Pure Imagination

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

当我在听The Frames在2002年《Star Star》Live版本时,听到中间有一段特别感动。

Close your eyes
Count to three
Make a wish

[Sung]
Come with me
And we’ll be
In a world of
Pure imagination

做了一番调查之后,才知道原来这段是取自1971年的Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory里Gene Wilder唱的《Pure Imagination》。The Frames把这首歌和《Star Star》混合得很棒,常常在深夜时听这首歌都想飙泪。

在youtube找到了宝贵的Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory片段,和The Frames比较别有一番风味。在网络上听了不同版本的《Pure Imagination》,最后还是只喜欢The Frames的那一小段和Gene Wilder在电影里唱的。

Willy Wonka:
[Spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls:
The Chocolate Factory

Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three

[Sung]
Come with me
And you’ll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you’ll see
Into your imagination

We’l begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we’ll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There’s nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You’ll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There’s nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You´ll be free
If you truly
Wish to be

有难过吗?

还是很喜欢Damien Rice的歌,百听不厌。

Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what’s going on in your mind
‘Cause I don’t understand these people
Who say the hill’s too steep
Well, they talk and talk forever
But they just never climb

—— Damien Rice《I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For》

每次当其他人说一件东西很难时,奉劝我不要去做,我还是相信自己去做。当完成时,我就会沉思,有难过吗?他们没试过,只是一味觉得难。

那个段落的原唱者是The Frames,原曲是《Star Star》。
