最愛Ella ＆ Louis 1

我愛聽爵士。

聽爵士與懂爵士其實是兩回事，我只是屬於聽爵士的那一種人，對爵士的來由、故事不見得有許多深入的了解，不過，我十分鐘情於在生活中有爵士的陪伴（咖啡與爵士的愛戀），生活在爵士之間多了許多柔性呼喚與調適的空間。

四、五年前買的The Complete Ella ＆ Louis on Verve，是我心情不好或亟需放鬆的時候常拿出來播放的一組，這首綠色奇蹟中出現的Cheek To Cheek最為可愛，Ella 與 Louis兩人皆具強烈的節奏感及喜樂感染力，讓聆聽其演唱的人皆能夠感受兩人強韌的生命力，你也許也可以像我ㄧ樣，一邊舞動著久未活動的身軀，一邊在深夜時分為自己醞釀一整晚的浪漫。

Cheek To Cheek       Disc One Track 9

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven

I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
