All For Love

LyricsBryan Adams / Michael Arnold Kamen / Robert John Lange

 

Thank you, Wembley

You've been a fantastic audience tonight

And I'm sure there'll be a bootleg in your shop soon

Anyway, we're gonna be hanging around London for a few days after this and

If I see you the-, if I see you on the street, please say hello, all right?

When it's love you give, I'll be a man of good faith

Then in love you'll live, I'll make a stand and won't break

I'll be the rock you can build on

Be there when you're old, to have and to hold

When there's love inside, I swear I'll always be strong

Then there's a reason why, I'll prove to you we belong

I'll be the wall that protects you

From the wind and the rain, from the hurt and the pain, yeah!

Let's make it! (All for one and all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need

'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all

When there's someone that should know, then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make, I'll be the fire in your night

When it's love you take I will defend, I will fight

I'll be there when you need me

When honor's at stake, this vow I will make

Let's make it! (All for one and all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need

'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all

When there's someone that should know, then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest

'Cause we can stand up to the test

We've got everything and more

Than we had planned

More than the rivers that run the land

We got it all in our hands!

Let's make it! (All for one and all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need

'Cause when it's (All for one, it's one for all) It's one for all

When there's someone that should know, then just let your feelings show

When there's someone that you want, someone that you need, let's make it

All, all for one

And all for love

If I may

I'd like to introduce you to the members of the band because without them

We would not have had this great evening

First of all, on the bass guitar, Mr. David Taylor!

On the percussion back there, from London, England, Mr. Danny Cummings!

On the piano and organ, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tommy Mandel!

And let's get ready to rumble, ladies and gentlemen

For the drummer, Mr. Mickey Curry!

From North Vancouver, Mr. Keith Scott!

Eric Clapton-Layla

是誰在Eric Clapton"Layla"結尾擔任獨奏?

  Jim Gordon彈奏了這段鋼琴尾聲,他也是這首歌的作曲人之一,事實上Jim當時的女友寫了“Layla”的結尾部分。

  女友 ? 正是才華洋溢又漂亮的Rita Coolidge把這首歌後來的結尾交給了他,卻不知道他把這首歌帶到Muscle Shoals的專業錄音室當中,為Derek and The Dominos 專輯“Layla and other Assorted Love Songs” 裡招牌歌曲“Layla”所用。

  “Layla and other Assorted Love Songs”Blues-rock藍調搖滾樂團Derek and the Dominos唯一的一張專輯,197011月發行,其中最有名的單曲是"Layla"(#10/1972)這首歌,後來成為該團主唱Eric Clapton個人的代表作,也是獲得滾石雜誌RSO500排行榜第27名的名曲。

  納許維爾出生的Rita Coolidge後來嫁給影歌雙棲巨星Kris Kristofferson(1973-1980),他在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上獲得過第7名的歌“We’re All Alone”是一首動聽的情歌

Layla

LyricsEric Clapton / Jim Gordon

 

See if you can spot this one

What will you do when you get lonely?
No one waiting by your side
You've been running hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down, Layla

Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Make the best of the situation
'Fore I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Tell me all my love's in vain

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Thank you

The Moody Blues-Isn't Life Strange

    The Moody Blues的《Days Of Future Passed》是他們的第二張專輯,在Billboard專輯排行榜得到5週第3名,其中的" Nights in White Satin"Billboard Hot 100單曲排行榜上獲得第2(錢櫃雜誌排行榜冠軍),他們1972年在美國發行的第7張專輯《Seventh Sojourn》則在Billboard專輯排行榜得到連續5週冠軍。

  Seventh Sojourn》有二首暢銷曲 "Isn't Life Strange" (#13 UK, #29 US) "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)" (#36 UK, #12 US).都是主唱貝斯手John Lodge所寫的,在1990年紀錄片〈The Moody Blues〉中John Lodge描述"I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)"就是給歌迷們的一個回應。

       這二首暢銷曲在排行榜上成績並不好,主要是同年推出的1968年舊作" Nights in White Satin"鋒頭蓋過他們,成了The Moody Blues的招牌歌曲。不過"Isn't Life Strange"倒是一首不錯的歌。

     有樂評人將The Moody Blues定位為Art-rock band「藝術搖滾樂團」,不論成績好壞,這二首歌是值得回味的、

I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)

lyricsJohn Charles Lodge

 

I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people
Who are trying to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
Now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.

A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist
We got to agree
A thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving
What a help it would be

So if you want this world of yours
To turn about you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.
Scorching this earth

I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people
Who are trying to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
Now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.

I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.
Scorching this earth

Music is the traveler crossing our world
Meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

Music is the traveler crossing our world
Meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
We're just the singers in a rock and roll band.
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...

Nights in White Satin

lyricsJustin Hayward

 

Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end

Letters I've written

Never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

Oh, how I love you

Gazing at people

Some hand in hand

Just what I'm going through

They can't understand

Some try to tell me

Thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be

You will be in the end

And I love you

Yes I love you

Oh, how I love you

Oh, how I love you

Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end

Letters I've written

Never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore

Yes I love you

Oh, how I love you

Oh, how I love you

Yes I love you

Yes I love you

Oh, how I love you

Oh, how I love you

Breathe deep the gathering gloom

Watch lights fade from every room

Bed sitter people look back and lament

Another days useless energy spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one

Lonely man cries for love and has none

New mother picks up and suckles her son

Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colors from our sight

Red is gray and yellow white

But we decide which is right

And which is an illusion
