※Jason Mraz, ft. James Morrison, Details In the Fabric, in "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things", 2008. (Also here)
非常喜歡傑森先生這張新專輯，比起過往作品，有種反璞歸真的味道。這首歌的 featuring, James Morrison, 也是近來備受矚目的年輕歌手，有著一副沙啞誘人、善於述說生活的迷人嗓音（請見粉紅機器人的介紹）。
Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and
Breaking yourself up
If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it
And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
mmmhmm
Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything, everything will be fine
Everything
Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?
Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.
Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything
Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way
Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)
Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?
Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing
Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold
導演聚焦於此，大量訪問歐、美老中青三代的龐克樂團，包括 The Adicts, Anti-Flag, The Anti-Nowhere League, Iggy Pop, NOFX, The Offspring, The Ramones, Rancid, Sex Pistols, T.V. Smith, Social Distortion, U.K. Subs, The Used 等等。
看到七 ０年代末的老骨頭們，面對龐克精神的低潮期可能的失去、質變，十幾年來，他們只是不斷繼續地巡迴演唱、傳承，例如原本有媒體能見度的 U.K. Subs，仍選擇轉往地下，二十幾年來各地巡迴著，樂團的 reunion party 上幾代更替的樂手齊聚，好不熱鬧；甚至有二十幾年來從未更換團員的樂隊。他們通常所抱持的信念是：不把龐克當職業，就是一份愛好，所以一路走來，還維持當 年開破車住破旅館，只為唱歌、分享音樂的單純（唯一的變化就是多了小孩一起唱唱跳跳，笑）。當昏暗的幾百人場子，被十幾歲的年輕人塞滿，舞台上蹦蹦跳跳的是五、六十歲，頭髮越來越稀疏的老頭，那種傳遞的氛圍，很令人感動。很多事物的成功與意義，就在於累積，特別是文化方面，然後有一天它們會在意想不到的時機，開出一種茂盛。
噪／躁動的龐克搖滾既來自憤怒，意謂著他們都十分關心社會與政治議題（至於情歌，有人看不慣它的呢呢喃喃，有人卻認為那是對生活複雜度一層更深刻的理解。畢竟所有的憤怒，歸根究柢，還是來自「愛」的）。Green Day 的主唱 Billie Joe Armstrong說道，他從未在學校的教科書裡學到政治，卻從龐克樂裡學到了。而對這些議題與事物的敏感，除了來自本身階級與在群體、體制下的疏離感之外，也代表不斷的思考與感受。對我而言，那是強調一種人的完整性，先活得像個人，而不是在體制下把自己給非人化。於是在強健而無處宣洩的的活力底下，重又啟動對知識與思考的啟蒙、對既存不滿的反動。
所以玩龐克不需要完美的技巧，首重的是一種態度，在不被接納的排擠裡，去反思、有感於更多更寬闊面向的可能。於是去作、去 DIY，在大街上聚集起同好。而只要繼續有叛逆的、格格不入的、早慧的青少年，相信這份 Punk Attitude 也會流傳下去，只要我們都保持清醒。Subhumans 的 Dick Lucas說得好，經過 25 年的驗證，龐克搖滾不能改變這個世界，這個世界依舊充滿飢餓、不公與戰爭，但龐克卻深深改變許多人的生命歷程。我想，音樂之於教育是一樣的，過程雖然緩慢，卻是最根本的一種啟發、再造與希望。
