Simple Tune X Airy Tone: Dedicated To…

RubberBand: Dedicated to...

 

曾經認為翻唱專輯

會好聽會受落

是很理所當然的

 

把經典 hit songs

收集起來再唱一遍

怎樣都會好聽啊

而且反正歌曲都是現成的

幾乎變得好容易

 

到 方大同《Timeless 可啦思克》

才對翻唱專輯有不同的見解

尤其是編曲上

如何為歌曲注入新的氣息

 

歌曲的連貫性

如何把不同時代,語言,曲風的作品

融合在一張專輯里面

而聽起來是沒有排斥的效果

反而很smooth going

像是聽一張全新的創作

 

《Dedicated To…》做到了

反正聽了就是很 RubberBand 的 tempo

有那種回到少年時期

找回當初感動的那種感動

卻帶有少少的憂傷感嘆

 

值得一提是

《同桌的你 What’s Up》

把老狼的《同桌的你》

和 4 Non Blondes’s 《What’s Up》

兩首完全不同曲風的歌曲

融成了一首

感覺很清新

 

從開始

覺得這版本的 《More Than A Woman》 不錯

姚謙寫的 《紀念》 一直都這么叫人懷念

 

一直到

確定我更喜歡的是 

《Dedicated To…》整張專輯

而不僅是是單一的個別作品

 

RubberBand 的 ABC 四部曲:

  • Apollo
  • Beaming
  • Connected
  • Dedicated To…

不得對他們的

Expectation 越來越高了

Oh, girl I’ve known you very well
I’ve seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away

Suddenly you’re in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you.

Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die

Oh say you’ll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time

More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
oh, oh, oh

There are stories old and true
Of people so in love like you and me
And I can see myself
Let history repeat itself

Reflecting how I feel for you
Thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
I’d fall in love with you again

This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose you now I know I would die

Oh say you’ll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time

More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
oh, oh , oh.

More than a woman, you’re more than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, More than more than more than a woman to me
Oh, oh, oh
