今年的确一直在翻唱The Carpenters的作品， 上半年把多年前买的一本关于Karen Carpenter的传记"Little Girl Blue"翻出来从头到尾读了一遍，唏嘘不已。她的悲剧，和原生家庭脱不了关系，加上当年心理健康医疗的水平和认知的欠缺...碰巧今年她的老哥和她的一些好友也在媒体上证实，或者承认了很多当年的情况。
他们的音乐对我影响很大。特别喜欢这首歌轻快的旋律。翻唱的时候不同的区域前前后后叠加了超过20个音轨，虽然唱那么多次有些麻烦，但是录到后来，跟着自己前面录好的音轨合唱，体会到了旋律带来的无比愉悦。
All You Get From Love Is a Love Song
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The future that lies before me I cannot see (look out, look out - the future I cannot see)
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Look out, look out - the future I cannot see
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song (all you get from love is a love, love song)
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you got to take the blame for a love song (got to take the blame for a love, love song)
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
And it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song (all you get from love is a love, love song)
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
All you get from love is a love song...
