这首《Times of Your Life》翻唱自Paul Anka在70年代演唱的经典曲目,听到这首歌你会不由自主地想起过往的一些画面,并沉浸在深深的回忆中。王若琳的声音慵懒而感性,像冬日里若有若无的阳光般,给人一种别样的温暖而伤感的感觉。
王若琳(Joanna)从小在美国长大,父亲为台湾知名音乐制作人王治平,因为父亲的关系,Joanna从小就听遍各种语言、各种乐风、各种年代的好音 乐,这启发了她对音乐和创作的兴趣。她的首张唱片《Start From Here》中英文双CD于2008年1月发行后,立即令整个华语乐坛为之惊艳,被誉为华人世界的诺拉?琼斯、小野丽莎,这张以翻唱西洋老歌为主的唱片也迅 速成为经常在咖啡馆播放的背景音乐。
王若琳独特的嗓音,被许多传媒封为“最舒服的声音”,更有媒体称Joanna为“慵懒美声小天后”。而王若琳稳健的台风和话不多的表演风格也令她独树一 格。2009年,唱作人 Joanna 再次翻唱西洋老歌并自己创作单曲,以复古又带点年轻可爱的新造型形象,为乐迷带来《Joanna&王若琳》。这张双CD中的一张收录了王若琳创作 的10首歌,另外一张则收录了她翻唱的老歌。
Times of Your Life
Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember
The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)
Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The memories are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life |
