Growing up is not the absence of dreaming
 
Simplicity is beautiful

Last night I was listening to Jack Johnson's latest CD and didn't know why all my depression and irritability accumulated in these few days have vanished.

 

Just love Jack Johnson's music so much. It sounds simple, a mellow male voice with an acoustic guitar, and pondering in the lyrics he wrote, you see a profound guy who seeks simplicity in his life. Everything seems so easy, so beautifully simple in his melodies. Even when he's being sarcastic, he sounds really nice and friendly, all you get is not negativity, cynicism or rage, but a sense of humor. The criticism is carried out in such a light-hearted way, but the weight of it is not reduced, you just stop and think when he sings "we're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless, we're human, amusing and confusing, we're trying, but where is this all leading?". Conveying in a mellow soft voice, it rings more true than when it's sang in a coarse voice full of rage.

 

Listening to his laid-back voice, I felt like, I was suddenly in a tiny house at the seaside. It was a morning in early December, with the warm winter sunshine through the open window. I was lying in the bed, wrapping myself with the soft cotton blanket. I looked out of the window and saw a baby blue sky, there was no clouds and the sea was calm and peaceful, reflecting the sunshine like golden sands were flowing through. Suddenly I heard the sound of acoustic guitar and a low yet mellow gentle voice, I turned and saw a guy wearing a simple white T-shirt sitting besides the bed, singing "Do you remember when we first met? I sure do. It was some time in early September. You were lazy about it, you made me wait around. I was so crazy about you I didn't mind". He was so absorbed in his music, singing and playing, occasionally looking up and smiled at me, especially when he sang the line, "The craziest thing of all is over ten years have gone by and you're still mine". We exchanged a glance and smiled to ourselves. Everything has been said in that second, no word was needed. I felt like I could lie there listening to him singing to me for all my life.

 

And there we go, my Mom shouted, "hey turn off the lights and sleep", waking me up from my fantasy. That simple laid-back love life, never rushing through things, quietly enjoying the lazy lazy morning, smiling to each other, having breakfast in bed, then spending the rest of the day painting reading singing or walking along the seaside.

 

And then I tried to visualize the guy's face in my fantasy, okay everyone knows there would be no one but Ju's face....but then it's strange to visualize him being so laid-back. He's the kind of person who never stops, who always have so many things going on in his mind.

 

Lights off. I tried to stop thinking and fall asleep, but I just couldn't help wondering,

 

Why the hell have I fallen for such a nervous and complicated guy?

好喜歡他那向上揚的眉,帶點playful輕佻的樣子

 

現在好像都不見這樣子的Julio

 

夏利奧,下次影相可唔可以戚戚你條眉?
