美國音樂才子［王子］＋［革命樂團］──迷幻-流行／放克曲──［Paisley Park／佩斯利公園］

 

One, two, one, two, three

There is a park that is known
For the face it attracts
Colorful people whose hair
On 1 side is swept back
The smile on their faces
It speaks of profound inner peace
Ask where theyre going
Theyll tell you nowhere
Theyve taken a lifetime lease
On Paisley Park

The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color
This place imparts (Paisley Park)
Admission is easy, just say you
Believe and come to this
Place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart

There is a woman who sits
All alone by the pier
Her husband was naughty
And caused his wife so many tears
He died without knowing forgiveness
And now she is sad, so sad
Maybe shell come to the park
And forgive him
And life wont be so bad
In Paisley Park

The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color
This place imparts (Paisley Park)
Admission is easy, just say you
Believe and come to this
Place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart

See the man cry as the city
Condemns where he lives
Memories die but taxes
Hell still have to give
(Who) whoever said that elephants
Were stronger than mules?
Come to the park
And play with us
There arent any rules
In Paisley Park

The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color
This place imparts (Paisley Park)
Admission is easy, just say you
Believe and come to this
Place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart

The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color
This place imparts (Paisley Park)
Admission is easy, just say you
Believe and come to this
Place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart

Your heart, your heart
Paisley Park
Your heart, your heart, your heart (sing, sing it)
Paisley Park, Paisley Park, Paisley Park

 

 

 

１９８４年６月，２６歲的美國音樂鬼才王子（Prince）主演歌舞片〔Purple Rain／紫雨〕

票房鼎盛．

他並配合電影發行自寫自編自製的原聲帶（Paisley Park／Warner Bros.出版）

並與伴奏樂團革命（The Revolution）共同製作（雖然仍由王子主導）

單曲跟電影的成功讓原聲帶封王　蟬聯整整２４週冠軍　至今在美國賣出１３白金，全球兩千多萬張

將王子提升到麥可傑克森（Michael Jackson）一樣的歌壇天王地位．

 

１９８５年４月，王子與革命樂團乘勝追擊　推出第七張錄音室大碟［Around the World in a Day］，

仍由王子創作（除兩曲外）, 並全權製作／編曲,以及參與大部份樂器伴奏，

這回王子嘗試迷曲風, 樂風更豐富，只是樂評好壞兩極。

 

雖然［Around the World in a Day］無法與〔Purple Rain／紫雨〕的大賣相提並論

但仍登上美國Billboard專輯榜王座, 為王子第二張美國榜冠軍（1985年榜#26），拿到雙白金（２００萬張＋）

英國榜＃５－金唱片（10萬張）．德國＃１０，荷蘭冠軍，瑞典冠軍．

在美國與國際銷售相對不錯，穩定王子的超級巨星地位。

 

大碟第二單曲為［Paisley Park／佩斯利公園］──只在歐洲與澳紐等國際市場發行，在某些地區是專輯第一單曲，

王子將其製作成一首迷幻-流行／放克曲，

歌曲中的小提琴由 Novi Novog 演奏，Wendy 和 Lisa 擔任和聲。

其餘部分由 Prince 演奏。

節奏中板，節拍有勁，王子以真音詮釋，其彈奏的吉他精彩。

 

［Paisley Park／佩斯利公園］登上英國榜＃１８

紐西蘭＃２６　澳大利亞＃３８　

荷蘭＃４０　比利時＃４０．
