mynowitzki之心靈情事

最近真是迷上老歌, 無論是英文或是中文的, 真是百聽不厭阿  

就像這首 I've Never Been to Me, 知道歌詞所要表達的意思之後, 更是越聽越有味道~~~~原唱是 Charlene, 最初是在 1977年發行的, 不過那時候並沒有獲得很大的迴響. 而是五年後, 1982年一位在佛羅里達的 DJ在節目中播放這首歌, 得到聽眾的迴響. 然後唱片公司就把這首歌曲拿出來重新錄製並且加上口白推出. 這一次就紅遍歐美. 
不過 Charlene 也只有這一首歌曲紅. 目前則是移居到英國當快樂的家庭主婦 ^^

歌詞 - 

I've Never Been to Me

Hey lady,　you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But,
I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you.....

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California and, anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places and friendly faces
because I had to be free  
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...

Please lady, please lady
don't just walk away
'cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
won't you share a part of a weary heart
that has lived million lies.......

Ooh I've been to Niec and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
that a woman ain't supposed to see.......
I've been to paradise,
but I've never been to me.......

口白

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you're going to make love with tonight
that's truth, that's love.........


Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I.....I took the sweet life I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free....

hey lady......
I've been to paradise......
but I've never been to me..........


這首歌曲出現的年代是 1977年, 說不定與當時的嘻皮風潮漸漸過去有關........
歌詞大意就是勸解年輕女孩不要玩的太瘋太兇而讓自己未來後悔.
結婚生子還是比較踏實的幸福. 


這把年紀聽這首歌實在是有所感觸阿
只是阿萱說, 我一點都不用擔心, 我根本就不會有玩太兇的問題
因為我太懶了 = =

總之, 這是首很棒的歌曲 ^^
