Patrice Rushen

Forget Me Nots

这周带大家庭一首Disco 。

Disco是我最喜欢的风格之一，深深影响了我的作曲风格。这首歌堪称完美，当我第一次听到前奏的时候，便立刻爱上了Patrice Rushen 的音乐…… 
 

有很多朋友问我为什么不推荐中国音乐？相比当下国内的音乐来说，我认为至少目前没有任何国语歌的编曲称得上足够独特和令人难忘。我认为一首好歌除了词曲之外，编曲同样重要，如同一个人和他的着装，不是说“人靠衣服马靠鞍”嘛，好歌同样需要词曲和编曲的完美结合才使人陶醉。 一首好歌总是会经常的被你轻声哼起，如果我非常开心我就会立刻想起 James Brown 的那首 “I feel good"， 有时也会哼唱着扭起来…… 
 

"A picture is worth a thousand words", 一张照片能代替一千个单词，而音乐就是那张照片。其实我们不必非常注重是否听得懂歌词，重要的是你喜不喜欢这首歌给你带来的感觉。

- John

chorus:
sending you forget me nots
to help me to remember
baby please forget me not
i want you to remember

sending you forget me nots
to help me to remember
baby please forget me not
i want you to remember

those were the times we had
sharing a joy that we thought would last
memories of love and affection
never really was just like a dream
was it the simple things
that made me so crazy about you
was it your charm or your passion
it's not hard to believe
i love you and i need you so i... (chorus)

did we give up too soon
maybe we needed just a little room
wondering how it all happened
maybe we just need a little time
though we did end as friends
given the chance we could love again
[she'll always love you forever]
it's not hard to believe
i want you and i need you so i... (chorus)

(instrumental break)

Sending you forget me nots
Baby please forgive me not

(repeated by backing singers over which)

good times we had...
they weren't so bad
what a life we shared (?)
pretty baby I still care
