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，

（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!
