看过世界杯闭幕式后的第二天,开始饭 Shakira !

前些时间在《Mrs. Henderson Presents》里听到 Will Young 唱这首歌,电影感觉一般,但涉及到这首歌的那段还是挺感人的,只恨自己听力太差,很多处都听不出确切的歌词,所幸今天在网上找到了;)

 

Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat much faster
What did I long for, I never really knew.
Finding your love, I found my adventure,
Touching your hand my heart beat much faster
All that I want in all of this world is you.

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

You are the angel glow that lights the star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Someday my happy arms will hold you,
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine.

 

这首歌最早应该是由 Frank Sinatra 演绎的,年代相差太大,貌似也是大大牛...

选了白色的，大小、质感、操作的第一感觉都还不错，熟悉中：）

却犹如一部经典的老片

 

和San Francisco并列为我最喜欢的乡村歌曲~~

 

歌词:

got on board a westbound seven forty-seven

didn't think before deciding what to do
ooh, that talk of opportunities, tv breaks and movies
rang true, sure rang true ...
seems it never rains in southern california
seems i've often heard that kind of talk before
it never rains in california, but girl, don't they warn ya?
i'm out of work, i'm out of my head
out of self respect, i'm out of bread
i'm underloved, i'm underfed, i wanna go home
it never rains in california, but girl, don't they warn ya?
it pours, man, it pours
will you tell the folks back home i nearly made it?

had offers but didn't know which one to take
please don't tell them how you found me
don't tell 'em how you found me
give me a break, give me a break
seems it never rains in southern california
seems i've often heard that kind of talk before
it never rains in california, but girl, don't they warn ya?
it pours, man, it pour

人们记起Albert Hammond，往往是因为它他手经典名曲“It never rains in southern California”。Albert Hammond，1942年生于英国伦敦，成长在直布罗陀。60年代中期，和他的好友Steve Rowland一起将它改组为Family Dogg乐队。1969年的首张LP《A way of life》已推出就获得成功，产生多首上榜曲目，但不久，Hammond就离开了乐队，独立发展自己的歌唱事业。1972年，单曲“It never rains in southern California”一发行就进入美国音乐榜前五，第二年初出版同名专辑。第二张专辑《the free electric band》也在这一年发行，词曲创作及吉他演奏全由他一手操办，“I'm a Train”是其中的上榜歌曲。在接下来的十几二十年中，Hammond保持着他多产的步伐前进，最终以他的词曲创作力闻名。在为自己创作的同时，他还为众多歌手写过歌，Leo Sayer 1977年的榜首歌曲“When I need you”、Diane Warren的热门曲目“Nothing's gonna stop us now”以及Chicago的“I don't wanna live without your love”都是出自他的手笔。Hammond的儿子Albert Hammond Jr.继承父业，以吉他手的身份在2000年初于Strokes乐队中初露锋芒。
