发帖纪念George Michael。。。

minneo

一大早的听到George Michael去世的消息，心情一下子就低落了。又一位歌坛巨星离我们而去了

George Michael是一位创作型歌手，曾经2度获得葛莱美奖，原是威猛演唱组（Wham）的主歌手，后来是灵魂乐派流行音乐的音乐家。

经典歌曲太多了，让我慢慢贴

careless whisper无心的呢喃

这是我最早会完整演唱的英语歌曲之一，讲述的是了一个男子同时爱上了三个女孩。别人在谈论这件事情，他的正式女友知道了这个秘密，结果大家心照不宣，跳最后一个舞，可是他是爱她的。他不敢说话，却在心里唱着歌，交织着悔恨、伤感和表白，但一切已是无可挽回了，沉默中感情正在趋向破裂。你会发现在人的内心，背叛和忠诚竟然是一对共生的本性。



歌词：

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all is sad good-bye
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better that to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'll never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you


Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is that all you find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better that to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'll never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Never without your love)

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better that to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'll never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong
So wrong ..that you had to leave me alone

我不敢确定
当我牵着你的手走向舞池
当音乐结束，你的眼神有异样
对银幕上悲伤的离别心有所感
和所有不幸的告别
我再也不跳舞了
充满罪恶的双脚抓不住节奏
虽然伪装很容易
但我知道你不笨
早该知道不应欺骗朋友
浪费被赐予的大好机会
因此我不再跳舞
像从前与你共舞一样

时间也无法弥补
一位好友无心的耳语
对心灵而言，无知反而是种慈悲
真相里找不到安慰
你只能找到痛苦
我再也不跳舞了
充满罪恶的双脚抓不住节奏
虽然伪装很容易
但我知道你不笨
早该知道不应欺骗朋友
浪费被赐予的大好机会
因此我不再跳舞
像从前与你共舞一样

(绝不能失去你的爱)

今晚的音乐似乎特别大声
但愿我们能避开人群
也许这样比较好
我们会用心里想说的话来伤害彼此
我们原本可以好好的在一起
我们原本可以永远共舞
但再也没有人愿与我共舞
请你留下

我再也不跳舞了
充满罪恶的双脚抓不住节奏
虽然伪装很容易
但我知道你不笨
早该知道不应欺骗朋友
浪费被赐予的大好机会
因此我不再跳舞
像从前与你共舞一样

如今你已离去
因为我犯了错
你不得不离我而去

Last christmas 是在1984年发表的一首圣诞歌曲，它描述了一个人在渡过圣诞节时的感受。



歌词

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby do you recognise me?
Oh well, it's been a year it doesn't suprise me
Merry christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I love you' I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you And your soul of ice
Oh my God I thought you were Someone to rely on Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in her heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
(I gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
The face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

《Wake me up before you go-go》是George Michael自己作词作曲的冠军歌曲，欢快的曲风表达了患得患失的情绪。



Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
When your loving starts
A jitterbug into my brain
Till my feet do the same

But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
You left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming but I should have been with you instead

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cos I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cos you're my lady
I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing
Everything wiil be alright

《Faith》 一经发行，迅速登上英美两地专辑榜冠军，在美国Billboard 200上横踞12周周冠军，销售更高达八白金，创下了演艺生涯的高峰。



Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you.

Oh, but I gotta think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them, too.

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion,
Time to pick my heart up off the floor.
And when that love comes down without devotion,
Well, it takes a strong man baby, but I'm
Showing you the door,

Cause I gotta have Faith
I gotta have... Faith
Because I've gotta have Faith, Faith, Faith
I gotta have Faith, Faith, Faith.

Baby, I know you're asking me to stay
Saying please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues.

Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me,
But I'll wait for something more.

Cause I gotta have Faith...

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
(I've just got to have faith)
I've reconsidered my foolish notion

Yeah, I need someone to hold me,
But I'll wait for something more....

Cause I gotta have Faith

《Father figure》




That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy

(Baby)
I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful Darling
Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no...
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always tell me to...
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
Until the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you until the end of time

喜欢这首歌

《Jesus to a Child》这首也很喜欢，每次听都能森森的感受到失去一个挚爱的人的无奈和悲痛万分。



Kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I never feel the same about anyone or anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on these cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began he took your love away
But I still say

Chorus

So the words you couldn't say
I'll sind them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be my love
Well I've been loved so I know just what love is
And the lover thet I kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover I still miss... was Jesus to a child

那个非常经典。

有同学提到了《dont let the sun go down on me 》和Elton John合唱的，同样是我心目中的经典歌曲之一

minneo

Lyrics：Bernie Taupin
Music：Elton John

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
