2015 年Grammy獎二月八日於洛衫磯舉行,Glen Campbell是以他患阿茲海默症的記錄片"I'll
Be Me"的插曲"I'm Not Gonna Miss You"獲得最佳鄉村歌曲獎,其實挺傷感的,因阿茲海默症日益惡化,Glen Campbell將如這首歌所說的「我不會想念親友與喜愛他歌曲的歌迷們」,因為他終將完全失憶。
Carole King的音樂劇"Beautiful:
The Carole King Musical"則獲劇院音樂專輯獎。
而由 Darlene Love, Merry Clayton主演,眾多知名歌手出現的 "20 Feet From Stardom" 「伴唱人生聚光燈外20呎」 則獲尊為最佳音樂電影。
Darlene Love曾在The
Crystals唱過主唱,Merry Clayton則擔任過Ray Charles的伴唱,"20 Feet From Stardom"這部流行音樂記錄片值得歌迷們的期待。
資深爵士歌手Tony Bennett與Lady Gaga合作的"Cheek To Cheek"獲得傳統流行歌曲專輯獎。
Yesterday When I Was Young是Roy Clark 1969年第19名的名曲,今天聽Glen Campbell唱來令人不勝欷虛。
"Yesterday When I Was Young"
written by Herbert Kretzmer, Charles
Aznavour.
Yesterday when I was young
The
taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I
teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The
way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The
thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I
always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
I
lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And
only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So
many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
So
many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And
so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I
ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I
never stopped to think what life was all about
And
every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me, me and nothing else
at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And
every crazy day brought something new to do
I
used my magic age as if it were a wand
And
never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The
game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And
every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The
friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And
only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be
sung
I
feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The
time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
Yesterday When I Was Young這首歌真是動人,無數人翻唱過,我曾收藏了不少版本,小時候聽就覺得很有感覺,彷彿人隨時都在緬懷已經逝去的歲月,和曾經想做卻妹做到或做出來的事情。(不過閣下的連結影片已經失效)
