老歌亂談(856)Tell Me ( You're Coming Back )
此曲為英國滾石合唱團 ( The Rolling Stones ) 的主唱Mick Jagger與吉他手Keith Richard所合寫，收錄在1964與樂團同名、也是樂團的首張專輯中。此曲對Jagger和Richard來說意義重大，算是倆人初試啼聲的處女之作，也是首支在美國發行的自寫單曲。當時美國的流行樂壇是R&B及像是Marvin Gaye等的Motown歌手當道，但此首《Tell Me ( You're Coming Back )》卻不追求風潮，在另走自己的風格下也成為了流行，而大獲樂評的贊賞。此曲在美國排行榜獲得第24名佳績，Jagger和Richard也自此對寫歌產生了相當的自信。
此曲被引用在1973的電影《Mean Streets》( 台譯：殘酷大街 )中，此為Martin Scorsese ( 馬丁史柯西斯 ) 首度執導的黑幫電影，據說電影使用的多首音樂版權費，就佔了拍片預算的一半。而在片中飾演混混的Robert De Niro ( 勞勃 狄尼洛 )，也自此和黑幫角色脫不了身。而台長較欣賞的是片中的男主角Harvey Keitel ( 哈維 凱托 )，年輕時的他，看起來是帥氣又沉穩。
Mean Streets的電影片段
I want you back again
I want your love againI know you find it hard to reason with me
But this time it is different, darling you will see
[Chorus]
You got to tell me you are coming back to me[x4]
[Verse 1]
You said we are through before
You walked out on me before
I tried to tell you, but you did not want to know
This time you are different and determined to go
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I wait as the days go by
I long for the nights to go by
I hear the knock on my door that never comes
I hear the telephone that has not rung
[Chorus]
