說起邁克爾·傑克遜留下的歌曲,很多人都喜歡他和Lionel Richie在1985年聯手創作,由45位著名歌星共同參與,為非洲賑災募捐演唱的那首打動人心的《We Are The World》。
那首歌充滿了博大的情懷和對人類的摯愛,通過幾十個歌星的聲音向全世界發出了呼喚,讓世界充滿愛,讓我們攜手來改變世界。。。
最近看了網友的推薦,才知道邁克爾·傑克遜後來還單獨創作了另一首好歌《What More Can I Give》。這首歌的創作靈感起源於1999年他與南非前總統曼德拉的會麵,但2001年的911事件促使他完成了這首歌。借此呼籲人類付出愛心,共同抵製仇視,暴力和屠殺。
他招集了全球著名的35位歌星一起演唱錄製這首歌,並在2001年10月21日為911義演募捐5000萬美元的大型音樂會“United We Stand”上正式演出。
可惜,這首歌後來因為邁克爾·傑克遜和索尼公司的出版糾紛而未能正式出版發行。使得這首歌的流傳不如《We Are The World》那樣廣泛。
在網上第一次聽這首歌,我就被那歌詞所震撼。
多少人的慘死才能將我們喚醒
多少孩子的哭泣才能讓我們行動起來
。。。。。。
仇恨和殘忍,已經太多了
為什麽我們不能友好的呼喚,做個朋友?
。。。。。。
盡你所有,付出你的愛!
盡你所有,付出你的愛!
。。。。。。
這歌聲在呼喚著人類的愛心,期待著大家行動起來,共同抵製仇視,暴力和屠殺。。。
看了下麵這段音頻,我想你也會喜歡上這首歌的。
《What More Can I Give》
How many people will have to die before we will take a stand
How many children will have to cry, before we do all we can
If sending your love is all you can give
To help one live, mmm
How many times can we turn our heads
And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounds of our broken earth
We are one global family
Just sending your prayers
Is something you feel
Helping one heal
What have I got that I can give
(What have I got that I can give, tell me)
What have I got that I can give, yeah, oh
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give (what more can I give, yeah)
brother to brother, lay down our fears and reach out and make a pact
Show him the love that is in our hearts, let us bring salvation back
Just sending your love has the power to heal
So let us all give
What have I got that I can give
(It is not a lot to give, just a little bit)
What have I got that I can give
(Everyone should be a part of it)
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give
Say the words, I will lay em down for you
Just call my name, I am your friend
See then why do they keep teaching us
Such hate and cruelty
We should give over and over again
What have I got that I can give
(We should give over and over again)
What have I got that I can give
(Oh my God, oh my God)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give
