"自動播放:California Dreamin’"












All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin'
On such a winters day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winters day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin'
On such a winters day




長大衣

圍巾

高領毛衣

口罩

毛線帽

熱咖啡

薑母茶

在這波強烈冷氣團的威力下

一一無效

這時

除了哼起了The Papas & The Mamas的"California Dreamin’” 大做加州陽光夢之外

可能就要去同名的健身房好好動一動暖暖身子囉


在那個1960年代充滿反戰思想

愛與和平信念下的嬉皮潮

The Papas & The Mamas正是那個時期的一個重要的流行文化指標

在他們熱情奔放、和諧美妙的音樂中,以民謠搖滾為基礎,

傳遞著他們獨特嬉皮形象和生活方式

在當時廣受年輕一輩的歡迎

1964年,樂團在加州成立。成員有John Phillips和Michelle、還有Cass Elliott、Denny Doherty兩對夫妻

因此才取名為The Papas & The Mamas

在1966年推出了單曲“California Dreamin'”,在排行榜排名第4,共售出了100萬張。

而California Dreamin'”在描述60年代或是傳遞出反傳統的嬉皮思維的影片中

是一首不可或缺的時代歌曲

像是阿甘正傳與王家衛的重慶森林片中都有這首歌曲

同年,“Monday,Monday”、“I Saw Her Again”都先後進入排行榜前5名

更在次年拿下了葛萊美最佳創作、年度最佳流行樂隊兩個獎項。



隨著突如其來的走紅與榮耀

但是原本率性的他們不知如何掌握名利卻陷入了另一個險境

70年代以後失去創作的靈感

加上失意而沉迷於毒品與不自制的大吃大喝

他們就隨著嬉皮與反戰的潮流退去後乏人問津



20年後

1990年出現了一個美聲三重唱Wilson Phillips

其中一位成員Chynna Phillips的雙親則為The Mamas & The Papas的成員John Phillips與Michelle Phillips

她們靠著優美而和諧的合音

不僅一推出就大受歡迎,數支單曲不但拿到排行榜冠軍

專輯還得到葛萊美獎等提名,相當風光。

但宿命的是好景不常

在1992年推出第二張專輯銷售成績不如以往

她們三位也各奔前程成為歌壇閃亮的流星



充滿陽光的加州夢....今年冬天在惡劣風雪下早已蒙塵

而明日又是週一

在年假的最後一天裡

你會跟他們的歌聲一樣充滿期盼的朝氣與活力嗎




"手動播放:Monday,Monday"













Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Monday Monday, can't trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how yould cou leave and not take me.

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, ...
