Reality這首歌是1980年法國電影“La Boum”(“第一次接觸”)的主題曲。
這部電影是法國玉女明星蘇菲瑪索在十四歲時主演的處女作,
上映後所向披靡,使她成為八十年代最走紅的少女偶像明星之一。
而Richard Sanderson演唱的這首主題曲也創下了輝煌的成績:
*Reality--Richard Sanderson 1980
Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I'd care
There was something special in the air
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as it's meant to be
Dreams are my reality A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night And loving seems alright
Although it's only fantasy
If you do exist
Honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it's true
Show me what you do
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness is past
And maybe now at last
I'll see how the real thing can be
Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality
Met you by surprise I didn't realise
That my love would change forever
Tell me that it's true feeling that are new
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy
Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality

也有用這首歌當配樂
My Girl
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside
I've got the month of May I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl I'm Talking about my girl
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song Than the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say what can make me feel this way
My girl I'm talking about my girl
I don't need no money fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'll say What can make me feel this way
My girl I'm talking about my girl
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day My girl

再見女郎 ◎文/王文華
四、五年級的同學也許記得《再見女郎》這部電影(《The Goodbye Girl》,1977)。
改編自美國劇作家尼爾賽門的舞台劇,描述窮困潦倒的紐約演員Richard Dreyfuss
(因本片拿下奧斯卡最佳男主角,最新作品是正在上映的《海神號》),
陰錯陽差地和單親媽媽Marsha Mason住在同一屋簷下。
Marsha Mason因為常被男人拋棄,所以自嘲是「再見女郎」。
兩人的個性南轅北轍、一開始衝突不斷,但最後卻陷入情網。
正當他們的真愛萌芽時,Richard Dreyfuss必須離開紐約去參加電影演出。
分開那個雨夜,女主角覺得自己再一次變成「再見女郎」。
男主角卻站在大雨的街頭,跟她宣誓他回來的決心。
此時,片尾的主題曲放出:
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must not slip away
I know it’s hard believing the words you've heard before
But darling you must trust them just once more...
'Cause baby
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.
I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of giving in
But I can wait forever, helping you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me...
So remember
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
'Cause now you're home at last
(David Gates演唱)
這首歌,應該是這個活動最好的主題曲。
「因為再見,不意味永遠,因為再見,不表示我們不會再重逢。
也許我們分隔兩地,但你有我的心。忘記過去的悲傷吧,
再見女郎,因為你終於回家。」
