Beat it
(!)Beat it是一首摇滚名曲,入围了摇滚名人堂史上500首经典之作,同时入围滚石杂志最佳100首摇滚吉他歌曲。
这首歌曲由michael Jackson亲手作词、作曲,并演唱,后来经过时任美国总统的里根的建议,将这首歌用在,一个劝导禁止酒驾的公益广告中。
杰克逊本人也因此被里根总统请至白宫,亲自为其颁发了“世界杰出青年奖”以及“特别贡献奖”。
同时杰克逊也凭借《Beat It》这首歌获得了第26届格莱美最佳摇滚男歌手。
在今天的节目里,我要为大家送上的是女声版的beat it。
如果说男歌手的声线给人烟的感觉,音符像吐出的烟圈,阳刚而有力,那么女歌手的嗓音就像是红酒,充满柔情,意犹未尽。

(8)When you say nothing at all”由写过20首乡村冠军金曲的创作组合Paul Overstreet、Don Schlitz联手谱写,是Julia Roberts 与Hugh Grant领衔主演的浪漫文艺片“Notting Hill”(《诺丁山》,又名《摘星奇缘》)的主題曲,95年由Alison Krauss来翻唱(被称之为“蓝草风格”的版本),她凭借这首歌以精湛传情的演唱勇夺格莱美奖。
Alison Krauss 是当今美国兰草音乐的领军者,“蓝草”音乐(Blue Grass)是美国民间音乐其中的一种,精致、纯正,这种音乐有两三部和声,节奏激烈,不受情感约束。
Alison的歌曲之所以吸引人是因其个人演唱魅力和她所创作的精致、纯正的蓝草音乐。
Alison的歌曲中使用的乐器依然是小提琴、曼陀铃、木吉他和斑鸠琴这样蓝草的标准乐器,编曲配器也绝少矫饰,没有任何世俗渲染的音乐配上Alison Krauss清泉般透彻的歌声,使得蓝草音乐愈加发扬光大。
