Do You Remember -----by Jack Johnson

Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: In Between Dreams
Song: Do You Remember

Do you remember when we first met I sure do
It was some time In early September
Though you were lazy about it
You made me wait around
I was so crazy about you I didn't mind
So I was late for class
I locked my bike to yours
It wasn't hard to find
Your painted flowers oh
Guess that I was afraid
That if you rode away
You might not roll back
My direction real soon
Well I was crazy about you then
And now the craziest thing of all
Over 10 years have gone by
And your still mine
Locked in time Lets rewind
Do you remember
When we first moved in together
The piano took up the living room
You'd play me boogie woogie
I played you love songs
You'd say we're playing house
Now you still say we are
We build our get away
Up in a tree we found
We felt so far away
Though we were still in town
I remember watching
That old tree burn down
I took a picture that I don't like to look at
Well all these times
They come and go
Along don't seem so long
Over 10 years have gone by
We cant rewind We're locked in time
But your still mine
Do you remember?

原本是Composition 課堂上的聽寫作業，沒想到聽幾次之後，雖然還是沒辦法完全寫完整首，不過卻對這樣輕鬆單純的旋律和聲音有了深刻印象！回來後立刻上孤狗查了一下相關資料，原來果然是我少見多怪！
人家老早就紅遍半邊天啦！！

以下摘自博客來音樂館--
全球樂評滿潮推薦
權威音樂網站AMG專文推薦「簡單的空心吉他搭配溫煦柔和的嗓音，讓人感覺輕鬆而舒適…」
Popmatters「感謝上帝我們有Jack Johnson」
Drowned In Sound「夏日最佳原聲帶」
New York Times「熱帶微風般溫暖輕拂，讓人忘記身在何處」
Uncut「這些慵懶的樂音非常適合日落時分的海灘，微醺或是嗑了點藥」

　　命運是很奇妙的，就跟海邊的浪潮一樣，不知不覺地會把人推到新的方向。從小在夏威夷長大，傑克強森會走路的時候也會衝浪，17歲的時候他已經是衝浪界的天才，以最年輕的年紀揚名於世界級衝浪大賽(Pipeline Masters)，正當體壇將他鎖定成海灘明日之星，比賽後一個月，傑克強森在衝浪時發生嚴重意外，臉上縫了150針(但不影響他俊俏的外貌)，讓他整整三個月無法出門，卻也給了他三個月抱著吉他、創作音樂的時光；但是傑克強森並沒有一股作氣成為創作歌手，18歲的他選擇到加州大學唸電影，99年導演並且擔任電影配樂完成了衝浪電影「Thicker Than Water」，初執導演筒的他，贏得各影展最佳導演等大獎，眼見著傑克強森就要加入電影界，新的一波浪潮卻迎面來襲；傑克自彈自唱的歌曲，早期就被衝浪巨星們作成卡帶複製流傳，命運的浪潮意外的把卡帶輾轉流傳到唱片公司老闆的手上…2005年的今天，傑克強森，這個海灘男孩，不只是衝浪天才、不只是得獎導演、他是全球銷量300萬張的創作才子。

其實，除了簡單、輕鬆的曲風，這首Do you remember 的歌詞也可算是小品佳作！
有一點淡淡的哀傷，就如同歌名一般容易讓人陷入回憶，也許剛好適合拿來安慰最近心情失望或低落的人們，希望聽著我為你們點的歌，可以想起過去一起經歷過的點點滴滴，再回頭看看眼前的難關，或許就不會那麼難過了，衷心希望能安慰需要安慰的人們！
