Eric Clapton-Wonderful Tonight
Posted On 2009年9月22日 星期二 at 張貼於 凌晨4:21 by geraldshie最近方大同推出了自選集 翻唱了許多老歌
其中有一首我十分喜歡的 Wonderful Tonight
不過我還是喜歡Eric Clapton滄桑的嗓音
方大同還太年輕 聲音柔情有餘
但感覺還唱不出那種老夫老妻日常瑣事中有的小體貼與甜蜜
這首曲子有很多版本
我最喜歡的是1999年在NY演出的這個live版本
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
很喜歡Eric clapton的歌 總覺得他的藍調獨樹一格
不像一般的黑人藍調 卻又很有自己的風格
讓我想到阿姆和貓王 在同樣以黑人為主的樂界當中 發展出自己的舞台
都是十分了不起的人物
Pink - Dear Mr. President
Posted On at 張貼於 凌晨3:20 by geraldshie本來印象中的pink 只是一個作風特立獨行的女歌手
後來才知道pink對於女權運動以及社會議題一直很關心
這首Dear Mr. President出自於2006年的I'm Not Dead專輯
原本是寫給小布希的公開信
不得不承認當初聽到的時候 只覺的旋律不錯 但其實沒什麼感覺
但最近發生的事情 讓許多人又回想起這首歌
我以前以為小布希是有史以來最白癡的總統
但是我錯了
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy(were you a lonely boy)
Are you a lonely boy (are you a lonely boy)
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
你可曾直視著我?
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh~
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?
