某夙的心得雜草叢

這是碧玉(Bjork)收錄在2007出的《Volta》專輯中的歌。

歌詞中譯和相關介紹在blog.roodo.com/judie35/archives/3576269.html這裡有基本資訊。

說真的，聽這首歌的時候真的會隨著Bjork的"higher, higher"的歌聲，有一種熱血沸騰的感覺。
Bjork的歌剛聽的時候雖然有些難入耳，不過聽久了，真的會聽出滋味。是很有魄力和謎樣魅力的歌手。
不過到現在，我如果晚上睡覺時邊聽Bjork的歌，還是常常會被嚇醒或作不舒服的夢....─ ─"
對我而言，她的歌還是要在神清氣爽的時候聽比較適合啊。

記得電影《在黑暗中漫舞》中，Bjork每次要開始唱歌，就會先出現一陣刺耳的像是call in電台的人沒關收音機發出的共鳴(?)聲。超有氣氛的。不過對我這種對尖銳刺耳聲過敏的人而言，真的很折磨。
那時候是在英美週的電影馬拉松時看的吧，三更半夜裡一群人擠在文學院某間教室中看這部電影，每次Bjork有要開始唱歌的跡象時，最靠近喇叭的那位學長(我記得是英美系的小白！)，就要趕快把喇叭音量調小聲，等過了那段刺耳前奏再轉回原本音量，而我則是急忙摀住耳朵....現在回想起來，真是有趣的經驗。

國中逛唱片行的時候，看到Bjork的專輯封面都作得很有風格，超想買，每次都因為太貴作罷....
現在，哦，感謝暗黑的力量，雖然我多少還是心有不安，不過聽歌聽得很開心orz

以下貼一下Declare Independence的原文歌詞好了。
