2011-06-15&06-17 音乐剧《蜘蛛侠》主演专访

 -All right, well, the last question I ask everybody that's on the show always has to do with music and always has to do with doing a riddle¹ snippet of some song that means something to you.

-Yeah

-Now doesn't have to be from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

-OK

-It could, may be it's something that a song you always like, maybe that you wrote, maybe that is a part of it that would be something that resonates to you about the character that you are playing. 

-Oh, man, what would I do? The thing that could kind of pull me into music was probably Billy Joel’s “For the Longest Time.”

-Yeah

-I don't know why, but I cannot remember the lyrics² though. I remember the chorus. Hum, I don't want to screw it up because it is such a beautiful song. “Whoa, for the longest time, whoa, for the longest…” cannot remember, oh, I know it is: “If I say goodbye to you tonight, there will still be music left to write.” Hum, what's the rest of it? ... “I intend to hold you for the longest time.” But I don't remember…I screwed, I mixed them. I mixed the verses. 

-But it's not only nice, it is appropriate, you know, because you waited the longest time for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark though, but then now it is… 

-Right

-Thank you so much.

-Thanks Peter, thanks so much. 

-That was great.

Billy Joel, born in 1949, one of my favourite singers, my favourite song of him is "just the way you are." it's realy beautiful. 

there is another song which i love so much for years, "Lately" by Stevie Wonder.
