背景
大家對其最熟悉的California Dreamin',電影《
阿甘正傳》(Forrest Gump)中,阿甘在越南的雨中給Jenny寫信時,響起的背景音樂就是這首
加州夢想。在
王家衛導演的電影《
重慶森林》中王菲也搖頭晃腦地哼唱著這美妙的旋律。
這首歌來自The Mamas & the Papas。可能不是有很多人聽說過這個組合,不過看過《
重慶森林》或者是《阿甘正傳》的話就應該記得《California Dreamin'》這首歌曲。這個聲音就是來自於The Mamas & the Papas。通俗的曲式,唯美的人聲,這是the Mamas & the Papas樂隊給你的一個率意的黎明,在那片走不出的重慶森林裡,
有一個姑娘也曾經和我們一起為夢中的加洲手舞足蹈。“All the leaves are brown, and the sky in gray。I've been for a walk, on a winter's day。”灰冷暗淡的冬日風露中,一曲暢快的'California Dreaming' ,將我們帶到溫暖和煦的
陽光海岸。
歌詞
All the leaves are brown,
And the sky is gray I've been for a walk,
On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm,
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church,
I passed along the way Well,
I got down on my knees,
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay .
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown,
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk,
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her,
I could leave today
