Goin' Where The Wind Blows - Mr. Big


Someone said life is for the taking Here I am with my hand out
waiting for a ride

I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
And the world just passes by?

Where are the signs to help me getout of this place If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know?
If the story's written on my face, does it show?

Am I strong enough to walk on water?
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows

Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me
And what I left behind

On my own, supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've seen after
Or have I lost my mind?

Maybe this is my big chance coming to take me away, yeah
If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know?
If the story's written on my face, does it show?

Am I strong enough to walk on water?
Smart enough to come inout of the rain?
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows?

Here I am walking naked thrown the world
Taking up space, society's child
Make room for me, make room for mem, make room for me

Am I strong enough to walk on water?
Smart enough to come inout of the rain?
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows?
Where the wind blows, yeah, yeah
Going where the wind blows, yeah

在輕狂的高中時期,玩玩吉他搞搞樂團好像成了每個年輕人必備的興趣,我也不例外。

看著吉他社的同學在練習,偶而也偷拿他們的琴來練練,雖然稱不上專業,至少懂了一些皮毛。除了彈,聽一些經典樂團的音樂來耳濡目染更能了解搖滾樂的精神及靈魂,諸如Guns & Roses、Bunjovy、Oasis、Aerosmith...,然而,最讓我這外行感到舒服的樂團,莫過Mr. Big。

To Be With You 這家喻戶曉的一首歌就不用多說了,這首Goin Where The Wind Blows除了輕快的民吉旋律吸引我之外,主唱隨興的嗓音配上灑脫的歌詞,一聽就愛上,即使到現在,經過六七年了,聽到這首歌那種從心底感覺到的共鳴、爽快程度,完全不會因為時間而消彌,百聽不膩,這一輩子能找到這樣一首歌,還有甚麼話說?
