老歌亂談(875)Crying Time

推薦 4 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台



1964,美國鄉村歌手Buck Owens發行了一張單曲《I've Got A Tiger By The Tail》,奪得了鄉村榜的冠軍,而B面這首由他自己所寫的《Crying Time》,卻連排行榜的邊都沒摸到。

不過,美國盲人歌手Ray Charles卻覺得此曲頗適合他的風格,而在1966翻唱。其實,Ray Charles在之前的1962,同樣是翻唱鄉村歌曲---Don Gibson的《I Can't Stop Loving You》(1957),已嚐過了甜頭 ( 在美、英排行榜都獲得了冠軍 )。而這次依樣畫葫蘆,雖然在告示牌熱門排行榜只得到第6名,卻在1967為他贏得了「最佳節奏藍調唱片」及「最佳節奏藍調獨唱歌手」的兩座葛萊美獎。
 


翻唱此曲的歌手眾多,幾乎知名的鄉村歌手都到齊了,如:Skeeter Davis、Brenda Lee、Martina McBride、George Jones & Tammy Wynette、Marty Robbins、Freddy Fender……,流行歌手則有Elvis Presley、Roy Orbison、Dean Martin、Connie Francis等等等等。美國女演員兼歌手Barbra Streisand和Ray Charles現場合唱的版本,收錄在 Streisand 1973的專輯中 ( 1974的專輯另有個人獨唱版 )。美國鄉村女歌手Lorrie Morgan為1993的電影《The Beverly Hillbillies》( 台譯:豪門新人類 ) 演唱此曲作為插曲,其版本在鄉村單曲 / 插曲排行榜只獲得第59名。

女友找到更好的對象要離開了,心碎難捨之下,掉淚或許難免,而搞到要crying,以「男兒有淚不輕彈」的東方文化,感覺似乎有點太過了些。^^








原唱
Buck Owens和Emmylou Harris的合唱版,收錄在Qwens 1989的專輯《Act Naturally》中。


Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' Oooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
(That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)
