    美國歌唱團體[第五維度]──靈魂/流行抒情曲──[(Last Night) I Didnt Get to Sleep at All(昨晚)我根本沒睡著]

     

     

    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all, no, no
    I laid, waked and watched until the morning light
    Washed away the darkness of the lonely night

    Last night I got to think maybe I should call you up
    And just forget my foolish pride
    I heard your number ringing
    I were cold inside
    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all

    I know its not my fault I did my best
    God knows this heart of mine could use a rest

    What more and more I find the dreams I left behind
    Are somehow too real to replace

    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all
    The sleeping pill I took was just a waste of time
    I couldnt close my eyes cause you were on my mind

    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all
    Didnt get to sleep, no I didnt get to sleep at all

    What more and more I find the dreams I left behind
    Are somehow too real to replace

    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all, no, no
    The sleeping pill I took was just a waste of time
    I couldnt close my eyes cause you were on my mind

    Last night I didnt get to sleep at all
    No I didnt get to sleep, didnt get to sleep at all

     

     

     

    1972年3月,美國非裔男女歌唱團體第五維度推出第七張大碟[Individually and Collectively/個人和集體](Bell唱片發行),Bones Howe製作,樂評出色.

    大碟登上告示牌流行專輯榜#58,副榜──R&B專輯榜#21.

     

     

    大碟首支單曲是[(Last Night) I Didnt Get to Sleep at All(昨晚)我根本沒睡著]

    Tony Macaulay創作,Bill Holman 編曲。

    Bones Howe製作成一首靈魂/流行抒情曲,編曲精緻.旋律悅耳,女主唱Marilyn McCoo歌聲溫柔迷人.

    由來自洛杉磯的 Wrecking Crew 樂隊樂手伴奏.

     

     

    英國人Tony Macaulay1972年東京參加世界流行歌曲節期間開始創作這首歌。

    他遇到同場的卡本特樂團(The Carpenters),並受到啟發,創作一首模仿他們熱門歌曲[Weve Only Just Begun]的歌曲

    Macaulay回憶說,由於時區變化,「我在東京整夜不眠,白天也睡得正香。所以我晚上起床就寫了這首歌」。

    雖然他在東京度過無數個不眠之夜,但他在那裡創作的是旋律,而不是歌詞。

    歌詞是在麥考利返回倫敦後完成的,「當時他坐出租車堵在路上……從倫敦的一邊到另一邊大約需要一個小時」。

     

    Macaulay把這首歌的樣帶發給了卡本特樂團。

    「他們說很喜歡這首歌,會把它做下來。[後來]凌晨兩點左右我接到一個電話,把我吵醒了(他們還沒搞清楚這裡和美國的時差)。他們說『哦,我們不能錄這首歌,因為裡面提到了安眠藥,安眠藥就是毒品,而我們沒提毒品。』

    於是我半夜起來,重寫了最後一段歌詞,去掉了安眠藥。

    然而,Macaulay對歌詞的改動並不滿意,所以當Bones Howe在下週聯繫他時,麥考利向第五維度樂隊推薦了“(Last Night)...”,他們把安眠藥的提法原封不動地錄了下來。

     

    (Last Night) I Didnt Get to Sleep at All登上美國告示牌單曲榜#8(1972年榜#31),

    1991年追加白金唱片(100萬張)認證。

    副榜──Easy Listening榜#2,靈魂榜#28.

    加拿大#6(1972年榜#77) 

    澳洲#7.
