好歌(及MV)重溫：When we we're together

十年前一場浪漫風暴，雨橫風狂，倏忽而過，現在人們也許忘了，也許不。

已經轉型做田園詩人（或稱英國版區瑞強）的Louis Eliot，十幾年前曾和隊友Johnny Bull以Kinky Machine名義出現，後解體重組成Rialto，帶來一系列充滿電影感的愛情流行曲。Louis細膩達意的歌詞，功力不比Jarvis Cocker遜色。像"Monday Morning 5.19", "Dream another dream", "Untouchable"等，均是同名大碟內的classic pop tunes。第二張大碟Night on Earth，走techno路線，惜掀不起話題，但碟內如"Catherine", "Failing in love", "I drove the car that took my love away"，仍是不可多得的一流ballad，纏綿悱惻，猶像一首首愛情電影的插曲。

MV同樣首首精品。"When we're together"講述一名痴情男子日夜跟蹤及偷拍心上女子，如此題材落在Jarvis Cocker手上，會變成如"Pencil Skirt"那種偷窺偷妻的寫實諷刺作品，而在英國Albert Au手上，則變得十分emotional，浪漫和電影化。

烈日正酷，浪漫風暴消逝之時，更覺那首風行一時的"Summer's Over"愁腸百轉。



The lights come on, I track her moves:
locking the door, crossing the room.
She's on the phone again, and when she laughs
I feel my blood rushing - I feel my blood rush to my heart...

I call her up and disconnect, wait by her house once more to check,
stare through the window of her kitchenette,
and then I follow her down underground escalators,
hiding behind my newspaper until the time
when we're together.

So here we are, alone again;
I'm in the dark, she's in her frame, her window bay.

I play the film back through my mind
with a few new scenes I've designed;
maybe I'll write her one or two more lines,
and then I'll follow her down underground escalators,
hiding behind my newspaper
until the time when we're together.

Together, together, together, together...

Together, when we're together,
Together, when we're together,
Together...
