【鋼琴版】珂拉琪 Collage／蓮花空行身染愛

珂拉琪（英譯：Collage，即拼貼）樂團用台語結合高超的文學素養、情感隱喻、歷史事件、宗教信仰等多元素材，並以現代風格的音樂完美融合，展現出無與倫比的創意和潛力。這種將多樣元素和諧整合以迸發出豐富潛力的境界，正是我「高熵」思想的完美體現之一。歌詞含義如同珂拉琪樂團的〈萬千花蕊慈母悲哀〉，深度和密度彷彿在讀文章新詩一般。如此用心的歌曲，聽得享受，彈得也沈醉。期待珂拉琪能繼續帶來震撼人心的靈魂饗宴。

歌曲使語言強盛。全球數千萬人會說的閩南語，幾十年來漸覺式微。然而，近期由諸多台灣樂隊興起，融合不同元素與創意，呈現復興的趨勢，相當樂見。一些獨特美學和情感力量，實在無法用國語精確表達。每個語言都代表著一種感受世界的方式，各式地區方言都應維護傳承，加諸如歌曲文學等創作的昇華。以此首台語歌曲來說，它讓中文整體更繽紛多彩一些，兼具不同美學並帶來豐富發展可能。人類全體文化的邊際開拓更是如此，不同形式的思想表達都貢獻其中。

「對你一生瘋狂真摯的愛啊，就算要衝入地獄也是我自己甘願。無論天上、地下、人間我都要陪伴守護你，哪怕百鬼夜行十面埋伏，四方妖孽都給我退下！」

真希望未來能找到這樣的另一半，只不過自己能有配得上並互相如此的本事嗎？

The Collage band, which combines the richness of literary elements, emotional metaphors, historical events, and religious beliefs, and the use of Taiwanese, presents an unparalleled level of creativity and potential by integrating these diverse materials with modern musical styles. This perfectly embodies my "high entropy" philosophy, harmoniously integrating various elements to unleash their rich potential. The meaning of their lyrics, such as in the Collage band's "Mother's Grief over Countless Flowers," is as deep and dense as reading articles and poetry. Listening to such carefully crafted songs is a true delight, and playing them is also a captivating experience. I anticipate the Collage Band to continue bringing us soul-stirring musical feasts.

Songs fortify languages. The Minnan dialect, spoken by 50 million people worldwide, has been in decline over the past few decades. However, the recent trend of Taiwanese bands incorporating different elements and creative approaches into their music to revive this language is a welcome development. Some unique aesthetics and emotional power cannot be expressed precisely in Mandarin. Each language represents a different way of perceiving the world. Preserving and elevating various dialects through creative works like music and literature is crucial. This Taiwanese song enhances the vibrancy and diversity of the Chinese language as a whole while also bringing rich possibilities for aesthetics and development. The frontier exploration of human culture is just like this, with different forms of expression contributing to it.

“My love for you is so deep and genuine that I would willingly brave the hell for you. Whether in heaven, hell, or the mortal realm, I will be by your side, guarding you. Even if countless evil spirits and demons emerge, I will make them all recede in fear!”

I long for a partner who shares this kind of love and devotion. Yet, I wonder if I have what it takes to be worthy of such a relationship.
