绵长细致《Yesterday Once More》  
[ 作者:花样年华    ]







上帝总是嫉妒赋有才华的人,当我们想起卡朋特的时候,这样想是最好的安慰。这对兄妹组合无疑是七十年代最成功的流行音乐组合之一,他们在八十年代初结束演艺生涯前创作了无数好歌。虽然最先显现音乐天才的是哥哥Richard,可是妹妹Karen那近乎完美和极富感情的嗓音却更深地印刻在我们的心里。
卡朋特最初的道路并不顺畅,他们和好友Webs Jacobs的第一盒样带以失败告终,但这并未在他们日后的演艺生涯中带来丝毫阴影。
1968年,兄妹俩的首张专辑《offering》借助beatles的《Ticket To Ride》得到注意,于是和当时许多成名歌手一样,他们开始走上流行摇滚之路。可是时代为卡朋特创造了机会,就象十九世纪的美国需要秀兰.邓波尔一样,六十年代的美国将卡朋特捧为了英雄。就在人们面对校园里和街道上的毫不间歇的骚乱暴动,经历着史上最大一次代沟问题,而陷入无助和绝望的时候,这对来自Downey小镇的,歌声醇美,轮廓鲜明,总爱唱着爱情歌曲的兄妹便成了救世主,一时间,所有的父母和孩子都开始聆听同一首歌“why do birds,suddenly appear,everytime you are near....”




就在人们以为卡朋特就要恢复昔日雄风时,悲剧发生了。----不幸地,她患了厌食症。在karen的墓碑上刻着这样简单的文字:a star on earth,a star in heaven.“A sang for you”,十七年后的今天,Karen还在深情地唱着:“and when my life is over, remember when we were together,we were alone and I was singing this song for you!” 仍旧是邻家那个嗓音恬美的女孩,和她的名字卡朋特一样纯朴。

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE



When I was young I\'d listen to the radio
Waitin\' for my favorite songs


When they played I\'d sing along It made me smile.
Those were such happy times And not so long ago


How I wondered where they\'d gone But they\'re back again
Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well.


Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they\'re startin\' to sing\'s So fine.


When they get to the part Where he\'s breakin\' her heart
It can really make me cry Just like before
It\'s yesterday once more.


Lookin\' back on how it was In years gone by
And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.


It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I\'d memorize each word Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away.


Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they\'re startin\' to sing\'s So fine.


All my best memories Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It\'s yesterday once more.

背景档案


卡彭特乐队由著名的歌星卡彭特与她哥哥理查德·卡彭特组成,卡伦·卡彭特1950年生于美国康耐狄格州,从小在哥哥的影响下学习乐器,成了一名鼓手,大她三岁的哥哥理查德是个非常有才华的青年,担任钢琴伴奏和制作人,并创作了大量歌曲。后来在著名经纪人德纽文的帮助下,进入了美国流行乐坛。
1970年一曲《靠近你》(Close To You)荣登排行榜首,这使卡彭特乐队一炮走红,70年代中他们不断有佳作闻世,成为无数美国青年的偶像,尼克松总统称卡彭特兄妹是最出色的美国青年。令人婉惜的是卡伦·卡彭特年仅32岁便过早地离去。 她死于神经性厌食症。 这是由于她为了保持身材的苗条,长期服用轻泻剂,与长期节食的严重后果。1983年2月4日她死于深爱她的父母怀中。卡伦·卡彭特嗓音优美,演唱亲切自然,略带伤感,加之他们运用了多轨录音技术,因此他们的唱片无论在艺术上或技术上都非常成功,是当代流行音乐的精品。
