呵呵，发两首俗歌，争取早日成为本科生

发现自己不是本科生，连夜猫和履虎尾的照片都看不到！


90年代初北京有线台经常放MV，下面这段 JASON DONOVAN 的 Rhythm Of The Rain 就是那时候听到的，第一感就是“阳光”



几年后看了歌词才发现和“阳光”没多大关系，说的是和女朋友分手，但是为嘛给我的感觉一点也不悲伤呢？

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater



又过了若干年，某个多雨的城市，初冬的下午，心情复杂的我送她上了飞机......

坐大巴从机场回城里的时候，耳边又响起了这首歌，恰好窗外也是细雨绵绵......每句歌词都好像打在自己的心上......

回到家上youtube，找到了另一段MV......



ps: 多诺万并非原唱，原唱是60年代的cascades:



嘿嘿，对音乐的兴趣其实不算大，至少没有对音乐家的八卦（比如某某喜欢上了自己的老师/某某和贵族家的女学生谈恋爱）兴趣大，不过俺喜欢动漫，电影也还凑合，所以能记住的大都是动漫和电影里的歌，随便说俩。

1，看早安越南的时候，对what a wonderful world印象相当深:



后来又在数个电影里听到过这首歌，包括被称为“未来战士颓废版”的“12 猴子”（96年，布鲁斯.威利斯）

2，蒂凡尼早餐里面的moon river，这个大家都很熟吧：
奥黛莉赫本在电影里的片段


Andy Williams 的：


好像还是男声给人感觉更好



其他的，像007里有几首也不错，不过太晚了，没精力去找了......

自从这首让我百听不厌的《Smooth》之后，俺就开始特喜欢Rob Thomas的歌，就是有感觉！

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My mu equita my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
Yea

And if you say, "This life ain't good enough"
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name callin' me out
Out from the barrio you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you say, "This life ain't good enough"
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

And just like the ocean under the moon
Well it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart make it real
Or else forget about it
Yeah

Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
(Gimme your heart make it real)
Or else forget about it
(yeah)
Let's don' forget about it
(Oh, no, no)
   (Oh)
Let's don' forget about it
(Oh, no, no)
   (Oh)
Let's don' forget about it
(yeah)
(Ahh, Ohh)
Let's don' forget about it
(Yeah, yeah)









最后来俩欢快的，最后那个可不是他的



My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching tv
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on

俺初中听的第一盘英文歌词带里有这首Rhythm Of The Rain.
今天第一次看金发帅哥版MV，当他耸着大白膀子挤眉弄眼的时候，我的小心脏居然有点受不了

俺家honey也很喜欢Smooth，不过他更喜欢里面那个戴黑墨镜的老大，Santana，和他的西班牙吉他，买了其很多CD。

刚刚发现Santana居然和我最喜欢的黑人女歌手Alicia Keys合作过Black Magic Woman (Santana代表作之一) 。

最喜欢的还是RAIINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD

发现60年代的cascades版是我蛮喜欢。记得第一次听是在刚出国时，下雨天。那时还录了一盘60年代经典歌曲磁带，可惜已经不知道去哪里了。

哈哈，那段视频确有“买肉”的嫌疑

觉得他有点像迪卡普里奥

呵呵，90年代初在中关村地坛上兜售的所谓“英文十大金曲”的带子里就有这首歌。

除了这个，cascades还留下了不少别的经典
