流金岁月Carole King《You ve Got A Friend》触动我心灵

Carole King早在50年代末已經創作歌曲﹐她與Gerry Goffin (後來成為她首任丈夫) 及Neil Sedaka 等在60年代隸屬同一間音樂創作公司旗下﹐而Carole 及Gerry 這對夫妻組合更在60年代創作過百首熱門歌曲。Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow 便是他倆合作的第一首冠軍歌﹐由四人女子組合 Shirelles 主唱。而Neil Sedaka 也曾為她著迷而寫了Oh Carol﹐成為1959年一首熱門流行歌曲。Carole 雖寫下無數賣錢歌曲﹐但是總是為別人作嫁衣﹐而自己的個人專輯總是沒得到樂迷的注意。70年代初與民歌手James Taylor成為好友﹐經他鼓勵﹐再度推出個人專輯“Writer” ﹐無奈成績仍是強差人意﹐不過翌年當她推出“Tapestry” 專輯時﹐卻深受歡迎﹐該專輯甚至停留在流行榜中達6年之久﹐而且對後來多位樂壇巨星在音樂上都有深遠的影響。1995年Rod Stewart﹑Amy Grant﹑Aretha Franklin﹑Faith Hill﹑Bee Gees﹑Celine Dion 等便重唱“ Tapestry”專輯內的歌曲﹐推出“Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King ” 合輯向她作出致敬。1998年﹐她為Tom Hanks與 Meg Ryan主演的電影 You’ve Got Mail創作 Anyone At All一曲仍深具魅力。

You ve Got A Friend--carole king
When you're down and troubled
and you need some loving care
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running,
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
grows dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon you l hear me knocking at your door.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running running yeah to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yes i will.
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
When People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running running yeah to see you again.
Winter spring summer or fall,
all you've got to do is call.
and I'll be there yes i will
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
