拉斯維加斯之旅：被洗腦了

這篇算舊文復刻，我今年一月在拉斯維加斯參加CCNC會議時，每天都為了觀摩在Strip大道上兩側的賭場會來回步行好幾趟。由於投宿旅館位置的關係，幾乎必定會經過Fashion Show Mall。可能適逢iPod nano-chromatic推廣期，Fahsion Show Mall門前廣場掛著的巨型電子看板像是沒有其他廣告可以播放似的，一直重複播著iPod的廣告。每次只要靠近那裡，遠遠的就可以聽到Chairlift的Bruises (iPod廣告曲，意為瘀青，又暗指感情受挫)響起。

說實話，這歌曲實在好聽得緊，即使我已經被這廣告音樂連續轟炸了好幾天，依然還是喜歡這種慵懶又帶點可愛的歌聲。返回旅館上網搜尋了一下歌詞，讓我對於這首歌曲的喜愛又再度的加深了。歌詞能夠調皮的暗喻出情感的挫傷，又不會過份油膩而像是無痛呻吟似的，反而更令我喜歡。

Chairlift - Bruises Lyrics

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell you on yeah every time I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But every time I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you

I tried to do handstands for you

Every time I fell on you yeah every time I fell
I tried to do handstands but every time I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for

You-ooo etc…
For you-ooo etc…
So black and blue-oooo etc…

I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruisy knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruisy knees,
Hot July ain’t good to me
I’m pink and black and blue

I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for

Chorus
You-ooo etc…
For you-ooo etc….
So black and blue-ooo etc…
