ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?
All the world's a stage and all men and women merely players
they have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
《 獨 白 歌 曲 》
很多樂迷對撰上
"Monologue 獨白" 的歌曲特别感興趣, 富感情語調的誦讀, 令歌曲感染力大增, 讓聽者產生共嗚。"Oh, How I Miss You Tonight"
1925年面世的情歌, 曾有近六十位歌手演繹過, 男歌手當中, 包括多數樂迷認識的 Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Jim Reeves, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Bobby Vinton, The Platters 等, 而六十個不同版本之中, 可能是由於歌曲内容, 男女合唱或女歌手個人演繹的, 衹有三幾個而已, 其中亦是唯一能夠打進美國流行榜上!
這嶄新版本1960年十二月面世, 以一段似曾相識的音樂 "Intro 引子" 開始, 女歌手富感情的 "Monologue 獨白", 及時打進1960年度 "U.S. Billboard Hot 100" 流行榜上第六十三位, 而早一個月前面世, 亦登榜上第七十四位, 是 Dodie Steven 以一曲 "Yes' I'm Lonesome Tonight", 情心款款的獨白, 回應了 Elvis Presley 的疑問!
"Oh, How I Miss You Tonight
(R) Jeanne Black and sister (L) Janie Black : Backing vocal
Oh, how I miss you tonight
Miss you while lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight
More than you'll never know
Miss you while lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight
More than you'll never know
Each moment though we're apart
You're never out of my heart
But I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only
My darling, I miss you tonight
You're never out of my heart
But I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only
My darling, I miss you tonight
Yes darling
I am lonesome tonight
The days are so long
Seems everything's wrong
I am lonesome tonight
The days are so long
Seems everything's wrong
For now
I'm lonesome and blue
I still love you, dear
I wish you were here
Come back
Forgive me
Please do
I'm lonesome and blue
I still love you, dear
I wish you were here
Come back
Forgive me
Please do
Each moment though we're apart
You're never out of my heart
But I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only
My darling, I miss you tonight
You're never out of my heart
But I'd rather be lonely
And wait for you only
My darling, I miss you tonight
《 默 默 無 言 》
1983年的作品, 撰詞、譜曲、獨白至演繹, 可稱是絕佳的組合, 譜曲: 周啟生、撰詞: 鄭國江、獨白: 倪秉郎、主唱: 張德蘭。至今, 亦成為香港流行樂壇的 "獨白 Monologue" 歌曲代表作之一 ....
《 默 默 無 言 》
世事往往係好奇怪嘅, 我愛過你, 你又愛過我
但係點解呢種感覺唔能夠喺同一個時間出現? 而要一先一後咁湧現喺我哋心裡面?
不過咁都好, 我哋都可以喺對方嘅心裡面, 留下一個美麗嘅影子, 俾我哋偶然去懷念一下
風飄過捲起飛花幾遍, 風過後勾起一串紀念, 無論以前是愛是憐, 仍是那麼艷
今天再共你風中相見, 憶往事彷彿一個轉面, 懷念也是歡欣的一剎, 誰可相愛千萬年
情話多恐怕說沒完, 重提起你默默無言, 難復再相親, 難復再相戀, 所欠是機緣
我哋唔洗為過去惋惜, 世事就喺咁嘅嘞, 有啲野明明以為可以得到嘅, 但係始終都得唔到
有啲嘢喺千辛萬苦之後得到, 又會覺得不外如是, 又甚至係得而復失
與其係咁, 倒不如擁有一份美麗嘅回憶, 一個永恆嘅盼望, 咁咪重好?
今天再共你風中相見, 憶往事彷彿一個轉面, 懷念也是歡欣的一剎, 誰可相愛千萬年
情話多恐怕說沒完, 重提起你默默無言, 難復再相親, 難復再相戀, 所欠是機緣
難復再相親, 難復再相戀, 所欠是機緣
ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? - Elvis Presley
《 默 默 無 言 》的內容和獨白, 與 "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" 有近乎相同的意境, 道出愛情路上的崎嶇。Elvis Presley 的演譯, 至今被樂壇公認為最偉大的 "Monologue 獨白"、"Remade 重編" 和 "Cover 翻唱" 三大系列歌曲, 亦可稱後無來者的經典!
.... "Monologue 獨白" 真的有難度嗎?
