Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby Mcgee





看Watchmen(守護者)認識的曲子,也多認識Janis Joplin這個歌手。

傷當不錯的曲子阿!

在<watchemen>的原聲帶中有再次後製,音軌變得更乾淨,不過各有特色.。Janis的聲音有靈魂歌手的厚度,又有搖滾式的嘶啞,這首曲子後面的一整段"lalala",正好將她這些特色發揮得淋漓盡致。


Janis Joplin在1970年因為使用海洛因過量,加上飲酒(唉,是搖滾歌手的宿命嗎)在錄完這首<Me and Bobby McGee>過後幾天以27歲的年紀(差不多是詩人與搖滾歌手該掛掉的年紀)過世了。

這張單曲,在她死後成為她在美國排行榜上唯一一張冠軍單曲,也是搖滾史上唯二在死後還有曲子能登上排行榜冠軍的歌手。這首<Me and Bobby McGee>則在2004年滾石雜誌選出的史上五百首最偉大的單曲中排名第148名。


因為副歌的歌詞實在很愛,所以特別Mark起來:

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
feeling good was good enough for me.

另,Janis扭起來跟Guns N' Roses的主唱Axl Rose的fu好像阿....
不知道Axl Rose是不是有偷偷迷戀她....



附上歌詞

Me and Bobby McGee

Janis Joplin

(As recorded by Janis Joplin)
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
FRED FOSTER

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' fer a train
When I's feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time I's, holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain't free, no no
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold world
One day a near Selina Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose
Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
Hey feeling good was good enough for me, hmm-mm
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo lo Bobby McGee
Lo lo lo lo lo lo Bobby McGee

Lord I called him my lover, I called him my man
I said called him my lover just the best I can and c'mon
And and a Bobby oh, and a Bobby McGee yeah
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Hey hey hey Bobby McGee, lord.

La da la la la, la da la la la la la
Hey hey hey Bobby McGee yeah
