心的方向

我的第一捲英文專輯正是國中英文老師推薦，開啟了往後我對英文的熱情。
雖然大家都說英國腔是優雅的腔調，但我和吉米媽一樣都迷戀捲舌音超重的美語。
連住在NZ的Dr.Tim也看不起美腔，還說Claudia的英文簡直是跟翻譯辭典的發音沒兩樣。
扯遠啦～關於學英文還是有身邊的朋友會問我怎麼學？我的英文其實沒多好，其實還挺鱉腳的。
不過我覺得小時候學英文成效真的比長大再學習效果好到N倍(我指我啦)。
這首turn back the clock, 是我國中就聽的歌，到現在我連歌詞都沒忘掉～
而且這幾年我反而很少聽英文歌，要聽英文歌反而回頭找The Carpenters的專輯。


 

turn back the clock, 我第一次聽到是杜德偉翻譯經典老歌的那張Best Love專輯。
裡面全是好聽的英文老歌，還不乏目前依舊是膾炙人口的歌曲如last christmas, your song...
turn back the clock的原唱是Johnny Hates Jazz 在1987的成名曲(也同樣是專輯名)。
MV拍的是童年和玩伴膩在一起的時光，可愛極了！


Turn Back the Clock


Another day is ended
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day


I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better


Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life


You might say it's just
A case of giving up


No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love
If I could have it over
Live my life again
Oh I wouldn't change a single day


Why can't I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no


I remember when
Life was so good
I'd go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
