瞎子摸象,沒完沒了; 聾子唱歌,一遍又一遍 ----紐約堂叔

今天,我給大家帶來的又是一首世界名曲《take me home country road》。
這首歌在過去的幾十年中盛唱不衰,至今在美國各種大型音樂節上是必唱的曲目。
這首歌的作曲和首唱是John Denver,也是他的成名曲。歌曲描述年輕人在回家的路上懷念他的,猶如天堂般的西弗吉尼亞,和他日夜思念的戀人。
大家知道,從50--60年代開始的搖滾風以來,早期一些美國產的音樂歌唱形式便逐漸「沾染」了搖滾情趣,以致相互之間的區別越來越小了,像jazz和country music 便是如此,當他們一旦配上電子樂器,再適當地強化一些節奏,就變成搖滾了;當然,他們很可能只是輕搖滾。《Take me home country road》便是這樣一首歌。
我被邀請在今年紐約長島的一個音樂節上演唱了這首歌,是由電子樂器伴奏的,名歌手John Kal 為我親自伴唱,堂嬸用手機現場錄音的。今天發表出來,希望大家喜歡。

《Take me home country road》歌詞
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads
