終於開始放春假, 這一星期的休息讓我覺得好幸福, 聽我最喜歡的音樂,懶散地坐在沙發上看看書,又可以去爬山,想想心事,這樣輕鬆的日子已經好久沒享受了,今天重新欣賞一些演唱會的實況,聽了一天的音樂,有時被美麗的歌聲覺好感動,看看歌詞,寫得真好.我喜歡Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel 的音樂. 他們是70年代美國出名的歌手,他們許多膾炙人口的音樂,歌詞中總表現出獨有的音樂才華,這兩位來自紐約皇后區的歌手,從1953開始就同讀一樣的小學,兩人的家只有幾條巷子的距離. 高中時又是同班同學. 他們重新相遇是於Simon 畢業於皇后學院,而Garfunkel 則放棄在 Brooklyn Law School繼續就學機會. 他們的第一張專輯是於1964年10月19日發行. 專輯名稱是 “Wednesday Morning 3 AM”, 從1968至2003陸續得過四次葛萊美獎,他們動人的歌曲如 “The Sounds of Silence”, “Homeward Bound”, “I Am a Rock”, “ The Dangling Conversation”, “The Hazy Shade of Winter”, “At the Zoo”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “ The Boxer” , “ Bridge over Troubled Water”, “Ceilia”, “ El Condor Pasa”, “My Little Town”, “Wake Up Little Susie”. Sound of Slience Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I,"You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the signs said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds of silence. Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics (words & music by Paul Simon) When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your aide, oh, When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down, Oh, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out, when you're on the streets When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you I'll take your part when the darkness falls and pain is all around Yes, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Oh, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on, silver girl, sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind Yes, like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind . El Condor Pasa I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail. |
