ZT: 让我们来聆听一下Skeeter Davis纯真的嗓音,对于这个已有些陌生的名字,或许会有人问:"她是谁?是乡村艺人吗......?" 这位曾跨界而今已默默无闻的歌手,虽已于去年离开世间,但在乡村大家庭里应永有她的一席之地.遥想出道之初,作为Davis Sisters二重组的成员之一,她本该有大的发展,无奈造化弄人,徒留遗憾!其中故事限于篇幅,就此打住.
这首63年乡村及流行排行榜双料亚军的歌曲,(Cashbox 年终冠军)据说原是作者为怀念亡父写就,虽是流行曲风,但由Skeeter Davis演唱,却赋予其不同的生命,在键盘连绵的三连音中,少女诉说着无助的哀愁,全曲流畅而抒情.声部和音亦来自歌者本人。近半个世纪过去了，当耳畔重又响起她纯真而略显生涩的歌声，您听到了什么？失恋的故事还是对于生命的叹息？我珍爱此歌,如上所述并不在歌曲的本身,而在于歌者所带来的气息,这听上去多少有些"痴人说梦"!但于我却是真切的!如同微微风中远野的芬芳......
THE END OF THE WORLD
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
THE END OF THE WORLD
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
