【秋】齐豫和Viktor Lazlo的《Stories》# LeisureTime - 读书听歌看电影

I remember quite clearly now when this story happened
The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground
Recovering the lake where we used to swim like children
On the sun would dare to shine
That time we used to be happy
Well, I thought we were
But the truth was that -
You had been longing to leave me
Not daring to tell me
On that precious night
watching the lake
vaguely conscious
You said, our story was ending
——每一个听过齐豫这首《Stories》的人,都会清晰地记得这段令人遍体生凉的开场
白吧。无边落木萧萧下,清夜临湖梦醒时——歌曲讲述了一个失恋女子的绝望。在齐豫
出世的唱腔中浮起的这口儿时嬉戏的湖,让我莫名其妙地联想起徐小斌的诡秘小说《对
一个精神病患者的调查》里反复出现的那口在漆黑夜空下泛出幽蓝寒光的湖,充满神灵
气息。
齐豫1987年推出的《Stories》英语歌翻唱专辑别出心裁,一举走红,其中翻唱Elain
Paige的《Memory》、翻唱Don Mclean的《Castle in the Air》、翻唱Blast的《
Unknown Musician》、翻唱Joan Baez的《Diamond and Dust》、翻唱Modern Talking
的《Like a Hero》等等都成了齐豫的标志歌曲。
专辑以Stories命名,此曲又排在专辑之首,显得分量很重。查得原曲为法国女歌手
Viktor Lazlo(该艺名来自电影《卡萨布兰卡》)1985年的专辑《She》中的一曲,由
Lazlo与人合写并编曲制作,分英法两个版本(法语版名为Canoë Rose)。这张爵
士流行风格的专辑颇受好评;Lazlo演绎的《故事》,是人间烟火女子的伤情:

当时饱听西方音乐的台湾乐评人吴正忠正在为齐豫筹备中的首张英文专辑选歌,深为《
She》专辑中的半说半唱、半叙事半抒情的高难度歌曲《Stories》打动,强力推荐给齐
豫。齐豫也一见钟情,毫不犹豫地把它列为新专辑的主打歌。仔细听齐豫的版本、配器
、演绎都更为凄清。齐豫的咬字吐音真是无比清晰;这首歌曾被我用在听力课上,让学
生听写歌词。女学生都爱得不行……齐豫的演绎,简直出尘得逼人。

还有兴趣的朋友可以再听听Viktor Lazlo唱的法语版——法语真是慵懒调情的语言!

另附开场白之外的歌词:
Now I'm standing here
no one to wipe away my tears
No one to keep me warm
and no one to walk along with
No one to make me feel no one to make me hope
Oh, what am I to do?
I'm standing here alone
It doesn't seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of mine
Oh what am I to do,
Or how should I react?
Oh tell me, please
(speech)
The rain was killing the last days of summer
You had been killing my last breath of love
Since a long time ago
I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story
You took it all away from me
And there I stand, I knew I was gonna be the...
The one left behind
But still I'm watching the lake
vaguely conscious
And I know -
my life is ending
The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground
Recovering the lake where we used to swim like children
On the sun would dare to shine
That time we used to be happy
Well, I thought we were
But the truth was that -
You had been longing to leave me
Not daring to tell me
On that precious night
