今晚聽到這首Eagles的標題歌曲,當Don Henley的嗓音飆起,到最後強而有力的background結束,在在令我雞皮疙瘩掉滿地,

太有Eagles的神采了!

天哪~真慶幸自己在八十年代聽西洋歌曲時,追回了這支經典樂團(因當時他們早已「收攤」數年)。

現在,28年後再見到他們,令我也不禁貪心地想起另一支叫Journey的樂團...Steve Perry,您在哪啊?

Long Road Out Of Eden/written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit

Moon shining down through the palms
shadows moving on the sand
somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
dusty rifle in his trembling hands

somebody trying just to stay alive
he got promises to keep
over the ocean in america
far away and fast asleep

silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by
galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born
pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
but it's a long road out of eden

music blasting from an suv
on a bright and sunny day
rolling down the interstate
in the good ol' usa

having lunch at the petroleum club
smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
he said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"
"gimme ‘nother piece o' that pecan pie!"

freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
we're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon
captains of the old order clinging to the reins
assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
but it's a long road out of eden

back home i was so certain
the path was very clear
but now i have to wonder: “what are we doing here?”
I'm not counting on tomorrow
and i can't tell wrong from right
but i'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight

weaving down the american highway
through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
and now we're driving dazed and drunk

been down the road to damascus,
the road to mandalay
met the ghost of caesar on the appian way
he said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."
"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."

behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
but all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
and it's a long road out of eden

有位Eagles fan把這首Long Road Out Of Eden做成MV,是一堆Eagles成員照片的組合,但重點還是聽歌吧!
