老歌亂談(521)Everytime You Go Away
這首《Everytime You Go Away》是美國歌手兼歌曲作家Daryl Hall所寫,並與另位歌手John Oates合唱,收錄於其1980發行的專輯《Voices》中,且未發行單曲 ( 故未有入榜名次的問題 )。1985,英國歌手Paul Young翻唱此曲,除了奪得美國告示牌排行的第一名,也成為國際熱門的唱銷曲,但也是他進榜前10名的兩首歌曲中,唯一的一首冠軍曲。
其實,Daryl Hall創作此曲,腦中所想的是福音和靈魂歌曲的曲風,而Paul Young的版本則添加了一些商業的元素,除了將旋律放緩使更有抒情感,在伴奏樂器部份使用了電西塔琴、鋼琴,以及由知名貝司手Pino Palladino彈奏「無衍貝司 ( fretless bass ) 和空心吉他等。
自己的歌曲由別人唱紅,看似是被打臉,但Daryl Hall卻頗有風度,不僅誇讚Paul Young的演唱功力,也認為在所有Hall & Oates的歌曲中,這是他最喜歡的一首翻唱歌曲。或許,為數不少的版稅收入,才是讓他喜歡的真正原因吧!
everytime其實不是一個字,應該分開,唸成every time。而許多寫歌者常會故意弄個錯誤語法的歌名,用意是想吸引一些關注吧!Hall & Oates的原唱版本也曾出現在2009由凱薩琳麗塔瓊斯主演的電影《The Rebound》( 台譯:愛情逆轉勝)中。
Hey!, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, can'tcha see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Looking at the pieces (Every time you go away)
Be careful (You take a piece of me with you)
(Every time you go away) Every time you go, every time you go
(You take a piece of me with you) You take a piece of me!
(Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you) Every time you go!
