1972年，Albert Hammond发行单曲《It never rains in southern California》，该曲一发行就进入美国音乐榜前五。2005年作为韩剧《人鱼小姐》的插曲在中国又火了一把。不过本人喜欢这首歌与什么小姐无关，听着这听似欢快的旋律，我想到那些在外地淘金的人们。他们风尘仆仆，远离他乡，来到这曾经如何渴望来到的城市，梦想与成就，今得否？同样，也让我想起另一首同样以地名为名字的老歌"San Francisco"。Do you know what kind of people are you gonna meet there?百度试听It Never Rains In Southern California歌手：Albert Hammond Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven搭上西行的波音747Didn't think before deciding what to do不曾考虑何从何去Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies喔 人生充满机遇 荧屏电影上的一切就要成为现实Rang true, sure rang true ...成为现实Seems it never rains in southern California好象南加州从来不下雨Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before好象我常听到类似的说法It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?南加州从不下雨 可是乖乖 他们没有警告过你It pours, man, it pours我看 下的是倾盆大雨I'm out of work, I'm out of my head我没有工作 茫然失措Out of self respect, I'm out of bread我一贫如洗 找不到自己I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home没有人爱我 饥饿无比 我想回家It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?南加州从不下雨 可是乖乖 他们没有警告过你It pours, man, it pours我看 下的是倾盆大雨Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?你回去的时候 能不能告诉家里的人 我差一点就成功了Had offers but didn't know which one to take机会多多 但是要抓住也不容易Please don't tell them how you found me请别告诉他们你如何找到了我Don't tell 'em how you found me请别告诉他们你如何找到了我Give me a break, give me a break让我休息一下 休息一下Seems it never rains in southern California好象南加州从来不下雨Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before好象我常听到类似的说法It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?南加州从不下雨 可是乖乖 他们没有警告过你It pours, man, it pour我看 下的是倾盆大雨

美国民谣之后Joan Baez1941年1月9日出生于美国纽约Staten岛上，与"民谣皇帝"Bob Dylan齐名。1975年，Joan Baez加盟A&M唱片公司推出了专辑，标题歌曲Diamonds and rust，是以Baez和Dylan当年亦师亦友的感情为主轴谱写的作品。百度试听Well I'll be damnedHere comes your ghost againBut that's not unusualIt's just that the moon is fullAnd you happened to callAnd here I sitHand on the telephoneHearing a voice I'd knownA couple of light years agoHeading straight for a fallAs I remember your eyesWere bluer than robin's eggsMy poetry was lousy you saidWhere are you calling from?A booth in the midwestTen years agoI bought you some cufflinksYou brought me somethingWe both know what memories can bringThey bring diamonds and rustWell you burst on the sceneAlready a legendThe unwashed phenomenonThe original vagabondYou strayed into my armsAnd there you stayedTemporarily lost at seaThe Madonna was yours for freeYes the girl on the half-shellCould keep you unharmedNow I see you standingWith brown leaves falling aroundAnd snow in your hairNow you're smiling out the windowOf that crummy hotelOver Washington SquareOur breath comes out white cloudsMingles and hangs in the airSpeaking strictly for meWe both could have died then and thereNow you're telling meYou're not nostalgicThen give me another word for itYou who are so good with wordsAnd at keeping things vagueBecause I need some of that vagueness nowIt's all come back too clearlyYes I loved you dearlyAnd if you're offering me diamonds and rustI've already paid

约翰．丹佛在1971年以一曲《Take Me Home, Country road》（《乡路送我回家》）一跃成名为著名乡村音乐歌星。丹佛演唱的歌曲大部分都是自己创作的，歌曲以简单朴实，轻松随意的风格独树一帜。演唱的内容多为歌唱纯真的爱情、美好的理想、抒发怀乡之情或是带有哲理性的社会歌曲。约翰．丹佛也是中国观众最为熟悉的美国乡村歌手之一。不幸的是，丹佛已离我们而去，1997年10月他在一次飞行中不幸坠机遇难。Country Road是其代表作，歌曲以对西佛吉尼亚故乡的怀念为主线，追念逝去的纯真岁月：歌手正行车乡间路上，从他所居住城市到另一座城市去，要穿过这一段山路。公路两旁熟悉的景物使他感觉仿佛又踏上回乡之旅，潜藏心间的乡情油然而生，如清风徐徐。——这是本人永远都听不腻的歌。Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountain Shenandoah River Life is old there Older than the trees Younger than the mountains Growing like a breeze Country road. take me home To the place I belong West Virginia Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads All my memories Gather round her Miners Lady Stranger to blue water Dark and dusty Painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine Teardrops in my eyes Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice in the morning hours She calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home Yesterday,yesterday Country roads , take me home To the place I belong West Virginia Mountain Mama Take me home,country roads Country roads , take me home To the place I belong West Virginia Mountain Mama Take me home,country roads Take me home,country roads Take me home,country roads 就像是天堂，西维吉尼亚州 有蓝色山脊的群山和雪纳杜河 在那儿生命是古老的，比森林更古老 但比山脉年轻 像风一样自在的成长 乡村小路，带我回家 回到我属於的地方 就是西维吉尼亚州——山脉之母 带我回家，乡村小路 我所有的回忆都围绕著她——— 矿工的淑女、蓝色河流的陌生人、 涂满了黑与灰的天空 和朦胧的月光 泪水在我眼眶中打转 清晨时分，我听到她呼唤我的声音 广播节目提醒我家还很远 在开车的路上，我有一种感觉 我早该回到家的怀抱

“宁愿轰轰烈烈的死去，拒绝慢慢老去”80年代，电子合成器的科技加上MTV电视频道对音乐施予影像化的视觉，以英国为首的新浪潮节奏大举进军乐坛。1981年一支德国电子组合 Alphaville加入电子音乐的流行战局，造就了Big In Japan、Forvever Young、Dance With Me等人气代表作。百度试听Let's dance in styleLet's dance for a whileHeaven can waitWe're only watching the skiesHoping for the bestBut expecting the worstAre you going to drop the bomb or notLet us die young or let us live foreverWe don't have the powerBut we never say neverSitting in a sandpitLife is a short tripThe music's for the sad menCan you imagineWhen this race is wonTurn our golden faces into the sunPraising our leadersWe're getting in tuneThe music's played by the madmenForever youngI want to be forever youngDo you really want to live foreverForever and everForever youngI want to be forever youngDo you really want to live foreverForever youngSome are like waterSome are like the heatSome are a melody and some are the beatSooner or laterThey all will be goneWhy don't they stay youngIt's so hard to get old without a causeI don't want to perish like a fading horseYouth's like diamonds in the sunAnd diamonds are foreverSo many adventures couldn't happen todaySo many songs we forgot to playSo many dreamsnging out of the blueWe'll let them come trueForever youngI want to be forever youngDo you really want to live foreverForever and ever

和WHAM！乐队同名的一首歌Leonard Cohen - I'm Your ManIf you want a loverI'll do anything you ask me toAnd if you want another kind of loveI'll wear a mask for youIf you want a partnerTake my handOr if you want to strike me down in angerHere I standI'm your manIf you want a boxerI will step into the ring for youAnd if you want a doctorI'll examine every inch of youIf you want a driverClimb insideOr if you want to take me for a rideYou know you canI'm your manAh, the moon's too brightThe chain's too tightThe beast won't go to sleepI've been running through these promises to youThat I made and I could not keepAh but a man never got a woman backNot by begging on his kneesOr I'd crawl to you babyAnd I'd fall at your feetAnd I'd howl at your beautyLike a dog in heatAnd I'd claw at your heartAnd I'd tear at your sheetI'd say please, pleaseI'm your manAnd if you've got to sleepA moment on the roadI will steer for youAnd if you want to work the street aloneI'll disappear for youIf you want a father for your childOr only want to walk with me a whileAcross the sandI'm your manIf you want a loverI'll do anything you ask me toAnd if you want another kind of loveI'll wear a mask for you

Elvis Presley - Can’t Help Falling In Love 智者说：“只有傻子才会一头栽进去。”但我不能自已，爱上了你。喜欢在一个安静的午后，一个人泡上一杯茶，细细品味这轻柔抒情的歌声。时而感慨猫王的传奇的一生，时而陷入对爱情的沉思。她有时候让人温柔得有点无助；有时纵使智者在耳边嘲笑，却依然义无反顾。突然听见傻子也开始嘲笑，那些越来越智慧的人们，懂得什么？Can't Help Falling In Love － 猫王Wise men say only fools rush inbut I can't help falling in love with youShall I staywould it be a sinIf I can't help falling in love with youLike a river flows surely to the seaDarling so it goessome things are meant to betake my hand, take my whole life toofor I can't help falling in love with youLike a river flows surely to the seaDarling so it goessome things are meant to betake my hand, take my whole life toofor I can't help falling in love with youfor I can't help falling in love with you

成立于1976年的澳大利亚双人软摇滚乐队Air Supply推出了超过20张专辑及单曲，他们的作品一向高居美国流行音乐排行榜，除了获奖无数外，也被美国Billboard杂志推选为80年代最成功的流行音乐组合虽然别离如此痛苦但为了你，我们还是再见吧只消道声再见痛苦终将随风远去...Air Supply-GoodbyeI can see the pain living in your eyesAnd I kown how hard to tryYou deserve to have so much moreI can feel your hurt and I sympathizeAnd I’ll never critisizeAll you ever meant to my lifeI don’t want to let you downI don’t want to lead you onI don’t want to hold you back from where you might belongChorus:You would never ask me whyMy heart is so disguisedBut a just can’t live a lie anymoreI would rather hurt myselfThan to ever make you cryBut there’s nothing left to say - but goodbyeYou deserve a chance at the kind of loveI’m not sure I’m worthy ofLosing you is painful to meI don’t want to let you downI don’t want to lead you onI don’t want to hold you back from where you might belongChorus:You would never ask me whyMy heart is so disguisedBut a just can’t live a lie anymoreI would rather hurt myselfThan to ever make you cryBut there’s nothing left to try - and thoughIt’s gonna hurt us both - there’s just no other way than to say goodbye

Scorpions-You And I蝎子乐队最早成立于1969年，这支注重旋律动听的德国重金属乐队一直以令人叫绝的双吉他演奏和主唱嘹亮干净的高音而闻名乐坛。经历了30多年的风风雨雨，目前乐队只剩下Klaus Meine〔leader vocals〕, Rudolf Schenker——是乐队唯一一位自始至终的成员, Matthias Jabs〔leader guitar〕三名成员。第一次买的是他们2001年那张不插电演出，里面共集纳了乐队1971-2001最经典的十五支金曲，尽显柔情金属的魅力。喜欢上里面的好几首慢歌，虽然这首You and I 不如Still loving you, Wind of change等歌那样广为人知，但我的喜爱程度一点也不亚于那些。虽然放在这好像不怎么合适，但上上个星期从电脑里传出这首歌，那熟悉的旋律和吉他声让我一下子眼眶就湿润了，所以允许我把它做为个人的怀旧曲推荐给大家吧～You And II lose control because of you babeI lose control when you look at me like thisThere's something in your eyes that is saying tonightI'm not a child anymore, life has opened the doorTo a new exciting lifeIt's all written down in your lifelinesIt's written down inside your heartYou and I just have a dreamTo find our love a place, where we can hide awayYou and I were just madeTo love each other now, forever and a dayI lose control because of you babeI lose control don't look at me like thisThere's something in your eyes that is saying tonightI'm so curious for more just like never beforeIn my innocent lifeIt's all written down in your lifelinesIt's written down inside your heartYou and I just have a dreamTo find our love a place, where we can hide awayYou and I were just madeTo love each other now, forever and a dayTime stands still when the days of innocenceAre falling for the nightI love you girl I always willI swear I'm there for youTill the day I dieYeahYou and I just have a dreamTo find our love a place, where we can hide awayYou and I were just madeTo love each other now, forever and a dayYou and I just have a dreamTo find our love a place, where we can hide awayYou and I were just madeTo love each other now, forever and a day

Joan Jett - World Of DenialJoan Jett，1960年出生于美国费城，女子乐队The runways解散后，她个人走向了硬摇滚，成为80年代乐坛的风云人物。有时候简单而纯粹的摇滚乐更加深得人心。有人说：凭着I Love Rock And Roll(1981)和I Hate Myself For Loving You(1988)，Joan Jett足以笑傲整个女性摇滚乐坛。十分同意，但我现在想要放的是World Of Denial试听页面：http://www.tingdao.com/play/23812.htmlWorld Of Denial(joan jett/k. aaronson)How did we get to this place?I thought that we would have settled this by nowI thought that blood was thicker than mudI guess I was wrongIf love was a ship sailing oceans deepThen your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leakYou'll learn the truth but it may take a whileBecause you're livin' in a world of denialAll we have is our family an' our friendsWhy let this thing come to a painful end?I thought that we'd embraceInstead we pull awayI guess I was wrongIf love was a ship sailing oceans deepThen your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leakYou'll learn the truth but it may take a whileBecause you're livin' in a world of denialGo on - keep on playin' dirtyGo on - keep on breaking all the rulesGo on - keep doin' what your doin'You're gonna look good on the front page newsIf love was a ship sailing oceans deepThen your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leakYou'll learn the truth but it may take a whileBecause you're livin' in a world of denialYou got control so you just don't careBut it won't be me who'll go runnin' scaredYou'll learn the truth but it may take a whileCause you're just livin' in a world of denial

大部分作品在国内也算广为流传了，蛮喜欢民谣一类的东西，Joan Baez的嗓音真不错，没记错的话她比Dylan大一点儿。
