June 22 HOW CAN I SEE THEM AGAIN? N年前的GRAMMY，N老的ERIC和N拽的guitar汇成一首不怎么好听、却是满罕有的歌。以前听相声，里面说世上唱老爸的歌不多。这首《MY FATHER'S EYES》也算我所知道的唯一一首和父亲有关的歌。ERIC父子阴阳两隔的境遇，使得这个弹吉他的老头写了不少像TEARS IN HEAVEN 之类说父子之情的歌曲，也许这也是一首这样的歌曲吧？夏至日，带着永远的忧伤听ERIC和他的吉他慢慢道来：
MY FATHER'S EYES
Sailing down behind the sun, Waiting for my prince to come. Praying for the healing rain To restore my soul again. Just a toerag on the run. How did I get here? What have I done? When will all my hopes arise? How will I know him? When I look in my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. When I look in my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. Then the light begins to shine I hear those ancient lullabys. And as I watch this seedling grow, Feel my heart start to overflow. Where do I find the words to say? How do I teach him? What do we play? Bit by bit, I've realized That's when I need them, That's when I need my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. That's when I need my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. (Instrumental) Then the jagged edge appears Through the distant clouds of tears. I'm like a bridge that was washed away; My foundations were made of clay. As my soul slides down to die. How could I lose him? What did I try? Bit by bit, I've realized That he was here with me; I looked into my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. I looked into my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. My father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. I looked into my father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes) My father's eyes. (look in my father's eyes...) December 22 如果还有明天1990的秋天 我演完最後一场 生老病死的对话 送来新的希望 下雨了下雨了 那是你的眼泪吗 将我淋湿可以吗 让我感受你的痛啊 笑我吧 不管黑夜是否太傻 笑我吧 走在边缘只剩挣扎 笑我吧 哈 哈哈 哈哈 哈 还有明天 1990的秋天 我演完最後一场 生老病死的对话 送来新的希望 下雨了 那是你的眼泪吗 将我淋湿可以吗 好让我感受你的痛啊 笑我吧 不管黑夜是否太傻 笑我吧 走在边缘只剩挣扎 笑我吧 哈 哈哈 哈哈 哈 如果还有明天 是否这生命能够听的到 希望我们的梦想永远不会被忘掉 希望有一天 可以再见面 上面是魔窟最近贴的音乐《如果还有明天》中，最后那段RAP的歌词。前阵子阴雨霏霏、连月不开，听到信和柯有伦唱的这首歌略略生了点感触。不太清楚本歌的初衷说的是什么，只是听到歌中的几个字眼，不由遥想起数年前所经历的那场生老病死，想要分担却不能，想要留住却不能，实在让人无奈。 对相隔阴阳的逝去者，藉着同样来自不可及之地的雨点，来幻想出一点点的联系——这实在是种笨拙的做法。不过，无可奈何所生出的笨拙，也情有可原。今日为2006的冬至，上海晴，看来不会下雨。下次如果有机会，倒是可以试试这种笨拙纪念方式。 August 06 Son Of A Preacher ManSon Of A Preacher Man
Billy-ray was a preacher's son
近期SPACE上的音乐是由灵魂歌坛白色女王Dusty Springfield演绎的"Son Of A Preacher Man"，被滚石评为有史以来最伟大的500首歌曲之一；该曲也是被评为上世纪90年最具影响力的电影之一的"PULP FICTION（低俗小说）"的插曲。 因为很少接触灵魂歌曲，所以特意留意了一下Dusty Springfield，发现并没有想象中的那么遥不可及：她的As Long As We Got Each Other“成长的烦恼”的主题曲，而她的另一首The Look of Love（可惜是别人翻唱的，更有爵士风格的版本）也早早就收录在电脑中了。 Dusty Springfield的生平：
六十年代曾经以“You Don't Have to Say You Love Me”红极一时的Dusty Springfield，1939年4月16日出生於伦敦，本名叫做玛莉奥白朗，五十年代就开始进入歌坛，最早是叁加“The Lana Sisters”三重唱，後来跟她的兄长汤姆共同组成了“The Springfields”三重唱，在英国的民歌界颇有些名气，而她也在这个时候把艺名改成Dusty Springfield。 |
