[love 60s 70s ！] 不願錯過的音樂

Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

[不願錯過的音樂場景1] ：很熟悉的曲子，卻一下說不出歌名， 陪孩子去GP候診室裏飄來非常60s的tune， 旁邊一位英國中年男人在搖頭換腦唱著，那一定是他年輕時喜歡的歌，唱得那麽目中無人，不行，要去打攪他一下， 記下歌名，不願意讓美樂就這麽溜走。
《海，請問這歌名是什麽？ 》，他愣一下， 馬上堆起笑容告訴我， 管他怎麽想，反正俺是老外，不懂也不能裝懂。

[不願錯過的音樂場景2] 去超市采購，旁邊一位拉美年輕人風風火火地唰一聲停車在我的車旁，車上傳來節奏感很強的Regga 音樂。
《海，你的音樂很好聽啊》，
《你很喜歡？ 》，他說，帶著很重的牙買加口音
《喜歡啊，從沒有聽到這麽好聽的擂鬼》，　俺補充

《這樣吧，我是超市的保安，你明天這個時候來超市給你這些音樂》他說，《不麻煩你吧？》俺故意說， 其實就是想麻煩，他說《米有米有啦》， 還是那麽牙買加風味，亞非拉兄弟就是豪爽，第二天去，我去遲了沒碰上他，他讓保安同事轉交我音樂，　我留下一盒餅幹表示謝謝，　禮性不是很對等啊，沒關係了，反正俺們都是老外。

這首歌常在巴黎街頭商店聽到，今天才知道歌的大名，算是海外多年生活的背景音樂之一吧。

錯過一片天空，眾多雲彩，就是不願意錯過好聽的音樂，音樂是人生的摯友， 謝謝一路走來碰到的音樂和音樂護花者
