最近听到的版本是从同学手机上播放的贾老板版本(feat. Carey Mulligan and Stark Sands)(J.T.的录音更透彻,感染力也相对更强,而老boss们的版本就是更需要投入地去听),当时正驾驶着一辆亮着胎压预警器的rental car上驰骋于加州的高速公路,一曲亢奋的不看歌词一句都听不懂的California Hotel (Live)结束,响起Five Hundred Miles的前奏,顿时无言,再响起歌唱,无尽感动。说是歌词部分highly based on 迪伦的『I Was Young When I Left Home』(推荐Marcus Mumford的版本,毕竟迪伦自己唱的比较难接受.. 而且这里面关系特别有意思,贾老板的版本(Inside Llewyn Davis & 电影配乐)找了Carey Mulligan (盖茨比女主)来feat,而她又嫁给了Marcus Mumford,然后M.M.又唱了贾老板唱的这首歌的原版的歌词的灵感来源的歌的翻唱..[可见500 miles的地位有多深!以及娱乐圈的关系有多复杂!])。歌词的确相似度极高,包括远离home的主题,某些对称,重复等等,并没有调查过发行年月,好像年份是相同的,不要在意这些细节。『I was young when I left home』『To my home, Lord, to my home』『You’ll hear that whistle blow hundred miles』『Hundred miles, honey baby, Lord, Lord, Lord』『An’ you’ll hear that whistle blow hundred mile』
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A Hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four Lord I’m 500 miles away from home away from home,away from home,away from home,away from home [500 miles – P.P.M版本] Lord I’m 500 miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way [a- –> ole] This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
原生美音强力击穿韩梅梅Lei总等(I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done)(There’s such a difference between us. And a million miles),时隔三年归来 一举成为英语教学典范。
此曲已然是通杀了国内外各大新闻/音乐/社交网站的首页,不过这只是穿榜年的开幕。副歌够亮,不过这情伤主题好像比较没劲,传言说是对前男友『嘲讽』,可惜艺术界的东西并不知道真假,视作真情实感去听,就觉得那句『a million miles』组合着『I’m sorry, for breaking your heart』带着整首音乐变得凶残可怖起来,不过呢,够爽快。
[Verse 1] Hello, it’s me I was wondering if after all these years You’d like to meet, to go over everything They say that time’s supposed to heal ya But I ain’t done much healing Hello, can you hear me? I’m in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet There’s such a difference between us And a million miles
[Chorus] Hello from the other side I must’ve called a thousand times to tell you I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I’ve tried to tell you I’m sorry, for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
[Verse 2] Hello, how are you? It’s so typical of me to talk about myself I’m sorry, I hope that you’re well Did you ever make it out of that town Where nothing ever happened? It’s no secret That the both of us are running out of time
[Chorus] Hello from the other side I must’ve called a thousand times to tell you I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I’ve tried to tell you I’m sorry, for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
[Chorus] Hello from the other side I must’ve called a thousand times to tell you I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I’ve tried to tell you I’m sorry, for breaking your heart But it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
