【音】Midnight Train to Georgia

這是我很喜歡的一個美國影集：「慾望之都」其中某一集的配樂。







(建議一邊播放一邊閱讀喔  ^^)







深夜轉著電視剛好瞥見一小段，訝異的發現似乎已經演到了結局，劇中的最佳搭檔小組終於要走向自己的路。



連續一串畫面下來大概是這樣發生：





action1：本來有機會在一起的男女彼此之間存在著無法妥協的鴻溝。男人以事業為重的決定讓同樣精明幹練的女人不得不無奈轉頭。



action2：父親告訴養女她其實還有個親妹妹，並回憶敘述起當年她生父的過往，希望她能體諒旁人以為是的保護的保護。



                 矛盾與疑惑滿腹，忍不住心緒的女還趕赴最後一班前往倫敦的班機。



action3：一對有過短暫婚約的情侶終究難逃離散。男人沒送她最後一程，只看著她晃過一個又一個的監視器畫面，終至消失在螢幕



                 之外。女人在被接上追求者的私人飛機那一刻，回頭望了望從未離開過的地方。這個遇見幸福又失去幸福的地方。



action4：著名女歌手原來是黑人小伙子的姑媽！歌手蒞臨賭城獻唱，邀請姪子一同演出。年輕的姪子彷彿輕鬆地在舞台上搖擺，輕



                  快的老歌像情歌也像驪歌，彷彿在替過去的情誼歌頌緬懷與Say goodbye........



---

                精明幹練的女人只提著一件行李。舞台前，她對台上的好友微笑，致意道別。



                沒有送別的男人接獲父親死去的噩耗。在同一時間失去了兩個摯愛的他，慌張與無助全寫在臉上。



                父親飛奔機場，卻只見剛浮升頭頂的一架飛機。他不知道她會不會再回來。



                大廳的牌桌搬走了，吃角子老虎機也是。爆破小組為柱子安上炸藥，倒數計時轟的一陣整棟樓就這樣傾頹。



                所有美好的芳華與過往似乎都不見了.....    伴著一股又一股冒起的煙塵....

歌手們哼著的那首，也就是您現在所聽到的。

也許哪天我也會搭上某班順風車...  椅在小小的車廂裡頭.....



希望吹過的午夜涼風，能稍稍稀釋心中的悲傷.....
