Janis Ian 給的我感覺很像 K.D. Lang﹐ 大概因為她們都公問了自己的性向吧。
除了 The Other Side Of The Sun 及 At Seventeen 外﹐我也喜歡她唱的 Jesse 及一首比較冷門的歌 Here Come The Night﹐ 這是跟 The Other Side Of The Sun 一樣﹐收錄在 1979年的 Night Rain 專輯中的﹐這張專輯常會絕版﹐就算是重版﹐大多是澳洲方面重版﹐面且很貴。當時徐小鳳便改編了此曲成為“人似浪花”﹐我的是找了很多年才找到此曲。

These are some of her songs I love:

"Stars"



"Tea And Sympathy"
"In The Winter"



"Micracle Row / Maria"


"Under The Cover"
"Suger Mountain"


"Hymn"

The 1st time when I hear this song, it makes my hairs stand up when the harmony starts to blend in. I think it was Phoebe Snow who sang the harmony.

Dear Sampson,

我當年界為貪便宜﹐又想聽接觸下 Janis Ian 的歌曲﹐於是我都買左 Micracle Row 隻日本版細碟。
不過她的碟真係幾難找﹐數年前我幫一個人在美國訂左 隻 Janis Ian 的 Night Rain﹐ 可能是Import 版﹐運到黎都幾二手 Feel﹐ 又無膠袋包封。後來我見這樣﹐想等美國版﹐但係始終等唔到﹐早前找到一張精選﹐幾正。仲有隻 DVD 送添。

Sampson,

Last time when you sang "The other side of the sun" in Cheer'O, you reminded me the great songs of hers. It's a forgotten name to me. Other than "The other sun", my favuorite one is "When the party's over". To me, this song represent the style of her songs.

Thansk,

Felix

Agree.

WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER

Would you like to learn to sing?
Would you like to sing my song?
Would you like to learn to love me best of all?
Anyone can learn the words
And the melody's so plain
This is my song to bring you back again
I'll teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And when the party's over
You can fall in love with me
Would you like to learn to tango?
Do you dance the light fandango?
Teach you how before we're done
Anyone can make it two
Any two can turn to one
And the melody's lost before the song's begun
Well we sound so good together
And so poorly sung alone
Your harmony's an open breeze into my sheltered home
I can teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And when the party's over
You can fall in love with me


This one is about war. Feel very sad when read about the lyric.

DANCE WITH ME

And when the war was over
I went dancing in the streets
with the corpse of my dead brother
to the sacrificial beat

the Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires
come home from overseas
singing Glory Hallelujah!
to the swank Gestapo beat

Hallelujah
I've never been
In the whole of my life
an intelligent sacrifice
Hallelujah
Give me a reason
to go on believing
and I'm ready
to pay the price

I heard of a plan
in the president's mansion
(high up in the sky)
It called for a sacrifice
and my brother paid the price

Sent him home in a bag,
The American flag
was draped around the box
The coffin lid was locked
The note said Thanks a lot

Come and dance with me
I'm home from overseas
I'm a corpse up to my knees
Celebrate the victory

Do you want to dance
and hold me tight?
I'm feeling most diseased
but I'm easier to please
Come and dance


Sampson
