寧靜的內在力量

謝謝你如此替我著想，還給我一片 saxophone CD 助我開懷。

嗯，既然在 CD 裡有這演奏曲，blog 這裡似乎也該換上一首意境比較高遠的歌曲了……OK，就去 CD 櫃把這首歌挑出來吧：“Amazing Grace”，最常見的中譯名稱叫做「奇異恩典」。

雖然這是首宗教歌曲，但如果不去細究歌詞，純聽音樂或演唱，一樣可感受到一股寧靜的內在力量。

這麼有名的歌曲，演唱者、演奏者不計其數。在此我選錄兩個最喜歡的演唱版本。

Judy Collins 的版本，仍維持她一貫的溫婉迷人風格，不誇大，不賣弄，如原野的涓涓細流，將寧靜注滿你心。

娜娜 (Nana Mouskouri) 的版本，由於注入了較多聲樂元素，表現得較為華麗；加上和聲及配器，彷彿置身於教堂中，空間充滿了共振的音符……\r

閉起眼睛，靜靜欣賞吧。I once was lost, but now I am found; Was blind, but now I see…

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come;
’Tis grace that brought us safe thus far,
And grace will lead us home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Hi William,
五百年沒聽詩歌
心血來潮想聽 Amazing Grace 居然逛到你的介紹\r
Judy Collins 真是非常棒我喜歡她的詮釋
也謝謝你的分享\r
多待了一會看了也聽了你的其他音樂介紹我都很喜歡
有些很熟悉有些之前沒涉獵\r
以後會上來逛逛
請你再繼續用力分享吧\r
Thanks.

太棒了, 有人提到 Judy Collins.
世界上只剩下幾隻天生的 Singing Birds,
從年輕到老都是那樣迷人…
Carol King, Jane Birkin… etc.
真的藝術家氣味濃的歌手真是太棒了
與大家分享我很喜歡的這歌詞

::Both Sides Now ::

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds
From both sides now
From up and down
And still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love
From both sides now
From give and take
And still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost and something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life
From both sides now
From win and lose
And still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

以前曾經介紹過 Judy Collins 所唱的 “Send in the Clowns” 及 “Amazing Grace”，既然後來 iamastar 和 Elizabeth_Rainbow 都留言提起另一首歌 “Both Sides Now”，我就統一在此做個回應吧。 [...]
