暖阳，因为在我们心底都有着那块最柔弱的地方而存在，那里是阳光可以洒下的地方，却又有时会被灼伤；残念，因为一个进驻你心底的人无法按时搬出走人而存在。藕断丝连的情绪似乎是一把温柔的尖刀，却将你步步紧逼。忘情水，因为你想结束这一切外来或者你自身强加的伤害而迫不及待地将它们一饮而尽。期待着一切因为温暖而引起的自我灼伤立刻的烟笑云散。这，就是电影Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind的故事，一个关于爱恨之间辨证关系，关于对存在于每个人心底那片阳光救赎以及我们到底该如何好好呵护我们自身最宝贵的感情的故事。
我想我无法用言语来表达我对这部电影的喜爱之情。这是怎么样一个精彩的故事，以及导演怎样用一个个天才的构思，剪辑，甚至魔术来将它娓娓道来。对此我并不打算在这里对电影再评头论足一番。因为可能对于每一个人来说这部电影都是一个不小的惊喜---如果你喜欢电影的话。
Jon Brion这个名字可能大家都不太熟悉，包括我在内。但是当你看完(或者站在他的工作角度来说，是听完)整个影片的时候，你不得不承认这是他一次跟导演Michel Gondry一样的近乎完美的天才式的发作。因为你在听过他为电影所铺垫的音乐的时候，你几乎很难想象除了他这些近乎絮絮叨叨的杂音岁片还有其它的音乐更适合这部影片。对于一个配乐者来说音乐之间的切换表情并非难事，但是像他这样的简洁又不失新奇却情绪饱满的乐曲构思实在是属于超常的发挥了。这位怪鸡的半个摇滚工作者在写score的时候还尝试了不少的方法来启发灵感。比如他让每位乐队的小提琴手都拿个响版来制造出奇妙独特的声音，为此他也没少遭到过那些观比较传统的乐手的白眼。这是在DVD花絮里面他在访谈里谈到的。当然，出来的效果可以说是相当的出色。
每一祯有他音乐响起的画面，都深深的打动着我，因为我可以在他的音乐世界里找到每一样我想在这个影片里面想要得到的情素。被无情抛弃的尴尬，大彻大悟后的茫然以及愤怒，无法释怀的无奈，而后爱被重新唤醒的圣洁。这些Jon Brion都把他们用一个个音符做出了最完美的翻译，如同影片娓娓道来一样的精彩。
It's Jon Brion(其他电影作品包括"Magnolia"，"Punch，Drunk Love"，"i ? hackubees")
同时这张OST并非是完全的score soundtrack。在里面出现的背景音乐也全部收录了在这张传记里面。如Beck专门为这部电影翻唱的Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes。喜感十足的Electric Light Orchestra的调皮捣蛋的twee pop似的Mr. Blue Sky。以及"人山人海"似的和音团体The Polyphonic Spree的It's the Sun。呵呵，似乎都同影片本身一样，到处暗藏着精彩。
Enjoy Yourself.无论是这部电影，还是这张精彩的电影原声。

One of America's most talented Singer/Songwriter/Producers. Heard producing Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, and Paul Thomas Anderson soundtracks. "Jon Brion is a master of pop. There is nothing he can't do." - Beck.



Jon Brion is one of America's most talented Singer/Songwriters.

He is a multi-instrumentalist who has the hippest live show in the greater L A area. You can check him out at the Largo.

Although Jon Brion does not have much in the way of solo recordings available, he has been working hard since he was a young man. He was a member of The Grays, whose album Ro Sham Bo was a masterpiece of power pop (along with Jason Falkner, Buddy Judge, and Dan McCarroll, excellent performers and songwriters in their own right).

Jon was responsible for much of the sound of Aimee Mann's two solo albums, played guitars on Jellyfish's album Spilt Milk, and contributed much to the sound of Fiona Apple's debut album Tidal.

Jon has also worked with such artists as Murray Attaway, Jude Cole, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, David Byrne, Brian Stevens, Sam Phillips, E (and the Eels), Susanna Hoffs, The Mommyheads, and Garrison Starr, among others. He continues to be much in demand as a studio musician.


About the songs - in his own words:

Gotta Start Somewhere: When I first moved into the house to start work on the studio I bought a cassette 4-track to keep myself busy. This was the first thing I recorded. It wasn't intended for human consumption. At a later date, when asked by Atlantic to hear "more", I transferred it to the 24-track and continued the mayhem.

I Believe She's Lying: Fear of commitment anthem. Aimee Mann helped with some lyrics.

Meaningless: This is an old song of mine. It's one of many that deals with memory and how events imbue certain inanimate objects with the power to open your flood gates. The basic track was recorded by Mike Deneen at Q-Division and sat in a tape box until I needed something uptempo. Jack Joseph Puig recorded some extra guitar. Rich Costey was on hand to aide in completion. I think he mixed the drums in a room we had set up for Pro Tools that was behind the kitchen upstairs. There were cables running in and out of the house.

Ruin My Day: One of two songs on the album with lyrics written with Jeff McGregor. Jeff is a favorite songwriter of mine, and I'm lucky to have written a number of songs with him. He has a number of records out under the name of "The Solipsitics", and you are urged to look into them. I had the music and the basic lyrical idea (the title and a few key lines) and we completed the rest of it together. One strange fact was that before we had met, Jeff had written a song that had the same bridge music (the "love it was lovely" part) in his song "Up to Now". The first time he played me that song I laughed and said I had an unfinished song with the exact same musical bridge. I played it and we had a good chuckle and surprisingly to me he thought we should finish my song off as well. It was originally written on acoustic guitar but I grew accustomed to playing it on piano. The version here cracks me up because it reminds me of an old Atlantic record.

Walking Through Walls: This is one of the first songs Grant Lee Phillips and I wrote together. Grant's a remarkably talented individual who fronted Grant Lee Buffalo and is now starting a solo career. We are currently making a collaborative record where we both write and sing and play everything. We get together when schedules allow and it should be available this year.

Trouble: Jeff helped me finish off the lyrics on this one too. It was very helpful in that I had most of it in scattered notebooks and wasn't sure if I had confidence in them. He helped structure it and threw in some good lines. A hearty Thank You.

Hook, Line & Sinker: Fairly self-explanatory.

Dead To The World: The basic is all optigan, chamberlin and mellotron (the fetching tremolo guitar). The vocal was thrown on and it was one of the roughs sent into Atlantic. I just kept it "as is". The Outro is from an early un-used version of the Bridge of "Ruin My Day", Disney-style (with Bluebirds).

Her Ghost: A song I wrote when I lived in Boston. I've recorded some different versions over the years but was never happy. The original version had some orchestra samples over very straight drums and bass, and I always wanted to wait until I could make an album with orchestra to do this song, as that was the original intention. A conversation with my brother prompted its inclusion on this record. The orchestra will have to wait.

Same Mistakes: At about 3:30 in the morning on the last day of mixing I finished off lyrics to this song and we recorded it, put a coupe of overdubs on and mixed it. One of my favorite things on the record.

Voices: This is a Cheap Trick song. I'd been doing it at Largo with Music Boxes randomly playing and an Edison cylinder machine also running of its own free will. There's less of it on the record than there normally is in my live show because on the night of recording it's mainspring exploded.
