整理堆積如山的譜，無意中發現一本天鳴分享的成功高中合唱曲集。當時他給我的團做選曲參考，說之後碰面再還，豈料後來就沒機會拿回去。
看著他畫在上面的記號，以前一起討論音樂的點滴在腦海持續匯集，他當時還念台大不算音樂人，卻有著我那個年紀見識過最敏銳的音樂性及最乾淨清晰的指揮手勢。想著想著，忍不住盈眶的淚...他在天上也日日吟唱或聽著世間的和聲嗎？
紀念天鳴，無疑也是緬懷自己跟合唱結緣最深、投入最多，連睡覺都在練唱的美好歲月...所以，這首大概是我最愛卻一直沒機會唱的中文合唱曲，也算另一個遺憾～

Pipe Dreams （2019）
剛看完，很感動，也感受到每位參賽者的心路歷程，是部值得推薦的紀錄片。
個人覺得管風琴是所有樂器中最複雜難駕馭的，在國際競賽中更需要絕佳體能與心理素質，這還只是保證不出離譜錯誤的基本條件而已。
把極致的喜悅與哀傷等種種情緒轉由指尖去訴說、傳遞，無論是指揮還是哪一種樂器，都考驗著技巧、理性、感性與悟性，窮極一生努力也未必盡善盡美啊！

Donnie Darko 怵目驚魂28天（2001)
喜歡蟲洞、穿越時空之類的燒腦片，應該是從2010看Nolan的"Inception"(全面啟動)開始的，他的"Interstellar"(星際效應)大概是物理基礎最紮實的一部，沒想到這部2001的"Donnie Darko"走在更前面，且編導Richard Kelly當年才26歲(念南加大的他有位在美國NASA工作的父親，估計也是他的啟蒙者之一)，若能看出片中每個彩蛋背後的意義或要致敬的對象，就會同意Kelly蠻猛的，也會同意喜歡時空穿越的物理題材或習慣拆解隱喻的觀影者不該錯過這部佳作。
我認得Jake Gyllenhaal這位男主角是從他主演李安的「斷背山」（2005）開始。飾演這部片時他才二十來歲，劇中沒有人知道Donnie Darko夢遊經歷的情況下，他被視為患思覺失調症的青少年，也是滿口髒話又挑釁校方威權的屁孩。但為了破除預見28天後世界將毀滅的詛咒，他選擇犧牲自己生命來拯救所愛的人，還微笑著說任務完成要回家了--片尾躺在床上等著被飛機引擎砸死來扭轉未來...
最後這一幕配上的片尾曲，歌詞中有「垂死的夢竟是我做過最好的夢」...悲傷，竟能如此難喻。
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
