JESSE'S LAND ~胡鹽亂語

         最近看了SURVIVE STYLE5+(中譯:變態五星級或殺妻俱樂部)，2004年的日本電影，屬於奇幻古怪類型，內容是由5個小故事穿插組成，第一個故事是描寫一個男子每天都在重複殺妻埋屍，因為他的妻子總是一再的復活(後期還因死法，復活後會附加屬性?!)。第二個故事是描寫一個常常會有突發廣告靈感的女製作(超瞎的想發)和一個早洩的催眠師。第三個故事是一個還有一點錢的溫馨家庭，在老爸被催眠變成一隻鳥之後，家庭親子間關係的變化(還蠻感人的)。第四個故事，三個愚蠢的小偷，其中兩位漸漸衍生出超友誼的情誼(配樂超搭的阿)，第五個故事，是愛問別人”你的任務是什麼”的倫敦殺手，和一個只會翻譯的殺手中介人。整部電影拍的蠻緊湊的，故事的穿插也很流暢，而它的配樂更是搭配的天衣無縫。

         所以這次介紹下電影片尾的音樂─I Will Survive，原唱是1979年的Gloria Gaynor，整首歌可以說是女性對舊情人的分手宣言，沒有你我還是可以活下去，可以愛別人。而這部電影收錄的，則是美國搖滾團體CAKE的翻唱改編的作品，放慢了音樂速度，由原本的女聲，改為主唱John McCrea的男聲，重新詮釋了這首歌曲的味道，情傷悲痛的感覺更勝原唱一籌，這也成了CAKE著名的翻唱改編暢銷金曲。

Cake - I Will Survive 

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along. 
And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking lock.
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me. 

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I. 

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive. I will survive. 
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high. 

And you'll see me with somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you.
And so you thought you'd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me. 

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I. 

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive. I will survive.
