不自覺就會想到William Blake 的 The Chimney Sweeper。

#slavery
Underscores injustice of the situation in 18th century London.

一共有兩首，當時只有喜歡Song of Experience的這首，Song of Innocence 的那首，由孩子視角去闡述實在太傷心了。

The Chimney Sweeper:
A little black thing among the snow
BY WILLIAM BLAKE

A little black thing among the snow,
Crying "weep! 'weep!" in notes of woe!
"Where are thy father and mother? say?"
"They are both gone up to the church to pray.

Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smil'd among the winter's snow,
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

And because I am happy and dance and sing,
They think they have done me no injury,
And are gone to praise God and his Priest and King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery."

不小心又文人分享了..

Someone apparently thought this was a good plot for a movie.

金曲獎最佳年度歌曲的《刻在我心底的名字》深陷抄襲疑雲，近日同樣因為歌曲相似度而在網路上引發熱議的，還有發行首張單曲就席捲音樂界的18歲歌手Olivia Rodrigo。

Olivia Rodrigo今年5月發行的新歌Good 4 U被國外網友點名抄襲了搖滾樂團Paramore在2007年推出的Misery Business。如果你還沒聽過這首歌，以下是附timecode的YT連結：

➤ Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U (2021):
https://youtu.be/gNi_6U5Pm_o?t=44

➤ Paramore- Misery Business (2007):
https://youtu.be/aCyGvGEtOwc?t=37

仔細聽可以發現兩首歌的和弦非常相似。事實上，Paramore的主唱Hayley Williams與前吉他手Josh Farro事後還被Olivia Rodrigo列成該首歌的共同作曲人。這種擷選原曲旋律後重新填詞的作法，稱為「插值」（Interpolation）。

插值在流行音樂裡是相當常見的做法，Ariana Grande、Bon Jovi、David Bowie、Ed Sheeran、Flo Rida、Kanye West、Nicki Minaj、Taylor Swift與披頭四等都曾在歌曲中插入其他藝術家的原曲旋律。

擅長樂理分析的YouTuber亞當‧尼利（Adam Neely）從和弦（chords）、旋律曲線（Melodic Contour）、各小節的升降音等面向下去比較，發現一個有趣的事實：Good 4 U、Misery Business、Boulevard Of Broken Dreams與We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together都有相同的和弦編曲（chord progression）、主調（target tone）、切分音（syncopation）與結構。

有興趣的人可以跳轉到下面的timecode比較這四首歌的差異（泰勒絲的We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together真的嚇歪我，跟Paramore的Misery Business有夠像）：

➤ Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams (2005):
https://youtu.be/Soa3gO7tL-c?t=78

➤ Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (2010):
https://youtu.be/WA4iX5D9Z64?t=48

根據統計，1990年至2016年間告示牌排行榜前100名的歌曲中，有300多首歌可被歸入常見的四大和弦編曲裡、佔總數的12.3%；可見受歡迎的流行歌存在某種被偏好的編曲旋律，也就是所謂的「金曲公式」。

近年在著作權法的規範下，時常發生兩首聽起來截然不同的歌被判定為「實質相同」的狀況，像是披頭四吉他手George Harrison的歌曲My Sweet Lord被控侵權The Chiffons的歌曲He so Fine，或是Katy Perry的Dark Horse被控抄襲Marcus Gray的福音歌Joyful Noise。

想自證「自己沒有在無意間聽過這首歌」在法庭上極為困難，被告極有可能花費大把金錢卻仍落得敗訴的下場。

為了避免剛起步音樂人的創意被版權規範扼殺在搖籃裡，擁有音樂學位、會寫程式的律師迪米安（Damien Riehl）的諾亞（Noah Rubin）推出All The Music計畫：用演算法將一個八度內所有的音階排列組合譜寫成包含12個音符的旋律，並將旋律無償提供給大眾使用。

迪米安表示，這些數據在被存入外接硬碟後立即享有著作權的保護，如果AI譜寫出的旋律可受著作權保護，他們將以公共領域貢獻（CC0）形式授權給大家；若AI的創作不具著作權，那麼任何人都可使用這些旋律，避免人們再因為旋律的實質相同而被告上法院。

作詞：黃偉文

編曲：Ariel Lai@emp
監製：Edward Chan / Ariel Lai@emp / Cousin Fung@emp

你想見他 想見他 沒有他
如常每日假裝 不算太差
有一晚 突然倦透了
然後你哭了 其實未夠瀟灑

浩劫記憶 縱使可怕 別拼命壓住它
抱擁終生的痛 學接受有瘡疤

來提提你 難平的
從未因包上紗布 能自欺 好了吧

不必裝作退燒
不必裝作放低了
真的心碎 不必裝作笑
若你給搶走 的太緊要
如承認那痛苦 能延續你心跳 就靠它撐腰

儘管哭到破曉
不必裝作看開了
小小激憤不必 去治療
平和 等於 愛的感覺 死了
哀傷 好過 扮麻木算了

你想嘆息 請嘆息
難免的 徬徨 憤怒 忐忑 不要壓抑
至少有真正被愛過
才是有資格 回味滴血軌跡

若怕喪失 愛的火氣 恨意是有用的
記得怎麼掙扎 別這樣快安息

難受是對的 逃避是錯的
難道將喪禮繞過 無視哭的價值

不必裝作退燒
不必裝作放低了
真的心碎 不必裝作笑
若你給搶走 的太緊要
如承認那痛苦 能延續你心跳 就靠它撐腰

儘管哭到破曉
不必裝作看開了
小小激憤不必 去治療
平和 等於 愛的感覺 死了
哀傷 好過 扮麻木算了

誰人被意外分開了 千里之遙
誰被掛念的針刺痛 快受不了
唯獨為情崩潰 至可暗地 忘掉亂世紛擾
跟他再親密 團聚十秒

It’s ok to be sad
It’s ok to lose your mind
Life is not a childhood fantasy
Sometimes it appears to have no mercy
You may wanna pretend
But the way you laugh
Is a tragedy
It’s ok to be sad
It’s ok to lose your mind
When life brings the darkest misery
Let it be your strongest energy

哀傷 好過 扮麻木算了
聲張 好過 扮成未發燒
哀傷 激發 生長 熱情又滿了

Describe a historical figure that you find the most impressive. (Mô tả một nhân vật lịch sử bạn thấy ấn tượng nhất). Đề này tương tự đề IELTS Speaking Part 2 describe a person you admire nhé. Nào cùng tham khảo bài nói nhé!

? Tổng thể bài nói về nhân vật lịch sử có Part 1-2-3 đây nha: https://bit.ly/3wvFn2z

If someone asks me about one historical figure that I like the most, it will definitely be President Ho Chi Minh. I am sure that President Ho is admired and loved not only by Vietnamese people but also residents in other countries around the world. He is a prominent leader and he led many resistances that defeated foreign invaders to bring peace and protect national sovereignty.
(Reason) President Ho is well known for leading a simple life and spending all his life fighting for the happniess of Vietnamese people and the independence of the nation.
(Example) He was born into an impoverished but intellectual family in Nghe An province so he could understand the misery and poverty that were caused by war to Vietnamese people. Therefore, at a very young age of early twenty, he decided to go to some foreign countries to find a way to save the country. He went through a lot of ups and downs but with his decisiveness and patriotism, he came back to Vietnam with innovative ideas to improve the policies as well as eliminate invaders.

President Ho had achieved a lot in his life of doing politics; however, he never thought for himself only, he helped other people till the end of his life. Now there are many memorials of President Ho in different countries for people to honor one of the greatest men in the world’s history.

衛蘭 治癒系歌曲 《It’s OK To Be Sad》
「儘管哭到破曉 不必裝作看開了」
學會擁抱負面情緒 才能延續心跳

若你感到哀傷、氣餒、心碎，
或遇到各種讓你到失落的事情，
想跟你說聲「It’s OK to be sad」。

在這裡，你可以坦然接受自己的情緒，
做一個最真實的自己。
