【熱夏生活隨筆】昨晚與狗兒一齊聽音樂會，他聽進去了

昨天加拿大飄來的灰色的空氣還是嚴重，但是呢，在河邊的樹蔭下空氣還是不錯的，晚上遛狗、帶上狗兒去附近的街上聽歌看音樂會、看其它狗狗，很有收獲。

有一首歌叫 Somewhere over the rainbow 彩虹之上，前幾天俺還唱過了，所以把這個現場女歌手的視頻放在這兒，不聽歌也可以看店裏賣啥好東西。這條街春天兩邊的全是櫻花盛開，很美的，在大街水泥麵上畫著好多不同造型的櫻花，提醒過往的人們，美麗的春天曾經來過。

 

狗兒說，老板，你不是前兩天剛唱的嗎？這聲音我聽出來了，忘記了小狗最後有沒有鼓掌，你們自己看吧。謝謝聽歌，夏季快樂。

最後下麵是俺們唱的那個, 以及歌詞。

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

[Bridge]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

[Verse 3]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?

[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

About

 

Also known as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the 1939 classic and Academy Award winning song from “Wizard of Oz”.
In 2001, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America named the song the 20th century top song (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” came second).

Written by a pair of NYC based writers (who also wrote the rest of the film’s songs), the song became a classic and an all time favorites. Lyricist Yip Harburg, though he was never credited for that.

While expressing a general hope for a better future, fitting well the story’s motif, the song draws on the lyricist’s personal Jewish experience, tradition and the ominous pre WWII and holocaust era.

An insight into the songwriter’s soul –

A song is the pulse of a nation’s heart, a fever chart of its health. Are we at peace? Are we in trouble? Do we feel beautiful? Are we violent? Listen to our songs.

The song has multiple covers, one even annotated on this very site… Israel Kamakawiwo'ole’s 1993 “Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World”.
