CCR(清水合唱團)

我曾經說過，清水合唱團C.C.R.（Creedence Clearwater Revival）是我最喜歡的西洋熱門樂團。基本上他們不太使用特別的樂器來製造一些花俏的音效，而呈現出比較傳統像是民謠及藍調的搖滾曲風，但最吸引人的恐怕還是主唱John Fogerty（約翰佛格堤）獨特的嗓音以及詮釋歌曲的風格吧。據說，C.C.R.大部份的歌都是John Fogerty的作品，而且都是由他一個人包辦主唱，他當然是樂團的靈魂人物，偏偏這位老兄也有些自大臭屁，曾對人說：我的聲音就是一項特別的樂器………。樂團於1972年解散，多少也要歸咎於他自滿的個性。

 

C.C.R.可介紹的好歌實在是太多了，今天第一炮先來介紹一首並不是特別流行的《Long AS I Can See The Light》，但我卻特別喜歡那種有些憂鬱及滄桑的唱腔感覺，請大家一起來欣賞看看。

 

 

Put a candle in the window, but I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
'Long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get movin', 'cause I'm bound to drift a while.
Well I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry no,
'Long as I can see the light.

Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone,
'cause this feelin' won't leave me alone.
But I won't, won't be losin' my way, no, no
'Long as I can see the light.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!

Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light
