私の美樂地

"自動播放:Wind Beneath My Wings(Sheena Easton)"






It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, thats your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that youre my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.



一首歌之所以動人

是每個唱過的歌手所賦與特有的靈魂

讓每次的詮釋都是一次次打動人心的特色



這首Wind Beneath My Wings第一次讓我印象深刻的是齊豫版

收錄在1990年"花兒不見了"(Where Have All The Flowers Gone?)

就像先前說過的

在一堆談情說愛的情歌下

歌誦人性的善與感恩的歌曲格外讓我動容

詞意中將對方的幫助比喻成讓自己可以向上提升的那陣風

滿滿的感激藉由齊豫清越而悠揚的高音好似飛向雲端

直達天聽



其實這首歌曲不僅僅國內的齊豫翻唱過

當時也被不少西洋歌手傳唱

像是文章開頭所放的是Sheena Easton唱的版本

簡單

直接

卻在Sheena清亮的歌聲中找到類似齊豫的唱法所傳遞的感覺

但是Sheena版卻讓我有種.....適合在已逝親友追思會中播放的感覺



但最讓大家膾炙人口的是Bette Midler在電影"Beaches"(情比姐妹深)所唱的版本

劇情中Bette Midler在姐妹淘去世的喪禮中唱出這首歌

不出色的聲色卻唱出情感欲滿的動容

讓人不為之掉淚也難

也讓這部片成了最催淚的經典電影之一



跟Sheena版的差異不僅在歌聲的表情張力

Bette Midler版本中最後多了一段"Fly, fly, fly ......"漸漸高升的橋段

讓滿心的的情感直達天際

是相當巧妙的安排



空靈與滿溢

雖各有特色

對於心中的那份情感

直達天聽卻在同一首歌中傳遞

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, thats your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that youre my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But Ive got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that youre my hero?
Youre everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you youre my hero?
Youre everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and i, I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings,
cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. you let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
So high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
