《Bridge Over Troubled Water》

昨夜在肯雅兰商业中心发现了LiteFM推荐的《Voices》专辑竟然也有盗版的...
虽然我一直不支持盗版...但基于经济考量，而且这种Collection Album我都不认为值得买正版的...

我最近的确是买了一些正版的DVD...
《Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert in Royal Albert Hall》和《Andrew Lloyd Webber Anniversay in Royal Albert Hall》：前者RM29.90，后者RM39.90。（那么巧都是在Royal Albert Hall的Concert...不是同一天买的哦~）
之所以买他们是因为我觉得有收藏的价值...百看不厌...（之前看过了）

言归正传
《Voices》买回去之后听了里面的歌...不是很多很好听...
不过有Charlotte Church、 Becky Taylor、 Hayley Westenra、 Sarah Brightman等...
真正感动我的...是Charlotte Church的〈Bridge Over Troubled Water〉...
真得很喜欢她的声音...
之后才发现，原来这首歌大有来头：
1970年由Simon and Garfunkel双人组创作并演唱，
之后登上Billboard榜首长达6周！
也在英国单曲排行榜登上榜首长达3周！
1971年，获Grammy Award Record of the year、 Song of the year、 Best Contemporary Song、 Best Written Song 和Album of the year...
之后被不少歌手重新演绎，包括Whitney Houston、 Aretha Franklin、 Bon Jovi、 LeAnn Rimes、 Anthony Callea、 Leona Lewis、 Jennifer Holliday等...就连邓丽君和蔡依林也唱过！（我的消息真的很慢...）
很喜欢这种歌曲...喜欢听Charlotte Church的版本...她的声音太棒了~！
Charlotte, please come back to classical!

〈Bridge Over Troubled Water〉

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
Oh When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
