DeBarge-Who's Holding Donna Now


那天因故上台北,晚上順道赴約跟朋友一起吃個飯。吃完我覺得,我果然比較適合吃粗飽的人啊!!松露的味道雖然不錯,但總覺得吃不太慣。不過利用中間空檔我去逛了逛火車站前的一些唱片行準備在一堆二手黑膠中挖寶。而不知是挑的太有架勢還是因為要掌控時間和預算,所以眼神顯的很尖銳。所以有兩位看起來十七、八歲的年輕人好奇的問我一些問題。我回答的很仔細,但一直強調黑膠這種東西不要亂買,因為很佔空間、播放也不方便,保存更是個問題。所以盡量買些經典名盤即可。我講的真的頭頭是道,看到他倆點頭如搗蒜的模樣我就知道我教育成功了。
可是,我後來覺得很沉重,尤其提袋子的兩雙手,重到很痛…
事實證明一件事,我們教導別人的信念自己也常做不到。所以要求自己比較實在點。
但那麼辛苦還是有代價的。挑到幾張經典古典樂就覺得很值得。而除此之外在很沉悶的小店裡也找到許多喜愛的流行歌曲。不知道是不是自己內心感覺在作祟,七、八零年代的流行歌用黑膠播放總感覺特別有味道。
而今天要介紹給大家的一首好歌是Who's Holding Donna Now。這可是一首會讓人心碎的輕快名曲啊!!⋯⋯
歌詞的意思簡單易懂,就是心愛的人離開了。而這男人可能在孤寂的時候回想起過去。這時候想的大概就是這些不可能的任務啦!!
這種心碎的情歌竟然寫的如此輕快,真是反差到了極點。我之前是在高中時候聽到這首歌曲,那時候哪懂這種反差的痛苦呢?
不過這回不小心在一張黑膠合集裡發現這首曲子,原本還是猶豫要不要下手,但看到後面括號裡的介紹寫著美軍電台每日必播名曲…
這感觸實在太深了XD雖然沒親身經歷過那個美軍駐守的年代,但離鄉幾萬哩,這種問題一定會發生的…(默哀三十秒感受一下當時的悲傷情境)
所以決定買了!!
可是後來我覺得怪怪的,這首歌曲是1985年推出的,那時候美軍早就離開台灣好幾年了好嗎?

Sometimes a love won't let go
Hard as I try I know it shows
Everybody's telling me
You'll be over her eventually
But how am I supposed to feel so secure

When I keep wondering who's holding Donna now
And I keep wondering who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes somehow
And I keep wondering who's holding Donna now
And I keep wondering what magic can be found
To turn me back to the one who's holding Donna now

The letter started with good-bye
I've read it half a million times
Tell me this is just a dream
When I wake up she'll be here next to me
Tell me it will be just the way it was

Well I keep wondering who's holding Donna now
And I keep wondering who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now
And I keep wondering who's holding Donna now
And I keep wondering what magic can be found
To turn me back to the one who's holding Donna now

Who's holding Donna now
I keep wondering who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now

Who's holding Donna now
Oh Donna what magic can be found
To make me the one who's holding Donna now
I can't get Donna off my mind

Who's holding Donna now
Keep wondering...
