The Doobie Brothers的成名曲

The Doobie Brothers是1970年代初期於加州聖荷西組成的Pop-rock合唱團，原先主唱是Patrick Simmons與Tom Johnston，1975年Michael McDonald加入之後實力大增，但也擠走了原先該團的主要作曲人Tom Johnston，因為直到1983年該團解散，他們後來的暢銷曲都是由Michael McDonald所寫， The Doobie Brothers在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第136名，成名曲是1972年第11名的Listen To The Music，這首歌在BMI全美最常播出100首歌曲榜獲得72名，很好聽的Soft-rock。



Listen To the Music

Doobie Brothers



'Don't you feel it growin', day by day

People gettin' ready for the news

Some are happy, some are sa-a-a-ad

Woah, gotta let the music play.



What the people need is a way to make them smile

Ain't so hard to do if you know how

Gotta get a message, get it on throu-ou-ou-ough

Oh now momma gonna let the music play



Chorus:

Oh, oh, oh listen to the music,

(ditto a couple of times more)

all the time.



Well, when i know you know baby, everything I say,

meet me in the country for a day.

We'll be happy and we will dance.

Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away.



And if I'm feelin' good to you and you`re feelin' good to me

there ain't nothin' we can't do or say.

Feelin' good, feeling fine.

Oh, baby, let the music play.



Like a lazy flowing river

surrounding castles in the sky.

And the crowd is growing bigger,

list'nin' for the happy sounds,

and I got to let them fly.



Chorus...
