家园 【圣诞快乐】So This is Christmas

[FLY][SIZE=3]SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS祝朋友们圣诞及新年快乐![/SIZE][/FLY]

书生平常上下班开车的时候,喜欢听KRTH FM101音乐台,觉得这个频率播出的60-70年代的Classical Rock比较符合胃口。可是到了每年感恩节后至新年期间的所谓“Holiday Season”,书生则喜欢把频率锁定在KOST FM103.5。每年的这段时间,KOST都会24小时不间断地集中播出各式各样的圣诞歌曲。从古老的Ave Maria到西语英语混合的Feliz Navidad,几乎囊括了所有书生知道的不知道的圣诞歌曲。最让我喜欢的是,我可以听到同一首歌的不同版本,例如,书生最喜欢的圣诞歌曲是Nat King Cole的《Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire》,在这段期间,我至少听到十个以上不同版本,不同艺术家的表演,真是享受。

昨天还听到了几乎被书生忘掉的列侬和洋子的圣诞歌曲《Happy Xmas (War is Over)》,觉得很精彩,贴上来与大家共享。

这首歌是列侬和洋子合作1971年完成,列侬和洋子共同演唱的。音乐制作人是Phil Spector。说到这个Spector,他有个外号叫作“音乐之墙”,喜欢在歌曲里面加入效果宏大的管弦乐,合唱等作为背景来衬托主旋。Phil Spector是列侬最信任的音乐制作人,披头士后期的《Let it Be》专辑和披头士分裂后列侬,乔治哈里森的很多专辑都是请Spector制作,包括列侬的《Imagine》等名曲。在这首列侬和洋子的《Happy Xmas (War is Over)》歌曲中,Spector加入了童声合唱作为衬托。和列侬的歌声相比,洋子声音出现的时候节奏有一点点减慢。

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

And what have we done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so happy Christmas

We hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

War is over

If you want it

War is over

Now...

保罗麦卡特尼和他的Wings乐队也作了一首不错的圣诞歌曲《Simply having a wonderful christmastime》。其实乔治哈里森和Ringo Starr也都有自己的圣诞歌曲出版,只不过不如约翰和保罗的那样出名。

Paul McCartney 《Simply having a wonderful christmastime》
