民謠 Dan Fogelberg 《Leader of the band》

之乎者也

丹佛格柏(DAN FOGELBERG)，是很多民歌愛好者喜愛的藝人，他的風格橫跨民謠、搖滾和鄉村，不論是歌曲的內容或是音樂的表現，都極為精緻、而且充滿了詩意。1951年八月十三日出生於伊利諾州的他，自幼跟隨熱愛鄉村音樂的祖父學習滑音吉他，後來又潛修鋼琴等多種樂器、以及作曲的技巧。




Leader Of The Band     Dan Fogelberg




An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift
I know I never can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
A thund'ring velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand

The leader of the band
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band

My brother's lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And papa I don't think I said

付个我以前对他的第一张专辑写的简短介绍。


     

“如果说60年代后期词曲创作歌手的缩影是James Taylor，那么Dan Fogelberg就是70年代后期词曲创作歌手的代表。”

也许Dan Fogelberg真正的辉煌还是源于79年的那首经典歌曲“Longer”，但当有幸聆听这张72年的首张专辑时，依旧是深入骨髓的隽永美妙。

时事弄人，这张专辑虽然云集了Roger McGuinn、Jackson Browne、 Joe Walsh 、Buffy Sainte-Marie等众多幕后大牌音乐人，但并未让Dan Fogelberg获得成功。尽管如此，这丝毫并不妨碍今天的我们愉悦的陷入Dan Fogelberg青涩的温柔陷阱。
