今天我们介绍的这首英文歌曲,是“爸爸妈妈乐队”的女歌手凯丝.艾略特(Cass Elliot)的独唱作品。提起“爸爸妈妈乐队”(The Mamas and the Papas),也许很多不了解美国六七十年代音乐的网友并不熟悉;但提起他们的作品,很多人就会恍然如悟:“噢!原来那是他们的作品”。

    爸爸妈妈乐队成立稍晚于沙滩男孩组合(The Beach Boys),虽然没有能像沙滩男孩那样大红大紫,但也有过一段灿烂的辉煌:他们的《加州之梦》(California Dreamin')自从1966年问世以来,可以说是传唱不衰,风靡全球;看过《重庆森林》或是《阿甘正传》的人,一定记得《加州之梦》这首插曲。多亏了这首曲子,使我们在阴冷沉重的现实中,能够将梦飞翔到温暖和煦的阳光海岸……

 
    凯丝.艾略特(Cass Elliot)虽然身材肥胖,但性格却十分豪爽;其作品热情奔放,声音高亢有力,是乐队中最受听众欢迎的成员。而《打造自己的音乐》(Make Your Own 1 Kind Of Music)一歌则是她最受欢迎的曲目之一。

    据说在凯丝初入乐队时,还发生过一些波折。乐队主唱John Philips认为她的音线不高,无法与乐队其他成员构成完美和声,所以一直不同意她的加入。后来由于一次意外事故,凯丝的头部被重物击中,造成轻微脑震荡,住了几天医院后,她居然可以唱上去了!就这样,妈妈凯丝(Mama Cass Elliot)成了新乐队的一员。

    比起别的流行歌曲,打造自己的音乐(Make Your Own Kind Of Music)显得很短,歌曲仅两分多钟长。因此,如果你只是聆听它的旋律,会觉得意犹未尽;而如果你能理解它的歌词,它传递给你的思考则远远不止两分钟的长度。

 
    “没有人能告诉你,世上只有某一首歌值得去唱;有人会劝你“泯然众人”,是因为你使他们不爽。你必须打造自己的音乐,唱自己的歌,就算没有任何人和你一起唱……做好自己,就是世界上最难做的事。”

    每个人都或多或少地生活在“人言”之中:哼自己的歌曲,却担心别人嘲笑我的嗓音;穿自己的衣服,却担心别人嘲笑我的品味;爱自己所爱的,却担心别人嘲笑我愚蠢。而事实上,没有人有资格告诉你如何选择,也不必因为别人的眼光而放弃自己的选择。让我们一起来听听凯丝.艾略特的这首歌,真诚地希望每个人都能“Make your own kind of music,Sing your own special song,Even if nobody 2 else sings along”。

  

    Make Your Own Kind Of Music / Mama Cass Elliot

  Nobody can tell ya
  There's only one song worth singing
  They may try and sell ya
  Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

  But you've gotta make your own kind of music
  Sing your own special song
  Make your own kind of music
  Even if nobody else sings along

  You're gonna be nowhere
  The loneliest kind of lonely
  It may be rough going
  Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

  But you've gotta make your own kind of music
  Sing your own special song
  Make your own kind of music
  Even if nobody else sings along

  So if you cannot take my hand
  And if you must be going
  I will understand

  You've gotta make your own kind of music
  Sing your own special song
  Make your own kind of music
  Even if nobody else sings along

  You've gotta make your own kind of music
  Sing your own special song
  Make your own kind of music
