Try to　Remember
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　Music :Harvey Schmidt　
lyrics :

Tom Jones

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was

slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When

grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of

September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember

and if you remember then follow

Try to remember when life was so

tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the kind

of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember

and if you remember then follow ( follow )

Deep in December it’s

nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in

December it’s nice to remember
The fire of September that made us

mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow

这实在是一首很久远的歌了,很多人知道它可能都因为张婉婷的那部电影《

玻璃之城》中黎明的演唱,但实际上它来源于成立于50年代的美国民谣乐队the

brothers four的第十六张专辑《TRY TO REMEMBER》

无论欧

美还是港台,其原生音乐之初都有一个用天真之气酿就的“民谣时代”.
美国的

民谣时代发轫于三四十年代,六十年代达到其巅峰.此时民谣小组盛极一时.最出名的

有编织者合唱团(TheWeavers),四兄弟演唱组(the Brothers Four)、金斯顿三重唱

(KinstonTrio),四季演唱组(The 4 Seasons)和莱特曼三人组合(The Lettermen).

其中,四兄弟除了使用吉它,还加配了四弦的次中音吉它以及五弦的斑鸠琴,使合

奏的音感大为增强,引领着蓝草音乐(B1uegrass)大步向前.听他们的音乐,似乎能闻到

青草的淡淡香气.那质朴优美的旋律,清新隽永的歌词,流水般潺潺的吉他,还有让黎明

相形见绌的四兄弟温暖而悠扬的和声,这一切都令人对那种田园牧歌式的生活充满了

无限的向往.
the Brothers Four的音乐至今已经流传了五十多年,其间产生了无

数堪称经典的民谣歌曲,如《The Green Leaves of Summer》《500 Miles》《Where

Have all the Flowers Gone》《Greenfields》等等,在瞬息万变的当今乐坛,the

Brothers Four的传统民谣曲风似乎显得落伍,但他们仍然坚持自己的音乐方向,在他

们的音乐中始终能找到属于音乐的最长久的生命力和最本真的美.
