本名【珍.馬克切夫斯基 (Jane Marczewski) 】的【夜鶯 (Nightbirde)】曾說:「總不能等到人生不再艱難,才決定活得快樂。」(You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.) 

多麼有力道的句話!有沒有也帶給你一絲振作的力量?

個人有個習慣,偶爾想到,會即興欣賞一下 YOUTUBE 頻道中的「America's Got Talen (美國達人秀)」或簡稱「AGT」、其他國家 Got Talent (全球性達人秀)、「The Voice Global」及「Best of The Voice Kids」等等相關節目,蠻推薦的,裡面常可以發現表現優異的素人,歌唱、舞蹈、魔術、喜劇或其他表演,當中有些人的表現甚至比線上的演藝人員更加突出,對我而言,是非常好的動態藝術節目。但總有因為忙碌於諸多生活雜事而忘了觀看的時候,這回,過了一年多後的幾天前才倏然想看,於是乎,找了落掉裡最精華的部分 -- ALL Golden Buzzers From America's Got Talent 2021 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZJvBfoHDk0) 快速回顧,即去年 (2021年) 所有得到 Golden Buzzer (金色按鈕) (註1) 傑出參賽者的精彩表演,骨瘦如柴卻美麗依然的【珍】便是其中的一位。

「總不能等到人生不再艱難,才決定活得快樂。」

【珍】於去年 2021 年 6 月參加「AGT」,甜美又滄桑地娓娓唱出自創曲《It's OK》:

向來以毒舌聞名的製作人兼評審 Simon 更是再再讚嘆【珍】的嗓音令人驚豔,而透過歌聲可以感受到她所經歷的,在節目中,她最後回應「總不能等到人生不再艱難,才決定活得快樂。」(You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.) 讓 Simon 頓時哽​​​​咽語塞,為她按下金色按鈕,保送她進入半準決賽 (Quarter Final),同時獲得滿堂彩。她取【夜鶯 (Nightbirde)】為自己當歌手的化名,確實,她完完全全駕馭了〝夜鶯歌唱〞的概念,那夜裡美麗、孤獨又哀愁的歌聲...

為了完成夢想,參加「AGT」比賽,《It's OK》即她過去幾年對抗病魔的心路歷程,在上次的檢查中,發現癌細胞擴散到她的肺部、脊髓和肝臟,評審 Howie 因此點出她的狀況一點都不 OK 時,她卻豁然地答道並非每件事都不 (not in every way, no),並不假思索地接著說「我比我所遭逢的壞事還要來得豐富得多。」(I'm so much more than the bad things that happen to me.) 面對 2% 的存活率,她認為雖然僅有 2%,但 2% 並非 0%,算幸運的事了,這 2% 是多麼地神奇了,她樂觀、坦然地面對,充滿感染力的燦笑,熾耀的光芒,讓人無法忘懷。

令人不捨與難過的是,這位毫不畏懼的抗癌鬥士終不敵病魔的催殘,於今年上個月 2022 年 2 月 19 日離開人世,年僅31歲。(已淚)

《It's OK》

 

I moved to California in the summertime

I changed my name thinking that it would change my mind

I thought that all my problems

They would stay behind

I was a stick of dynamite and it just was

A matter of time, yeah

 

Oh, dang, oh, my, now I can't hide

Said I knew myself but I guess I lied

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

If you're lost

We're all a little lost, and it's all right

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

We're all a little lost, and it's all right

It's all right, it's all right

It's all right

 

I wrote a hundred pages, but I burned them all

Yeah, I burned them all

I blow through yellow lights and don't look back at all

I don't look back at all

 

Oh, dang, oh, my, now I can't hide

Said I knew what I wanted but I guess I lied

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

If you're lost

We're all a little lost, and it's all right

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

We're all a little lost, and it's all right

Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's all right

To be lost sometimes

註1:Golden Buzzer (金色按鈕),評審可選出自己認為最強的參賽者,按下金色按鈕,但每位評審和主持人在每季節目中只有一次機會按金色按鈕,換言之,每季最多只有5個名額的參賽者得到金色按鈕。當某一評審或主持人按下後,舞台上方會灑下閃亮繽紛的金色碎紙片,此參賽者則可不經評審投票而直接保送進入半準決賽 (Quarter Final),意表參賽者中的佼佼者所獲之最高殊榮。
