蹈父兄的覆辙，建立起了新的价值观，对于上一代所喜爱的一切，几乎全盘予以否定，甚至 开创了全新的摇滚文化。1957年，越战爆发，美国介入了这场战争，投入大量人力、物力， 还派遣子弟兵远渡重洋，前往越南战场，造成了惨重的伤亡，因此美国社会掀起了一股反战 的热潮。在这同时，民歌也开始在全美各地校园流行起来，许多知识青年不仅利用他们所创 作的民歌发抗议的声音，更积极的加入示威的群众运动。 Bob Dylan在传奇性的民歌宗师 Woody Guthrie启迪下进入民歌界，很快的以独特的 风格在格林威治村以及各大校园受到注意。1962年四月，他以深具内涵的创作技巧谱出「Blowing in the Wind」的时候，才是个二十刚出头的小伙子。这是他最早的「抗议歌曲」， 对人们传统观念中「男子汉」的定义提出了质疑，希望世人能以和平而理性的态度来解决争 端，不要再对世间的不幸视而不见、听而不闻，更不要再让无辜的人们继续丧生在战火之中。 虽然「Blowing in the Wind」的时代背景是越战时期的美国社会，但是这首歌的意境 却可以说是「放诸四海而皆准」，同时始终深受世界各地人们的喜爱。当东欧与中东各地战 火频传、当国人为政府与某些民间企业的不当措施采取激烈抗争手段的时候，总是令人不禁 又想起这首歌曲。解决争端的方法其实显而易见，就像是飞扬在风中一样，只是有几人肯去 倾听呢？ Where Have All The Flowers Gone Where have all the flowers gone Long time passing Where have all the flowers gone Long time ago Where have all the flowers gone Young girls pick them every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the young girls gone Long time passing Where have all the young girls gone Long time ago Where have all the young girls gone Gone to young men every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the young men gone Long time passing Where have all the young men gone Long time ago Where have all the young men gone Gone for soldiers every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the soldiers gone Long time passing Where have all the soldiers gone A long long time ago Where have all the soldiers gone Gone to graveyards every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the graveyards gone Long time passing Where have all the graveyards gone Long time ago Where have all the graveyards gone Gone to flowers every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn《Where Have All The Flowers Gone 》源自前苏联小说家米哈依.肖洛霍夫的小说《静静的顿河》中一首哥萨克摇篮曲。 故事发生在二十世纪初，顿河边上一个小村庄中的男青年离开家乡到兵营中受训。不久， 他们被派到战场上去。一位出征战士的妻子在哄娃娃入睡时唱道：“鹅到哪里去了,它们钻到芦苇里去了。芦苇哪里去了，芦苇给姑娘们拨了。姑娘们哪里去了，她们和丈夫结婚了。丈 夫哪里去了，他们上战场去了。” 受到这首摇篮曲的启发，1961年,美国著名民歌手Pete Seeger写了这首歌。生于1 919年的Seeger在二战（1939-1945）期间服役，接着又看到朝鲜战争（1951-1953）。在他看来，美国现代青年和当时的哥萨克人一样，注定要奔赴战场。民歌风格的歌词朴实无 华，但正是从这些简洁的曲调和歌词的反复中，可以感受到一股震撼。 对战争罪恶，对血腥政治的控诉可以是声泪俱下，也可以如flowers一般轻柔温存，但轻柔绝不意味着柔弱，更不是柔顺。 Earth song what about sunrise 日出呢 what about rain 雨呢 what about all the things 还有你说过 that you said we were to gain...我们会得到的一切呢...... what

啊----------- "Earth Song" 被许多人认为是Michael Jackson 拍摄过的最棒的音乐录影。 Michael Jackson在片中扮演一个失落的救世主形象，他为被人为破坏的 环境、被无辜屠戮的野生动物和被战火摧残的世界而悲泣，该片最具震撼性和戏 剧性的场面出现在末尾：各地心受创伤的人们与Michael Jackson一道，在焦土上以一种古老而奇特仪式呼唤神力。 大地之母最终响应。在狂风怒号、闪电雷鸣中，在Michael Jackson近乎绝望的嘶喊中，死者复活，万物重生……音乐录影以倒放镜头的拍摄制作手法， 在荧幕上完成了一个现实中永远不可能实现的梦境。这部天真而煽情的短片引起 了世人的共鸣，然而这个已经充满危机的世界的真正得救之道，还在于人类自身 的觉醒、即刻的行动和不懈的努 Casablanca i fell in love with you watching casablanca back row at the drive in show in the flickering light popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar making love on a long hot summer night i thought you fell in love with me watching casablanca holding hands neath the paddle fans in rick's candle lit cafe hiding the shadows from the spots a rocky moonlight in your arms making magic in the movie in my old chevrolet oh a kiss is still a kiss in casablanca but a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh please come back to me in casablanca i love you more and more each day as time goes by i guess there're many broken hearts in casablanca you know i've never been there so i don't know i guess our love story will never be seen on the big wide silver screen but it hurts just as bad when i had to watch it go oh a kiss is still a kiss in casablanca but a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh please come back to me in casablanca i love you more and more each day as time goes by oh a kiss is still a kiss in casablanca but a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh please come back to me in casablanca i love you more and more each day as time goes by i love you more and more each day as time goes by 歌曲Cassablanca卡萨布兰卡不是同名电影的插曲，电影中那首是时光流转。这是一首单曲，并不出自哪部电影，而是70年代由著名音乐人bertie higgin s在看完这部电影后有感而写出的，讲述的是一对青年男女在看《卡萨布兰卡》 这部电影时产生了爱情的故事。 Say you say me say you, say me say it for always that's the way it should be say you, say me say it together, naturally i had a dream, i had an awesome dream people in the park playing game in the dark and what they played was a masquerade but from behind the walls of doubt a voice was crying out say you, say me say it for always that's the way it should be say you, say me say it together, naturally as we go down life's lonesome highway seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two that helping hand someone who understands when you feel you've lost your way you've got someone there to say i'll show you oo, oo, oo say you, say me say it for always that's the way it should be say you, say me say it together, naturally so you think you know the answers oh no! well the whole world's got ya dancing that's right i'm telling you it's time to start believing oh yes! believe in who you are you are a shining star...oh say you, say me say it for always that's the way it should be say you, say me say it together, naturally 《说你，说我》(电影《白夜》插曲)：英文歌名Say you, Say me，是 中国听众最烂熟的几首欧美流行金曲之一。然而，很少有人知道它是一首电影插 曲。摄制于七十年代的电影《白夜》讲述了在特定的政治背景下，一位前苏联舞 蹈家选择“逃亡”的故事。黑人巨星莱昂纳尔里奇凭借此曲获得了奥斯卡最佳歌曲奖。歌曲节奏由快到慢和由快到慢的过渡中莱昂纳尔里奇的轻巧的把握，他的声 音也充满磁性。当然歌曲旋律优美而且由于有鲜明的节奏变化而显得丰富多彩。 《白夜》的故事简单，最突出的就是巴希利科夫的表演，因为这部电影可说 是为他度身订造，或者说就是关于他本人和其他众多俄罗斯艺术家的传奇故事： 一个著名的俄罗斯芭蕾舞演员，如何利用到美国演出的机会，背叛自己的祖国和 人民，滞留于敌国；这部电影的高明之处在于根本没去叙述最初的逃亡，而是倒 推，当一个叛徒突然被偶然事件抛回到他当初千方百计要逃出的祖国时，面对他 的将是怎样的局面？ 现实中的巴希利科夫对敌国做出的贡献，不外乎就是让所有的美利坚妇女都 爱上了芭蕾，也让芭蕾这样一种女人的事业间或也让位于男人（他在世时肯定如 此），电影只在最后让我们领略了这一点。 要说对《白夜》的迷恋，不如说是对最后五分钟那一场巴希利科夫的独舞 的迷恋，那是一个聚光灯下的白夜，一样的无日无夜、无边无际、无始无终，一 种精神病人眼中的灰，只有一个满台奔跑的旋转的影子是其中的亮点，巴希利科 夫抠眉凹眼，有着自然卷曲的金发，不高但结实的身材，这一切都不足为奇，他 有一种天才式的激情和技能，以及超乎常人的快速旋转能力，无论腾空于任何位 置，落地时都不会失去他的平衡，那是一种会割伤你眼睛的巨大激情和揪住你神 经的超级技艺。 Unchained melody oh, my love, my darling i've hungered for your touch alone, lonely time and time goes by so slowly yet time can do so much are you still mine i need your love i need your love god, speed your love to me lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea to the open arms of the sea lonely river sigh, wait for me, wait for me i'll be coming home wait for me oh, my love, my darling i've hungered, hungered for your touch alone, lonely time and time goes by so slowly yet time can do so much are you still mine, i need your love i need your love, god speed your love to me. 电影《人鬼情未了》的插曲，《Unchained Melody》这首歌曲，无论你听不听得懂 他们究竟在唱些具体的什么，也不看那个相拥做陶的电影画面，但那种如老唱片悠然旋转的 沉醉感却肯定还是能打动你的心，正义兄弟的演唱忽而平静如水、忽而如泣如诉、忽而山呼 海啸、忽而声嘶力竭，在感情随兴的起伏中完成了绝世的经典，而后世多少的翻唱也最终变 成了一次又一次的无意义实践。 Hotel California on a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair warm smell of colitas rising up through the air up ahead in the distance i saw a shimmering light my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim i had to stop for the night there she stood in the doorway i heard the mission bell and i was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way there were voices down the corridor i thought i heard them say welcome to the hotel california such a lovely place such a lovely place (background) such a lovely face plenty of room at the hotel california any time of year any time of year (background) you can find it here her mind is tiffany twisted she's got the mercedes bends she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends how they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat some dance to remember some dance to forget so i called up the captain please bring me my wine he said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969 and still those voices are calling from far away wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say welcome to the hotel california such a lovely place such a lovely place (background) such a lovely face they're livin' it up at the hotel california what a nice surprise what a nice surprise (background) bring your alibies mirrors on the ceiling pink champagne on ice and she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device and in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast they stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast last thing i remember i was running for the door i had to find the passage back to the place i was before relax said the nightman we are programed to receive you can check out any time you like but you can never leave 宝镜倒映烛影晃，寒冰装点酒色红，有的人认为歌曲中的加州旅馆是确实存在的，而 这之中还有旅馆、戒毒所、精神病院三种说法。 《加州旅馆》自面世开始，立即就引来很多的质疑与批评。尽管谁也不敢夸口说自己的 理解是正解版本，但歌词中明显的吸毒、性乱、邪教等暗示还是引起道德卫士的不满，并且 在美国数州中受到宗教团体的杯葛。不过，《加州旅馆》歌曲中那成经典的吉他旋律、诡异莫名的歌词内容、感人心弦的悲世情怀，使得这首《加州旅馆》神秘永远，成为最爱。 Norwegian wood i once had a girl or should i say she once had me she showed me her room isn't it good norwegian wood? she asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere so i looked around and i noticed there wasn't a chair i sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine we talked until two and then she said "it's time for bed" she told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh i told her i didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath and when i awoke i was alone this bird had flown so i lit a fire isn't it good norwegian wood “披头士的《挪威的森林》，歌词的内容是叙述一名男孩，原以为在街上很 顺利把到一名女孩，最后却被对方甩了的悲伤故事。原本男孩高高兴兴地要去女孩家，参观像挪威森林一样的女孩房间，结果隔了一个晚上，醒来一看，房间里早已是空无一物，不见伊人芳踪。那房间就像是挪威的森林一般，冷冷清清的。仔细回想，昨夜让自己如此心动不已的究竟是什麼？会不会充其量只是自己喝醉 了酒所做的一场梦而已？那位令人魂牵梦萦的女孩，是不是就像都会中微弱的萤 火，转瞬间就立刻消失得无影无踪？”——村上春树《群像杂志》 The Beatles简介： 披头士乐队(The Beatles，又译甲壳虫乐队)毫无疑问是流行音乐界历史上最伟大，最有影响力，拥有最多歌迷，最为成功的乐队。披头士乐队对于流行音 乐的革命性的发展与影响力无人可出其右，对于世界范围内摇滚的发展做出了非 常巨大的贡献，影响了自60年代以后的数代摇滚乐队的音乐和思想，直接影响 了摇滚乐的变革和发展，在英国，披头士乐队更是影响了60年代至今几乎每一 支乐队的形成和发展。而乐队中四名伟大的音乐家，特别是约翰?列侬(John Le nnon)和保罗?麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)，对于世界各个角落的后辈摇滚歌手及音乐创作者们的影响持续至今。披头士乐队在上个世纪六十年代引领了轰轰烈烈 的，被美国称为“英国入侵(British Invasion)”的音乐文化入侵浪潮，从根本上冲击了美国音乐的基础，彻底埋葬了“猫王”埃尔维斯?普雷斯利(Elvis Presley) 的王朝，统治了美国唱片市场，并影响了此后美国本土流行音乐的发展道路。 Memory leave night , not a sound from the pavement has the moon lost her memory she is smiling alone in the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet and the wind begins to moan memory, all alone in the moonlight i can smile at the old days life was beautiful then i remember the time i knew what happiness was let the memory live again every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning someone mutters and the street lamp sputters and soon it will be morning daylight i must wait for the sunrise i must think of a new life and i mustn't give in when the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too and a new day will begin burnt out ends of smoky days the stale court smell of morning a street lamp dies another night is over another day is dawning touch me, it is so easy to leave me all alone with the memory of my days in the sun if you'll touch me, you'll understand what happiness is look, a new day has begun... 自《猫》诞生以来，《回忆》这首歌就开始传播四海，那如泣如诉的旋律， 一下就能抓住人们的心。大多数人也是听了《回忆》之后才知道有《猫》这出音 乐剧。看《猫》，很大一部分人会关注这首令人动容的歌曲，不管其它时候《猫》 怎幺跳怎幺舞怎幺闹，演唱《回忆》的时候都是演员最深情、观众最感动的时刻， 这也使得该剧更具有生命的意味和充满哲理的想象。 《回忆》这首歌是由剧中的主角魅力猫“格里泽贝拉”演唱的，这是一只年 轻时魅力十足而年老后邋遢肮脏的猫，她孤独衰弱，遭人唾弃，流浪在最下等的 街区，受到猫族的排挤。她也渴望能升入天堂，但这对她显然是一种奢望。在这 个情景下，她演唱了这首《回忆》。在她唱完之后，猫儿们都被感动了，一致推 选她升上天堂，全剧落下帷幕。从中我们就可以看出，这首歌在剧中所占的份量， 可以说，它是全剧的转折点，也是高潮点，因为所有的猫对“格里泽贝拉”的看 法都将在这首歌后发生改变，如果这首歌不感人，无疑就是全剧的失败。 据说在临近首演的时候，导演依然对剧中高潮点的音乐不够满意。他总觉得 这个音乐应该是一首更感人，更能让观众投入的歌曲。韦伯起先并不愿意重写， 但最后还是听从了导演的要求。第二天早上，韦伯在钢琴上给导演弹奏了他整晚 熬夜写作的音乐。导演听完后，对旁边的人说：「请你们记住这一刻，因为你们 听到的，就是一首能被称为传奇的乐曲。」这首曲子，就是《回忆》。在当时， 《回忆》还没有歌词，只是一个旋律。为此，导演找了三位词作者写作歌词，但 都没有得到满意的结果。导演看时间已经不多，于是决定自己来写作《回忆》的 歌词。他来到自己在乡下的别墅，花了整整一个星期的时间重读艾略特的诗集， 借用了艾略特的另一首诗作《风夜狂想曲》为参照，写出了这首动人心魄的《回 忆》。 事实证明，这首《回忆》确实起到了感化人心，支撑剧情和终结全剧的效果。 每个听众听完了《回忆》后都会心满意足地哼着《回忆》的旋律踏上回家的路。 至今，全球已有250位艺术家录制了《回忆》，其中既有流行歌星，也有古典明星，包括芭芭拉?史翠珊(Barbara Streisand)，贝里?马尼洛(Barry Manilow) 和多明戈(Placido Domingo)等。《猫》剧的音像和唱片销售在全球也已经突了4千万张。
