老歌亂談(667)If I Needed You

推薦 2 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台



此曲為美國鄉村歌手兼歌曲作家Townes Van Zandt於1972年發行的自寫自唱曲。雖然Zandt本身有些才華,也闖蕩歌壇多年,但他的名氣反而是由於其他知名歌手將他的歌曲唱紅而得來 ( 像是Willie Nelson和Merle Haggard合翻唱他的《Pancho and Lefty》,獲得鄉村榜的冠軍 )。此首《If I Needed You》也是在原曲發行9年後 ( 1981 ),由Emmylou Harris和Don Williams雙人合翻唱,在鄉村榜拿下了第3名,而成為了熱門曲。

由於長期濫用藥物及酗酒等,終於導致
Townes Van Zandt在1997的新年因心律失常而過世,僅享年52歲。

此曲也出現在2012比利時的電影《The Broken Circle Breakdown》( 台譯:愛的餘燼 )中。電影講的是女刺青師和藍草樂手的愛戀糾葛故事,獲得奧斯卡最佳外語片的提名。

If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me, for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain.

Well, the night's forlorn and the morning's born
And the morning's born with the lights of love
And you'll miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two.

If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me, for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain.
--- Instrumental ---
Baby's with me now since I showed her
How to lay her lily hand in mine
Who could, I'll agree she's a sight
To see a treasure for the poor to find.

If I needed you would you come to me
Would you come to me, for to ease my pain
If you needed me I would come to you
I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain...
