於雙連站走回地面,結束這段地下漫遊。到上揚唱片行逛逛,挑了兩張唱片:一是Philly兄月前報馬的「巴黎之晨」,另一是Joe Williams的「Here’s To Life」。
Here’s To Life 的 Joe Williams 加 George Shearing 版本,是我剛開始聽爵士樂時,由一張贈品合集中所發現的,我認為是絕美之作……
Joe Williams(vocal),George Shearing(piano)請耐著性子聽聽看……
這是Joe Williams現場演唱的版本。
另外,Shirley Horn的版本也不錯!
把詞抄於下,嗯!為生命而歌…… Here’s To Life
Lyrics - Phyllis Molinary, Music - Artie Butler
No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
And I have learned that all you give is all you get
So give it all you've got
I had my share, I drank my fill
And even though I'm satisfied, I'm hungry still
To see what's down another road, beyond a hill
And do it all again
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here's to life
To dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can go from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you've memorized
To keep your winters warm
But there's no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings, or takes away
As long as I'm still in the game, I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here's to life
To dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
