【流行音樂】John Legend - All Of Me
[Verse]
What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
[Bridge]
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Chorus]
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
[Verse]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you
[Bridge]
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Chorus]
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you,oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
[Chorus]
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohh

“given” 一詞常見的用法有以下二種:
(1.)
given 用在假設語氣的句子中,意指「若有…」或「假設…」。
注意句子主詞和 given 那一句的主詞保持一致。
例句:若照顧得宜,蘭花將可擁有持久的賞花期。

例句:若再給我第二次機會,我將不會犯同樣的錯誤。
Given a second chance, I won’t make the same mistakes.

「given + N」或「given that + S + V」意指「考慮到…;有鑒於…」
例句:有鑑於農曆新年即將到來,這裡有些送禮的好點子。
Given that Chinese New Year is coming, here are some great gift ideas. Given the approaching Chinese New Year, here are some great gift ideas.
例句:考慮到他缺乏經驗,他的表現已經很不錯了。
Given that he is inexperienced, he has done an excellent job. Given his lack of experience, he has done an excellent job.

【抒情音樂】Richard Marx - Now & Forever
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now & Forever,
I will be your man
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That Heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now & Forever,
I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone, anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time,
All this time.
Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now & Forever
I will be your man
Now & Forever,
I will be your man

【電影】STOKER 慾謀
這部電影裡兩首喜愛的歌。
1. 1967年 Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood 原唱版 - Summer Wine
Lana Del Rey翻唱 - Summer Wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh, summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm, summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
2. 還有片尾的這首 Becomes the Color
I became the color
I become the daughter and the son
When the feast is over
welcome to another one
Lay my body down down
Down upon the water
Wrapped up in the clothes of my mother and my father
Oh this is longing
I want to be complete
I was waiting round in a little jump seat
I--I had a hunger
A mouthful of interludes
You'll do anything just to get rescued
I had longing, isn't that the key
Take take taste taste taste sweet
They said I'd gone south
Said I'd gone asunder
They don't know hunger or what I been under
They were all laughing
Thought I was debris
I was just free
We were ready to behave
But there's no freedom
Without no cage
Whatever you think you've become
Don't worry bout it dear it's where you come from
Oh no no
Take me from my misery
There's no such thing as living comfortably
There's no such thing as going home
I'm not formed of myself alone
All the other others, they just fade to black
When you think you have me is when I don't look back
Keep on laughing, calling after me
Keep on laughing, I'm just free
We were ready to behave
But there's no freedom
Without no cage
Whatever you think you've become
Don't worry bout it dear it's where you come from
(faintly)
We were ready to behave
But there's no freedom
Without no cage
Whatever you think you've become
Don't worry bout it dear it's where you come from.

【廣告音樂】Kingston金士頓 2013年度廣告 A Memory to Remember
《It Was May》
詞 / 蔡柏璋 曲 / Annie
It was a tuesday morning in May and as I awoke
I saw the sun against your dear face
It was the years lovely smile
The breeze was fresh and throughout the garden linger the sense of roses
It was may and I cannot forget that we sang together
The more time passes the more I remember
The air was fresh and the song so sweet
Oh it was may, it was may
You sang the love of my heart, the love of my heart
You are going far away, you are leaving me
And I was count the hours when were you return?
Without doubt I say, I will return when the roses bloom again
And I sang the love of my heart, the love of my heart
You are going far away, you are leaving me
And I will count the hours when were you return
And you say, I will return when I hear your voice again
I will return as promise when the roses bloom again
