这是又一个从喜欢演奏乐曲开始,到找到原创歌曲的例子。从 Andre Rieu 演奏的 《My Way》到 Frank Sinatra的原唱, 从David Garrett 演奏的《Thank You for Loving Me》 到 Jon Don Jovi 的原唱, 都是这样追溯回来,自己也觉得有点奇怪,只能怪自己当时太OUT了。
David Garrett 演奏的《Your Song》已经成为他的保留曲目,最有趣的情节是,每次演出这个曲子时,都要从观众中找出一位漂亮的女士,然后 David 就像求婚一样面对着她深情而浪漫地拉出那多情的旋律,期间还会为女士送上一个亲吻。面对着心中的偶像,亲自为自己演奏,梦一般的场景,被选中的女士或欣喜若狂,或喜极而泣,或表现的十分幽默,场面令人看了十分有趣,同时感叹音乐的魔力有多强。不知道有多少这样场次的演出,不过在 YouTube 里 搜一下 “David Garrett Your Song”, 您大概会发现至少有30个。下面贴出 Elton John的原唱和五个David 的 演绎, 感兴趣的话请自己再去搜索吧。

歌词如下:
"Your Song"
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world
