狂想金樂園

　　明天就是聖誕夜了，小弟提前在此謹祝各位舊雨新知聖誕快樂，有空歡迎常來串串門子！

　　點播一首Dan Fogelberg(還真難拼)的Same Auld lang syne，歌詞是描寫在聖誕夜巧遇舊情人，兩人從陌生又回到熟悉，最後又互相告別的故事，我覺得還滿溫馨感人的。

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods and I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first but then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment as the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two but couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store and we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man but she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her and that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores and that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence, another auld lang syne

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired and running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school and felt that old familiar pain

And as I turned to make my way back home the snow turned in to rain

　　又是題外話，多年前的某個聖誕夜，我原本要和一個女孩一起去看當年的年度大片「鐵達尼號」。

　　那天晚上公司有舉辦戶外的聖誕晚會，大家吃吃喝喝的那種。

　　晚上八點多，大夥微醺之際，我悄悄離席溜回寢室，背上事前準備好的背包，趕到機場搭上最後一班飛回台北的班機。

　　我本以為飛機起飛的瞬間，我的眼淚就會流下來了，但是沒有，因為上飛機時發現，有一個同事與我搭同一班飛機，於是我忍住了。

　　或許當時有同事以為我溜掉是去找她了，但並不是。

　　我和她在前一天有了一些爭執，她一氣之下與其他人調班，所以她那天晚上是在值班；她寧可連上48小時的班，也不願在聖誕夜跟我去看電影……

　　就在聖誕夜的前一天，我發現原來我和她的距離，已比陌生人更遙遠了……

　　再點播另一首由沈文程作詞作曲，沈文程與張瀛仁演唱的「舊情也綿綿」：

有聽別人在提起，妳的生活過得並不如意
雖然我們已經分開，對妳還是會來關心
漂泊的男兒，多情的玫瑰，為何受命運來捉弄

希望你不要來失志，人生本來就是一齣戲
世間無永遠的富貴，也無永遠紅的花蕊
青春少年時，就像眼一眨，只有在夢中再相見

啊～想要安慰著妳

啊～不知你在哪裡
今夜又是下著小雨的夜晚，想舊情也綿綿

　　歌詞中兩人究竟是有沒有再見面？好像作者也無意說明白……

　　夢中再相見的，究竟是青春？還是青春時的情人？

　　雖然也想知道她的近況，雖然仍關心她，但卻已無從找起……

　　尤其在下著雨的寒冷夜裡，想舊情也綿綿……

　　聖誕夜或任何夜重遇舊情人，對我來說都不期待，重遇舊情人，應該會像歌詞中大吃一驚，然後再來一段腦子完全空白……

　　往事，就留在回憶中；再遇上舊情人，也不知該說些什麼，還不如不遇，聽歌幻想一下就好了！

　　祝福每位朋友Merry Christmas & Happy New Year～
