撼動鐵幕的火光 ~Wind of Change



Scorpions - Wind Of Change (1989)


Lyrics & Music: Klaus Meine


I folow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change

An August summer night

Soldiers passing by

Listening to the wind of change



The world is closing in

Did you ever think

That we could be so close, like brothers

The future's in the air

I can feel it everywhere

Blowing with the wind of change



Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change



Walking down the street

Distant memories

Are buried in the past forever

I folow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change



Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams

With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change



The wind of change

Blows straight into the face of time

Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell

For peace of mind

Let your balalaika sing

What my guitar wants to say



Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams

With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change




在這支MV裡可以看到1989民運、東歐的人民革命、蘇聯的解體以及柏林圍牆被推倒之後的兩德統一畫面,這是來自德國的搖滾樂團 Scorpions (天蠍)1988年在當年蘇聯列寧格勒的演唱會,讓蘇聯當局在一年後的1989年同意在莫斯科舉辦一場難得一見的搖滾和平音樂會。

在這場音樂節中,Scorpions 就在這二十多萬名蘇聯搖滾樂迷歡呼聲中演唱,當時還有其他重金屬搖滾如 Bon Jovi、蘇俄樂團 Gorky Park (出現在歌詞中)。

1989年9月,Scorpions 主唱 Klaus Meine 將這場演出的經驗和感受寫下,成為樂團的暢銷單曲「Wind Of Change」,收錄在1991年「Crazy World」之中。


Scorpions - Crazy World (1990)


全球共產政權垮台骨牌效應排山倒海之際,撼動鐵幕的搖滾樂團


1989年底,一切似乎來得太快,象徵冷戰標誌的柏林圍牆被推倒了。「Wind Of Change」成為壓垮鐵幕共產主義和冷戰結束時期的代表國歌。

1990年,Roger Waters 具聲光效果的搖滾製作 The Wall 在柏林圍牆舊址舉行,Scorpions 也獲邀參與演唱,當夜只能以「撼動人心」來形容。



Scorpions 也出過俄文版的「Wind Of Change」。1991年他們受前蘇聯領袖戈巴契夫的邀請,到克寧姆林宮參加一場研討會。

想必戈巴契夫也是他們的 fans,哈哈。


Scorpions - Lovedrive (1979)


收錄 Scorpions 在1979年專輯中第三首的「Always Somewhere」,在1984年他們以「Still Loving You」打入台灣市場後才順勢提高了知名度,這也再一次地顯示了80'年代台灣西洋音樂的商業主流仍然是以抒情歌曲為主,而不同於一般輕吟軟語的情歌,搖滾樂團所演唱的抒情(搖滾)歌曲之所以令人更加感動,一方面除了樂手本身擅長以奔放豐沛的嗓音加強其所表達的澎湃情感之外,各人樂器的演繹使得歌曲在人聲之外更有一份延續性的效果。


Scorpions - Always Somewhere (1979)



Music: Rudolf Schenker

Lyrics: Klaus Meine


Arrive at seven the place feels good

No time to call you today

Encores till eleven then Chinese food

Back to the hotel again



I call your number the line ain't free

I like to tell you come to me

A night without you seems like a lost dream

Love I can't tell you how I feel



Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again



Another morning another place

The only day off is far away

But every city has seen me in the end

And brings me to you again



Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again


再繼續下去,我便又順便想將偏愛的歌曲拿出來聽聽:


Scorpions - Pure Instinct (1996)


Scorpions - You And I (1996)

Lyrics & Music: Klaus Meine



I lose control because of you babe

I lose control when you look at me like this

There's something in your eyes that is saying tonight

I'm not a child anymore, life has opened the door

To a new exciting life



It's all written down in your lifelines

It's written down inside your heart



You and I just have a dream

To find our love a place, where we can hide away

You and I were just made

To love each other now, forever and a day



I lose control because of you babe

I lose control don't look at me like this

There's something in your eyes that is saying tonight

I'm so curious for more just like never before

In my innocent life



It's all written down in your lifelines

It's written down inside your heart



You and I just have a dream

To find our love a place, where we can hide away

You and I were just made

To love each other now, forever and a day



Time stands still when the days of innocence

Are falling for the night

I love you girl I always will

I swear I'm there for you

Till the day I die



You and I just have a dream

To find our love a place, where we can hide away

You and I were just made

To love each other now, forever and a day



P.S.
在這篇主題之外,曾經在網路上看過一篇短文,緣起於 Scorpions 在1982年專輯「Blackout」裡的歌曲「When The Smoke Going Down」,頗引人喟嘆於那一切消失於煙霧中、錯過的~~~

終於介紹當年我最喜歡的搖滾樂團囉!!

感謝感謝!!

許多歌我現在還一直在聽

這首wind of change,

還有當年最常聽的when the smoke going down,

always somewhere, holiday,

send me an angel, still loving you, under the same sun....

anyway, 這是我最喜愛的八零樂團,

大概是當年時常聽吧

也是歌聲會把我帶回當時心情有關吧

呵呵

markim 提到...

哈哈哈!原來妳也喜歡Scorpions,

從1984年單曲「Still Loving You」以來,

已經不必為這個德國搖滾樂團多做介紹,

雖然他們在當地其實唱得是非常重的音樂;



在此將幾首歌曲分享討論就好囉。

麗思 提到...

週一到週五我每天早上有一小時左右的簡單瑜珈

週六 週日我們這些人就開週末早晨的榕樹下音樂會

歡迎連結網頁 謝謝你

markim 提到...

麗思姐姐,你們還有音樂會喔?真羨慕呀~~~

sunnyw1980 提到...

markin手腳真快

補上我最愛的 always somewhere!!

幾乎每一首都聽

比之歌聲完美的偶像團體

scorpions是我最愛聽的搖滾樂團之一

你不覺得他門的音質很特殊嗎?



當然Sting的police與在我最愛名單內...

此外我當年聽好多重金屬搖滾,那是個很迷幻或者說迷失的年代....

the doors 的 the end, Manfred Mann's Earth Band 的 blinded by the light...

會覺得六七零年代的曲調尤其吉他名謠有古老單純的美感

那些會喚起我的童年記憶

比之八零真如今發現許多六七零年代歌曲美真好聽



而八零搖滾還是有些一直很喜歡的

或許喚起的是一段狂亂迷失的歲月

人不癡狂往少年!!呵呵!

風過留痕‧洛克 提到...

Scorpions真的很不錯

Send Me An Angel是我目前每天必聽歌曲之一

而且一定要他們與柏林愛樂交響樂團合作的那個版本~~~

聽了真的想流眼淚!很令人感動的一個版本~~!

如果Scorpions快一點的歌,我喜歡No One Like You這首

Sting的話,他離開Police之後的個人專輯表現都不錯

我個人喜歡Brand New Day專輯裡面的Desert Rose

而且我推薦要聽Live版的!Cheb Mammi的表現真的超優的~~~

至於The Doors......哈哈...Jim Morrison是我最崇拜的偶像之一~~

我喜歡他們的Alabama Song、Crystal Ship、Moonlight Drive...等

當然他們的招牌Light My Fire、Break On Through、Riders On The Storm也一定要聽~~

markim大人,真的是人不痴狂枉少年啊~~~我發覺我們幾乎天天墮落~~~ XD

sunny1980 提到...

樓上的"風"先生

你的留言讓我嚇到

昨天我還在聽沙漠玫瑰和 doors 的 when the music is over

其實我先前沒承認 Jim Morrison是我最愛偶像之一

是因為不好意思承認自己這麼愛迷幻墮落的感覺呵

(當年都很難找到女生會愛聽這種歌,何況現在這個年代)

尤其 markin這裡還沒出現這種很墮落的歌曲介紹

我以前哪敢承認喔



scorpions的send me an angel 的確很好聽



這些人的歌

說實在已經聽十幾年

一直沒停止

尤其是 the doors 真是 something!!



沒想到竟然有人跟我愛聽

尤其"墮落"那部份這麼雷同ㄚ

呵呵

markim 提到...

我的天哪!一下子「點播」這麼多歌喔?嚇死我了~~~

既然你們提到了,尤其是Sting 跟Jim Morrison,

加上我最近又特別回味起最偉大的Led Zeppeling,

看來過幾天我又有得忙了...

那是一個有尊嚴的年代
