Sting十二月來港﹐可惜身邊竟沒有人對他有興趣﹐看來我可能要一個人要享受這個音樂盛宴。
幾年前在一個下雨夜﹐電台播他的《Fragile》﹐英文版之後再播葡語版﹐我深深被那結他和弦感動﹐放下手上的工作﹐靜靜聽完這首歌。(以前也曾有類似的震撼式的共鳴﹐玉置浩二的《李香蘭》﹐感覺是歌聲穿過透明藍色玻璃的﹔羅大佑的《閃亮的日子》﹐那樸素的笛聲把我心魂攝著良久不能返來﹔巴哈的《Air on G String》﹐我當時在一間古老的學院上跳舞課﹐課前的熱身就是這曲﹐不過我是多年之後才知道它的名字﹐我記得美國西北的陽光溫柔地穿透木窗﹐洒在地上一片金黃﹐微塵輕輕地隨音符飛舞著﹐課室外高聳的松杉的獨有香味瀰漫四周﹐真是美呆了。)對於所有為人類創造更美好的精神生活的藝術家﹐我都給予最高的謝意。
接著我在youtube找到Sting其他的名曲。他原來多才多藝﹐作曲之餘還填詞﹐只看歌詞已是享受。我喜愛的包括﹕《Moon Over Burbon Street》, 《Shape of My Heart》, 《Englishman in New York》, 《It's Probably Me》, 《Fragile》....看來真的要去買票了。

"Shape Of My Heart" (Cover song for Leon the Professional movie)
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
*I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
