And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

從愛爾蘭到歐洲的遊唱男孩...damien rice...嗯，不是男孩很久了吧....

當年的漂丿少年，如今也頂上稀疏，但在輕緩的歌聲中，看到的只是逆光的純真身影…

因為jude law所以 damien了

damien的the blower's daughter

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

the blower是誰？總之是吹奏某種樂器的人吧...有人煞有其事的說是"單簧管"，怎不直接說豎笛得了...有人說，找了老美考據，是豎琴....琴和笛差挺大....誰家的豎琴是用吹的???總之，總之，不會是某人說的，吹風機的女兒...吹風機不會有女兒....

不論是誰的女兒，都是個了不起的女人。拒絕的話，能說的這麼犀利。於是，阿斗小米憂傷了....流浪到歐洲...彈著吉他，唱著失戀的歌。愛爾蘭的風就這麼無情吹過，但小米的故事還在繼續...會有更多的好歌....

其實，更喜歡小米的加農砲

Stones taught me to fly  
Love taught me to lie   
Life taught me to die  
So it's not hard to fall   
When you float like a cannonball

原來，少爺喜愛的加農砲，有這層寓意。

在米先生的官方youtube上，有人評論：

 兩首都出自damien 2002出的第一張專輯"O"

1. delicate
2. volcano
3. the blower's daughter
4. cannonball
5. older chests
6. amie
7. cheers darlin'
8. cold water
9. i remember
10. eskimo
11. prague (hidden track)
12. silent night (hidden track)

《這不是跑題之吉他人》

聽damien總是想起bread，因為都是食物嗎？從小米到麵包？

youtube真是好地方，竟然有人傳1972年的影片....當年喜歡bread的時候只有cd聽，從沒看過他們唱歌的樣子....

The Guitar Man

Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show, you know baby it's the guitar man
He can make you love, he can make you cry
He will bring you down then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin' miles and miles a day
To find another place to play.
Night after night who treats you right, baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio, you go listen to the guitar man
Then he comes to town and you see his face
And you think you might like to take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play.

Then you listen to the music and you like to stay along
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song

Then you find yourself a message and some words
To call your own and take them home.

He can make you love, he can get you high
He will bring you down then he'll make you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin' but no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go.

Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
Another place to play, Anyway Got to play, anyway Got to play.

《承認是跑題之ost》

是不是很多電影的製作不夠力？沒能請到什麼人為電影量身打造氣勢磅礡的音樂…於是回頭在茫茫歌海中尋找搭配電影主題的歌來配一下樂？意外發現bread的guitar man出現在" maid in manhatan的ost list上。小米的the blower's daughter這樣，bread的the guitar man也這樣。

似乎該感謝有這麼多不給力的製作，讓一些人聽到一些好聽的歌？想the guitar man已經是幾十年前的老老歌了，也許因為mim，有些人跑唱片行去翻bread的老專輯吧？
