私の美樂地

實在是太喜歡這首歌了

只好一次四版本都放

讓大家好好聽個比較

也聽出耳油出來

Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind



這部電影對你我而言年代是久遠了點

1968年的電影

由當時的性格巨星史迪夫．麥昆（Steve Mcqueen)與冷豔女星費．唐娜薇(Faye Dunaway)主演

劇情描述一位白手起家生卻活平淡無趣的百萬富翁Thomas（Steve Mcqueen)為了追求生活的刺激

精心安排下策動了一項銀行強劫案

冷豔的冰山美女保險員Vicky(Faye Dunaway)j奉命派來調查這案子

跟男主角展開一場"官兵捉強盜"的鬥智追逐

卻又相互吸引而墜入情網

30年後1999年由皮爾斯．布洛斯南與蕾妮．羅素重拍了這部片

但感覺上

似乎沒有原版來得好看



"Windmills Of Your Mind"原本在電影中是由一位男歌手"Noel Harrison"所唱

電影中有一個橋段是男主角駕著滑翔翼在天空飛翔

作曲者Michel Legrand說這裡應該有一首歌

表現一種浪漫,瀟灑的感覺，導演也欣然同意

於是Windmills Of Your Mind這首歌就誕生了

這首歌也贏得當年奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲獎的榮耀

除此之外還有一個小故事：

歌手Neol Harrison要求Michel詞曲要修改

Michel不滿地的說:要嘛你就照著唱，否則就拉倒!!!

Neol只好乖乖的唱

沒想到日後這首歌大受歡迎

不僅登上排行榜第一名,還獲得奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲獎

一年後,Neol打電話給Michel感謝他讓自己"一曲成名"

Michel回答說:我不想再和你說話,你是個大渾蛋!!!


1969年Dusty Springfield也唱了這首歌

那渾然天成的慵懶嗓音更讓人著迷

也成了她的代表作之一

1987年齊豫在個人第一張英文專輯中也慧眼獨具挑了這首歌

其實這首歌真的不好唱

咬字與旋律還有感情要兼顧很難

國內歌手要唱好這首歌還真是一大挑戰

若要問起這兩者有啥不同呢

Dusty Springfield的嗓音詮釋起來像是走進放著老唱片，煙霧朦朧的小酒館內

溫暖，灑脫而微醺

齊豫唱來難得的俐落咬字加上空靈純淨嗓音

就像是石頭丟如湖水中那濺起的一圈圈漣漪

1999年Sting又為重拍版重唱了一次

歌聲低迴而帶著磁性的魔力

又是另一個完美的詮釋

至於我比較喜歡哪一版??

當然是小酒館比較合我胃口囉~~~~
