Yesterday Once More.mp33:58来自时光脑洞
这是一首经典英文歌曲,深入人心、历久不衰。在熟悉的旋律中寻找那些曾经有过的欢笑、悲伤,那些淡淡的青春、纯纯的爱。“那是多么幸福的时光, 并不遥远,可我却不知道它们到哪去了”一这些爱听的歌曲, 每次听,都会勾起昨天的记忆,都觉得像久无音信的朋友又回来了一就像从前一样。
Carpenters是20世纪70年代怀旧浪潮的代表。他们目睹了那个年代,而当他们精神抖擞地登上舞台、准备大放光彩的时候却发现时代变了,观众已经离去,剩下的几个人吵吵着要看别的节目。其实原本他们也可以演其他的节目,但他们不愿意,他们已经被定型了、改不了了。于是他们只好唱逝去的好时光,像那些老头子一样。虽然他们的生命还没正式开始,但已经成为过去了。他们的怀旧情绪如此真切、如此不加掩饰。Karen那不事雕琢的声线正是恰到好处。
《Yesterday Once More》是一首追怀旧情的感伤之作。经历过一系列失恋打击、身处孤独之中的歌手原本是收音机的忠实听众,常常跟随电波中的一曲曲情歌吟唱。后来,陷入爱河的她不再有闲暇去收听音乐广播了,与收音机渐渐疏远。而今,为情所伤、心如死灰的她再度拧开收音机,熟悉的旋律重新响起,一声声、 - 曲曲仿佛正讲述着她自己的经历。时光流逝、情感变迁,但那一首首曾如旧友长伴身侧的老歌,却忠诚如初,永远不会背叛自己。温馨中夹杂苦痛,慰藉之余更添伤感:难道人尚不如歌?多情易伤、多愁善感的她多么盼望昨日随旧曲重现,鸳梦重温。

英文歌词:
When I was young .Id listen to the radio
Waitin for my favorite songsWhen they played Id sing alongIt made me *** ile
Those were such happy timesAnd not so long ago
How I wondered where theyd goneBut theyre back againJust like a long lost friendAll the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-laEvery Wo- O-Wo-oStill shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-lingThat theyre startin to singSo fine
When they get to the part
Where hes breakin her heartIt can really make me cryJust like before
Its yesterday once more
L ookin back on how it wasIn years gone by
And the good times that I hadMakes today seem rather sadSo much has changedIt was songs of love thatI would sing to then
And Id memorize each wordThose old melodies
Still sound so good to meAs they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-laEvery Wo-o-wo-oStill shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-lingThat theyre startin to singSo fine
All my best memoriesCome back clearly to me
Some can even make me cryJust like before
Its yesterdayonce more
