有空我会介绍些美国的民谣歌手与乐队,象Bob Dylan,Joan Baez,The Weavers等,不过这里先介绍最发烧的Peter Paul And Mary, 他们的名字对于大多数中国听众可能有点陌生,但是说起他们的那些名曲,相信熟悉西方流行歌曲的人都耳熟能详,象什么500 miles, Puff (the magic dragon), lemon Tree等。 我最初听他们的歌的时候还在读初中,基本上我都是跟着这些歌学英语的,那时还不知道他们的大名,就知道那些是著名的美国民歌。他们的歌不但好听,而且纯净的歌声与和声的层次感加上简单的木吉他伴奏,使得他们的很多唱片成为发烧碟,其中这张是最著名的,音色厚润,结像力奇佳,列名TAS天碟榜。




(转自VERYCD)有些人唱歌是为了名利,有些人屹立歌坛,欲为了一份执着的理想,希望透过自己的歌声,传递他们坚决相信真理。在美国的现代民歌史上,曾经有许多著名的艺人与团体,都是以鲜明的政治色彩而著名,包括Pete Seeger,Peter, Paul & Mary三重唱,Bob Dylan 和Joan Baez 等等,都是最标准的例证。他们透过歌唱与实际的行动,狂热的宣扬反战的理念,即使备受争议,甚至遭到逮捕,也在所不惜。事隔多年之后,他们都已经不再年轻,除了其中年龄最大,资历也最久的Pete Seeger,因为已经将近九十岁而减少公开演唱,Bob Dylan与Joan Baez也不再像过去那样热衷于政治,可是,早已当爷爷,奶奶的Peter, Paul & Mary却依然不改初衷,仍然非常积极的继续宣扬他们的理念,而且不但唱给昔日的歌迷与群众听,还透过活泼可爱的包装,把是非对错的观念传递给新生代的儿童,堪称非常少见的特例。他们曾经在90年代为公共电视网举办过一场亲子演唱会的特别节目,许多当年听着他们歌曲长大的人,都带着稚龄的孩子,"三代同堂"地前去观赏。节目一开头,他们就唱出脍炙人口的Puff, the Magic Dragon,以及一系列幽默,风趣的歌曲,然后不着痕迹的带来 If I Had a Hammer 等经典,教得孩子们一起来对抗世界所有的不平。

Peter, Paul & Mary 是上世纪60年代最受欢迎的民谣组合,后来的几十年也证明了他们是音乐历史上生命最长久的团体之一。他们的根比任何一个民谣团体都要扎得深,他们的影响力所波及的听众群是其他民谣团体可望不可及的。这个三人组合在他们的传奇生涯中共获得了5个格来美奖,发行了5张Top 10专辑,6张金唱片和3张白金唱片。Peter, Paul & Mary 由 Peter Yarrow,Paul Stookey 和 Mary Travers 组成,他们原来分别活跃于音乐界,在一段几乎有如传奇的历程之后,在后来 Bob Dylan 的经纪人 Grossman 的建议下,正式组成三重唱。1962年五月,他们首度以 Lemon Tree 打进排行,一炮而红,接着又以老前辈 Pete Seeger 的 If I Had a Hammer 得到了排行的第十名,同时荣获“最佳合唱团体”和“最佳民歌录音”等两项格莱美奖。这是他们自己最钟爱的歌曲之一,对政治,对世情都提出了批判,也树立起后来他们许多"抗议"歌曲的模式。事实上,他们三个人之所以能够情投意合,除了音乐上的理念相近,更因为他们对于政治的思想都一致。他们不但在歌曲中唱出自己的想法,还经常一起积极的去参与各种群众运动,而且数十年如一日,并不像许多人那样,在稍微上了点年纪之后就冷谈下来。而出了本身的创作,他们还独具慧眼的采用了好些“新人”的作品,包括Bob Dylan,John Denver和来自加拿大的Gordon Lightfool 等等,就是因为Peter, Paul & Mary 率先唱红了他们的作品,才开始引起广泛注意的。

If you miss the train Im on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord Im one, lord Im two, lord Im three, lord Im four,
Lord Im 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord Im five hundred miles from my home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way.

If you miss the train Im on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lemon Tree

此文章由 zmzhu 原创或转贴,不代表本站立场和观点,版权归 oursteps.com.au 和作者 zmzhu 所有!转贴必须注明作者、出处和本声明,并保持内容完整


When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Dont put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,
I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and I did a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day she left without a word. she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
Shed left me for another, its a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Puff the Magic Dragon

此文章由 zmzhu 原创或转贴,不代表本站立场和观点,版权归 oursteps.com.au 和作者 zmzhu 所有!转贴必须注明作者、出处和本声明,并保持内容完整


Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Blowing The Wind

此文章由 zmzhu 原创或转贴,不代表本站立场和观点,版权归 oursteps.com.au 和作者 zmzhu 所有!转贴必须注明作者、出处和本声明,并保持内容完整
这首就是Bob Dylan的反战名曲,是PP&M先唱红的。



How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before theyre forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesnt see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.

Leaving On a Jet Plane

此文章由 zmzhu 原创或转贴,不代表本站立场和观点,版权归 oursteps.com.au 和作者 zmzhu 所有!转贴必须注明作者、出处和本声明,并保持内容完整
John Denver的名曲,也是PP&M得唯一冠军单曲



All my bags are packed, Im ready to go
Im standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin, its early morn
The taxis waiting, hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome I could cry.

Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go.
Im leavin on a jet plane
I dont know when Ill be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, Ill wear your wedding ring.

(chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, Ill be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say,

Don't Think, Twice It's All Right

此文章由 zmzhu 原创或转贴,不代表本站立场和观点,版权归 oursteps.com.au 和作者 zmzhu 所有!转贴必须注明作者、出处和本声明,并保持内容完整
也是Bob Dylan的名曲。



It aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter, anyhow
An it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travlin on
Dont think twice, its all right

It aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An it aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin anyway
So dont think twice, its all right

It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
I cant hear you any more
Im a-thinkin and a-wondrin all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child Im told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But dont think twice, its all right

Im walkin down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where Im bound, I cant tell
But goodbyes too good a word, gal
So Ill just say fare thee well
I aint sayin you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But dont think twice, its all right

500 miles, Puff (the magic dragon), 还有 the end of the world, yesterday once more, last waltz, i came to wedding(名字可能不对) 等都是选自《流行歌曲101首》里的,有本书,还配了盘磁带,对吧。
