She’s Like the Wind

作詞/作曲：Patrick Swayze / Stacy Widelitz

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath in my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe) she's like the wind

Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool
She's like the wind
She's like the wind
Just a fool
She's like the wind, just a fool

Colors Of The Wind

作詞/作曲：Alan Menken / Stephen Laurence Schwartz

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still, I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

John Lennon-（Just Like）Starting Over

 

約翰·藍儂John Lennon 為何移居美國？
John Lennon 移居美國，特別是紐約，是為了逃避披頭四解散帶來的痛苦，也為了擺脫英國古板的保守主義，在那裡，他被一名過度熱心的警察陷害進行緝毒行動。

他選擇紐約是因為 1971 年紐約似乎很適合他。他說如果他生活在羅馬時代，他就會住在羅馬。而此時的紐約是世界的創意中心。

他不想成為囚犯，因為他是名人，在紐約他不受人打擾，可以不受干擾地自由漫步。


根據“John Lennon: New York Years",《約翰·列儂：紐約歲月》一書的作者Bob Gruen 鮑勃·格魯恩介紹，當John Lennon第一次搬到紐約時，他非常興奮——騎著自行車繞著村莊轉，步行穿過城鎮，興奮地發現自己就在這裡。

但他在紐約的九年將考驗他對美國的熱愛，因為尼克森政府會因為他的激進主義和“人民權力”和“聖誕快樂（戰爭結束）”等“激進歌曲”而試圖驅逐他。 “Power to the People" and “Happy Xmas (War is Over).

尼克森沒能除掉他，而約翰·列儂似乎在爭取美國國籍的鬥爭中取得了勝利，因為他將在 1981 年初獲得美國公民身份。但在這一切發生之前，1980年12月8日，一個拼命想引起別人注意的混蛋破壞了一切，全世界都在哀悼。

那個時候，夢想才真正結束了。

披頭四解散後John Lennon 1969-1981 年一共有12 首 top20 的暢銷曲，其中名次最好的歌是1980年獲得5周冠軍的（Just Like）Starting Over，

誠實、真誠的情歌永遠不會令人遺忘。這首歌擁有一切無悔、希望、愛、興奮、激情、幻想和LENNON

 

（Just Like）Starting Over

作詞/作曲：John Winston Lennon

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you, darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over (over)
Starting over (over)

Every day, we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by, my love
It'll be just like starting over (over)
Starting over (over)

Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, darling

It's been too long since we took the time
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you, darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over (over)
Starting over (over)

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, mm, we have grown
Oh, although our love still is special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere

Starting over (over)
Ooh (over and over and over)
Ah! (Over), ah! (Over)
Ah! (Over), ah! (Over)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
