Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Songwriters: Annie Lennox / David Allan Stewart

 

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Dan Seals -Big Wheels In The Moonlight

有人說在小鎮生活的回憶成了許多暢銷曲的來源，而Dan Seals 1989年的鄉村歌曲排行榜冠軍曲“Big Wheels In The Moonlight”就是這樣一首小鎮之憶。

           按照作曲搭檔 Bob McDill 的說法，他和 Seals一起寫歌詞，想要套上他們已經寫好的曲子，Dan Seals 告訴McDill 很多年輕時候的往事，他住在一個只有一個紅綠燈的的德州小鎮Rankin，晚上躺到床上時會聽到紅燈換綠燈時的大卡車換檔加速的聲音，跟很多小鎮長大的孩子一樣，小小年紀的 Dan 也夢想離開小鎮做點大事。

1989年時，那個小鎮男孩的美夢寫成了Dan Seals 的“Big Wheels In The Moonlight”，那是他第18首進鄉村歌曲排行榜的暢銷曲，也是他第9首冠軍曲。

Dan Seals 1948年出生於美國德州McCamey，1970年代走紅的二重唱England Dan&John Ford Corley(I Really Love To See You Tonight #2)的England Dan就是他，而另一1970年代走紅的二重唱Seals&Crofts(Summer Breeze #6)的Jim Seals 則是他哥哥。

         Dan Seals 2009年三月因癌症病逝，除了回味他的小鎮之憶  “Big Wheels In The Moonlight”，也以他從未發行單曲的抒情曲Lullaby來紀念這位後來在鄉村歌唱界非常紅的已故歌手與作曲人Dan Seals。

Big Wheels in the Moonlight

  Songwriters: Bob Mcdill / Danny Seals

 

I came from a town that was so small you look both ways and you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out every evening I'd slip into town
And stand around by the caution light and watch the big trucks rolling by
For me it was a beautiful sight big wheels in the moonlight

I had a case of wanderlust I'd lie awake with the windows up
Out on highway fifty-nine I could hear some big old diesel whine
She was going through all the gears headed out to who knows where
I fell asleep most every night dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

How I got here it's hard to say so many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got kids and a wife and a regular job
But at night when I'm setting here all alone in a living room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes and see big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
