Vangelis relocated to Paris in 1968, and was in France at the time of the student riots; unable to go back home, he formed the progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child with fellow Greek expatriates Demis Roussos and Loukas Sideras, soon scoring a major European hit with the single "Rain and Tears."

After Aphrodite's Child disbanded in 1972, Vangelis joined French filmmaker Frederic Rossif to compose the scores for the features L' Apocalypse des Animaux and La Fete Sauvage; his proper solo debut, Earth, followed in 1974, around the time he was rumored to be joining Yes. Although Vangelis did rehearse with Yes for a few weeks, he never officially joined their ranks; still, he became close friends with group vocalist Jon Anderson, a frequent collaborator in the years to follow. Relocating to London, Vangelis established his own state-of-the-art recording studio, producing a steady flow of recordings including 1975's Heaven and Hell, 1976's Albedo 0.39, 1977's Spiral and 1978's Beaubourg. Teaming with Anderson under the name Jon and Vangelis, he also scored a series of UK hits including 1980's "I Hear You Now" and the following year's "I'll Find My Way Home."

Vangelis' international commercial breakthrough followed in 1982, when his score to Chariots of Fire earned the film one of its many Academy Awards; its theme song even cracked the Top Ten on the U.S. pop charts. That same year, he also created the powerful score to the cult classic Blade Runner, the beginning of a partnership with director Ridley Scott which also yielded soundtracks to films including 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Vangelis also composed the music for a number of Jacques Cousteau documentaries in addition to maintaining his flourishing solo career, issuing acclaimed LPs including 1985's The Mask, 1988's Antarctica and 1990's The City. In 1992, he was awarded the Chevalier Order of Arts and Letters, one of France's most prestigious honors. El Greco followed in 1998. — Jason Ankeny
