老歌亂談(815)Cracklin' Rosie

推薦 2 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台



上一篇談到Neil Diamond替The Monkees寫出了冠軍曲《I'm A Beliver》,而此首於1970發行的《Cracklin' Rosie》,則是他真正自寫自唱首支的冠軍曲。

此曲是Neil Diamond寫給加拿大電台CKLW的音樂總監Rosalie Trombley的,Rosalie Trombley的「聽感」極負盛名,只要被她相中列入播放名單中的歌曲,都很有機會竄紅。由於Neil Diamond之前曾被她打槍了幾次,於此曲歌詞中的疊句「play it now」,被認為是直接在向Rosalie Trombley喊話
懇求現在就播吧!^^


Rosalie Trombley -1973

其實,「Cracklin' Rosie」是一種酒名。Neil Diamond在後來的訪談中透露,他寫這首歌的靈感來源,是聽到一個關於加拿大原住民保留區部落的故事,由於當地男多女少,週末時約不到女伴的男士,就大家圍坐一圈,手中抱著這種稱之為「Cracklin' Rosie」的酒,看來是自我也是相互的安慰吧!歌詞中:Cracklin' Rose, you're a store bought woman,有些嘲諷別人有女伴,自己也有由店裡買來的「女人」。呵呵!的確有那種失意的意境及趣味性。

雖然Neil Diamond自己的冠軍曲只有三首,卻是縱橫歌壇逾半世紀的國際知名歌手。今年 ( 2018 ) 年初,77歲的Neil Diamond忽然自爆得了帕金森氏症,故取消了「出道50年巡迴演唱會」剩餘場次的表演。不過,他表示仍會繼續創作及錄音,要粉絲不用太難過。對此感慨之餘,不禁令想起了麥克阿瑟的名言:老兵不死,只是逐漸凋零

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have made me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin Rose, you're a store bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's al right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin Rose, you're a store-baught woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no question, yeah
