这里将英文歌词中的单词、短语、语法、句义进行简单注释,使大家能够深刻体会歌曲的丰富涵义!!
《More Than I Can Say》
《More Than I Can Say》,是杰瑞·埃利森(Jerry Allison)和桑尼·库尔梯斯(Sonny Curtis)创作的,产生于50年代初期,开始是由Bobby Vee 在1961年唱红的,后来Leo Sayer于1980将之重新诠释。此曲因此成为80年代恋情男女吐露新生的抒情经典,1980年分别获得金唱片奖第二名、美国排行榜5周亚军、成人抒情榜3周冠军和英国榜亚军单曲。虽是不同的唱法和编曲配乐,两种版本其实各有千秋,唯前一版本如今少见就是。
其实这首歌,本来是西部风格,曲子本身的节奏也很突出,本来随意地唱来,贴近自然,效果只有更好。不过所谓境由心生,恐怕最好的版本,应该是适于青年男女,在乐声伴奏下,围着篝火起舞的时候用的 。
