Since last week i knew this article, I have kept sharing it with friends. Of course i don't persuade you to be someone who will be afraid of. Its just a way to make the list of advantages for reading. As a college student, i know most of us don't have habit in reading including me. However, also as a design-learning student, the inspiration should not only be from any architect's portfolio or even magazines but the experience of life, whereas we are too busy to really work it out. For me, Books sometimes is the best solution, no matter how poor or how busy you are.
This article really inspired me. At least it gave me an influence for keeping reading.
And It Rained All Night And it rained all night and washed the filth away Down New York airconditioned drains The click click clack of the heavy black trains A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb Fifty feet of concrete underground One little leak becomes a lake Says the tiny voice in my earpiece So I give in to the rhythm The click click clack I'm too wasted to fight back Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock
I can see you But I can never reach you
And it rained all night and then all day The drops were the size of your hands and face The worms come out to see what's up We pull the cars up from the river
The Verve第四張專輯Forth首支單曲『Love Is Noise』,歌曲的創作靈感,來自從小就有幻想神秘性格,出生於倫敦的英國詩人William Blake (1757-1827)的經典作品"And did those feet in ancient time" 這首MV結合了幾種不一樣的元素壯麗雪峰、共產式民族舞蹈、爆裂的火花等。不清楚導演剪輯手法的目的,但歌詞與影像好像呼應了上篇作者的一些論點。(自以為的穿鑿附會了一番)

Will those feet in modern times 他們的腳步有跟上現代嗎? Walk on soles that are made in China? 行走的鞋底是中國製造? Feel the bright prosaic malls 感受光亮的平凡商場 In the corridors that go on and on and on 在狹長的走廊不停的持續下去 Are we blind - can we see? 我們是盲目的嗎? - 我們能看透嗎? We are one - incomplete 我們是一體的 - 卻不完整 Are we blind - In the shade 我們是盲目的嗎? - 在晦暗的陰影之下 Waiting for lightning - to be saved 等待閃電擊下 - 拯救吧!

Understand this world’s affliction 瞭解這世上的折磨 Recognise the righteous anger 認清正義的憤怒 Understand this world’s addiction 瞭解這世上沉溺的癮頭 I was blind - couldn’t see 我是盲目的 - 無法看透 What was here in me 在這裡我扮演的是什麼 I was blind - insecure 我是盲目的 - 危險的!
