當年正值十五歲,一個青澀懵懂的年少歲月,卻因聯考而被壓的喘不過氣來,而排解心中鬱悶心情的就是排球和音樂。在學校,大部分時間是緊繃無聊的,面對上不完的課考不完的試,但是每當課後一有空閒時間,總是和三兩同學們約好到球場打排球,甚至跟隔壁班同學一起切磋球技,不管打的好壞如何,但是那種和大家一起叫著笑著,揮著汗水開心打球的心情,是難以形容的,而和好友們打球的歡笑情景,在苦澀的國中歲月留下一段難以忘懷的記憶。


音樂則是回家後的精神糧食,老實說我唸書時,一向是要聽音樂的,如果切掉音樂反而就沒辦法專心了。因為國中同學的關係,讓我有機會認識許多相當棒的西洋歌手,也聽了許多經典又好聽的西洋音樂。在國二的某天深夜,睡不著覺的我開著CD隨身聽,耳邊隨即傳來高昂的男聲及群眾的歡呼聲,這一首演唱會上錄製而成的經點歌曲「Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me」,令我驚豔不已,因此,我才認識了Elton John和George Michael兩位才華洋溢的英國歌手。總是在半夜時聽這首歌,最有感覺,有些悲傷、抒發的激昂唱腔,能夠撫慰稍有不適的心情,兩位才子的合作,更豐富了整首歌曲的音樂表現。我永遠忘不了那晚,如獲甘霖般地喜悅,耳邊反覆聽著「Don't let the sun go down on me, yeah. Although I search myself...」他,啟蒙了我對音樂的喜愛與熱情。

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

S : Elton John

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John!"

I can't find oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me (baby, no) just because you think I mean you har.
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal.

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, baby, oh
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

"Mr. Elton John!"
