後來
詞：施人誠 曲：玉城千春（日本） 編曲：王繼康

後來　我總算學會了 如何去愛　
可惜你 早已遠去　消失在人海
後來　終於在眼淚中明白　
有些人　一旦錯過就不再

梔子花 白花瓣　落在我藍色百褶裙上
愛你　你輕聲說　我低下頭聞見一陣芬芳
那個永恆的夜晚　十七歲仲夏　你吻我的那個夜晚
讓我往後的時光　每當有感嘆　總想起當天的星光

那時候的愛情　為什麼就能那樣簡單
而又是為什麼　人年少時　一定要讓深愛的人受傷
在這相似的深夜裡　你是否一樣　也在靜靜追悔感傷
如果當時我們能　不那麼倔強　現在也不那麼遺憾

你都如何回憶我　帶著笑或是很沉默
這些年來　有沒有人能讓你不寂寞

永遠不會再重來　有一個男孩　愛著那個女孩

Music videos - 心的祈祷 - 臧天朔 / 张行

歌词：

心的祈祷
作曲：臧天朔
作词：黄小茂（主持人李静的老公，华纳前总监）
--------
我祈祷 那没有痛苦的爱
却难止住泪流多少
我祈祷 忘记已离去的你
却又唱起 你教的歌谣
我没有怨你
我心里知道 我知道
我祈祷 留下孤独的我
走向天涯 走向海角
我祈祷 带上无言的爱
从此失去心里的笑
我与影同行
我心里知道 我知道
----
我知道 天涯路漫漫
我还要去 海角遥遥
我知道 失去的是什么
我又启程 却不是寻找
我心里明了
我心里知道 我知道
我像那一支火鸟
无声地燃烧
我要唱那 那一首歌谣
伴我天涯海角
----

黄小茂的词好，臧天朔的曲好！

Music videos - Greensleeves - The Brothers Four

"Greensleeves" is a traditional English folk song which appeared in the late 16th century.

Lyrics:

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have courted you so long,
Delighting in your company.

Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves, my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

So, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
May good fortune prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Oh, come once again and love me.

By the way, what a deeply sad and gentle irony it is "Greensleeves, my heart of gold".

The late Michael Jackson, King of Pop, also had a song called "Paparazzi" around one decade ago, if I remember its name correctly. Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga both are quarry in the eyes of entertainment media. How sad.

"
Riverdance was first performed during the 7-minute interval of the Eurovision Song Contest at the Point Theatre, Dublin on 30 April 1994. It received a standing ovation. Later that year, the BBC commissioned a repeat performance of the act for the 1994 Royal Variety Show, when it was introduced on stage by Sir Terry Wogan. At Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest it was named as one of the most popular interval acts in the history of the contest.

Music video - Go no more a-roving - Joan Baez

Lyrics (Actually it's a poem "We'll go no more a-roving" by Lord Byron):

Arthur Quiller-Couch, ed. 1919. The Oxford Book of English Verse: 1250–1900.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron. 1788–1824

599. We'll go no more a-roving 

SO, we'll go no more a-roving
  So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
  And the moon be still as bright. 

For the sword outwears its sheath,         5
  And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
  And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
  And the day returns too soon,              10
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
  By the light of the moon.

Music video - Jason Mraz - Bella Luna

This particular song appeared in Jason Mraz' 2005 album, "Mr. A-Z".

Lyrics:


"Bella Luna"

Mystery the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full but often right
A pair of eyes, a closin' one,
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

A cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellation
No riffs and oh, no reservation.
If they should fall you get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
Oh bella bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do what you do
Do do do do do

You are an illuminating anchor
Of leagues to infinite number
Crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring ya
Is the language of a lover
Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I
A larger chance happened, all them they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do what you do
Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

Music video - Jason Mraz - I'm Yours (Live)

Lyrics:

I'm Yours

Well you done done me
and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill
but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me
but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind
and see like me
Open up your plans
and damn, you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment
people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right
to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long
checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards
just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what I'll be saying is
there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and
just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

Well open up your mind
and see like me
Open up your plans
and damn, you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll find the sky is yours

Please don't, please don't,
please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This, oh this, oh this is our fate, I'm yours

Groove Coverage is a German band.

Lyrics:

7 years and 50 days
7 years and 50 days, the time is passing by
Nothing in this world can be as nice as you and I
And how could we break up like this?
And how could we be wrong?
So many years, so many days and I still sing my song 

Now I run to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream 

I return to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream Of you 

7 years and 50 days, now just look at me
Am I the girl I use to be
So damn what do you see?
And how could we break up like this?
And how could we be wrong?
So many years, so many days and I still sing my song 

Now I run to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream 

I return to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream Of you

Music video - 情人劫 - 老狼

Lyrics copied from http://goo.gl/Lp4NH and then corrected by me:

情人劫
作曲:郁冬    作词:郁冬

你就靠在地铁的站牌这么望着我
突然发现心中翻动一团未曾熄灭的火
很多朋友早已经走出我的生活
我所有的梦却只有你全都看过
记得我们分手那年你受了一点点委屈
今天我还不时琢磨那些点点滴滴
地铁列车接上所有的人匆匆驶过
霎时站台上就剩下我们两个
当你走后我终于知道
在你面前我在劫难逃
那些照片早已烧成了灰烬
可那些回忆怎么点也点不着
你的眼睛让我终于知道
你的怀抱让我在劫难逃
那些日子早已经无处寻找
可那些回忆跟着我奔跑
分手多年后我终于知道
再次相逢我在劫难逃
那些日子早已经无处寻找
可那些回忆跟着我奔跑
