爵士搖滾樂團Chicago

一齣使用15首Chicago合唱團暢銷曲的歌舞劇「芝加哥的二紳士」"Two Gentlemen of Chicago,"，自3月23日於加州Troubador劇場公司位於的Burbank的Falcon戲院開始演出後，將於4月22日落幕，但將安排其它地點繼續演出。


Chicago合唱團是一個帶有爵士風的搖滾樂團，本來叫The Big Thing，1969年自芝加哥轉往洛杉磯後改名Chicago Transit Authroity，但那年底就直接叫Chicago了，他們的主唱Peter Cetera於1985年離團而去，但創團元老Robert Lamm與新舊團員仍以Chicago之名演出。

Chicago合唱團是1970年代第5名，1980年代第21名，歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團第20名的傑出爵士搖滾樂團，與1960年代同時崛起的Blood，Sweat＆Tears曲風相似，但Chicago氣較長，商業成就也比Blood，Sweat＆Tears好很多。

Chicago有三首於排行榜連續獲二週冠軍的歌：If You Leave Me Know、Hard To Say I’m Sorry及Look Away，其中1988年的Look Away是Peter Cetera 1985年離團之後的作品，印證少了王牌主唱後的新組合仍有其魅力。



LOOK AWAY

Chicago



Well, you called me up this morning

Told me 'bout the new love you found

Said, "I'm happy for you.

I'm really happy for you."

Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round

I guess it's over, baby

It's really over, baby, woooh

And from what you're saying

I know you've gotten over me

It'll never be the way it used to be

So if it's gotta be this way

Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay



But if you see me walking by,

And the tears are in my eyes,

Look away, baby, look away.

If we meet on the street some day,

And I don't know what to say,

Look away, baby, look away.

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way.



When we both agreed as lovers

We were better off as friends

That's how it had to be

Yeah, that's how it had to be

I tell you I'm fine,

But sometimes I just pretend

Wish you were holding me,

Wish you were still holding me, oooh

I just never thought

That I would be replaced so soon

I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you

I know I wanted to be free

Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be



But if you see me walking by,

And the tears are in my eyes,

Look away, baby, look away.

And if we meet on the street some day,

And I don't know what to say,

Look away, baby, look away.

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way.



If you see me walking by,

And the tears are in my eyes,

Look away, baby, look away.

And if we meet on the street some day,

And I don't know what to say,

Look away, baby, look away.

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way.



If you see me walking by,

And the tears are in my eyes,

Look away, baby, look away.

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me...

Well, you called me up this morning

Told me 'bout the new love you found

I said, "I'm happy for you.

I'm really happy for you."
