今天介绍一首Backstreet Boys的歌曲,相信80后的朋友在初中那会儿几乎都听过他们的歌。其实小程那会儿是属于后知后觉,直到高中我才知道这么个乐队,也是因为这首歌,引发了一段有趣的故事。
在高中的时候,我们英语课要求每个值日生当天要做一个报告,讲个英文故事,唱首英文歌都可以了。那时候大家基本都在唱歌,我也不例外,记得在我过去写的那篇追忆迈克杰克逊的文章“Gone Too Soon……你就这样离开我们了,MJ.致给我最爱的天王——Michael Jackson 迈克杰克逊”中说过,小程第一次演唱的是迈克杰克逊的歌,之后相当于是“一炮走红”吧,很多同学都邀请我在他们值日当天帮着一起唱歌。
我有个同学叫大米,他是第一个邀请我的,我们关系不错,所以我答应了。当时他给了我一个随身听,然后一盘后街男孩的磁带,叫我听这首“As Long As You Love Me”,记住歌词,然后将歌学会。
因为他是要过一个多星期才轮到值日,所以在上台之前随身听完全属于我的,而我也乐于这样。这里还有个插曲要说说,当然,这又显现出我的“落伍”性了,呵呵。这是我第一次听walkman,对,没看错,我高中了,第一次用耳塞听歌。大家都知道每个人第一次用都觉得很稀奇,而且,呵呵,而且最容易出现一个情况,什么情况呢?就是以为自己听见的声音别人也能听见,并且自己说话声音很大,以为这样别人才能听见。
记得我第一次戴耳塞,我竟然问我同学,哇,那么大声,不会吵到别人吧,他说你摘下来看能不能听见?还有以后戴耳塞说话千万别大声,你刚才说话吓我一跳呢。
之后的每天我都没事就听歌,可以说那段时间把Backstreet Boys的歌都听烂了,还可以炫耀自己“有”个随身听,呵呵。后来,自然而然的,“As Long As You Love Me”这首歌也就学会了,我们也顺利的表演完。直到现在,虽然很久没唱了,但还大概能唱出来些。
记得那次好像还是我们班第一次在值日的时候出现两人组合配合演唱,之后就出现更多的花样,例如有出场秀啥的,很多人一起唱的,等等,弄得是越来越好玩了。
现在回忆起来还是觉得那么有趣,真想再回到那段日子。
although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
i’m leaving my life in your hands
people say i’m crazy and that i am blind
risking it all in a glance
how you got me blind is still a mystery
i can’t get you out of my head
don’t care what is written in you history
as long as you’re here with me
i don’t care who you are
where you’re from
what you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you’re from
don’t care what you did
as long as you love me
every little thing that you have said and done
feels like it’s deep within me
doesn’t really matter if you’re on the run
it seems like we’re meant to be
i don’t care who you are
where you’re from
what you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you’re from
don’t care what you did
as long as you love me
as long as you love me
as long as you love me
i’ve tried to hide it so that no one knows
but i guess it shows
when you look in to my eyes
what you did and where you’re comin from
i don’t care, as long as you love me, baby.
i don’t care who you are
where you’re from
what you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you’re from
don’t care what you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you’re from
what you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you’re from
as long as you love me
what you did
as long as you love me
