老歌亂談(940)Beneath Still Waters



此曲為鄉村音樂詞曲作家Dallas Frazier於1967所寫,同年由鄉村歌手George Jones錄唱並收錄於其1968的專輯《My Country》中。1970,澳洲出生的美籍女歌手Diana Trask發行此曲的單曲,在告示牌鄉村榜獲得第38名。
 


1979,美國鄉村女歌手Emmylou Harris翻唱此曲,收錄在其1980專輯《Blue Kentucky Girl》中,並作為第2首單曲發行。1981,此版本攻下告示牌鄉村榜的第1名,也是Harris的第4首冠軍曲。

2005發行了一部與此曲同名的靈異驚悚片《Beneath Still Waters》( 譯名:止水之下 ),台灣似未引進。看影評,由於影片超現實的劇情背景,有些給予的評價並不高。
 


有些感情的情況,表面看似平靜無波,但其實已生變,如水下的暗流洶湧。好在歌曲女主角已體認到男友將會離去,可避免承受突如其來的重擊。而每次聽這種失戀歌曲,難免會受到一些情緒感染而替之感到不捨。



荷蘭樂團Xanur的版本,這位女主唱的歌喉也相當的不錯。

Beneath still waters
There's a strong undertow
The surface won't tell you
What the deep water knows

Darling, I'm saying
I know something's wrong
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take its turn at misery
And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take its turn at misery
And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
 
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
