私の美樂地

接連2個颱風過境

已經好幾天大雨不斷

原本期盼的來藍天白雲好天氣全都沒了

心情悶得很

只好在電腦前MSN...寫寫東西來殺時間了



前陣子突然想起一首很久的老歌

記得是高三那年華納出過一張英文合輯

裡頭都是感傷情歌

"CRY ME A RIVER"是其中一首我很喜歡的歌曲

只是忘了是誰唱的

請朋友幫我找

發現還不少人唱過這首歌曲

像我後來手邊就有早年Barbara Streisand的版本

但也許是她當時灌這首歌時還年輕氣盛想力圖表現

以百老匯的唱法詮釋反而過於外放不夠深刻

後來找到了Ella Fitzgerald(艾菈．費茲潔羅)的版本

果真就是我要找的感覺

陶醉在她如癡如醉的靈魂歌聲之中

原來情歌可以銷魂

就是這樣的地步吧







Now you say you're lonely

You cried the long night through

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried a river over you



Now you say you're sorry

For being so untrue

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cause I cried, I cried

I cried a river over you


You drove me,

Nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember?


I remember all that you said

Told me love was too plebeian

Told me you were through with me and


Now you say you say love me

Well, just to prove you do

Come on and cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried a river over you


You drove me

Nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear


Remember?

I remember all that you said

Told me love was to plebeian

Told me you were through with me...


And now, now you say you love me

Well, just to prove you do...

Come on! and cry, cry, cry me a river

Cry me a river...

Cause I cried a river over you


If my pillow could talk

Imagine what it would've said

T'would be a river of tears

I cried in bed


So you can cry me a river

Daddy, go ahead now and cry that river

Cause I cried how I cried

A river over you
