《祝福》史坦威鋼琴版｜上海彩虹合唱團｜江蕙｜Jody Chiang - Best Wishes to You Steinway Model D Piano Cover

感謝L的帶領，讓我在波士頓溫室，第一次盡情地彈奏史坦威D系列演奏級鋼琴，享受震撼低音的聽覺饗宴。稍可惜手機錄音失真許多，只能將感動留在心裡。也感謝L鋼琴專業的略施小技，就算這首沒琴譜，有原曲照樣馬上聽寫出琴譜讓我參考，比自己血汗試錯聽奏快了一百倍以上。敢在我望塵莫及的高人面前班門弄斧錄製鋼琴，臉皮也是夠厚。
Thanks for L's guidance, allowing me to freely play the Steinway D series concert grand piano for the first time in the Boston Conservatory, experiencing the auditory feast of breathtaking low tones. It's a bit regrettable that the mobile recording distorted a lot, leaving only the emotions in my heart. Also, thanks to L's piano expertise, even though this piece doesn't have sheet music, L could immediately listen to the original and write down the sheet music for me to reference. This saved me more than a hundred times the usual bloody effort of trial and error in playing by ear. Recording the piano in front of this true master was such a brazen move.

這首《祝福》是大約一週前偶然聽到上海彩虹合唱團的版本，非常驚艷他們竟然能將台語(閩南)歌曲唱得如此標準又深情動人，尤其合唱帶來的豐富層次也令我深深陶醉其中。期待未來上海彩虹合唱團能帶來更多經典台語歌曲的嶄新合唱版本。
The song "Best Wishes to You (Self-translation)" is one I accidentally heard about a week ago in the version by the Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Singers. I was extremely impressed by how they could sing the Taiwanese (Hokkien) song so standardly and with such deep emotion. The rich layers brought by the chorus, in particular, left me deeply enchanted. Looking forward to the Rainbow Chorus bringing us more innovative choral versions of classic Taiwanese songs in the future.

細品歌詞，極易聯想到席慕容的經典詩歌《渡口 》，在此分享紀錄：

讓我與你握別
再輕輕抽出我的手
知道思念從此生根
浮雲白日 山川莊嚴溫柔
讓我與你握別
再輕輕抽出我的手
華年從此停頓
熱淚在心中匯成河流
是那樣萬般無奈的凝視
渡口旁找不到一朵可以相送的花
就把祝福別在襟上吧
而明日
明日又隔天涯

Reflecting on the lyrics, it easily brings to mind the classic poem "Ferry Crossing" by Xi Murong. Here is a shared record:
Let me bid farewell to you,
Gently withdrawing my hand again.
Knowing that longing will take root from now on,
Floating clouds, white days, majestic and gentle landscapes.
Let me bid farewell to you,
Gently withdrawing my hand again.
The splendid years come to a halt,
Hot tears gather in the heart, forming a river.
It's such a helpless gaze,
By the ferry crossing, not finding a single flower to send.
So, let the blessings stay on my chest,
And as for tomorrow,
Tomorrow, it's another separation across the horizon.
