貝蒂米勒 Bette Midler

情人節快樂!讓我們來一起欣賞~貝蒂米勒的電影歌曲~
 

THE ROSE

Some say love it is a river      有人說,愛是條河
that drowns the tender reed      容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
Some say love it is a razor       有人說,愛是把剃刀
that leaves your soul to bleed.     會任由你的靈魂淌血

Some say love it is a hunger        有人說,愛是種饑渴
an endless, aching need,       一種無盡的帶痛的需求
I say love it is a flower         我說,愛是一朵花
and you it’s only seed        而你,只是花的種籽

It’s the heart afraid of breaking       害怕破碎的心
that never learns to dance           永遠學不會跳舞
It’s the dream afraid of waking          害怕醒來的夢
that never takes the chance        永遠沒有機會

It’s the one who won’t be taken     不願吃虧的人
who cannot seem to give          不懂得付出
and the soul afraid of dying      憂心死亡的靈魂
that never learns to live          不懂得生活

When the night has been too lonely  當夜顯得寂寞不堪
and the road has been too long      去路顯得無盡漫長
and you think that love is only      當你覺得只有幸運者
for the lucky and the strong       及強者才有幸得到愛

Just remember in the winter        謹記,在嚴寒
far beneath the bitter snows        當你覺得只有幸運者冬日裡
lies the seed                躺著一顆種籽
that with the sun’s love        酷雪的覆蓋下
in the spring,               一旦春陽臨照
becomes the ROSE.            就能幻化成一朵 玫瑰
 
“ BEACHES ” 情比姐妹深 (1988 )


主演:貝蒂米勒(Bette Midler)/芭芭拉荷西(Barbara Hershey)
導演:Garry Marshall
主題曲:Wind Beneath My Wings

友情、愛情、忌妒、憐惜、死亡全融於這一部電影

芭芭拉荷西所飾演知書答禮的女孩希拉蕊( Hillary) ,
貝蒂米勒飾演小歌女Sisi 西西,兩個家世背景極度不同的女孩,
小時候在大西洋城的一個沙灘偶然邂逅,通信多年後兩人再度相逢,
雙雙也同時陷入愛河,希拉蕊嫁給跟她相配的律師,西西嫁給音樂
製作人。幾年後,兩人卻落得離婚的下場,結果希拉蕊得了癌症,
兩人化解前怨重修舊好,希拉蕊臨終前託付西西,答應她的遺願,
撫養她的女兒…
 

 
 

一部好的電影也許它的主題曲不是很響亮,但是一首好的電影主題曲
絕對可以使一部不怎麼樣的電影有加分效果, ”無盡的愛 ”
(Endless Love)就是個好例子。

情比姐妹深】就因為有了好聽的主題曲及插曲,全片從煽情變成感動。電影的一開始,就是在排練演唱會的西西接到希拉蕊病危的消息,開車前往探望,路途中回想過去的往事展開故事…

情比姐妹深】西西和希拉蕊這兩個對比的角色,增加了不少耐人尋味的個性上懸殊,也發展出如此珍貴的友誼!同名原著小說的西西改成歌手角色,也讓貝蒂米勒在電影裡展盡了她的歌舞天份,甚至可以說這部電影及原聲帶,若沒有貝蒂米勒絕對是走味的份。

由於西西的身份是歌手,導演蓋瑞馬歇爾安排了許多歌舞場面讓貝蒂米勒
表演,像是「Otto Titsling」用歌舞鬧劇來詼諧諷刺女人的胸罩史「Oh!Industry」用低調電氣音樂來講工業革命的影響,這兩首貝蒂米勒參與製作的單曲都有著百老匯的味道。

此外,原聲帶裡歌曲雖然有許多翻唱曲,但是不論新舊隻隻動聽,從30年代的百老匯名曲(「The Glory of Love」)、40年代爵士樂 (「I`ve Still Got My Health」)、60年代的老歌 (「Under The Boardwalk」),到八十年代的流行R&B「I Know You By Heart」),貝蒂米勒信手捻來似乎無歌不唱,屬於搖滾樂及藍調實力派。


 
 
 
“ The Wing Beneath My Wings ” 主題曲歌詞如下
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jorJh8DTMVM

Oh, oh, oh, oh -
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I’ve got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you’re my hero?
You’re everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
’cause you are the wind beneath my wings.


Fly, fly, fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh, fly, fly,
so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings



*美國911事件後的家屬追悼會, 貝蒂米勒在會上獻唱這首歌

“ From A Distance ” 歌詞如下
http://youtube.com/watch?v=aDSh5wUtXt4

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace,
it’s the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They’re the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves,
it’s the heart of every man.

It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance


 
“ The Glory of Love ”  歌詞如下
 
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2ShkYcemgU

You’ve got to give a little, take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That’s the story of,
That’s the glory of love

You’ve got to laugh a little, cry a little
Until the clouds roll by a little
That’s the story of,
That’s the glory of love

As long as there’s the two of us
We’ve got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us
We’ve got each other’s arms

You’ve got to win a little, lose a little
Yes, and always have the blues a little
That’s the story of,
That’s the glory of love

That’s the story of,
That’s the glory of love


 

 
“ The First Wives Club ” 大老婆俱樂部

演員:Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton
https://bit.ly/3pvuHNL


這一部是三個老婆的復仇喜劇片(1996)

起因是忽然有一天,她們收到一張喪禮通知,是原先四個好友中,於
大學時候經常在一起談天說地的其中之一,而且是以自殺來結束生命,
這聽來可真是非常震駭!做為女人,好像畢業以後各自有了家庭,忙得
少有時間再跟老朋友聯絡,誰知感情、婚姻是這麼脆弱,說要走,怎麼
靜悄悄,連一聲再會也沒有說.....

說她們瘋狂也並不瘋狂,可以說她們是三個聰明的女人,設計讓她們的
老公無話可說,只好掏出一大筆錢給她們做離婚贍養費,她們也很懂得
利用這筆錢,還創造出另一番事業呢!

我很喜歡她!
她真的很有喜感~

“ You Don’t Own Me ” 電影插曲歌詞如下

You don’t own me
I’m not just one of your little toys
You don’t own me
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

And don’t tell me what to do
And don’t tell me what to say
And when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display

”Pretty good” ”Im impressed”

You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in anyway
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down, ’cause I’ll never stay

I don’t tell you what to say
I don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young, (I’m young) and I love to be young
I’m free, (so free) and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
To say and do whatever I please
