尤其是學生時代看過他演的『情比姐妹深』(海灘)之後
買了電影原聲帶.當年我幾乎每晚必聽.
對於劇中的情節感動很深.一輩子要能有這樣一位知己足矣...
當時一個在餐廳駐唱的朋友聽過之後非常驚艷地說
『音域廣嗓音渾厚又這樣富感情...真是奇葩！』
來自夏威夷.身高155CM.無家世背景又不漂亮的她.
在歌壇影壇自在遊走.曾榮獲4座葛萊美獎.3座金球獎.3座艾美獎
1座安東尼獎.及2次入圍奧斯卡
聲音渾厚又帶感性.不起眼的外表卻詮釋出最深的溫柔.
選了他最有代表性的2首歌給大家欣賞~~
第一首 翼旁之風
第二首 玫瑰
~這首歌很多版本.這版本MV是『情比姐妹深』的背景~
It must've been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine,
That's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all of the laureates
While you were the one with all of the strain
A beautiful face without a name , for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
Of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you're my hero
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh,And I, I can fly higher than a eagle
(for)You are the wind beneath my wings
(for|)You are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you,you
You're the wind beneath my wings
Fly...fly...
You let me fly so high
So high against the sky
So high I almost touched the sky
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
(小蝶修正了些歌詞錯誤.後段fly開始的副歌在他每次演唱都有不同順序.
所以歌詞每個版本不盡相同.但都大同小異這些句子的組合.)
The Rose
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love is a flower
And you, it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the
lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
