【热夏生活随笔】昨晚与狗儿一齐听音乐会，他听进去了

昨天加拿大飘来的灰色的空气还是严重，但是呢，在河边的树荫下空气还是不错的，晚上遛狗、带上狗儿去附近的街上听歌看音乐会、看其它狗狗，很有收获。

有一首歌叫 Somewhere over the rainbow 彩虹之上，前几天俺还唱过了，所以把这个现场女歌手的视频放在这儿，不听歌也可以看店里卖啥好东西。这条街春天两边的全是樱花盛开，很美的，在大街水泥面上画着好多不同造型的樱花，提醒过往的人们，美丽的春天曾经来过。

 

狗儿说，老板，你不是前两天刚唱的吗？这声音我听出来了，忘记了小狗最后有沒有鼓掌，你们自己看吧。谢谢听歌，夏季快乐。

最后下面是俺们唱的那个, 以及歌词。

18
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

[Bridge]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

[Verse 3]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?

[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

About

 

Also known as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the 1939 classic and Academy Award winning song from “Wizard of Oz”.
In 2001, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America named the song the 20th century top song (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” came second).

Written by a pair of NYC based writers (who also wrote the rest of the film’s songs), the song became a classic and an all time favorites. Lyricist Yip Harburg, though he was never credited for that.

While expressing a general hope for a better future, fitting well the story’s motif, the song draws on the lyricist’s personal Jewish experience, tradition and the ominous pre WWII and holocaust era.

An insight into the songwriter’s soul –

A song is the pulse of a nation’s heart, a fever chart of its health. Are we at peace? Are we in trouble? Do we feel beautiful? Are we violent? Listen to our songs.

The song has multiple covers, one even annotated on this very site… Israel Kamakawiwo'ole’s 1993 “Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World”.
