自从去年12月初在MAO看了致敬Beatles的演出后,便疯狂喜欢上了这首“While My Guitar Gently Weeps”。搜到了这首歌的acoustic版本,别有风味,而且视频下面还随唱显示歌词。歌词与原版有点出入,当我看到“I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging”时,之前逐渐积攒下的这种温柔忧伤的感觉立刻爆发并把我感染崩溃了。
It’s said Beatles’ Yesterday has the most versions, over one thousand different versions by different bands or artists. This is a peaceful song with a little sadness, accompanied by a acoustic guitar and a violin.
I’m looking back on the moment that Yesterday changed my life.
What if I didn’t buy the double-tape of English Classic 7 years ago? What if I didn’t spent a whole month to be skilled with the first guitar? What if I didn’t choose DLNU? Where would I be now? What would I do now?
There’re so many possibilities in life. Whatever, thanks Beatles.
Yesterday
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,I’m not half the man i used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong, Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong, Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
Summertime, and the living are easy…
Morning found us calmly unaware/Noon burn gold into our hair/At night, we swim the laughin’ sea…
同样,Kinks的这首歌也使人感到轻松惬意。
可这首歌唱夏日时光的小曲中的环境却是在冬季,这四个傻乎乎的青年…
Sunny Afternoon
The tax man’s taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can’t sail my yacht,
He’s taken everything I’ve got,
All I’ve got’s this sunny afternoon.
Save me, save me, save me From this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend’s run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I’m sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
‘Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Ah, save me, save me, save me From this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
