"Blue Moon" 是一首西洋流行音樂的經典之作，1934年由詞曲作者Richard Rodgers 和 Lorenz Hart 合作完成，這是一首極受歡迎的歌謠，在搖滾樂興起的50年代中期之前就已風行全美。
1961年時the doo-wop樂團The Marcels推出的"Blue
Moon"在the Billboard 100排行榜獲得冠軍，次年The Ventures的演奏曲則獲得54名。
錄過 "Blue
Moon"的歌手相當多，包括Frank Sinatra、Jo Stafford、 Ella Fitzgerald及貓王Elvis Presley、Rod Stewart等搖滾樂巨星。
"Blue Moon" 在電影和電視影集中更常被引用，如果你看過Woody Allen的電影《藍色茉莉》'Blue Jasmine'，你一定會對 Conal Fowkes 以爵士風味演奏的 "Blue Moon" 極為難忘。
今天另外介紹Rod Stewart在他2005年推出的專輯〈The Great American Songbook Vol. III - Stardust〉與Eric Clapton合唱的 "Blue Moon。
讓我們一起來感受一下爵士樂風的經典老歌。

Blue Moon
作詞/作曲：Lorenz Hart /
Richard Rodgers
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
