"Something old, something new.
Something borrowed, something blue.
And a silver sixpence in her shoe."

A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in the Victorian era.
Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. “Something old” symbolizes continuity with the bride’s family and the past. “Something new” means optimism and hope for the bride’s new life ahead. “Something borrowed” is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.

As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride’s shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.

我還有萬事不會
已聽不少無可到老的承諾
世界裡有多少胡不歸
而我有我知己
陪我度過四季
沒有什麼在這一生可求

等待新專輯...

人類進步了嗎
我不能說沒有
但確實看到一些是在不斷退後不斷深陷
世界各地都充滿著
為人權為種族膚色為政治而奮鬥的人群
世界各地也充滿著
為人權為種族膚色為政治而犧牲的人命
這都是為了更好的未來嗎
而我們又從歷史中吸取了什麼
這真的能讓你我放心安心了嗎
這真的能給下一代更好的環境嗎

偶爾我會想起你
我們認識的時候
我應該還是個戴著眼鏡的邋遢學生
(雖然現在也只不過戴了隱形眼鏡)

還差一輛車子的距離
我就已經看見銀行保安人員站在路口出
我在想等一會兒如果他看見了我
我應該跟他微笑打招呼
一大清早就認真工作的人啊 總讓是讓人敬佩的
正當我繼續向前走 漸漸靠近他
他看著我 禮貌的笑著對我說 good morning
我也禮貌的對他說了 good morning

多麼簡單的一句早安

此時如果街上每一個似乎都在趕著去上班的人都放慢腳步
親切的跟向你迎面走來的陌生人報以一個微笑或一句早安
甚至對在捷運裡不小心碰撞到你的人報以一個微笑來化解誤會
這城市會變得更有生命力

最近?
我換了髮型
眼線畫得比較勤
睫毛嘗試塗得比較濃密
還換了個效果不錯的面膜

最近?
很少彈吉他了
書也真的很少看了
去了些不知名的地方隨便走走
還拍了些沒什麼技術可言的照片

 有時候讓一切變得輕盈,想法就多了

偶爾讓心裡的孩子出來玩耍,大人的世界太複雜了

給我一些音樂,任何時候,有些音樂,一切會不一樣

用心的灌溉一些小小的夢想,就算不能實現,至少過程會是美好的回憶

 心裡有些秘密,只想告訴你;心裡有個位置,只讓你佔據

我想浪費一個下午的時間,發白日夢

脾氣不好,是我的錯,但我會記得微笑

革命的歲月裡
只等待在沒有安排之下遇到soul mate
而她/他也許只在你的有生之年逗留一夕光陰
卻是唯一一個能和你心靈契合
互相鼓勵又互相扶持的完成一個傻子般的夢想

而在重新想起這個期待時
偶然看到了一個短訪
只是很想說
嗯...就是這樣...真巧...

Sing a song...
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've shattered on the runway
you've brought so many to the light
And now you're by yourself

There comes a point in every fight
When giving up seems like the only way
When everyone one has said goodbye
And now you're on your own
<Fallen From The Sky - Glen Hansard - ONCE>
