親自送達:Personally -- Karla Bonoff

quill mark

談到 Nicolette Larson,忽然想到這首以前還蠻喜歡聽的歌:Karla Bonoff 的 "Personally"。

Wild Heart of the Young - Karla Bonoff覺得這兩位女歌手的歌聲,都有點率性;Nicolette Larson 多帶點野性,而 Karla Bonoff 則多了點嫵媚。這也難怪,因為她們都是 Linda Ronstadt 的伴唱歌手出身,Linda Ronstadt 當然只找歌唱特質和她相近的人來和聲。

Karla Bonoff 還會寫歌,Bonnie RaittWynonna JuddLynn Anderson 和前老闆 Linda Ronstadt,都曾唱過她的作品。

她的個人專輯,我買過一張 "Wild Heart of the Young",是衝著 "Personally" 這首歌,和撩人的專輯封面才買的。

"Personally" 在 1982 年曾獲美國流行榜第 19 名,成人抒情榜第 3 名,是 Karla Bonoff 最暢銷的單曲。

不過有點諷刺的是,整張 "Wild Heart of the Young" 專輯,"Personally" 是唯一一首非她所創作的曲子。這首算是她招牌曲的 "Personally",作者是 Paul Kelly,在 1978 年時,曾由 Jackie Moore 唱進 R&B 排行榜,名列第 92 名。

對了,"Personally" 這首歌,在幕後幫忙和音的,可是大名鼎鼎的老鷹合唱團(Eagles)成員 Don HenleyTimothy B. Schmit

這首歌應該是沒有 MV,YouTube 上有樂迷自製的影片,配以與歌詞相關的圖片,還有 Karla Bonoff 的專輯封面和照片,個人覺得非常「有趣」,特別當我看到「老夫子」時,忍不住哈哈大笑。裡面還有梵谷的畫喔……

 

PERSONALLY

親自送達

(Karle Bonoff)

I've been writing letters every day now
since you've been gone
Talking to you on telephone
For what seems like a whole life long

But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest kin

I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah

There's nothing like the feeling I get
Oh, when you're touching me baby
It's nothing like the feeling you get
When I'm there with you
All with love

But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest friend

I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah

But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest friend

I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah

現在我每天都在寫信
自從你離去
與你電話談天
等待像是一輩子

但我有樣東西要給你
郵差沒辦法投遞
我不能郵寄送去
我不能致電送去
我不能傳遞送去
即使是你的至親

我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達
我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達

我從沒有過這種感覺
喔,當你觸碰我時,寶貝
這也不是你有過的感覺
當我過去與你相伴
帶著全部的愛

但我有樣東西要給你
郵差沒辦法投遞
我不能郵寄送去
我不能致電送去
我不能傳遞送去
即使是你的密友

我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達
我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達

但我有樣東西要給你
郵差沒辦法投遞
我不能郵寄送去
我不能致電送去
我不能傳遞送去
即使是你的密友

我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達
我將帶去給你
親自送達,親自送達,親自送達
