痞客邦的布魯斯

話說今天晚上我的麻吉布萊恩傳來了某一部復古電影「Rock of Ages」的原聲帶，接著就一發不可收拾的讓我們跌進了上個世紀八零年代的那個美好的時光，一首又一首的歌曲通通被挖了出來。首先是1983年，但是布萊恩說1983年他才九歲那些歌他都不熟，所以不公平。接著就變成了1987年囉，神奇的事情就發生了，因為發現了一首當年很紅，但是後來幾乎就再也沒有聽過的歌曲：Billy Vera & the Beaters的「At This Moment」。

  

先來聽聽這首歌吧！



查了一下我的好朋友Wikipedia的說明，這首歌竟然是早在1981年就出版了，但是成績並不突出，一直到1986年因為一部電視劇「Family Ties」拿了這首歌當做劇中某個場景的背景音樂，所以又重新發行了單曲，然後很神奇的竟然在1987年的年初登上了當年Billboard Top100的單曲冠軍。

1987年，其實我也還不滿18歲啊，小毛頭根本什麼都不懂，卻還是要強說愁，結果好了，現在已經成為中年歐吉桑了，再度聽到這首歌卻是百感交集啊！這首歌究竟在唱個什麼艱深的人生道理呢？

What did you think,
I would do at this moment,
When you're standing before me,
With tears in your eyes..
Tryin to tell me that you,
Found you another..
And you just don't love me, No more..

What did you think,
I would say at this moment,
When I'm faced with the knowledge,
That you just don't love me..
Did you think I would curse you,
Or say things to hurt you,
Cause you just don't love me no more..

Did you think I could hate you,
Or raise my hands to you,
Now come on you know me too well..
How could I hurt you,
When darling I love you,
And you know, I'd never hurt you..

What do you think,
I would give at this moment,
If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life..
I'd fall down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on,
If I could just hold you again..

I'd fall down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on baby,
If I could just hold you..
If I, Could just, Hold you..
If I....If I could just hold you.
Again.

其實還是那個最古老的感情課題，面對失去的戀情，還是要強打起精神，沒有恨，沒有怨，只要能留住對方，我什麼都可以犧牲，什麼都可以不要。所以誇張的事情來了，只要你留下，我願意折壽（這什麼鬼啊？），我願意趴下去舔那些你走過的土地......我的天啊！

好了，我們還是享受那一份復古的雋永歌聲吧，懷念那個永遠的八零年代！
