永恒的歌声

掌声响起--凤飞飞

当我得知台湾歌手凤飞飞和美国歌手惠特妮·休斯頓相继去世的消息后,颇为震惊。我感叹生命的脆弱,转眼即逝,无法再回来了,心里不免伤感。凤飞飞演唱的《掌声响起》,惠特妮演唱的《I Will Always Love You》,仿佛萦绕在我的耳畔。人虽离去,歌声永恒。

凤飞飞本名林秋鸾,她每次出现在舞台上总搭配各式各样的帽子。从1971年起,凤飞飞发表首支单曲,开始了漫长而辉煌的歌手生涯。凤飞飞安于低调实在的自然做派,在她25岁时写下的一段自序里说,“我从来不曾在生命的画布上,刻意地加上几许炫丽的色彩”。

凤飞飞是电影《枫叶情》、《我是一片云》主题歌的演唱者,还演唱了《追梦人》等许多歌曲,我尤其钟爱她演唱的《掌声响起》,是她上千首歌曲中的翘楚之作。这首歌曲是由陈桂芬作词, 陈进兴作曲。据说,当凤飞飞看到这首歌的歌词时,她就足足哭了三个小时,开始录音的时候,她还是要求先让自己哭完再进行录音,即便如此,每次在舞台上演绎这首歌的时候,她还是常常唱得泪流满面。这首歌曲唱出了作为艺人成功的不易。

歌曲:掌声响起
演唱:凤飞飞

孤独站在这舞台
听到掌声响起来
我的心中有无限感慨

多少青春不在
多少情怀已更改
我还拥有你的爱

好像初次的舞台
听到第一声喝采
我的眼泪忍不住掉下来
经过多少失败
经过多少等待
告诉自己要忍耐

掌声响起来我心更明白
你的爱将与我同在
掌声响起来我心更明白
歌声交会你我的爱

永远爱你--惠特妮

惠特妮·休斯顿多才多艺,既是歌手、演员,又是作曲家、电影制作人,曾经还做过模特。她拥有强而有力的嗓音,一字多转音的感染力,与宽广的音域。她演唱的单曲有:“Saving All My Love for You”“Didn't We Almost Have It All”“I Will Always Love You”“One Moment in Time”“I'm Every Woman”“My Love Is Your Love”“I Learned from the Best”等。

惠特妮·休斯頓和Kevin Costne在电影《The BodyGuard》精湛的表演,令人难以忘怀。惠特妮·休斯頓扮演歌星Rachel, Kevin Costne扮演保镖Frank, 我喜欢电影里Rachel和Frank的对话,充满了幽默和风趣。当Rachel第一次见到Frank时,Rachel说。
Rachel: Well, you don't look like a bodyguard.
Frank: What'd you expect?
Rachel: Well, I don't know, maybe a tough guy?
Frank: This is my disguise.

当Rachel在购物时,Frank的回复颇为智慧。
Rachel: Will you grab that jacket for me? The red one, please?
Frank: I'm here to keep you alive, not help you shop.
他们俩一次在餐馆晚宴的对话也颇有意思。
RACHEL: Have you ever liked anybody?
FRANK What do you mean?
RACHEL Like me -- a girl.
FRANK A long time ago.
RACHEL What happened? Do you mind if I ask?
FRANK Do you mind if I don't answer?
RACHEL I don't want to pry...

我尤其喜欢电影结尾Rachel和Frank的表演,在飞机场上,Rachel惊喜地看到Frank来为她送行,他们俩还是一如既往地风趣幽默。
RACHEL You shouldn't be here.
RACHEL So, you're quitting show business?
FRANK Yeah.
RACHEL Too bad. You had talent.
FRANK So, how's the new guy?
RACHEL He's got white hair, Frank.
FRANK He's very good.
RACHEL Why'd you have to get me an old man?
FRANK I don't trust you.
RACHEL Yeah... well, give me a kiss and let's get this over with.
FRANK 'Bye Rachel.

Frank和Rachel在机场告别后,Frank依依不舍地目送着Rachel登上飞机,《I Will Always Love You》的歌声响起,当飞机正要起飞时,Rachel突然说,请等,便下了飞机,立即向Frank跑去,他们俩深情地吻别。Rachel对Frank说得这段话颇为真挚:"Remember when you said you'd risk your life for me? I didn't really believe it then. Nobody means what they say. But you did, Frank. You did it. You laid it all on the line for me.I'll never forget what it felt like to be under your eye. Never. I won't be forgetting you either. I want you to keep this. If you ever need me, you just put this on and no matter where you are I will find you. I promise."

Frank开始了新的保镖工作,Rachel也继续着她的唱歌生涯,电影就在《I Will Always Love You》画外音中结束了,余音缭绕。

Song: I Will Always Love You
Artist: Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you

You, my darling you, you
Bitter sweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed off
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish to you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
