【點播台】Leaving On A Jet Plane。John Denver



Song of October, 2018 - Leaving On A Jet Plane
10月份我收到一段朋友寄來的清唱錄音,近深夜時聽到的她的歌聲非常輕柔抒情,歌詞聽來很是輕鬆俏皮,只聽一段實在不過癮,特別好奇接下來的歌~故事到底說了甚麼呢?所以下一部很自然地進入搜 MV、搜歌詞,好好地聽它幾回。我搜到的Leaving On A Jet Plane第一版本是由 John Denver 演唱的 MV,他民謠風的表現風格透著一種清逸灑脫的特質,與朋友的走法非常不同,我還蠻喜歡他的版本。

這首歌由 John Denver 詞/曲,演唱版本眾多,除了 John Denver 本人的版本外,經谷歌查訪,Leaving On A Jet Plane》是電影《世界末日》電影原聲帶其中一首,由加拿大籍歌手 Chantal Kreviazuk 演唱,MV 中搭配著太空人即將飛行前與女友離情依依的電影情節,讓你秒懂這首歌的另一種味道;60 年代的民謠團 Peter, Paul and Mary 的原唱版,也蠻雋永耐聽。 


這首歌給我的感覺是~
一首「甜而不膩,不悲情,讓人聽了會開心的情歌。

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'  
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

2018年三月,我開始學 Ukulele,雖然不是特別有野心,但因為喜歡唱歌,終於嘗到可以自彈唱的快感,也漸漸地能自我摸索或完成一些曲目,這些進化讓自己感到欣慰。

在蒐尋Leaving On A Jet Plane》時,也發現了 Cynthia Lin 這首歌的教學版,從她的影片中我漸漸地學下了這首歌(只要三個和弦:G、C、D+二種刷奏法)~從彈奏到配唱,但唱的部分牽涉到個人英文發音及因應演唱時的連結音適應力、新刷奏法與配唱的磨合,目前在很努力狀況下~但只先順到了第一段主歌+副歌 OK,Julie~妳要好好加油!

*Cynthia Lin 是我最近關注到的一位線上烏課彈唱老師,她的教學說明算是很仔細,提供的曲譜下載製作也很用心,也很喜歡她的歌聲與笑容。
