SINÉAD O'CONNOR - 5/3 : Nothing Compares 2U - PRINCE




"Nothing Compares 2 U"
1990年, Chysalis Records 唱片公司給 Sinéad O'Connor 演譯此曲, 並收錄在她的第二張單曲細唱片的 A-面, B-面是"Jump In The River"。原曲是歌手 Prince 1985年的作品, 收錄在他的樂隊同名字專輯 "The Family" 當中, 但不被樂迷注目。

"Nothing Compares 2 U" - PRINCE
Sinéad 演譯的版本成了1990年世界樂壇的熱捧歌曲; 同曲一輯被認為是 "MTV音樂電視" 典範的視像影片, 背景在法國巴黎拍攝, 而 Sinéad 的頭像, 憂鬱眼神, 眼淚盈眶, 灰黯的景像在歌曲相互出現, 這視頻在世界樂壇的電視節目不停播放。

Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7,1958 - April 21, 2016)


"THE FAMILY" - Prince
Prince 的作品, 歌曲唱出被愛人抛棄的感受、思念和渴求,  Prince 與他的樂隊 "The Family" 選取 Jazz-Funk 的格調演譯, 有異於 Sinéad O'Connor, 她的腔調如哀嗚, 因惦念母親在1985年的車禍中喪生, 這是真情流露的演譯; 雖然母親曾給她幼時有不快的經歴, 但失去母親的感受, 特别在最後一段歌詞的一聲 "媽媽 Mama" 與原作 "Sugar" 或 "Baby" 有不同。她悲憫動人的面容和淚眼, 在此曲的視像, 加添了幾分悲哀和失落, 成了另一篇愛的頌歌。
 



性 情 直 率
Sinéad O'connor 的演譯, 尤其是她剃光了頭的形像, 引起世界樂壇哄動一時, 令致她與作曲的 Prince 在一次會面時引起衝突, 面斥她在 "MTV 音樂電視" 的表現和做作過份誇張, 指她錯用感情於一首男女愛情歌曲上; 最終, 以她的性格, 還以一句 "FCUK OFF", 揮袖而去。日後, 有記者問及此事, 她回應說: " 一個歌手把自己內心感受投入歌曲裡, 做自己認為對的事, 有何不妥呢? 是否要我以後不作現場演譯此曲嗎? "

Music & Lyric : Prince
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
