悠揚無比的深海樂章-Ocean Deep
有沒有這麼一首曲子,你十幾歲聽的時候覺得還好,怎麼年過三十,卻驚覺怎麼有這麼一首真有如蔚藍深海般的悠揚樂章呢?
是曲子變了,還是你的心境變了?
Ocean deep是Cliff Richard在八零年代的一首作品,說實在英國排行榜27的成績並不算突出,但這首曲子很特別,許多歌手總愛翻唱,譬如在台灣就有優克李林和周華健也演繹過。當然林志炫和周華健都是很強悍的唱將,唱起來也各有味道。不過這依然無法讓我在十幾歲的時候對這首歌曲有感覺。
當初一開始是聽到林志炫版版本,爾後在一些精選集裡,因為這首歌曲當初的名次並非名列前矛,所以介紹總愛寫些優克李林翻唱或者最深情雋永的樂章之類。曲子的步調算是中間偏慢,可能年輕時候性子比較急躁,所以選曲時總愛將它跳過。即使有些時候聽到,印象也只有ocean deep, I’m so afraid to show my feeling這歌詞而已。
但後來當有次我閒暇之時隨手找張買了十來年的西洋精選輯聆聽時,這時候已經用了比較好的音響播放。哇!!怎麼那麼好聽!!整個情感非常澎湃又悠揚,這不剛好是我這種雅痞男的調調嗎?(XD)
扯遠了,回來。因為之前埋沒這首好曲子很久,所以特地又再回去聽聽林志炫和周華健的版本,發覺,即使音色各勝擅場,也都做出些細節上的改變。但對這首歌曲而言,林志炫當時的聲音似乎太細了些(對我而言,),周華健則太軟了些(對我而言),都不若原唱般的恰到好處。當然在配樂方面也是原曲做的比較好些。
歌詞描述的其實非常簡單,但卻又相當不簡單。簡單的部份其實就是男生的發春呢喃…。這樣說好像很低俗。但接下來就不簡單了,當你遙想南極洋,那種一望無際,幾片湛白的浮冰漂流在深藍海水的感覺,一種開闊的感覺就此浮現,整個歷歷在目了。如果此時再傳來幾句鯨魚的聲納,不就悠揚孤獨了起來嗎?(悠揚開闊卻又孤獨鬱悶?這也挺慘的XD)
話說鯨魚的叫聲有些時候也是在求偶……
事情的本質都一樣,端看你怎麼描述它而已。描述的好就叫文學藝術,賣相不佳就變低俗…
這雖然是一首悶騷的求偶歌,但很有文學藝術氣息XD(也很耐聽)
Ocean Deep
Love, can't you see I'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night
Please don't leave me behind
No, don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all
Oh love, I've been searching so long
I've been searching high and low
A little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all
I wanna spread my wings
But I just can't fly
As string of pearl and pretty girls
Go sailing by --
Ocean deep --
(So hard for me to say it)
I'm so afraid to show my feeling
(You're the only one I love)
I have sailed a million ceilings
(Just can't reveal it)
Solitary room --
Ocean deep --
(May be, may be)
Will I ever find a lover
(Maybe she has found)
Maybe she has found another
(Another)
Ans as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I'll keep
Ocean deep
Love can't you hear when I call
Can't you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am I still alone
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask and that is all
