In My Life – The Beatles:歌詞及意思
In My Life (1965) – The Beatles
Tho’ I know I’ll never lose affection
In My Life (1965) – The Beatles
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
歌曲In My Life,由英國著名樂隊The Beatles在1965年唱出。歌曲長達2分28秒,類型屬於Pop Rock及Baroque Pop,填詞作曲由Lennon–McCartney組合,即John Lennon及Paul McCartney 攜手打造,歌曲被收錄於1965年專輯《Rubber Soul》。
Lennon–McCartney這個組合,他們各自認為歌曲沒有很大的功勞,例如John Lennon認為Paul McCartney 在歌曲的旋律上有很大的功勞。
歌曲引起很大迴響,特別是旋律及錄製方面。各大媒體獲得一致好評,不少得的是,被滾石雜誌列入500首最佳歌曲之一及100首The Beatles最佳歌曲之一。
根據John Lennon透露,該歌曲是他第一首「真正」的作品,關於他個人的私生活。歌曲未發行時的版本,歌詞是關於在利物浦(Liverpool) 乘坐巴士,途中所見的景點,當中包括有Penny Lane及Strawberry Field。最終,John Lennon都沒有選擇這個版本,而是選擇了關於自己過去版本。
前者的版本令到John Lennon感到愚昧,關於巴士路程的簡短歌曲,所以他集中於寫一些關於他兒時的歌曲。相信是John Lennon的粉絲,一定很喜歡這一首歌曲。除此之外,據Paul McCartney稱歌曲編曲方面靈感源於,黑人組合Smokey Robinson & the Miracles。
雖然前者的版本沒有推出,但後來他們重回舊地,Penny Lane及Strawberry Field景點。之後,推出了兩首名為”Penny Lane”及”Strawberry Fields Forever”的歌曲。
歌詞方面
填詞作曲由Lennon–McCartney組合
There are places I’ll remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better;
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I’ve loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you.
And these mem’ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Tho’ I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
Tho’ I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.
