ALL MY TRIALS《我所有的考驗》2/2 : Original or Remade

 

ALL MY TRIALS《我所有的考驗》- Traditional 

Bob Gibson 的一曲 "Bahamian Lullaby" 1956年面世之後, 不被樂迷關注, 像似消聲匿跡, 但是, 這歌曲被換上新名字 "All My Trials", 由 Cynthia Gooding 重新演繹, 並收錄在她的1957年專輯 "Faithful Lovers and Other Phenomena", 這一曲經 Cynthia 以悲情腔調的演繹之後, 卻引起民歌樂壇的注目。

ALL MY TRIALS, LORD
主啊, 我所有的考驗 

"BAHAMIAN LULLABY", 一首不被注目的歌曲經略為修改, 少一些宗教意識, 以生命與自由的内容, 加上具有人生意義的名字, 成為一首互勵互勉的歌曲"ALL MY TRIALS", 1957年在流行樂壇出現, 對當年美國動盪不安的日子, 和平示威與抗議活動不停, 特別在六十年代的民歌復興時期, 是一首具感染力的贊美詩和勵志歌曲, 之外亦成為葬禮的輓歌。

自此之後, 另有两首用上同一曲調, 而名字與歌詞不同的歌曲陸續面世, 其中一首同樣是1957年的 "All My Sorrows" 亦已成為不少樂迷的摯愛, 另外一首是1962年的作品 "Summer's Come and Gone" 卻少為樂迷認識, 而被傳是 Bob Gibson 原唱的 "Bahamian Lullaby", 與及衹有 Bill Faier 的翻唱版本而已, 不過两者同被樂壇和樂迷早已忘掉了。

BAHAMIAN LULLABY - Traditional 

Bob Gibson 從沒有談及此曲的作者和出處, 直至兩年後, Billy Faier 演繹相同歌曲而歌詞略有不同, 但他卻提及早於1954年, 創作歌手 Erik Darling 曾公開演唱過同一音樂旋律的歌曲, 他更引述 Erik 對認識這歌曲的歴程:「一位來自英屬 West Indies 西印度群島的白人靈修者, 聲稱這首不知名的歌曲是從當地人學來, 自此仍以他們的節奏演繹」

"ALL MY TRIALS" - The Tarriers 1956

1956年, Erik Darling 組成 "The Tarriers" 民歌組合, 直至1965年宣告解散。 三十多年之後, 當年組合的二十六首經典歌曲, 包括早於1956年已完成錄音, 但放棄印製唱片的 "All My Trials", 全部經由 Folk Era Records 唱片公司完成數碼化之後, 印製成CD唱片 2001年面世, 這首四十五年前的歌曲錄音聲軌, 得以回歸樂壇。"The Tarriers" 創隊成員 Erik Darling 於2008年離世。

1956 Recording - ALL MY TRIALS - The Tarriers 2001 CD Version

Hush, little baby, don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

If religion were a thing that money could buy

All the rich would live and the poor would die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

 

Too late, my brothers
Too late, but never mind
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

 

There's a tree in paradise

That's call it the tree of life
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

 

Too late, my brothers
Too late, but never mind
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

ALL MY SORROWS - 1957

Written by Bob Shane, Dave Guard, Nick Reynolds

 
Now there's just one thing that money can't buy
True love that will never die
All my sorrows soon forgotten

Carefree lovers down country lanes
Don't know my grief, can't feel my pain

All my sorrows soon forgotten

But it's too late, my love
Too late but never mind
All my sorrows soon forgotten

Now there's one more thing
That troubles my mind
My love has gone, left me behind

All my sorrows soon forgotten
But it's too late, my love
Too late but never mind
All my sorrows soon forgotten

SUMMER'S COME AND GONE - 1962

Written by Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr
 

Four lonely boys on lonely shore
We've lost our loves forevermore
Time to travel on, summer's come and gone

The beach is bare, the cold winds blow
Where are the girls, we loved them so
We thought love could wait, now we've learned too late

Too late, it's much too late my brothers
Too late we've lingered here too long
Time to travel on, summer's come and gone

Where are loves that we once knew
Where are they now that summer's through?
O, we miss them so, where did summer go?

Too late, it's much too late my brothers
Too late we've lingered here too long
Time to travel, summer's comd and gone
