1113 Who Painted The Moon Black - Hayley Westenra 最近跨界美声歌坛总是令人眼花缭乱，目不暇接。继前几年轰动国际的Charlotte Church闪亮登场， 又一个来自纽西兰的少女歌手、年仅17岁的Hayley Westenra以清纯靓丽的外貌和洁净明亮的歌喉，开始快速的崛起。在纽西兰享有盛名的歌剧女高音Malvina Major指导下，Hayley Westenra如天使一般美好的歌喉、天生优美的嗓音，开始流传到各地。家学渊源的Hayley Westenra，她的祖父母和外祖父母分别来自威尔斯和爱尔兰，给了Hayley Westenra传统的凯尔特音乐风格的熏陶。Hayley Westenra的声音如同丝线一般，专业训练使她在演唱技巧上达到完美的境地，又自小接受严格的乐器训练，擅长小提琴、 钢琴、手风琴，流利的使用包括英语、德语、法语、甚至意大利语演唱，忠实的表达各种不同语言歌曲的细腻情感。小小年纪，就已经有著名的歌唱家Luciano Pavarotti、 Jose Carreras、 Bryn Terfel纷纷邀请她参与巡回演唱的表演。现在英国DECCA唱片把她签下，成为Russell Watson同门师妹。更是纽西兰“国宝”级人物了！ “Who Painted The Moon Black”是Hayley Westenra的专辑“Pure”首支主打单曲，也是Hayley Westenra亲自挑选的，在专辑所有歌曲中，这应该是流行风味最浓的一首。若有若无的弦乐背景，烘托恋人间欲理还乱的情感。吉他轻拨，慢慢引出一段无疾而终的爱情故事，中间大钢琴不经意间敲醒沉醉，接着小提琴声部慢慢过度加强，更是着力渲染，配以歌曲终结时人声合唱，在Hayley Westenra无奈不解的啦啦声中，整个倾诉达到高潮。 ...... Did you see the shiny moon? Turned into a black balloon Just as you walked away from me Did you see how hard I've tried? Not to show the pain inside Just as you walked away from me Who painted the moon black? Just when you passed your love back Who painted the moon black? Oh won't you, won't you come back? It must have been the darkest night Not even a star in sight Just as you walked away from me, now Who painted the moon black? Just when you passed your love back Who painted the moon black? Oh won't you, won't you come back? Who painted the moon black? Just when you passed your love back Who painted the moon black? Oh won't you, won't you come back? Who painted the moon? Da da da... Did you see the shiny moon? Turned into a black balloon Just as you walked away from me ........

感觉Mary Hopkin更有怀旧感一些。Dalida的嗓音天生就有一种优雅浪漫的味道。呵呵，也许法语的发音容易给人这种感觉？Paul Mauriat的改编太过取巧，徒有一种流行的华丽。说句不客气的话，单单听这首歌曲的配器伴奏就足以抵得过Paul Mauriat的改编了。

1121 Those were the days - Mary Hopkin 还记得吗？那些和好朋友在一起的往日时光？任凭时光飞逝，你我天涯各一方，每当回想起那些往日时光，青春年少时的影像深深烙在记忆中的深处，复又投影在思念的眼前....... 由英国的6、70年代著名的民谣女歌手Mary Hopkin演唱的Those were the days，以一个邻家女孩亲切的嗓音，重又将人带回往日的时光...... Those were the days Mary Hopkin Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours Think of all the great things we would do Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la la la la la la Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say... Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me? Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.... 很久以前有一家小酒馆 我们时常在那喝上几杯 记得我们那样意气风发 想着将来我们大展身手 朋友啊那些往日的时光 我们以为将永远无尽日 且歌且舞一日又复一日 我们选择我们自己方式 我们奋斗我们永不服输 只因你我年少总有前途 啦啦啦....... 那些往日的时光 后来岁月忙碌各奔西东 那些闪亮的想法已远去 如果还能在小酒馆重逢 我们会彼此微笑然后说..... 而今晚我又站在酒馆前 所有一切早已物是人非 杯中我看到陌生的影像 莫非我真是这寂寞女子？ 穿过门传来熟悉的笑声 你的笑颜呼唤我的名字 啊！我的朋友！ 你我岁月渐老心智如昨 恰似你我心中梦想依然...... ........
