RAPH 看似自然、實則不然

< Once >並沒有高潮迭起的劇情，也沒有強烈對比的特效，它平凡的就像會發生在你我生命中的ㄧ段插曲，沒有結局但有時半夜起身ㄧ個人坐在床上回憶時，心頭還會暖暖的小故事。音樂本身不需要太多的修飾，音樂的本質就可以穿透人心。即使男主角(Guy)手上不過是把破舊的吉他，卻能感動許多寂寞的心靈。


《once》這部電影，由愛爾蘭搖滾樂團《The Frames》的前貝斯手
約翰•卡尼編導，《The Frames》主唱與吉他手葛倫•漢瑟和捷克
女歌手瑪琪塔•伊葛洛瓦主演。故事裡面完全沒有提到男女主角的
在電影中的姓名。葛倫•漢瑟飾演的男子是一位都柏林的街頭藝人，
一方面也幫忙父親的商店修理吸塵器。 瑪琪塔•伊葛洛瓦飾演的
女子是捷克移民，在都柏林賣花維生，然而她不放棄對古典音樂與
鋼琴的喜愛，每天中午在好心的樂器行老闆的店裡頭彈奏一小時的
piano。某天兩人在都柏林的街頭邂逅，起因於女孩被男孩在街頭
深情的演唱給吸引住了，女孩問她這首歌是為誰寫的，男孩告訴她
沒有為誰，女孩卻看穿了他的謊話…

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
