1992,TNT-Laser Records


 The Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica (1964) 12曲と The Ronettes Featuring Veronica (1965) 11曲を順に収録した 2 on 1 CDで,全てステレオ・ミックス。

When I saw you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind over you

When I held you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind over you

When I saw you, I realized somethin'
I didn't realize
You've got somethin', you've got somethin'
That makes me say "Child, child, child"

When I saw you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind, lose my mind
I'd lose my mind over you

There's Still My Joy


Written by Melissa Manchester, Beth Nielsen-chapman, Matthew Charles Rollings

Lead vocal: Emily Saliers

Produced by Peter Collins



収録アルバム
Indigo Girls
Holly Happy Days
Vanguard,2010







I brought my tree down to the shore
The garland and the silver star
To find my peace and grieve no more
To heal this place inside my heart
On every branch I laid some bread
And hungry birds filled up the sky
They rang like bells around my head
They sang my spirit back to life
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Through all my tears, for what I've lost
There's still my joy

There's still my joy for Christmas day
The snow comes down on empty sand
There's tinsel moonlight on the waves
My soul was lost but here I am
So this must be amazing grace
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Beyond these tears for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy for Christmas day
There's still my joy for Christmas day




The Indigo Girls

天皇はなぜ生物学を研究するのか(講談社)



















天皇はなぜ生物学を研究するのか

丁 宗鐵 (著)



講談社プラスアルファ新書(2011/6/21)


内容説明
学問・スポーツと、皇族・貴族の関係を探る貴族というパトロンなくしては成り立たなかった学問。階級社会の産物としてのスポーツ。秋篠宮に繋がる「生物学研究」の流れ。皇太子のみが歴史を学ぶのは何故か

内容(「BOOK」データベースより)
「学問、スポーツ」と「皇族、貴族」の関係を探る。


 ですます調,そして説明的すぎて読みづらかった。

 生物学との関わり.......天皇家の血筋についてはいろんな場面で考えさせられるが,本書に比べれば,以下の記事はもっと濃密で面白い。


秋篠宮が語る悠仁さまの5年   江森敬治 (文藝春秋 2012年 01月号)

 悠仁様の,犬が飼いたい,それは大型犬が良い-というこだわり,或いはクロメンガタスズメ(背に髑髏の模様をもつ蛾)を幼虫から飼育され羽化に至ったこと等。
 秋篠宮は親子でタイ,ラオス,マダガスカルへ出掛ける日々を思い描いておいでの由。

Snow falling down children all around
And I'll be their Santa Claus clown
It's a time for girls and boys
Just look at me, happy as can be
Taking pleasure just to see them...
Playing with their toys

I haven't heard a word from you
And wondering what your doin'
Wish that you could see them too
And be here by my side
And almost every day one of them will say
Why'd he ever have to go away
And the tears are so hard to hide

It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And any day when your not here

Now Johnny's getting big and Mary's like a twig
And little Joe's so grown up....
He helped mama trim the tree
And looking at him now it's funny but somehow
I get the strangest feeling
Your standing right here by me
Now he's so much like a man
Reaching for my hand
And trying so hard to understand
Why my mood is changed
I got to turn my face away
I don't know what to say
Try to get myself together
And keep from calling out your name

It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And any day when your not here

Yes, It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And rainy days and sunny days
Any day when your not here

I've been missing you for so many days
I keep wanting you [lord} in so many ways
I cant get you off of my mind
But true love is so hard to find
I want yet another day
Ooh I need another day
Darling, let me have another more day
And I can be anything that you want me to be, now
The sweet things you used to do to me
Sometimes you used to say them to me
I can't forget those lovely days
But this is the price I am about to pay
Ooh I want another day
You can let me have just one more day
Ooh I need one more day
And I will do anything that you want me to to
I will do anything that you want me to do, now
Say anything that you want me to say
Buy you anything you want me to buy
And I can cherish you till the day I die
If you let me have another day
Please let me have one more day
Ooh I want just one more day [lord}
And it can be anything that you want it to be
Ooh no,
Ooh
Just one more day now
You can let me have just another day, now
Please I want to stay And the day after and after
And I want all the days
And I want all the days
And I want you here by my side
And I don't want you do leave me
And You can let me have one more day
And I can love you long for the rest of my life I can cry, cry, cry
Please,Let me have just one more day
Just another day
Let me have all my days
Let me have Let me have all the days I gotta,
I Gotta I gotta have just all the days

Haven't done as well as I thought I would
I'm not dead but I'm damaged goods
And it's gettin' late
I'm a rusty hinge, a squeaky wheel
At the bad end of a shaky deal
Cursed by the hand of fate

And oooh - I'm a very lucky girl
Yeah oooh - hello cruel world

I'm a ticking clock, a losing bet
I’m a girl without a safety net
I'm a cause for some concern
You don't live this long without regrets
Telephone calls you don't wanna get
Stones you'd rather leave unturned

But oooh - the grain of sand becomes the pearl
Yeah oooh - hello cruel world

Some folks go the easy route
Numb the pain or put the lights out
Either way they got to go
Me I'm gonna stick around
In for a penny in for a pound
‘Cause I hate to miss the show

And oooh - I'm a very stubborn girl
Yeah oooh - hello cruel world
