這幾年收音機裏經常放這首很紅的流行歌: Memories, by Maroon 5. 可昨天才發現這其實“借用”了近200年前的Pachelbel Canon in D. 這種真給人a sense of wonder,覺得生命的奇妙和浩瀚。
“Dropping the key out of D to a B and leaving out the fiddly bits of the melody does not disguise the fact this is a DIRECT lift from Canon in D. The chord progression and simplified melody are identical.”

Pachelbel's Canon in D -- 聽過無數版本, 總是回到這個版本。 這個版本每次才讓人聽後覺得心頭猶如蝴蝶翅膀觸摸過,既有悵然若失的酸痛,更有let it be的釋然。
