《經典老歌》薩克斯風的魔力

功力有多高魔力就有多大，好聽的歌曲常令人起雞皮疙瘩，
是樂器好聽還是歌曲好聽，又或者是兩者已合而為一，
不管是不是芭樂歌，經典就是經典，讓人耳熟能詳百聽不厭。

 

 

 

The One You Love

演唱者：Glenn Frey

 

I know you need a friend
Someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love
There's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do

 

I heard you on the phone
You took his number
Said you were alone
But you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you crying
Isn't he the one who made you blue

 

When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

 

Are you going to stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

 

What you gonna say when he comes over
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointments
Oh, girl. What you gonna do
Your heart keeps saying it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

 

要介紹Glenn Frey不得不先介紹Eagles合唱團(1972)，

Glenn Frey在單飛後第一首歌The One You Love是走紅大街小巷的情歌，
收錄在他單飛後的專輯No Fun Aloud裡(1982)。

 

 

Careless Whisper

演唱者：George Michael

 

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 its sad good-byes

 

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
Should've known better than 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)

 

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 all you'll find

 

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 none's gonna dance with me
Please stay

 

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

 

George Michael原本是WHAM合唱團的成員(1983)，

但因為有自己的想法而脫團單飛(1986)，
Careless Whisper創作早於創團前(1981)。

由於青少年時期受到西洋音樂的薰陶，
出社會後每每與朋友至有Live Band的店聆聽好歌，
其中最是欣賞薩克斯風的Solo演出，
憂鬱的臉龐加上賣力的吹奏，不知不覺著迷於音樂中，
有一說是要吹出動人的音樂需花費三年的苦功，
上面介紹兩首是好聽的老歌也很適合拿來當薩克斯風的練習曲。
