初秋-The Drugs Don't Work-The Verve－Oxtrack牛步音樂

最近終於有秋天的感覺了。

在這樣寧靜又沁涼的夜晚適合聽甚麼音樂呢？

我想到了The Verve...

我並不算很喜歡Verve，除了眾所皆知的Bitter Sweet Symphony以外（去搜尋一下，大家應該多多少少都聽過。）這首算是我印象最深的歌曲。

在當年那個每天要騎車上山的日子裡，我囫圇吞棗式的塞了近千首歌在I-Pod中（順帶一提，那個I-Pod至今依然使用中），總是隨機撥放。自己也不知道下一首會聽到什麼歌的感覺很有趣。

我私心認為，騎車、搭車，或走路的時候比較適合這樣聽音樂，開車或是在家還是整張專輯聽比較好。當然這不是重點。

長時間下來，總是會有音樂與情境巧妙結合的時候，而那每次都能讓我感動。

某個秋天的午後我在仰德大道上騎過一個大彎，陽光透過樹葉間的隙縫灑在地上、車上與身上，栩栩吹來慵懶的涼風讓我昏昏欲睡，此時耳機中正播放著這首歌。

就如同發生過很多次的其他情境一樣，那瞬間我一直都記得。

當然歌詞跟秋天沒有半點關係。

大概就是說一個失戀的傢伙發現嗑藥並不會讓他忘了舊情人，然後最後還要用不斷重複的碎碎念試圖振作的故事。

不管歌詞的話很適合在這樣舒服的夜晚邊發呆邊聽。

尤其是在假日過後的第一個上班日的夜晚！（當然對於這個我無甚感觸）

附上歌詞

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
