Glen Campbell歌曲獲獎


2015 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 BennettLady Gaga合作的"Cheek To Cheek"獲得傳統流行歌曲專輯獎。

Yesterday When I Was YoungRoy 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

  1. 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)
