又到了聽歌的時間了!今天要來介紹Steve Wonder,中文似乎翻作史帝夫汪達,同樣的,詳細介紹請參照wikipedia大神,Steven Wonder是一個盲人,而且是一出生就失明的盲人,不過卻是一個音樂界的奇才,11歲就被唱片公司簽約,13歲就發行專輯,那張專輯就拿到US榜No.1,真是太恐怖了。

第一首先介紹他15歲寫的一首歌,15歲我還在醉生夢死的時候....



My cherie amour

La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

cherie amour這不是英文,而是從法文來的,所以My Cherie Amour翻成英文應該是My dear love的意思,「我親愛的愛人」,這是一首可愛單純的歌呢,聽了心情會有變好的感覺。:) 再來看一個2008年Steve Wonder在倫敦的一場演唱會,啊,好有fu啊,全部的人都會唱耶,就和我看"Mamma Mia!"可以從頭和到尾的感覺一樣。 :)



第二首要介紹的是一首19歲時的創作,Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday



Yester-Me Yester-You, Yesterday - Stevie Wonder

What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

I had a dream so did you life
Was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester folls and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Sing with me
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
One more time.....

唉,好現實的歌詞,但是卻用這麼輕鬆的曲調唱出來,這是我喜歡這首歌的原因。以上兩首都是Steve Wonder自己唱的歌,他後期也開始當起了音樂製作人,我想代表作應該是這首Loving You吧,每個人都會聽過的。



Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all i wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is out of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old

And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin' you

Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh
I'm more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

Steve Wonder在美國音樂界的成就相當高,25,從這個數字可以表達出來,他總計拿過25座葛萊美獎(就是臺灣的金曲獎啦),天啊,25座...連終身成就獎他都拿到了,真是太強了。當然有關Steve Wonder的好歌還有不少,有興趣的人可以上youtube,keyword就打"steve wonder",看點閱率高的那幾個點來聽聽就是了。:)
