昨天下午的莫名難過…
主因是因為「Tears in Heaven」與「Stop! In the Name of Love」。
然後…今天早上醒來還是想到這首歌，「Stop! In the Name of Love」。
突然覺得這首歌跟我很有緣。
決定還是偷偷利用上班時間寫一下自己跟這首歌的由來與感想。
吉第一次聽到這首歌，應該是去年，詳細時間忘了。
是在日劇上聽到的結尾曲。當時室友在客廳看電視，29吋的Toshiba CRT，
吉剛好在房間門口，看到了那部片，「愛上大明星」，藤原靜香主演的。
劇情還好…就是一個女大明星陰錯陽差與一個平凡木訥的上班族從偶然相遇到共沐愛河的戀愛「肥皂劇」。
真正吸引我的，就是由GLOBE演唱的片尾曲。
歌詞不多，也簡單，當然，是英文。
吉吉只是覺得很好聽，也很好唱。
抓過MP3下來聽聽，幾天後就忘記了。XD
神奇的事，就發生在今年三月的西雅圖自由行中。
當天，吉吉是奉命（家姐與同事們）前往Premiun Outlet去做採購。
（順帶一提…即使已經是離市區最近的Outlet了，還是很遠..
如果完全沒有MISS，轉三次公車就到了…大約兩個小時的單程..
可吉吉當時悲慘的命運是，在最後一次轉車時搞錯地點，提前下車，
所以就錯過了搭車時程…這最後一小段的車程，花了吉吉一個小時半才走到…XD）
吉吉走進一家化妝店，叫什麼Body & Bath的。
正在挑選負責購買的護手霜時，耳邊傳來陣陣「熟悉」的聲音。
（剛剛突然想到，葉璦菱的「耳邊又傳來陣陣催促的聲音…」^_^）
嗯…竟然是「Stop! In the Name of Love」
可是，剛剛明明是英文廣播啊？
所以吉馬上跑到櫃檯問囉，”Do you know this is whose song? It sounds great.”
“Well this is an old song. Have you never heard it before?”
“No. Could you please write down the singer and the original song name for me?”
就這樣，吉吉拿到了那張紙條，果然是同樣歌名，而歌手是Diana Loss。
今天早上上網查了一下歌詞，發現連wikipedia都有收錄這首歌的歷史；原來這首歌曾為暢銷單曲榜的第一名。

STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE / Diana Loss
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
Im aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you’ll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(think it over) after Ive been good to you ?
(think it over) after Ive been sweet to you ?
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I’ve known of your
Your secluded nights
Ive even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(think it over) havent I been good to you ?
(think it over) havent I been sweet to you ?
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I’ve tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you’d stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
Im so afraid Ill be losing you forever
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby…
