當愛回到過去/When Love Has Gone Past

[Music & Lyrics by Karen Chang/Vocal by Evelyn Chen/Drums by Tom Scrase/Bass by Steve Moodie/Acoustic & Nylon String Guitar by Shane Robertson/Piano by Peniel Chung/Backing vocals by Karen Chang]

[All songs arranged, produced, recorded, mixed and mastering by Karen Chang]

城市裡稀薄空氣  讓我聞到了你的氣息
來來往往人群中  尋找著你熟悉身影
在我的眼裡在我的心裡  你是我唯一回憶

看著你和他的照片  告訴著我他心裡的你
電話裡溫柔聲音  是再也回不到的過去
夢想沒實現對你的思念  全部放進我心底

當愛回到過去  觸動我心中旋律
你的笑容你的背影  是那麼陌生又熟悉
當愛回到過去  讓琴弦將它忘記
遙遠距離隨風飄逸  只剩下鋼琴的回音

就讓愛隨風飄逸

Jazzed up edition. Found it on an Italian site that has many other great Jazz pieces.

This melody has been in my mind for years. I even made a midi version from my memory to remind myself at the beginning of this year. Finally when I decide to write a letter to my Music 100 teacher back in Mesa, only finding out she is not teaching there anymore. After a little googling, I found her name listed on San Diego Music Teachers Association of California, and the site kindly provides a page to mail instructors using the form provided. I mailed her along with a link to the midi/mp3 I made to ask her for the name of the song, but with no faith that the mail would be delivered to her inbox. Guess what, I got a reply! She was able to tell which song it was from the poor melody I put together.

That’s the tenor chorale from JS Bach’s Cantata #140 “Wachet Auf”. It really s beautiful.

Again, google has guided me to this page: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, where I find exactly what I was looking for, for years. The audio is performed by MIT Concert Choir (Cutter) and under Creative Common Attribution ShareAlike 1.0 License. I converted the ogg file into mp3 and here it is:

I just love it.

想要附加說一下, 去升級成 Flickr Pro 後開始一股腦的把相片往上丟. 感覺起來 Flock 內建的 Uploader 缺點就是不能一次全部 Tag, 不然速度比 Flickr 的 Uploader 快多了. 還有不知道該不該 Resize 成 2048 阿阿阿阿 orz

總之我想說的是, 相片丟上 Flickr 後, 配合著 Flock 內建的 Blog Editor 和 Photo Toolbar, 在文章中插入圖偏還真好用吶!!
