老来独白年轻事，rod stewart 的演艺

1991 Warner Bros. Records Inc 出版了Rod的这张专辑。当年的格拉美晚会rod以一首《downtown train》献艺。听过很多rod的歌，一般国内著名的《sailing》也是他的歌。就是1991，在澳大利亚victory 的一个小镇的CD店里听一套JBL播放的这首歌，我毫不犹豫的化了二十七澳币买下。至今它依然保留在CD架上。沙哑磁性的嗓音经过录音棚的修饰以后让人觉得rod的老到，性感与年轻。但是当他开着灵宝间尼出现在演唱会时，这个歌却让我感觉rod老了。用不同的播放系统，在不同的环境听过rod的这首歌。最好的还是hum highway上country link长途汽车上对着旷野的sony discman的情景让我最难忘。真可谓：音乐，环境，心境，年龄，缺一不可。设备有的时候并不那么重要。

 

同样的歌由不同的歌手演艺也很大不同。《sometime when we touch》被很多歌手演艺过。但是我还是最喜欢rod的演艺。有一种老来独白年轻事的感觉。一样的激情，但早已物是人非了。

 

Lyrics 
 
Have i told you lately 

 
have i told you lately that i love you 
have i told you there's no one else above you 
fill my heart with gladness 
take away all my sadness 
ease my troubles that's what you do 
for the morning sun in all it's glory 
greets the day with hope and comfort too 
you fill my life with laughter 
and somehow you make it better 
ease my troubles that's what you do 
there's a love that's divine 
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun 
and at the end of the day 
we should give thanks and pray 
to the one, to the one 
have i told you lately that i love you 
have i told you there's no one else above you 
fill my heart with gladness 
take away all my sadness 
ease my troubles that's what you do 
there's a love that's divine 
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun 
and at the end of the day 
we should give thanks and pray 
to the one, to the one 
and have i told you lately that i love you 
have i told you there's no one else above you 
you fill my heart with gladness 
take away my sadness 
ease my troubles that's what you do 
take away all my sadness 
fill my life with gladness 
ease my troubles that's what you do 
take away all my sadness 
fill my life with gladness 
ease my troubles that's what you do 

 

Lyrics 

 

Sometimes When We Touch 

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity 
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you 
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you 
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
