老歌亂談(888)Christmas Must Be Tonight

推薦 4 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台



此首《Christmas Must Be Tonight》為The Band樂團的吉他手兼主唱Robbie Robertson所寫,而主唱此曲的為貝士手Rick Danko,收錄在The Band 1977的專輯《Islands》。

The Band成立初期為美國搖滾歌手Ronnie Hawkins的專屬樂隊 (1960─1964),後又受僱於Bob Dylan參與巡演 (1965─1967)。1968才開始以The Band團名闖蕩流行音樂界,終至聲名大噪。

The Band有不少首的暢銷熱門曲,像是《The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down》、《I Shall Be Released》、《The Weight》......等等。看此曲影音中的圖片,也讓人有頗多的感慨,團員中的鍵盤手Richard Manuel ( 早期為鼓手 ) 於1986自殺身亡 ( 42歲 ),貝士手Rick Danko於1999或因酗酒嗑藥導致心臟衰竭在睡夢中過世 ( 55歲),鼓手Levon Helm則是在2012因喉癌辭世 ( 71歲),老兵終究還是會凋零。

亂談(558)The Weight



 
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
Wheels start turning, torches start burning
And the old wise men journey from the East

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Be tonight
Be tonight
Be tonight
Be tonight
