老歌亂談(317)Oh!Darling



這首《Oh!Darling》是披頭合唱團的Pual McCartney所作,收錄於該團1969發行的專輯〈Abbey Road〉之中。雖然此曲在英美兩國未作單曲發行,但在中美洲及日本另搭配其他歌曲 ( B-Side ) 所發行的單曲,均頗為成功。

在錄唱這首歌時,Paul為求好心切,將近有一週的時間,他自己一個人提早先進錄音室 ( 拉嗓 ),因為他覺得他一開始唱的聲音太「清亮」了,他希望他的聲音聽起來像是已連續在舞台上表演了一個禮拜。但他每天只錄唱一次,若是覺得沒有一氣呵成,就明天再來。Lennon卻是有些不以為然,後來他在1980與「花花公子雜誌」的訪談中提到:《Oh!Darling》是保羅很棒的一首歌,而他沒有唱得很好。我一直認為我可以唱得比他好,因為這是我的曲風嘛。但歌是他寫的,而見鬼了,他就是要唱它。

此曲另有個「即興版」( 收錄於1996發行的Anthology 3 ),當時Lennon告訴大家,小野洋子 ( Toko Ono ) 和首任丈夫的離婚終於成立,或許是太高興了,Lennon還在歌曲中加了一句「I'm free at last」。

吉他手George Harrison描述說,由於和弦的結構,這是一首典型的60─70年代的歌曲。有位Udn部落格的女台長認為此曲適合當年舞會的「黑燈舞曲」。嗯,想像一下,的確相當的羅曼蒂克。





Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
(Oh, believe me darling)
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
