[River] ～ Buttle表演(2006 HFOI)

平安夜将近,发首应景的歌~这是去年Holiday Festival On Ice时Jeff的表演节目,也是他因伤缺席大奖赛几个月后的初次亮相~再加上对这首"River"非常有爱,所以对这个表演的印象很深~

"River"的原唱是米国殿堂级的传奇女歌手Joni Mitchell,来自她于1971年发行的「Blue」专辑,Jeff表演使用的是新晋男歌手Ben Jelen的演绎~也是我比较喜欢的一个翻唱版本。

"River"是Joni Mitchell的所有歌曲中我最喜欢的一首,不同于一般圣诞歌曲的欢快氛围,开头似曾相识的「Jingle Bell」旋律配上有些孤寂的钢琴伴奏,空灵哀伤的吟唱,就像在河上静静盘旋,唯美无奈却又异常忧伤~是一份献给每个孤单的人在节日中的心灵慰藉~

River

【music】Joni Mitchell

【lyrics 】Joni Mitchell

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Im so hard to handle
Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
