席琳·迪翁(Celine Dion)是享誉世界的加拿大天后。1968年出生于魁北克省,5岁开始唱歌,12岁出道,她的歌声空灵大气,仿佛能穿透灵魂、直指人心。
这首《Dance With My Father》(与父共舞)是由四届格莱美奖得主、R&B音乐教父级人物路德·范德鲁斯(Luther Vandross)和理查德·马克斯(Richard Marx)共同创作的,由路德首唱。
2003年6月,路德的最新专辑《Dance With My Father》一经发行就风靡世界,众多明星以视频和照片的形式参与到MV中,展示父子、父女之情。
路德在歌词里写下了一个孩子的记忆:男孩的父亲因糖尿病并发症去世,那一年他只有7岁。
路德的歌声中带着一点点忧伤,更多的还有那些遥远而温暖的细节和情绪。
2004年,丧父一年的席琳迪翁翻唱了这首歌,同样是经典之作。
2004年的格莱美奖上,路德的这首歌让他一举拿下年度最佳单曲、最佳蓝调歌手和最佳蓝调专辑三项大奖。
当时路德因健康状况欠佳未能出席颁奖礼,现场由席琳·迪翁翻唱,理查德·马克斯为她钢琴伴奏。
有网友评论称,这是“一位巨星对另一位巨星的原版的深情致敬”。
before life removed all the innocence my father would lift me high and dance with my mother me then spin me around till i fell asleep
then up the stairs he would carry me and i knew for sure i was loved if i could get another chance i'd play a song that would never ever end to dance with my father again when i and my mother would disagree to get my way i would run from her to him he'd make me laugh just to comfort me then finally make me do just what my mama said later that night when i was asleep he left a dollar under my sheet never dreamed that he would be gone from me if i could steal one final glance i'd play a song that would never ever end to dance with my father again sometimes i'd listen outside her door and i'd hear how my mother cried for him i pray for her even more than me i pray for her even more than me i know i'm praying so much too much but could you send back the only man she loved i know u don't do it usually but dear lord she's dying to dance with my father again every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream
