今年的確一直在翻唱The Carpenters的作品， 上半年把多年前買的一本關於Karen Carpenter的傳記"Little Girl Blue"翻出來從頭到尾讀了一遍，唏噓不已。她的悲劇，和原生家庭脫不了關係，加上當年心理健康醫療的水平和認知的欠缺...碰巧今年她的老哥和她的一些好友也在媒體上證實，或者承認了很多當年的情況。
他們的音樂對我影響很大。特別喜歡這首歌輕快的旋律。翻唱的時候不同的區域前前後後疊加了超過20個音軌，雖然唱那麽多次有些麻煩，但是錄到後來，跟著自己前麵錄好的音軌合唱，體會到了旋律帶來的無比愉悅。
All You Get From Love Is a Love Song
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The future that lies before me I cannot see (look out, look out - the future I cannot see)
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Look out, look out - the future I cannot see
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song (all you get from love is a love, love song)
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song (got to take the blame for a love, love song)
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
And it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song (all you get from love is a love, love song)
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
All you get from love is a love song...
