OTM #10 - The Universal - blur


另一首預言詩,也是繼《Coffee and TV》之後最喜歡的blur。

「This is the next century / Where the universal is free」,現今互聯網之強大,有什麼是不可能的?我們在YouTube找到了Rebecca Black、PSY、Justin Bieber、龍小菌各路英雄,在Facebook起到你老闆的底,在Wiki Leak爆到了各國不能說的秘密,在Google Map看到了全世界。

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone

剛才向媽子解釋SMS沒落的原因,還有Whatsapp跟LINE的分別,還有我的一個奇想:或許有天我們這個世界會回到沒有Facebook、只用電話的年代,因為現在的一切都太過火了,像這支MV的inspiration《Clockwork Orange》一樣,過火得雖然我知道是經典卻從來都突破不了開首5分鐘(好啦我知道是夾硬的tag),總要有個溫和一點的版本。

不過呢,這次blur來港,也應驗了這首歌的重唱部份:「It really, really, really could happen / Yes, it really, really, really could happen」

將來又會有多少神單位來開拉闊?將來我們又會不會可能像馬來西亞一樣,可以票選自己的將來?將來……既然20多年後blur再開也來了,還有什麼是不可能的?我相信總會有更多機會可以引用這句歌詞的。

This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Just let them go
