Honey and the Bee - Owl City



Honey and the Bee

Don't remind me
That some days I'm the windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug
These cold iron rails
Leave old mossy trails
Through the countryside
The crow and the bean field
All my best friends, but boy I need a hug
(Boy I need a hug)





'Cause my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive

If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
Who knew the other side could be so green

Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
'Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me and flicker out
I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah, I didn't look, I didn't even try

But still my heart stops without you
'Cause There's something about you
That makes me feel alive

If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
Who knew the other side could be so green

We are honey and the bee

Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you like bees to honey
Let's up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea

I swear!
There's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
Yeah, I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
To be suddenly bloomed
I knew
I'd always love you

Oh, I'll always love you too

If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
Who knew the other side could be so green

If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
Who knew the other side could be so green

If I reached for your hand for the rest of my life
Who knew the other side could be so green 




Owl City  是我近期以來非常喜歡的一個樂團
最有名的一首歌應該就是Fireflies
我也是從那時候開始注意 
然後愛上Adam Young的音樂
雖然有可能有些人會覺得 這就是很普通的電子音樂
但不知道為什麼 
音樂裡充滿的奇幻色彩 加上既華麗又貼近生活的歌詞
每次一邊聽著他們的音樂 
在開車回家的路上 就會有股突然遠離這世俗的迷幻感

相當抽象吧(笑)

他們截至目前有三張專輯
Maybe I'm Dreaming (2008); Ocean Eyes (2009)
加上最近發行的All Things Bright and Beautiful (2011)
除了在這篇新專輯的Honey and the Bee之外
我自己私心的也很推薦 
Super Honeymoon  (Maybe I'm Dreaming)
The Saltwater Room (Maybe I'm Dreaming)
Dear Vienna (Maybe I'm Dreaming)
Hello Seattle (Ocean Eyes)
Umbrella Beach (Ocean Eyes)
忘了說 
這張專輯的Deer in the Headlights (All Things Bright and Beautiful) 也很棒!


說到這裡不自覺就覺得心裡有股掩不住的小小興奮
因為...下個禮拜就要去Toronto聽他們的演唱會了! 
希望在這充滿畢業壓力的氛圍下
能暫時逃離一個晚上 倘佯在Owl City的音樂裡囉

欉康

這個標題的準確唸法就是ㄘㄨㄥˋ  ㄎㄤ 翻成國語近似於被"擺了一道"的意思 用國語講被擺了一道,有可能就是雙手一攤無奈狀 但用台語形容時,通常都會加上 "X的,我被欉康了!" 沒錯,本小姐今天被欉康了! 而且還是被不會講欉康這兩個字的老外欉康了! 公司裡另一個團隊的美國大叔 話說我前幾次見到他,就令我聯想到我碩士班的AB直屬學長 體型是典型的美國胖胖叔,總是會從他的辦公室聽到一些華而不實的形容詞 以及喜歡跟別人交際卻不知是不是真心的態度 (不過話說美國人在這種表裡不一的方面,一直都是做得很好) 前陣子由於新的專案下來以及時間的緊迫性  我被派去支援那美國大叔團隊的 Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) 由於之前我和我剛去生產的老闆,也協力完成過類似的胰島素的實驗方法開發 所以理論上應該是相當駕輕就熟 沒想到這次由美國大叔設計的實驗,不但做過的人每個都"稱讚" 實驗的變動性和敏感性也是異常的"好" 我就在昔日大學輸送老師最喜歡的 Try and error 當中 連續度過了兩個沒有什麼生產力的星期  這樣子的疲勞轟炸,加上精神的摧殘 我實在是找不到究竟是什麼原因,我無法將對照實驗組做好 讓我覺得完全失去信心,彷彿又回到昔日蛋白質無法純化出來的惡夢 (但這又更糟,因為我有領薪水的壓力...)

Water Bike

這個週末Buffalo的氣溫"好不容易"邁入了華氏九十度大關 (相當於32.2度C) 對於這個以寒冷有名 歷史紀錄上還沒有超過一百度的小鎮 可以稱得上終於有炎炎夏日了

人事大變動

這半年來部門組合大為變動 大老闆找到了第二春也退休去小島買了房子 空降了一個看起來甚為嚴格(似乎是猶太人)的新老闆 今天也得知一直以來教我很多的賓州土生土長美國女生 也轉去其他小部門跟了一個潛力中階主管 和隔壁走廊的石姐姐談了起來有個結論 有野心但沒有博士學歷的美國人 如果幾年下來在部門裡沒有往上升遷到主管階層 就會轉往其他管理部門或者別的藥廠發展 相對起來亞洲人就相對保守許多 絕大部分也是因為語言的關係 又也多半有博士學歷 倒也就也留在研發技術部門裡當小主管
