【隨緣家書超短篇】感動一萬次：鬱悶的時候，請細聽這歌

今天開始，會加入「隨緣家書超短篇」環節，供所有會員閱讀。內容會很短，純粹是我的霎時隨想。

不過第一篇還是有點長。

希望和大家推介一首我非常喜歡的音樂，特別是這個版本的神級 unplugged 現場演繹，來自已故爵士樂女歌手 Nina Simone 1965年的演出。

每當感到鬱悶，我很多時會播出這首歌。看著她的演繹，無論聽過多少次，都會落淚。

記得在這裏介紹過 Nina Simone，和關於她的紀錄片（有興趣可搜查舊文）。她一生坎坷，現場演出的音樂就像訴說自己的故事。除了歌聲澎拜、充滿感情，她的鋼琴造詣也是一絕。我想，她可能是所有20世紀歌手當中鋼琴造詣最高的一人，她本來就是古典鋼琴訓練出身，技巧高超，擅長演繹巴哈。將這份功力融入爵士樂、再變成一位高度參與社會的少數族裔，只此一家。

《Tomorrow is My Turn》是我看紀錄片之前，已經情有獨鍾的作品。錄音室版本比較輕鬆，雖然是同一份歌詞，彷彿對未來依然有盼望：「tomorrow is my turn」。

但這個版本剛好相反，非常催淚，將「But honey it's too late to regret, what is gone will be no more」這句淡淡然的歌詞，變成全曲的主調。「Tomorrow is my turn, to receive without giving......」這些 chorus 歌詞，反而變成對人生的控訴。

聽完，就返唔到轉頭。

大家有興趣讓我多分享音樂推介嗎？

[Verse 1]
Though some may reach for the stars
Others will end behind bars
What the future has in store no one ever knows before
Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success
That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness

[Chorus]
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn
When my luck is returning
All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving
Make life worth living
Now it's my life I'm living

[Verse 2]
My only concern for tomorrow is my turn
Now the summer is gone, there's another to come
You can't stop years from drifting by even if you want to try
Though time may help you forget all that has happened before
But honey it's too late to regret what is gone will be no more
