The Rose
这首Bette Midler的传奇经典被后人无数次翻唱过,其中最有名的大概是Westlife的抒情版本。但可能没有太多人知道,这首歌最初是为一部摇滚传记片写的。(以下来自百度)这是一部关于摇滚乐史上最伟大的女性——Janis Joplin 的传记片,制片人找了一位外形比较相似同时也是一名歌手的Bette Midler来出演这位传奇女星的短暂一生。Janis Joplin 是摇滚乐史上少见的比较著名的女性,就像是罗绮在中国摇滚的地位。片中除了引用了大量Janis Joplin的歌曲以外,Bette Midler也一展歌喉,其中出现了一曲也许是摇滚乐史上最为动听的歌曲《The rose》。
我录的是Westlife的版本,但有个别音准和节奏上的变化借鉴了Bette Midler的版本。
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
Dido —— Thank you
很喜欢Dido 的空灵式民谣唱法,但她最近好像很少出现。这首Thank you 也很老了,是我最喜欢的歌之一。
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it' d all be grey
But your picture on my wall it reminds me
That it's not so bad, it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Chorus:]
And I want to thank you for giving me
The best day of my life
Ohh, just to be with you is having
The best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me
[Chorus:] X2 |
