此次改编爵士经典曲”Everytime WeSay Goodbye”,乃因为我几年前曾发表过一首诗作《我死去一些》(”I Die aLittle”),灵感来源就是这首歌。
于是我决定撷取”Everytime We Say Goodbye”的主歌部份,跟我将”I Die a Little”写成旋律的副歌结合,成为一首新歌曲。
"Everytime We Say Goodbye"原为美国百老汇作曲家科尔·波特(Cole Porter)所创作,1944年在音乐剧《七种生动的艺术》("Seven Lively Arts")中首演。后来经无数歌手翻唱,成为爵士标准曲。
这首爵士/电音fusion歌曲,旋律情境优美,风格很特殊。我把第一伦的新歌demo丢给制作人Howard听,他马上就挑这首去制作。创作过程中,我也要求Howard去寻找一段古老,听起来像老式vinyl唱盘感觉的演奏,sample用来做为这首诗歌的间奏。
这首歌曲制作过程很顺利,我们很快就完成编曲/录音/后制。我很高兴,在此张全电音专辑中,加入一首爵士fusion,让这张专辑风格更多元更有趣。
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
I die a little in your tenderness.
I die a little in your sweetness.
I drown a little lying next to you.
I’m drunk a little from kissing you.
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
I die a little in your tenderness.
I die a little in your sweetness.
I drown a little lying next to you.
I’m drunk a little from kissing you.
I die a little in your tenderness.
I die a little in your sweetness.
I drown a little lying next to you.
I’m drunk a little from kissing you.
