Have You Never Been Mellow - Olivia Newton John

Olivia Newton John，英國出生的澳洲女星。
1971年發行第一張專輯，就一鳴驚人，以美國民謠巨擘Bob Dylon為她寫的單曲 If not for you 登上流行榜。

隨後展開一帆風順的事業。

外形甜美，多才多藝的她，歌而優則演，並在1978年參與「油脂小子」（Grease）的演出，使她登上天后地位。 1981年以單曲 Physical 登上排行榜冠軍，專輯也獲得雙白金*殊榮，讓她的事業達到最高峰。

她的歌曲中，我最喜歡的倒不是她那些狄斯可名曲，而是這首小品「Have You Never Been Mellow」。 整首歌聽來，溫馨而有淡淡的喜悅，算是「不八股的勵志歌曲」。哈哈。 而她當年模樣，既清心可人，又嬌豔欲滴... 教我也不禁心動，真迷煞人也！

她今年已經六十歲了，很奇怪，雖然不免增添風霜，但美貌依舊之外，更多了股成熟的韻味，顯得更迷人了。 不知是否和她長期從事「環境與動物保護」有關？
有人說，「三十歲以前的面貌由父母負責，三十歲以後靠自己」。
看來，「存好心，做好事」是很棒的美容方法囉。

這首歌，獻給兩位網友：一位好色男士，一位憂鬱男士～ 請各取所需囉。

*雙白金：每個國家標準不同，要視人口多寡決定。在美國為兩百萬張。






There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
