《 難 為 正 邪 定 分 界 》?
1982年, 香港無綫電視劇《飛越十八層》, 主題曲由顧嘉輝作曲, 填詞人鄭國江曾表示, 經多次聽過這篇像似藝術歌曲的樂譜後, 並決以歌劇方式撰詞, 內容是魔鬼跟凡人的對峙, 部份歌詞以 "Voice Crossing 交織叠聲" 的演繹。
歌曲中的人物, 由葉振棠演繹凡人, 聲演魔鬼的麥志誠, 是大學音樂系教授兼藝術歌曲演唱家, 為人低調, 這次跟葉振棠是分開錄音, 是他唯一一次灌錄流行歌曲, 之後, 此曲從沒有跟葉振棠現場合唱過, 所以樂迷祇聞其聲而已。

作詞: 鄭國江
作曲: 顧嘉輝
人: 對抗命運但我永不怕捱 過去現在難題迎刃解
人生的彩筆蘸上悲歡愛恨 描畫世上百千態
魔: 控制命運任我巧安排 看似夢幻凡人難盡瞭解
人間的好景給我一朝破壞 榮辱愛恨任分派
人: 努力未願平賣 人性我沒法賤賣
魔: 今天死結應難解
人: 努力興建
魔: 盡情破壞
合: 彼此也在捱
人: 世界腐敗犯法那需領牌 魔鬼: 看吧邪力正強大
人: 法理若在為何強盜滿街 魔鬼: 看吧強盜滿街
人: 人海的衝擊比那蒼海更大 魔鬼: 啊... 啊...

《 難 為 正 邪 定 分 界 》
一幅深深刻記在香港人心裡的寫照, 亦是1982年香港流行樂壇, 一首以 "Voice Crossing 交織叠聲" 演繹的歌曲, 面世之後大受歡迎, 卻被指仿傚 John Denver 和男高音歌唱家 Plácido Domingo 1981年的合唱歌曲 "Perhaps Love", 特別是完結時的一句歌詞 "My memories of love will be of you" 與及《難為正邪定分界》, 兩者的曲調極為相似, 因而被一些樂迷質疑, 顧嘉輝是否抄襲它的曲調呢? 不過, 歌曲作品除了創作靈感的啟發之外, "Voice Crossing 交織叠聲" 和歌劇風格是歌曲演繹的方式之一, 兩曲的旋律與起承轉合的結構模式, 有相同之處是不足為奇, 主要是曲調流暢之外, 更能夠讓樂迷易於朗朗上口。
PERHAPS LOVE - John Denver & Plácido Domingo 1981
Domingo:
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Denver:
Perhaps love is like a windowPerhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Domingo:
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
Denver:
To some as strong as steel
Denver:
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
Domingo:
For some a way to feel
Domingo:
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
Denver:
And some say letting go
Denver:
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
