Eagles(老鷹):
‧美國有史以來最暢銷的樂團。
‧擁有美國音樂史上,銷售排行榜第一名的專輯── Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 。
光這兩項記錄,夠嚇人吧?
要我選一個最喜愛的「終極樂團」,我也投 Eagles 一票。
他們太多好聽的作品,才華洋溢到驚人的程度。以後慢慢介紹。
Eagles 來自美國加州的洛杉磯,1970年代出道,直到2007年還推出新專輯。夠老牌,超有活力。
他們的團員來來去去,更迭頻仍,共經過六次改組。1980 他們投下一個震撼彈──居然解散,直教歌迷心碎。在大家焦急催促、引頸期盼下,他們終於在 1994 年復合,造成大轟動,成為當年音樂界的盛事。
這首「I Can't Tell You Why」由較少開口的貝斯手 Timothy B. Schmit 擔綱。Schmit 的招牌特色是一頭飄逸的長髮,溫柔清亮的嗓音,為這首歌增色不少。整曲情意纏綿,動人心弦,是我的 all-time favorites 之一。
就算你音響再爛,都應該聽得出,這是「極品」。
Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
through years in the dark?
Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy,
it just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
and I can't tell you why
no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
No, no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
