在所有的吉他和弦中，我特別喜歡開放弦的Am，覺得聲音真是好聽，而這也絕對和這首《Keep Searchin' 》有關係。因這首歌是我初學吉他，能夠完整彈唱的西洋熱門歌曲之一，而且在前奏的Am和弦，我們喜歡在靠近下弦枕處擊弦，由於該部位的弦性較為鋼硬，所彈奏出來的聲音也益發清脆。另，在唱出那句〈Follow the Sun-ah〉之前，也以手拍打木吉他的琴身 ( 原曲應是鼓手敲擊鼓邊 )，呵呵，感覺也有加強歌曲熱度的效果。

這是Del Shannon在1964推出的熱門曲，雖然進榜的名次不算高 ( US#9 / UK#3 )，卻是當年相當流行的西洋歌曲。因日前看到Tony Orlando來台演唱的電視廣告，Orlando竟然和另位歌手合唱Del Shannon的《Runaway》 ( 亂談221)，才想起來貼這首歌和大家分享。




No one will understand what I've gotta do
I've gotta find a place to hide with my baby by my side
She's been hurt so much, they treat her mean and cruel
They try to keep us far apart, there's only one thing left we can do
We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to hide
Searchin', searchin', she'll be by my side
If we gotta keep on the run, we'll follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter what people might say
She's mine and I'm gonna take her anyway
Gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to stay
Searchin', searchin', every night and day
If we gotta keep on the run, we'll follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to hide
Searchin', searchin', she'll be by my side
If we gotta keep on the run we'll follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, wee-ooh, follow the sun-ah
