Chicago - Look Away



又來一首老歌了 80年代沒聽過Chicago
就像沒聽過鄧麗君一樣 沒聽過的朋友
快趁現在Chicago又發行撈錢精選去敗一張吧
(兩年精選一次是怎樣??)

就我的認知
Chicago算是"樂隊" 而不是"樂團"吧
二三十年來出過的專輯
大概台灣只有余天之輩可以打敗
雖說90年代初 團中主嗓Peter Cetera離團之後
Chicago出了"21"之後 可以說是越來越走下坡
之後不論台美 似乎都很少聽到有正式專輯發行
當然 那時的我也瘋狂的愛上搖滾樂
幾乎不碰西洋流行樂
所以到底是不紅還是我資訊不足 也倒無所謂了

當時紅遍天下的Chicago
膾炙人口的歌曲可在精選中一再回味
雖然99%都是描述情愛世界
但對當時對感情充滿憧憬的我而言
也算是心靈的一大輔佐~
不過沒有認識到什麼異性倒是真的~

這首經典歌曲當初好像拿下該年度全美Billboard的年度Top 1
想必被這種女人拋棄的美國男人應該也很多

這首歌也是悲情男人的苦水
第一句歌詞就可以看出何謂苦到最高點

"When you called me up this morning,
Told me about the new love you found,
I'm said I'm happy for you,
I'm really happy for you."

這種狀況 除了窩囊之外
只能叫那無緣的女人
如果看到我眼中仍有淚水的話
請把眼角的餘光撇到旁邊去
(可以再窩囊一點~)

But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.

以下是歌詞 看完一遍後
有共鳴的可以去買買CD來哭一遭~

Look Away

When you called me up this morning,
Told me about the new love you found,
I' said I'm happy for you,
I'm really happy for you.
Found someone else,
I guess I won't be coming around.
I guess it's over, baby;
It's really over, baby, whoa...

And from what you said
I know you've gotten over me;
It'll never be the way it used to be.
So if it's gotta be this way,
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay.

(Repeat)
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the streets someday,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me;
I don't want you to see me this way.

When we both agreed as lovers,
We were better off as friends,
That's how it had to be,
Yeah, that's how it had to be.
I tell you I'm fine
But sometimes I just pretend;
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, whoa...
I just never thought,
That I would be replaced so soon;
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you.
I know I wanted to be free;
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be.

[Repeat 2x]

When you called me up this morning,
Told me about the new love you found,
I' said I'm happy for you,
I'm really happy for you.

真是可憐~
