我忘了是從哪裡發現這名歌手和這首歌，純粹的鋼琴伴奏與充滿情感的嗓音，立刻捕捉心神。讓我想起Jacques Brel的唱法與強大的感染力。
Benjamin Clementine - I Won’t Complain (Official Video)
（MV的影像設計與攝影手法很有劇場敘事和默片式的巧思，一樣好看）
寫出這首歌曲的Benjamin Clementine不只能作詞作曲還能唱能表演，殊不知這才華的背後有段暗黑的故事。他曾經歷被霸凌無家可歸、自我封閉的青少年時日，因為音樂重新與世界連結。
人都嘛超愛靠腰，只有少數心志健全的人，可以不抱怨。願你聽著這首歌，獲得能量。
英文歌詞：
It's a wonderful life, its a wonderful life
Traversed in tears from the heavens
My heart is a mellow drum, a mellow drum in fact
Set alight by echoes of pain twenty-four seven, twenty-four seven
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life, and it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday
But I won't complain, no I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn'
So I wont complain
My mind is a mirror, a reflection only known to me
And for those who hate me, the more you hate me
The more you help me
And for those who love me, the more you love me
The more you hurt me
When I go to bed in the night, I see some children in the light
Fighting unknown shadows behind my mother's back
And although I don't understand my dreams
I know somewhere, there is hope, there's hope, there is hope
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life, and it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday
But I won't complain, no I won't complain
No no no no
No no no no
No I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn'
So I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn'
So I won't complain
I won't complain
歌詞中譯：
順帶的收穫，發現一首驚人的舞蹈作品，以這首歌為音樂，由Larkin Poynton（來自西班牙巴斯克現居美國）編舞，Chiba Unity演出。這個團體成立於2017年，由一群來自日本新潟的青少年/女（13-17歲）組成，乾淨的身體、精準的技巧、豐沛的情感、強大的群舞能量，把歌曲的精神和精彩傑出的編舞充分表現，令人激動、感動，熱淚盈眶。（TIFA看到吐血的我，在這得到慰藉。）
舞蹈影片和現場演出有著不同的氛圍，也帶來不同的觀看注目焦點，但都非常觸動人心。
影片版：
現場比賽版：廣角長鏡頭（看到整個場面更加佩服編舞的才華以及舞者乾淨的身體、能量的收放和精彩的表演性）
Though my good days are far gone, I know somewhere there is hope.
I won’t complain.
後記：世界實在太大太大了，尤其在資訊爆炸的今天，讓邊界更加廣闊模糊。這樣的歌曲和這樣的創作者，這樣的舞蹈和這樣的團體，我居然是超級lag才發現.......是說真的沒事要亂晃亂逛，跳離習慣和自己以為偏好的圈圈，才有機會獲得可貴的刺激、驚喜和啟發～
