Wendy Matthews - Lily (1992)
出生於加拿大、揚名於澳洲的 Wendy Matthews,在音色上與福音流行歌手的「Amy Grant」頗神似,而兩人恰巧都出生於1960年。
Wendy Matthews 在15歲還在學校期間時便加入了朋友組的「Little Benny Blues Band」樂團(後來改名為「Little Benny Park」),16歲離開學校後和幾位好友前往北美,她為自己找到一個跟音樂相關的工作;直到1983年,澳洲樂團「Little River Band」當時的主唱 Glenn Shorrock 請她以幕後主合聲的身分一起到澳洲巡迴演唱,Wendy Matthews 就此長留在澳洲發展演唱事業,擔任合聲與配唱、演唱電影歌曲的音樂工作,直到1990年才發行個人首張專輯「Émigré」,而從此開始直到2001年之間,幾乎每隔一、兩年,她總共有七次獲得澳洲唱片工業協會(ARIA, Australian Recording Industry Association)提名,六次得獎的紀錄。
這一首「The Day You Went Away」於1992年發行,1993年獲得年度最佳單曲、最佳銷售單曲,(專輯「Lily」獲得最佳專輯):
Wendy Matthews - The Day You Went Away (1992)
I, I was only ever running to your side
I never cried, I just watched my life go by
It's just a pack of lies,
'cause you're leaving me behind
Why, after this long is there nothing
I'll keep, oh, I can shout
you'll pretend you're falling asleep
I live a lie, yeah, believing that you're mine
It's just a waste of time
'cause you're leaving me behind
Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
and I thought it would rain
on a day like today
Hey, there's not a cloud in sight
it's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought it would rain
the day you went away
Hey, does it ever make you wonder what's on my mind
I was only ever running back to your side
Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
it's as blue as your goodbye
and I thought it would rain
on a day like today
Hey, there's not a cloud in sight
it's as blue as your blue goodbey
and I thought it would rain
the day you went away
He's on the buses, and the aeroplanes
with some groceries and a sleeping bag....

太厲害了.....
我昨天找了半天 也沒找到個屁
你居然馬上就找到了
給你磕頭....
讓美女開心是我的榮幸。
別太恭維我啦,我老屁股都快翹高起來了....呵呵!
這歌第一次聽耶
很好聽
我是來看您有沒有放新的啦
呵呵
Paul Simon 後來有出個人唱的
我記得有很非洲的鼓聲
我非常喜歡那種鼓聲
也是很輕快的調子
可惜我記不得是什麼歌了
哈哈
很好笑
因為我剛雖然翻到這頁來邊聽邊留言
覺得很輕快很好聽就留言
因為讓我想到Paul Simon 那首充滿非洲調調的歌
結果我關掉這頁
發現怎還繼續有鼓聲哪???
哈~~原來我一直聽到的是自己電腦media放的 Besam Mucho 的爵士音樂啦
難怪一直有喇叭和鼓聲
真是白目到家喲
版主請幫我那風馬牛不相及害你一頭霧水的留言刪掉吧
呵呵
唉~~又錯了!!
我聽到的鼓聲根本是小野麗莎的 Bilongo
我被自己神經大條打敗了
我真像是來亂的!!
請都刪掉吧
妳說的Paul Simon那首應該是「You Can Call Me Al」,專輯我有啦!
我看妳這幾段留言還是留著好了,挺有趣的說~~~哈哈。
我的modem有問題,這兩天無法連線,現在是在別的地方上網的,所以要放的歌曲要再等等囉。
