Elton John 的歌(Daniel)是什麼意思?
(Daniel)由約翰和他的作詞人 Bernie Taupin 於 1973 年創作。它出現在Elton John 1973 年的專輯《 Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player》之中。
多年來,歌迷們顯然誤解了這首歌的意思。有些人一直以為是一個叫 Daniel的兄弟去世了,而那他們很想念他 。
無論如何,這首由 Bernie Taupin 寫的歌詞在他的網站上解釋了他的創作靈感:我在《時代》雜誌上看到這篇有關春節攻勢的文章。旁邊還有一個側邊欄,講述了許多從越南回來的士兵是如何成為淳樸的鄉下人的,他們對於自己所受到的崇拜和敵意(取決於他們來自哪個地區)都感到尷尬。在大多數情況下,他們只是想恢復正常生活,但卻發現很難, 因為他們要面對那麼多令人厭惡的戰爭的負擔。
當 Elton John 為這首歌曲創作音樂時,他刪除了最後一段,因為他認為這首歌已經太長了。被刪除的詩句解釋說 Daniel是越戰老兵,戰後回到家鄉農場後,卻無法找到平靜,於是決定離開美國前往西班牙。由於最後一段詩句被刪去,這首歌就變成了兩個兄弟分道揚鑣的模糊故事,不過 Bernie Taupin 說,丟失這段詩句並不是什麼大問題。
Elton John 1947年出生於英國 Middlesex,Pinner,是一位歷年暢銷歌星排行第3名的 Pop-rock 輕搖滾巨星。(Daniel)1973年獲得連續二周第2名,也是BMI最常播出歌曲第66名的歌 。
歌迷:我謹以此紀念所有已逝去的丹尼爾。願上帝保佑你們,先生們。
Daniel
作詞:Bernie Taupin 作曲:Elton John
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be
the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I
miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're
a star in the face of the sky
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star
in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in
my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
