老歌亂談(248)It Don't Come Easy

 

一直到這首《It Don't Come Easy》出現之前,我都不知道披頭合唱團的鼓手Ringo Starr會唱歌,主要也可能是當年他所主唱的幾首披頭歌曲不太紅的緣故。

披頭合唱團的McCartney於1970年4月公開宣佈退出後,團員雖然各奔前程,但仍都在歌唱界努力發展。Ringo Starr也在同年底發行了兩張專輯,而這首《It Don't Come Easy》則是他在1971年推出的單曲,除了在加拿大登上了排行榜的冠軍,在美國及英國也都獲得了第4名。

看來Ringo Starr的人緣還不錯,在錄這首歌時,披頭的主奏吉他手George Harrison不僅擔任吉他伴奏,還親自錄唱了這首歌當作示範帶;音樂部份除了有其他知名樂師參與,鼓手還是由Starr自己上場。另,擔任合音的為The Badfinger樂團的主唱Pete Ham和貝士手Tom Evans。 ( 令人駭聞的是:Ham後來在1975上吊自殺 / 27歲。而Evans也在1983上吊自殺 / 36歲。當然,他們自殺的原因都和這首歌曲完全無關。)

 




Ringo Starr之後也推出了不少的歌曲,但我聽聽都不怎麼喜歡。這首歌的音效有點小,建議可將音量轉大些來聽。

 

 

It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.

It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
The future won't last,
It will soon be over tomorrow.

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it just ain't easy.

Open up your heart, let's come together,
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better.

(ah -)
(ah -)
(ooh-ooh)
(ah-ooh-ooh)

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it.

從喊「警察離開」、「警察後退」到「警察暴力」......
但等聽到「狼要來了」,又趕快報警,要求「警察保護」。
這是何等荒謬的台灣民主?

代表維護社會法治正義的警察,竟還要保護非法行為的學生。唉~!

學生那種自以為是、加碼暴衝、大言不慚的嘴臉,看了就令人討厭。

這首歌是送給
立法院的學生嗎?

版主回應
這倒不是。
但我對學生自認為是捍衛民主以及是代表人民的聲音,
非常的不以為然!
