Neil Diamond



Neil Diamond,1941年1月24日出生於美國波士頓,第一次認識這位創作人是由Song sung blue開始,便喜愛他的聲線,一直以為他是一位普通的singer song writer,直至電影Jonathan Livingston Seagull (天地一沙鷗)在1973年由Neil Diamond一手包辦的配樂,才知道這位天才橫溢歌手的功力。






song sung blue


Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
you sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Song sung blue...
Song sung blue...
Funny thing,
but you can sing it with a cry in your voice




Cracklin' Rosie (1970)

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie, you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah



天地一沙鷗改篇自同名寓言小說Jonathan Livingston Seagull,全片敍述一隻海鷗Jonathan的一生,畫面拍得非常優美,年少時未能感受片中的深意,只覺得配樂優美,今天重看另有一番滋味,令人不其然地回望自己前半生。

Dear Father
Written by: neil diamond



Dear father



We dream,We dream,We dream



While we may
Who are we to need



We need,We need



While we wait,While we wait








Skybird



(Written by Neil Diamond)

Skybird
Make your sail
And every heart will know
Of the tale
Songbird
Make you tune
For none may sing it
Just as you do

Look at the way I glide
Caught on the wind's lazy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart at the sight
Of you silver wings

Skybird, skybird

Nightbird
Find your way
For none may know it
just as you may





The Odyssey



(Written by Neil Diamond)



  飛行是海鷗的天性,飛得愈高,看得愈遠。Jonathan不甘心當一隻在沙灘上搶食小魚、麵包屑的海鷗,牠相信生活的意義絕不僅在填飽肚子,牠要追尋更高的生活目標。即使被逐出鷗群,牠也不放棄學習更高境界的飛行,要為崇高的理想作永恆的追尋~體驗自由、奔放的心靈,遨遊於實現自我的海闊天空。



Be



(Written by Neil Diamond)

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him
There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way



Jonathan成長在傳統的海鷗家庭,但表現的與眾不同,Jonathan從未把覓食作為學飛的惟一目的。 因此,他甘願挨著飢餓,忍著失敗和創傷所帶來的痛苦,專心的學習飛翔。他的心中,活著沒有別的意義, 只是飛得更快,更高,更完美,他認為速度就是力量,就是快樂,就是完整的美,就是生命的一切。



Jonathan成功了,但也同時遇到挫敗, 他創造了新速度,也拒絕了父母的忠告。他突破一個個新高度的時候, 海鷗家族認為他違背了傳統,冒犯了千年的尊嚴, 把他放逐到比懸崖更遙遠的地方。



在那裡,它碰到了海鷗沙利文和吉安, 在他們的悉心指引下,克服了恐懼,在荒涼與孤獨之中,他得到了頓悟,繼續著他的練習。 生命之中最為重要的事,是“盡量發展自己的潛能,把自己做到盡善盡美“ , 他認為”天堂就是完美,完美就是天堂。 在吉安的幫助下,Jonathan飛到了他認為已是天堂的地方,他成了一隻仁慈而富有愛心的海鷗。



有一天,看著只會覓食的庸俗海鷗, 它突然感到了一種拯救芸芸眾生的想法。沙利文知到後,堅決不同意它的看法, 他認為Jonathan不應該回到庸俗的族群, 那只會站在地了亂叫, 相互攻擊的海鷗世界中。



但是,Jonathan還是飛了回去, 他相信海鷗們會接受他關於愛, 關於完美的新概念,會在他的帶領下, 成為飛行與思想的自由者。 Jonathan的確受到了了一些年輕海鷗的追隨,但也面臨著許多老年海鷗的阻礙。



有一天,Jonathan的大弟子符來契在表演飛行時出了事。此刻,一切發生改變,海鷗們都認為是魔鬼,是不祥之物,大家都要將他啄死。出於無奈,它不得不離開, 他的身體變得透明,展開翅膀, 飛離了庸俗的海鷗世界。
