音樂甜品 #8: John Denver - Perhaps Love

Perhaps Love是令我下定決心要學習錄音的樂曲。熟悉長笛的朋友都會聽過James Galway名稱,雖然他的聲音不像長笛,但其穿透力卻使他能勝任流行音樂的錄音工作。流行音樂多用電子合成器和喜歡對聲音進行放大,由於長笛不適合作過多的後期處理,要讓其聲音能從樂隊中穿透出來,並不容易。這亦是我錄制長笛所遇到的一大難題。解決方案多是用多個mic同時收音和減少樂隊的樂器數目,或更換聲音更厚實的樂器...

這次,我出齊三招,所以終於可以用將配器做得豐富一點。

此曲歌詞描寫不同的人對愛有不同的理解,總結愛的各項特質,有得視其如一切(Some say love is everything),有的則仍不知其所以(Some say they don't know)。即使愛是如此難捉摸,歌曲的旋律卻依然流露出希望和喜悅。

面對不知的,恆常改變的,選擇樂觀和相信, 相信PERHAPS something good will happen, 也許就是歌曲要告訴我們的訊息。

最後,祝願業主的病能盡快全愈。

perhaps love is like a resting place 或許愛像一個休憩的地方
a shelter from the storm 一個躲風避雨的屏障
it exists to give you comfort 在那些艱難的歲月裡
it is there to keep you warm 是愛帶來了舒適
and in those times of trouble 賜予你渴望的暖房
when you are most alone 當你孤獨的時候
the memory of love will bring you home 愛的回憶將指引你歸航

perhaps love is like a window 愛或許像一扇窗
perhaps an open door 或許是一扇開啟的門
it invites you to come closer 它召喚你走近
it wants to show you more 並敞開寬闊的胸膛
and even if you lose yourself 即使你迷失自己
and don't know what to do 即使你手足無措
the memory of love will see you through 愛的回憶讓你不再彷徨

oh, love to some is like a cloud 有人的愛像雲一樣飄忽
to some as strong as steel 有人的愛像鐵一樣堅強
for some a way of living 有人的愛是生活的方式
for some a way to feel 有人的愛是一種感傷

and some say love is holding on 有人說愛是占有
and some say letting go 有人說愛是給與自由
and some say love is everything 有人說愛是一切
and some say they don't know 有人說愛是迷茫


perhaps love is like the ocean 或許愛更像大海
full of conflict, full of change 時而變換時而無常
like a fire when it's cold outside 像寒冷時分的烈焰
or thunder when it rains 像落雨時的雷響
if i should live forever 假如我能頤養天年
and all my dreams come true 假如我能成就夢想
my memories of love will be of you 回憶裡都將是你愛的光芒

and some say love is holding on 有人說愛是擁有
and some say letting go 有人說愛是自由
and some say love is everything 有人說愛是一切
and some say they don't know 有人說愛是迷茫

perhaps love is like the ocean 或許愛更像大海
full of conflict, full of change 時而變換時而無常
like a fire when it's cold outside 像寒冷時分的烈焰
or thunder when it rains 像落雨時的雷響
if i should live forever 假如我能頤養天年
and all my dreams come true 假如我能成就夢想
my memories of love will be of you 回憶裡都將是你愛的光芒
