每次到西門町就會進去玫瑰唱片
每次進去玫瑰唱片 就很想買CD...

今晚買了BLACK EYED PEAS的MONKEY BUSINESS
認識BLACK EYED PEAS是因為去年寒假在日本買了「美好時光timeless」的關係
後來去年買過「放克大象」 但沒有預期的那麼好聽
它也沒有不好 可能我對它抱持太大的期待
所以有一點點失望
(其實網路上看到的對「放克大象」和「MONKEY BUSINESS」的評價差不多)

不過這次買的「MONKEY BUSINESS」還滿好聽
也許真的喜歡聽嘻哈音樂的人會嫌棄它也不一定
但對「不懂真正的嘻哈音樂是什麼」的我來說
比較容易接受它
我比較喜歡簡單易懂的
不太喜歡阿姆那種複雜的、似乎更需要欣賞能力的嘻哈音樂

如果妳/你常常走公館或西門町
妳/你可能聽過「Pump It」和「My Humps」
除了這兩首在台北街頭常常聽到的歌曲之外
其他的歌曲也蠻容易接受(我個人覺得啦)

跟「放克大象」比較起來
我還是推薦大家選擇 「MONKEY BUSINESS」喔!

我蠻喜歡”Union”：

[Chorus]
(One for all, one for all)
(It’s all it’s all for one)
Let’s start a union, calling every human
It’s one for all and all for one
Let’s live in unison, calling every citizen
It’s one for all and all for one

We don’t want war- can’t take no more
It’s drastic time for sure
We need an antidote and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohammed got a problem with Jehovah
We don’t want war – imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think they’d view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still live in primitive today
Coz the peace in the destination of war can’t be the way
There’s no way, so people just be a woman, be a man
Realize that you can’t change the world by changing yourself
And understand that we’re all just the same
So when I count to three let’s change

[Chorus]

Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What you’re saying is the truth, but really troubles me inside
I’d change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears

[Chorus]

I don’t know, y’all, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion
Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?
Why do we keep killing each other, what’s the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonise together in this mission
Listen, I know it’s really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilising all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I don’t understand why it’s never been done
So let’s change on the count of one

It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let’s change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing

[Chorus]

我去年過年的時候很喜歡聽Sergio Mendes的「美好時光 (Timeless)」
不過我去年聽過太多次了
現在偶而聽部分歌曲還好
但不想在咖啡廳聽到
如果那家咖啡聽一直播放這專輯的歌
我會抓狂...
