艾美懷思Amy Winehouse〈Me and Mr. Jones〉
Mr. Jones是誰?已故歌姬Amy Winehouse在歌詞中欽點的這號人物,其實就是知名音樂人Nas─本名Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones。
歌詞節錄:
Nobody stands in between me and my man
沒有人擋在我和我男人之間
It's me and Mr. Jones
我和瓊斯先生
艾拉妮絲莫莉賽特Alanis Morissette〈You Oughta Know〉
女聲Alanis Morissette在1990年代成名曲,怒斥的其實是喜劇演員Dave Coulier,兩人曾有短暫戀情,想必收尾的場面並不是很好看。
歌詞節錄:
And I'm here to remind you
我在這裡提醒你
Of the mess you left when you went away
你走時留的爛攤
It's not fair to deny me
否定我並不公平
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
我背負你給的十字架
You, you, you oughta know
你、你、你應該明白
凱蒂佩芮Katy Perry〈Unconditionally〉
這首歌是Katy Perry在還沒和前男友約翰梅爾John Mayer分手前寫給他的,但很遺憾─兩人在單曲發行約莫半年後就bye了。
歌詞節錄:
Unconditional, unconditionally
無條件的、無條件地
I will love you unconditionally
我會無條件愛你
There is no fear now
沒有什麼好害怕
Let go and just be free
放手後得到自由
I will love you unconditionally
我會無條件愛你
亞瑟小子Usher〈Burn〉
Usher為誰燃燒?真相是TLC團員Chilli,這首歌唱出他的熱情已快熄滅,共同經歷2年感情,終曲悲戚之外更多的是無奈。
歌詞節錄:
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
當我試著說出「我愛妳」的時候
I feel like this is coming to an end
我卻感覺快要走到終點
And it’s better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
而我選擇現在放手,而非繼續死撐和傷害妳
I gotta let it burn
我必須讓愛火燃盡
瑪丹娜Madonna〈Take a Bow〉
娜姐和奧斯卡金獎影帝西恩潘Sean Penn有過約4年的短暫婚姻,歌詞彷彿在描述兩位演藝圈的公眾人物的愛情故事,雖然未經官方證實,但令人不禁想像台上微笑台下落淚的辛酸。
歌詞節錄:
I've always been in love with you
我一直都深愛著你
I guess you've always known it's true
我猜你知道是真的
You took my love for granted, why oh why
你把它當理所當然
The show is over, say good-bye
這場戲已經落幕,道別吧
All the world is a stage
全世界就是一座舞台
And everyone has their part
每個人都在角色扮演
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
但我該如何得知故事走向
How was I to know you'd break
我又怎能知道
You'd break my heart
你會令我心碎
比利喬Billy Joel〈Uptown Girl〉
西城男孩Westlife曾經翻唱過的名曲,一開始Billy Joel寫的是澳洲模特兒女友Elle Macpherson,後來卻變成歌頌超模太太Christie Brinkley。結得真快啊!(順帶一提,他在2004年又娶了只比女兒大4歲的模特兒老婆,推測對這職業情有獨鍾…)
歌詞節錄:
Uptown girl
上城女孩
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
妳知道我買不起珍珠
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
但當我哪天時來運轉
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
她就會懂我是哪種人
And then I'll win
然後輪我獲勝
槍與玫瑰Guns N' Roses〈Sweet Child O' Mine〉
這首歌是主唱Axl Rose在歌頌女友Erin Everly,聽聽他怎麼稱讚她!
歌詞節錄:
She's got a smile it seems to me
在我看來她的微笑
Reminds me of childhood memories
喚醒我的童年回憶
Where everything
當時一切事情都像
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
湛藍青空一般新鮮
Now and then when I see her face
時不時我看她的臉
She takes me away to that special place
她便將我帶向特別的地方
And if I'd stare too long
如果我盯著看太久
I'd probably break down and cry
我可能會崩潰哭泣
賈斯汀Justin Timberlake〈Cry Me a River〉
翻翻舊帳,大賈和小甜甜布蘭妮Britney Spears有過一段情。只要聽過一遍就會唱副歌,這麼厲害的經典情歌就是因她而啟發的!
歌詞節錄:
You told me you loved me
妳說妳愛過我
Why did you leave me, all alone
那麼為何妳離開我,獨自一人
Now you tell me you need me
現在妳又說需要我
When you call me, on the phone
當妳打給我,在電話中
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
女孩,我拒絕了。妳可能把我
With some other guy
和其他男人搞混
天下沒有不散的筵席,有時候分開不見得不好,但是這些回憶會和歌曲一起傳唱下去,引起人們的共鳴。
