从今天开始,我想介绍一些比较著名的流行音乐。想来想去,就从《Moonlight Shadow》这首被誉为“从20世纪唱到21世纪”的歌曲吧!
Mike Oldfield,英国作曲家,Moonlight Shadow的创作人。在为.恐怖经典电影《大.法.师》增添阴森慑人的气氛。专辑中Mike Oldfield亲自演奏了近30项的乐器,不仅被誉为乐器天才,其中电子合成器的运用,也被视为日后新世纪音乐的起源之一。在他的专辑《crises》中,这首歌曲位于歌曲列表第二位。在Moonlight Shadow中,Mike Oldfield尝试加入人声演唱来丰富旋律情感写出的畅销佳作之一。据说此歌还是暗指John Lennon遭暗杀,或许大家从歌词意思可以看出点眉目吧!
不过由于忧郁的个性与压力双重影响,Mike Oldfield处于精神崩溃边缘,因此他过着隐士的生活甚至接受治疗。
Maggie Reilly,苏格兰人,是 Moonlight Shadow最早版本原唱歌手。这歌曲先以单曲形式于1983年发行。
Fiorella Pierobon演唱的Moonlight Shadow则可以说是柔情版中的佼佼者了。
Dana Winner,比利时女歌手,其翻唱版本是比较有代表性的。她的歌声甜美柔和,很适合歌曲的意境。
Aselin Debison,1990年出生。这位来自加拿大的小女孩演唱此歌的时候才12岁。
Annie Haslam,杰出的音乐创作人和演唱家,也曾翻唱此曲。
Kokia,日本歌手,在其专辑《Songbird》中,她也推出了她的翻唱版本。
Mixture vokale,合唱团版本也有了!
Groove Coverage,舞动精灵王族,曾有两个翻唱版本,这个有名的德国乐团的翻唱版本可谓家喻户晓。歌曲感觉上节奏感很强,是这个乐队的代表作之一。
Missing Heart,一个德国专业音乐制作组,其两名歌手各自出过独立版本的翻唱版本。
Lyane Leigh,她的演唱版本是我的最爱,强烈推荐。
Manu More也演唱过此曲。
日本游戏公司konami在其游戏里也加入了这首歌。
Diatonica,一个电子乐队,也推出其版本的Moonlight Shadow.

歌词:
The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river last saturday night
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day
Four am in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day
Far away on the other side.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side.
