因為奧運的關係
讓我想起1996年Gloria在亞特蘭大奧運閉幕上
現唱的這首Reach
我很喜歡她的歌聲
特別是當年這首Reach
整個曲調跟歌詞涵義簡直就是完美的結合
而Gloria除了歌喉棒
創作也多半是由自己一手包辦
其實要一個拉丁裔歌手在美國竄紅並不簡單
但我從小就認為她有這種過人的魅力能吸引群眾
特別是極有穿透力、渾厚、溫暖的歌聲
聽過叫人想忘也難
每次聽到她的歌聲都會令我不自覺的認為
她一定是個很熱愛生命的人
其實這位身材嬌小的拉丁女性
曾經在1990年經歷過一場很大的車禍
脊椎受到嚴重傷害,開了4個多小時的刀...
最後命是保住了,但心理卻受到嚴重傷害
後來經歷一年多的心理治療才恢復...
也許是體會過死蔭幽谷後的豁然開朗...
所以她後來寫這首Reach的時候,非常有感觸吧!
在Youtube上找到了兩個版本
一個是MV,一個是當年在亞特蘭大閉幕式的現場演唱
↓MV在此,這首歌也收錄在她當年的專輯Destiny中(我有買喔XD)
↓這個要看一下下才看的到她的演唱 (好啦...在2:40的地方就有了XD)
等等...
該不會我在這自言自語講了這麼多
還是有人不知道她唱過什麼有名的歌?
雖然光可以把這首歌舉例出來就知道我有多老骨頭
但我還是要強烈建議大家去聽聽她當年的代表作Conga
最後附上Reach的歌詞
Reach
performed by Gloria Estefan
some dreams live on im time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i'll do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hope for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment in my life
i'm donna be stronger
know that i've tried my very best
i'd put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those day we rise above the stars
so i'll go the distance this time
seaing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream will be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment reach the sky
from that one moment in my life
i'm gonna be stronger
know that i've tried my very best
i'll put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
if i could reach,higher
just for the moment reach the sky
from that one moment in my life
i'm gonna be ......
i'm gonna be so much stronger yes i am
i'd put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
if i could,if i could
if i could reach
i'd reach,id reach,i'd reach,i'd reach
i'd reach so much higher
