Easy On Me

Songwriters: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins / Gregory Kurstin

There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn't even show

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

 

 

The Rolling Stones-Heart Of Stone

 Mick Jagger回應Paul McCartney 有關"Cover Band"「仿藍調樂隊」的發言

  Rolling Stones「滾石合唱團」的代表性團員   Mick Jagger在一場演唱會裡回應前    Beatles「披頭合唱團」的傳奇歌星Paul McCartney 有關"blues cover band"「仿藍調樂隊」的說詞。

 上週McCartney接受New Yorker「紐約客」週刊的訪問時開玩笑式的挖苦     the Rolling Stones。

    McCartney 認為the Beatles的音樂語言比the Rolling Stones等同儕更為廣泛。

    "我不確定該不該說，但他們是一種藍調翻唱樂隊，有一點像「滾石合唱團」，我認為我們的網撒得比他們廣"，McCartney表示。

   然而十月14日在洛杉磯的一場演唱會Jagger開玩笑說 : "今晚有很多名流在場，有可愛的   Megan Fox，Leonardo DiCaprio  李奧納多狄卡皮歐、Lady Gaga、 Kirk Douglas  寇克道格拉斯，Paul McCartney也在，他稍後會加入我們的藍調翻唱演唱"。

   都來自英國的   Rolling Stones「滾石合唱團」與   Beatles「披頭合唱團」是搖滾樂二大天團，Mick Jagger與Paul McCartney目前仍都活躍於社交圈，從Jagger對McCartney批評他們的反應來看，他倆的好交情自然不在話下。

       在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜   the Beatles獲得第2名，Rolling Stones則獲得第10名，「滾石合唱團」近年仍辦巡迴演唱，他們有一票死忠歌迷。

     我們來回憶一首   Rolling Stones「滾石合唱團」1965年獲得過19名的經典之作"Heart Of Stone"，這首歌是他們1965年在美國推出的第3張專輯〈The Rolling Stones , Now〉當中的歌，Rolling Stones的團員Mick Jagger與Keith Richard加上美國的R&B 及 Rock & Roll 歌手Solomon Burke、Bert Berns、Jerry Wexler等人所寫的12首歌成就了這張專輯，樂評人指出"Heart Of Stone"在其中平衡了各種音樂流派的特色，它還真是一首有藍調風味的歌。

Heart Of Stone

Writer(s): M. Jagger, K. Richard

 

There've been so many girls that I've known

I've made so many cry

And still I wonder why

Here comes the little girl

I see her walking down the street

She's all by herself

I try and knock her off her feet

 

But, she'll never break, never break, never break, never break

This heart of stone

Oh, no, no, this heart of stone

What's different about her? I don't really know

No matter how I try I just can't make her cry

 

Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break

This heart of stone

Oh, no, no, no, this heart of stone

 

Don't keep on looking that same old way

If you try acting sad

You'll only make me glad

Better listen little girl

You go on walking down the street

I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet

 

'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break

This heart of stone

Oh, no, no, you'll never break this heart of stone darling

No, no, this heart of stone

You'll never break it darling

You won't break this heart of stone

Oh no no no

You better go

You better go home

Cause you'll, you'll never break this heart of stone

You better

You better drive on home

Spice Girls- Wannabe

    從the Spice Girls「辣妹合唱團」25年前在流行歌壇爆紅以來，她們似乎再度發出女力訊息給全世界，這一次透過Universal Music環球音樂集團的關係企業Bravado,達成一項規模龐大的全球版權協議廣泛的合約。

  在未來的多年合作夥伴關係中，Bravado將代表這個標誌性、開拓性的女子組合在商品銷售、直接面向消費商品和宣傳活動、巡迴演唱、品牌及零售授權和分銷方面發揮作用。

  環球音樂集團UMG 沒有透露這筆交易的財務條款，這是Spice Girls「辣妹合唱團」20年來第一次將所有授權與分銷管道授予一個合作夥伴。

  Spice Girls將推出豪華版的專輯〈Spice25〉。

  Spice Girls 1996年的〈Spice〉，1997年的 〈Spiceworld 〉及2000年的〈Forever〉專輯加上 11 首單曲的全球版權，現在大多都屬於Bravado，但並沒有持有全部的出版權，因為Matt Rowe 與 Richard Stannard寫了很多「辣妹合唱團」的暢銷曲，包括最受歡迎的“Wannabe”，10月底環球唱片將重新發行她們第一張專輯〈Spice25〉包括沒有推出過、試唱版與混音版的歌。

  Spice Girls 在美國已經賣出1千2百多萬專輯，"Wannabe” 是她們在 Billboard Hot 100 排行榜上的唯一冠軍曲，1997獲得連續四周冠軍。

  成軍於英國的女子dance-pop舞曲合唱團Spice Girls ，創始團員是Emma Bunton、Geri Halliwell、Melanie Chisholm、Melanie Brown與Victoria Beckham，(Victoria Beckham原名Victoria Adams因嫁給英超足球巨星David Beckham所以從夫姓改為Victoria Beckham)。

  Spice Girls五名原始團員表示 : 她們很高興能在入行25周年時和Bravado團隊再度合作，她們將手牽手為世界各地合作夥伴提供一系列令人興奮的新作品。

Kiss-Beth

  重搖滾樂團KISS上個月宣佈11月19日他們將會正式推出一套四張光碟的豪華版專輯〈Destroyer〉，慶祝這張他們代表性專輯發行45周年，〈Destroyer〉在Billboard專輯排行榜最高獲得第11名，也曾獲得滾石雜誌500大專輯榜第496名。  

  KISS在這套專輯當中分享聽友重新整理過的名曲"Beth"，這首歌於1976年推出，在Billboard Hot 100排行榜曾獲得第7名。

  重新整理過的"Beth"保留原版木吉它配樂部分，工程師從多聲道類比母帶抓出來後與鋼琴、主唱、電子樂器伴奏混音而成。

  1970年代中期於紐約組團的KISS是一個重搖滾、以劇場表演知名的搖滾樂團，貝斯手 Gene Simmons，吉他手Paul Stanley、Ace Frehley，鼓手Peter Criss四人都是主唱，他們以濃妝和精心設計的舞台秀出名，Simmons扮演蝙蝠蜥蜴，Stanley扮星際小孩，Frehley扮太空人，Criss扮貓。一直到1983年〈Like It Up〉專輯推出時他們才以沒有化妝的真面目出現。

  物換星移，KISS於1996年重新復合，原始團員只剩Gene Simmons，Paul Stanley，二人此時擔任主唱。

  KISS的暢銷曲很多，在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第260名，"Beth"是他們在排行榜上名次最好的歌。

Beth

Beth, I hear you calling

But I can't come home right now

Me and the boys are playing

And we just can't find the sound

Just a few more hours

And I'll be right home to you

I think I hear them calling

Oh Beth, what can I do?

Beth, what can I do?

You say you feel so empty

That our house just ain't a home

That I'm always somewhere else

And you're always there alone

Just a few more hours

And I'll be right home to you

I think I hear them calling

Oh Beth, what can I do?

Beth, what can I do?

Beth, I know you're lonely

And I hope you'll be alright

'Cause me and the boys will be playing all night
