美國創作才女[卡莉賽門]──合成電子搖滾──[Tired of Being Blonde/厭倦當金髮女郎]

 

 

She left the credit cards under her goodbye note

"All of these are yours, goodbye" and that was all she wrote

Keys to the Porsche she dropped on the floor in the den

Left in the 70 Dodge that he drove her in

She wasnt angry, she wasnt sad

She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had

Tired of being blonde

Tired of running around with the usual guys and gals

Tired of being blonde

Tired of living up to all he expected

Tired of being blonde

Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one

Tired of being blonde

Tired of letting her dreams go neglected

She used to love to know she rounded out his world

She used to love to be all he ever loved in a girl

He liked to buy her clothes that made her sexy and cute

Guess she decided shed been too long away from her roots

She wasnt crazy, she wasnt mad

She just knew in her heart they had drained her of all that she had

Tired of being blonde

Tired of all the platinum frustration

Tired of being blonde

Tired of looking like a cutie on the cover of a magazine

Tired of being blonde

Tired of chasing all the latest sensations

She wasnt angry, no, no, she wasnt sad

She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had

She was tired of being blonde

Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one

Tired of being blonde

Tired of coping with the desperation

Tired of being blonde

Tired of fighting back the feeling inside that told her to run

Tired of being blonde

Tired of hiding her own inclinations

 

 

進入80年代後 70年代紅極一時的美國創作才女卡莉賽門(Carly Simon)事業進入低潮

Elerktra唱片跳槽華納兄弟(Warner Bros.)後發行的三張大碟仍舊不成功

1985年 卡莉再度轉到Epic唱片旗下,

7月 40歲半的卡莉推出第12張大碟[Spoiled Girl/被寵壞的女孩]

Epic給她大成本的明星待遇, 邀請眾多音樂人Arthur Baker, Andy Goldmark, Russ Kunkel, Phil Ramone, G.E. Smith, Paul Samwell-Smith, Don Was, Tom "T-Bone" Wolk擔任製作

賽門除主唱, 合音外, 也演奏電子合成樂器

只是樂評普通

 

首支主打是[Tired of Being Blonde/厭倦當金髮女郎]

此曲由Larry Raspberry譜寫 Paul Samwell-Smith製作成一首合成電子搖滾

節奏中板討巧,

可是成績仍舊不佳, Tired of Being Blonde]只拿到美國Billboard單曲榜#70(副榜-成人當代榜#34)

另拿到澳大利亞榜#95

由於單曲反應冷漠, Spoiled Girl]只拿到Billboard專輯榜#88 創下卡莉事業新低

她跟Epic唱片也分道揚鑣

當外界認為賽門事業已過氣時

1987年她隨即以大碟[Coming Around Again](Arista唱片)東山再起

成功重振聲勢
